Weezer has shared a new song from their upcoming Van Weezer album. “Hero” features the band’s classic power-pop sound from their earlier days. It’s the first song they’ve shared since last year’s “End Of The Game.” For the video that was shot from quarantine, Weezer enlisted folks to participate in the tightly-edited clip where the mustached Rivers Cuomo […]
Weezer – "Hero"
LOL remember when we thought Weezer were heading out with Green Day and Fall Out Boy on the Hella Mega Tour this year? Good times. Back when they announced that jaunt, each band shared a new single. Weezer’s offering, “The End Of The Game,” was the opening track from their upcoming album Van Weezer, which […]

Ezra Koenig Plays 'Father of the Bride' Medley
While others are keeping the quarantine streams going or doing weekly covers, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig has been chilling out a bit — with the occasional acoustic tune on Instagram or joining his partner Rashida Jones on an zoom interview.

Gum Country – “Tennis (I Feel OK)”
I used up all my Gum Country x Stereogum jokes on the post for “Somewhere,” the lead single and title track from the LA harsh twee duo’s debut album. Now that the Courtneys’ Courtney Garvin and multi-instrumentalist Connor Mayer are back with a second track from the LP, I have no more Gum Country jokes […]

Cass McCombs – “The Wine Of Lebanon”
Cass McCombs, one of our greatest songwriters, likes to move in mystery. McCombs stays off of social media and generally seems to shy away from any and all spotlights, so whenever he pops up with anything new, it’s a surprise. Last year, McCombs released Tip Of The Sphere, his most recent album. Since then, he’s […]
Hundredth – "Idioteque" (Radiohead Cover)
Are Hundredth on a quest to cover every electronic pop song made by a sad guitar man in the early aughts? The dreamy Myrtle Beach rock group — formerly somewhat of a hardcore band, now something more like new wave — shared their rendition of the Postal Service’s “Sleeping In” last month. Now they’ve gone […]
Jehnny Beth – "Heroine"
Savages frontwoman Jehnny Beth was supposed to release her debut solo album on Friday. That’s not happening anymore. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, To Love Is To Live has been delayed until June. But that doesn’t mean we won’t get to hear any more of the record until then. We’ve already gotten three singles, “I’m […]
