Back in January, Mustafa hosted a benefit concert in New Jersey that raised money for the people of Palestine and Sudan. Now, as people of both regions continue suffering under abhorrent violence, the Sudanese-Canadian soul-folk musician is setting up another gig in London next week, with a pretty stellar lineup including Earl Sweatshirt, Clairo, King […]
Gel – “Persona”
Gel are one of the best hardcore punk bands in the world, and they continue to get better all the time. It’s honestly scary. Right now, Gel are all over the European festival circuit, playing charged-up basement ragers to crowds who might not be used to hearing that kind of thing, and they are reportedly […]
Militarie Gun Made Post Malone’s WWE 2K24 Pro-Wrestling Entrance Music
Post Malone loves Militarie Gun. As far as I’m concerned, this is one of the most endearing things about Post Malone. Posty, who’s currently gearing up for the release of his country album F-1 Trillion, has a long history of supporting hardcore and metal bands — hanging out with them, wearing their merch onstage, popping […]
Watch Beck Perform Orchestral “Paper Tiger” & Chop It Up With Kimmel Guest Host Martin Short
Beck has a bunch of festival dates coming up, and he’s also getting ready for a full-on orchestral tour — one where he’ll, for instance play the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Last night, Beck stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote that tour. He gave an incredibly cool preview of how that […]
The Bear Season 3 Has Nine Inch Nails Score, New Eddie Vedder Cover Of “Save It For Later”
The Bear is back, baby! The best show on TV — my opinion, anyway — made its triumphant return to Hulu last night, dumping its entire third season all at once. People are already posting recaps. I haven’t had time to watch any of it yet, but I’m looking forward to more terrifyingly stressful kitchen […]
Melt-Banana – “Flipside”
It’s been over a decade since we last got an album from Melt-Banana, but they’re picking up right where they left off. Ahead of their new album 3+5 this summer (following up 2013’s Fetch), the Tokyo noise rock icons have shared the wild single “Flipside.” Premiering exclusively through BrooklynVegan, “Flipside” is full of rip-roaring guitars […]
Pom Pom Squad – “Downhill”
Pom Pom Squad, the one-woman alt-rock project from New York’s Mia Berrin, made a lot of noise with their 2021 debut album Death Of A Cheerleader. They became a Stereogum Band To Watch, and my brain exploded a little bit when I learned that Berrin is MC Serch’s daughter. After the LP’s release, Pom Pom […]
Blood Incantation Announce New Album Absolute Elsewhere
Last year, Blood Incantation unleashed the two songs “Obliquity Of The Ecliptic” and “Luminescent Bridge,” both nearing ten minutes and following their 2022 ambient album Timewave Zero. Today, the Colorado death metal crew is announcing a new LP titled Absolute Elsewhere, as well as their own Stargate Research Society discord and Elsewhere Searcher app. “Absolute […]
Common Sage – “Edin” (Feat. Thursday’s Geoff Rickly & Steve Pedulla)
New York post-hardcore band Common Sage released their sophomore album It Lives And It Breathes in 2021, and now they’ve announced plans to follow it with a new three-song EP called Nostos | Algos. Common Sage’s whole style harkens back to the slashing, dramatic screamo of the Y2K era, and for the new EP’s lead […]
Denzel Curry – “Black Flag Freestyle” (Feat. That Mexican OT)
Next month, the young Florida underground rap veteran Denzel Curry will release his new album King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2, the sequel to a mixtape that the teenage Curry released way back in 2012. The new record has appearances from luminaries like A$AP Rocky, Juicy J, Project Pat, 2 Chainz, and Maxo Kream. […]
