It’s been a few years since the difficult-to-categorize New Jersey rapper and singer 070 Shake made a memorable guest appearance on Kanye West’s “Ghost Town” and promptly got famous. Next month, Shake will release her album You Can’t Kill Me, and she’s already shared lead single “Web.” Today, Shake has also shared a new song […]
Erica Dawn Lyle & Vice Cooler – “Debt Collector” (Feat. Kim Gordon)
On a forthcoming benefit album, two musicians who have played with legendary punk bands have called in some help from their peers. Erica Dawn Lyle joined Bikini Kill for that band’s reunion. Vice Cooler was in the noise band XBXRX; he’s produced for Peaches and Ladytron and played live drums for the Raincoats. Lyle and […]
Quavo & Takeoff – “Hotel Lobby”
I guess we’re about to see how Migos function as a two-man operation. Offset (and his wife Cardi B) have unfollowed Quavo and Takeoff on social media, and the latter two just released a single together, albeit not under the Migos name. Quavo is Takeoff’s uncle, so some of the promotion surrounding their new track […]
Stream Sunami’s Bloodthirsty New Release 2022 Promotional Tape
Nobody in hardcore makes goon music more primal and insane than San Jose marauders Sunami. Sunami’s whole deal is that they push tough-guy beatdown music way past its logical extreme, taking it into the realm of joyous cartoon violence. With that style, Sunami have become full-on cult heroes over the past few years. The band […]
Stream Spice’s Excellent New Post-Hardcore Album Viv
For many years, Ross Farrar has been the lead singer for the ever-evolving California punk institution Ceremony. Right now, Farrar is playing to massive crowds every night on the extremely sold-out Turnstile tour, but he’s also got other things going on.

Lou Barlow And Company – “Only Fading” & “Sacrifice”
Indie rock lifer Lou Barlow is in a whole mess of active bands: Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, the newly reunited Folk Implosion. Barlow also makes solo music; he released the album Reason To Live last year. Today, Barlow has come out with a new two-song single, but it’s not exactly a solo record. Instead, it’s the […]
Stream Boldy James & Real Bad Man’s Tough New Album Killing Nothing
The hard, weathered Detroit underground rap veteran Boldy James has made some of the best records, in any genre, of the past few years, and he never stops working. One of the four studio albums that Boldy released in 2020 was Real Bad Man, a full-length team up with the LA collective Real Bad Man, […]
Stream Harry Styles’ New Album Harry’s House & Listen To Our Podcast About It
One of the year’s most anticipated pop albums is out today. Harry Styles has returned with Harry’s House, his funky, folky, synthetic-organic dispatch from domesticity. Styles only shared one song from the album ahead of time, the squiggly synth-pop #1 smash “As It Was.” That song is not a total outlier on Harry’s House, but […]
Spiral Stairs – “Pressure Drop”
Scott Kannberg is back with a new Spiral Stairs album, the successor to 2019’s We Wanna Be Hyp-No-Tized. It’s called Medley Attack!! and it’s out in July. (That name is a reference to the Talking Heads’ working title for Remain In Light, Melody Attack.) Apparently, it may also be the last Spiral Stairs outing. Medley […]
Here’s Post Malone’s Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers Theme Song

Well, the day has arrived. The Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers soundtrack is out, and with it, Posty’s new theme song. The […]
