The Boise trio Ingrown play an ultra-heavy, extra thick iteration of hardcore that has a lot in common with death metal and Pantera’s sludgy riff-monster approach. Today they’ve blasted two new songs into the world, “Cold Steel” and “Grunt,” for a 7″ that, in the words of my trusted colleague Tom Breihan, “goes crazy.” It […]

Stream Westside Gunn’s Final Studio Album And Then You Pray For Me
Rappers love to say that their new album will be their last album. It’s almost never true, but until they change their minds, you have to take them at their word. Buffalo rap don Westside Gunn releases a lot of music; he came out with the guest-heavy LP 10 less than a year ago. Since […]

The Libertines Announce First New Album In Nine Years All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade
It’s been a while since the Libertines, the famously chaotic UK rockers, have released anything. Back in 2015, the Libertines dropped their third LP Anthems For Doomed Youth, which itself was the band’s first LP in 11 years. Still, give the Libertines credit for still being a functional band more than 20 years after Up […]
