The late musician David Crosby was known for a lot of great things, but he also donated sperm to Melissa Etheridge so she and her partner at the time, Julie Cypher, could have kids in the ’90s. Today, Etheridge revealed that she was not the only parent that Croz donated sperm to. “We’re still finding […]
Morgan Wallen Is The Latest Artist To Get Hit With A Fan’s Phone
I thought we’d moved past this. Harry Styles getting pelt in the eye with a Skittle wasn’t all that funny. Kid Cudi getting hit with bottles was just plain sad. I’ll give creativity points to the person who threw their mom’s ashes to Pink, but she didn’t deserve that. And Bebe Rexha getting hit with […]

Eliza McLamb On How Fiona Apple, Sally Mann, Carrie & Lowell, & More Inspired Her Transformative Debut Album Going Through It
Eliza McLamb’s face on the cover of her debut album Going Through It is a bit blurry under a layer of water and a cluster of bubbles rippling outward across the surface of the pond. It’s unclear whether she’s going under or coming up for air — an ambiguity that parallels the two tracks that […]
Imagine Dragons Singer Defends Playing Israel And Azerbaijan, Serj Tankian Responds
Last year, System Of A Down leader Serj Tankian publicly asked Las Vegas arena-rockers Imagine Dragons to cancel a planned concert in Azerbaijan, citing that country’s campaign of ethnic cleansing against Armenians. Imagine Dragons ignored Tankian’s request and played that show, and Tankian recently expressed his disapproval of that band: “I don’t know what to […]
Downhaul – “Sinker”
Richmond indie rockers Downhaul specialize in giddy, twangy headrush melodies, and if you fuck with Pinegrove, I can’t see any reason why you wouldn’t fuck with them. Downhaul released their surprise EP Squall last year, and they followed it up with the one-off single “Welcome.” Today, they’ve got a new song called “Sinker,” and it’s […]
Album Of The Week: Bacchae Next Time
The history of DIY punk rock in Washington, DC spans something like 45 years. In that time, DC punk has nurtured all sorts of vocalists: growlers, howlers, barkers, snarkers, whiners, moaners, yappers, zappers, preachers, screechers, gurglers, motormouths, dreamy waifs, deadpan wraiths, mock-operatic divas, whatever you want to call Ian Svenonius. For the life of me, […]
Oneida – “La Plage”
Oneida are gearing up to release Expensive Air, their new album and the follow-up to 2022’s Success. They shared lead single “Here It Comes” back in May, and now we have another one called “La Plage.” “La Plage” is on Oneida’s darker side, complete with psychedelic surf-punk guitar licks, fiery blasts of drums, and some bastardized […]
The Bug Club – “Lonsdale Slipons”
“Listen up, little babies.” This is how the Bug Club start their savory new single, “Lonsdale Slipons.” It’s out today along with the announcement of the Welsh duo’s Sub Pop debut, On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System, out August 30. Last month, the Bug Club announced their signing to the iconic Seattle label […]
