Cherie Currie Explains How Rush “Sabotaged” The Runaways In 1977: “I Could’ve Been Paralyzed”
The beef between Rush and the Runaways goes way back. The 2010 film The Runaways depicted Kristen Stewart — as Joan Jett — urinating on a band’s guitar after they mocked the Runaways’ opening set. Jett later revealed that it was inspired by Rush because they “sat on the side of the stage and laughed […]
Heems – “Dame”
Earlier this year, the New York rapper and former Das Racist rapper Heems came back with the Lapgan-produced Lafandar, his first new album in a very long time. Heems won’t be taking another long break between albums; he’s already coming back next month with the new Veena LP. We’ve already posted its lead single, the […]
Dale Crover – “I Quit” (Feat. Kim Thayil)
Melvins drummer Dale Crover and Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil are two guys who were there for the very beginning of the Seattle underground-music scene that came to be known as grunge.

Militarie Gun – “Thought You Were Waving”
Everyone digs Militarie Gun ’round these parts. We love them, you love them, Post Malone loves them. So I’m pleased to report that the Los Angeles hardcore band have a new single out today, “Thought You Were Waving.” Militarie Gun have kept themselves quite busy since their great 2023 album Life Under The Gun: They […]

Band To Watch: Combat
I gotta admit, as a 44-year old, it’s kinda mind-blowing to think about an 11-year old listening to Dan Deacon. Whenever I see people in their early teens at Pitchfork Festival, I wonder if I should feel bad that they’re being exposed to cool music from the jump and missing out on formative experiences of […]
