Get Wrong is a new project from members of two undersung UK indie-pop bands, Martha’s Naomi Griffin and the Spook School’s Adam Todd. Last month, they released their first-ever single, “It’s So Easy.” It’ll appear on Get Wrong, their eponymous debut EP, which was produced by Field Music’s Peter Brewis. The music that Griffin and […]
The Discontent At Discogs
On May 19, Paul Terzulli, a retired DJ with an enviably rare vinyl collection, made a surprising announcement: He planned to stop selling his records on Discogs. For more than a decade, Terzulli relied on the online marketplace to supplement his income. But it no longer felt worth it. The tipping point came in late […]
You’ve Heard Lucian Blaque (You Just Don’t Know Where)
In a scenario that must’ve crossed H.G. Wells’ mind at least once, a time-traveling teen turns back the clock to go down on themselves. That’s the salacious sight gag in the 2022 HBO series The Time Traveler’s Wife, one that Decider called the “wildest oral sex scene in the history of television.” And, as these […]
Stream Huntington Beach Hardcore Band Diztort’s Long-Awaited LP Vengeance Is Mine
It’s been more than six years, but the Diztort album is finally here. Diztort come from Huntington Beach, California, and they make a form of stomping, chest-thumping hardcore that owes a whole lot to classic NYHC. There’s a whole lot of metal in Diztort’s riffage, but there’s also a serious muscular bounce in their sound. […]

Album Of The Week: Spiritual Cramp Spiritual Cramp
There’s a guy in Spiritual Cramp who just plays tambourine, and his presence is weirdly crucial. That’s not because there’s so much tambourine in Spiritual Cramp’s music; most of the time, you can’t hear it at all. It’s not because tambourine player Jose Luna is the secret musical genius behind the band, either; singer Michael […]
Happy Halloween: Here Are This Year’s New Christmas Albums
Today is Halloween, which means only one thing: It’s time for Stereogum to once more confront the terrifying spectacle of holiday music already being out, in some cases for several weeks. If you think it’s terrifying to listen to Christmas music during an October month that’s actually been rather sweltering at times, imagine how the […]
Marnie Stern – “Til It’s Over”
Marnie Stern’s triumphant return is upon us. For years now, the idiosyncratic indie rock guitar hero has been playing in the 8G Band, the Late Night With Seth Meyers in-house band, and she hasn’t been releasing her own music. This week, however, Stern will follow up 2013’s The Chronicles Of Marnia with The Comeback Kid, […]

Next week, the New York City musician and pre-school social worker Anna Daneshevskaya Beckerman is releasing her debut full-length album under the name Daneshevskaya, Long Is The Tunnel. We’ve heard a handful of songs from it already — “Challenger Deep,” “Big Bird,” and “Somewhere In The Middle” — and today she’s sharing one last single, […]
Why Did The NFL Try To Turn Post Malone Into Rod Serling?
Post Malone might not be the dominant pop star that he was a few years ago, but he’s still famous enough to pop up randomly before a nationally televised NFL game to give a dramatic introduction. Yesterday, Posty appeared on Fox to introduce a Cowboys/Rams game, and for some reason, he was shot and styled […]
