Rosie Carney has shared “Black Star,” the latest track from her upcoming Radiohead cover album project, appropriately titled The Bends, which is the title and title track of Radiohead’s sophomore outing. While “Black Star” follows a similar somber feel to the original, Carney’s version of the 1995 track shows the fragile and really sad side […]
Chai – “Plastic Love” (Mariya Takeuchi Cover)
CHAI still haven’t confirmed a full-length follow-up to last year’s PUNK LP, but we’ve been hearing a lot from the sweetly eccentric Japanese pop-rock band. Last month, they capped off a steady stream of one-off tracks with the news that they were signing to Sub Pop. The announcement was accompanied by another single, the supremely […]
27 Different Indie Artists Cover Blink-182's "Dammit" On New Compilation
2020 has been a big year for Blink-182 fandom, especially among indie-rock types. There was the moment in March that a bunch of indie stars parodied the Gal Gadot “Imagine” video by singing Blink’s “I Miss You.” There was Christian Lee Hutson covering “Going Away To College.” There was August’s Dude Ranch tribute compilation — […]
Nekra – "Esquire" & "Red Room"

Mystic Inane – "Peckerwood Nero"
Three years ago my colleague Tom Breihan posted the LA Women mini-LP by a New Orleans punk band called Patsy, noting, “their schoolyard-taunt snarl is one of the coolest things I’ve heard out of the DIY underground in a minute.” Candice, that band’s driving force, is also in Mystic Inane, who have a new EP […]
Rosie Carney – "Just" & "Black Star" (Radiohead Covers)
When Irish singer-songwriter Rosie Carney went to see Radiohead as a teenager, she had an anxiety attack and blacked out at the arena. And when the pandemic hit earlier this year, she relapsed into depression, moved back to her parents’ house, and decided to record a full-length cover of Radiohead’s iconic 1995 album The Bends […]
