We last checked in on the Swedish indie-pop anthem-slingers I Love Your Lifestyle way back at the end of 2015 — what a different world it felt like back then — but they’ve kept building up a feverishly enthusiastic fan base ever since. They’re following up last year’s well-received The Movie with a new one […]
Clairo – “I’ll Try Anything Once” (The Strokes Cover)
Clairo has spent most of 2020 tossing musical odds and ends up on the internet. She kicked off the year with a couple of demos, “february 15, 2020 london, uk” and “Everything I Know,” and then pivoted to a series of lo-fi covers including Anna Domino’s “Everyday, I Don’t,” Johnny Flynn’s “Brown Trout Blues,” and […]
RADIORGASMO Anticipate The Global Changes We All Hope For On New Music Video, “Joker”
Berlin-based Italian band RADIORGASMO are sustaining the heavy momentum they initiated with the release of their single, “Joker,” by pairing the tracks with adequate visuals that clearly illustrate the message and purpose of the song. Their entire lives, the RADIORGASMO members have been focused on promoting values of hope, unity, and peace, but they have […]
Kississippi – “Around Your Room”
Kississippi, the increasingly pop-minded project of the Philadelphia musician Zoe Reynolds, have released a new single, “Around Your Room,” today. The onetime Band To Watch got their start making wispy and hypnotic folk reveries, which opened up into more muscular fare on their debut full-length, 2018’s Sunset Blush. “Around Your Room” is their most unabashedly […]
Chubby And The Gang – “Union Dues”
At the very beginning of this ridiculous year, the London band Chubby And The Gang came out with one of the best punk rock debuts in recent memory. The members of Chubby And The Gang come from the UK’s huge and vital hardcore scene, and frontman Charlie Manning used to be in the hardcore bands […]
Bleached Share New Song "Stupid Boys": Listen
Bleached impressed us with last year’s newly sober Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough?, closing track “Shitty Ballet” in particular. Today they’re back with their first new song since then. “Stupid Boys” is built around an upbeat chorus — “Stupid boys with broken hearts/ Love to watch you fall apart” — but as Jennifer Clavin […]
Future Islands Play Powerful 'Colbert' Performance & Stream New Album 'As Long As You Are': Watch & Listen
Baltimore art-pop warriors Future Islands may be the last band ever to blow up on the strength of a great late-night TV performance. I refer, of course, to the 2014 David Letterman performance — the one that send Letterman, then in the twilight years of his network-TV career, into giggling delight. Letterman’s not on late-night […]
New Vision From Multitalented Musician Sumen On Rock, Blues, And Rockabilly On Recent Releases
Some people happen to be lucky enough to find the craft that perfectly fits them, their abilities, and their passion. El Segundo, CA-based producer-songwriter Matt Sumen and music were meant for one another. It is enough to listen to his recent release of six separate singles to have no doubts that Sumen and music are […]
Porches – "I Miss That"
Porches’ Aaron Maine released a new album, Ricky Music, at the beginning of the year right as lockdown started. This summer, he’s remixed Girlpool and helped out his bud Dev Hynes to remix Tame Impala, and today he’s back with a new song of his own, “I Miss That.” On it, Maine continues down the […]
Hannah's Little Sister – "Gum"
Hannah’s Little Sister are a quartet out of Liverpool that make everything-but-the-kitchen-sink pop music that’s as zany as it is catchy. They only have a couple of songs out in the world so far, including “20” and “Bin Mouth,” but next month they’re releasing their debut EP, the charmingly-titled EP.mp3. Today, they’re sharing “Gum” from […]
