Gil Cerrone are a screamo quintet from Melbourne whose spin on the genre’s flip-the-fuck-out tendencies errs on the long and ambitious side. Coronach, their new EP, is bookended by a pair of six-minute songs that extend and expand well beyond their initial impact. Half the time Gil Cerrone sound more like “post-hardcore” than “screamo” if […]

Polo G – “Distraction”
Last year, the reliably excellent Chicago sing-rapper Polo G released a great album and topped the Billboard Hot 100. He also got arrested for carrying a concealed weapon in Los Angeles, which means he’s now facing a felony charge.

Jessica Boudreaux & Adult Mom – “Cruel Summer” (Taylor Swift Cover)
Jessica Boudreaux (of Summer Cannibals) has teamed up with Adult Mom for a cover of “Cruel Summer,” Taylor Swift’s Lover track that was co-written by St. Vincent and, much to many of her fans’ chagrin, was never released as a radio single. Their take on the track is a little grungier but keeps the weightless […]
