Boldy James – “Could Be Worse”
Boldy James just never stops working. Last week, we posted the Detroit underground rap great’s Evidence-produced single “Drop An Album,” and its title seemed like a joke. After all, Boldy had just dropped his second album of 2022, teaming up with Montreal producer Nicholas Craven on the excellent Fair Exchange No Robbery. Next month, Boldy […]

The Men – “Hard Livin’”
The last time we heard from the Men, the grimy Brooklyn band who have long mixed noise-damaged punk with swaggering classic rock, they were throwing their album Mercy into the world. That was one month before the pandemic hit and New York became a ghost town. Today, the Men have announced plans to release a […]
