In recent years, the Richmond, Virginia rapper Fly Anakin has become an underground institution who cranks out new music at an alarming rate. That whole rise reached a crescendo earlier this year, when Fly Anakin released Frank, which was officially and somewhat absurdly marketed as his debut album. But even after releasing a big-deal record […]
Show Me The Body – “LOOSE TALK”
The New York City hardcore band Show Me The Body are about to head out on tour with Soul Glo, and ahead of that they’re releasing a track called “LOOSE TALK,” their first new song since last year’s Survive EP, and apparently a preview of a bigger project to come later this year. “LOOSE TALK” […]
The Mountain Goats – “Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome”
Last month, John Darnielle announced a new the Mountain Goats album, the action movie-inspired Bleed Out, which was produced by Bully’s Alicia Bognanno. Lead single “Training Montage” landed on our best songs of the week list, and today the band is sharing a new song with the very good title “Wage Wars Get Rich Die […]
Lil Silva – “To The Floor” (Feat. BADBADNOTGOOD)

Johnson — will release their sophomore album, Rolling Golden Holy, the follow-up to their 2020 Grammy-nominated debut.

Nicholas Craven – “Death & Taxes” (Feat. Boldy James)
In his own words, the Montreal hip-hop producer Nicholas Craven has been serving up “Soulful Gritty Beats from the North Since 2006.” Today one of those beats goes to the Detroit veteran Boldy James. On “Death & Taxes,” Boldy rides Craven’s weightless soul loop with a casual command. The song features no drums at all, […]
Jawbox Surprise Release First New Music In 26 Years
Jawbox, the great DC post-hardcore band fronted by indie super-producer and future Burning Airlines member J. Robbins, just put out their first new music since 1996. Technically, I guess it’s new old music. Jawbox’s surprise-released The Revisionist EP includes two reworked Jawbox classics, “Grip” and “Consolation” (both from their 1991 debut album Grippe), plus a […]
Stream Baltimore Hardcore Warriors End It’s Brain-Stomping Unpleasant Living EP
In the past year or so, Baltimore’s End It have gone a long way towards becoming one of the biggest and best bands on the current hardcore landscape, and they’ve done it while releasing barely any new music. End It released their last EP One Way Track early in 2020, just before the pandemic hit. […]

Stream Westside Gunn’s Hard New Mixtape Peace “Fly” God
Last year, the prolific Buffalo rap overlord Westside Gunn released his massive double album Hitler Wears Hermes 8: Sincerely Adolf, which will hopefully be the last entry in that whole questionably titled series.
