It’s hard to find a lot of information online about the band Regrowth, something I attribute to three different factors. First, they’re pretty new; they only just released the debut EP This Time I’m No Longer Alone in 2018. Second, they come from the Italian island of Sardinia, a fairly remote place. (As far as […]
Hey Colossus – “The Mirror” (Feat. Mark Lanegan)

Thunder Dreamer – "House And Garden"
Thunder Dreamer, the Indiana-based Band To Watch, have been all but silent since releasing their 2017 debut album Capture. And even though they’re back today to share new music, they’re remaining pretty quiet. “House And Garden,” the opening track from their Summer Sleeping EP, exists in that softly pretty Wild Pink/Real Estate zone, trading out […]

It has been a long, long time since we’ve heard from Joshua Leary, the UK producer and Yeezus-era Kanye West collaborator known as Evian Christ.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Shares Cover Of Wreckless Eric's "Whole Wide World": Listen
There is something hilariously and almost delightfully un-punk about Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong releasing an Amazon exclusive on a Bandcamp Day. Presumably, Armstrong had nothing to do with this particular bit of timing. It’s still funny. But then, I’m writing a blog post about Armstrong’s Amazon song, and you’re reading it, so maybe […]
Insides – "Ghost Music"
The Brighton ambient/post-rock duo Insides (originally known as Earwig) are widely revered for their 1993 debut album Euphoria, released on 4AD’s Guernica imprint. A couple more albums followed, 1994’s Clear Skin and 2000’s Sweet Tip, but they haven’t put out any new music since. That changes today, as Kirsty Yates and Julian Tardo are back […]
