Pile Of Love – “Over & Out”
Last year, a bunch of members of bands like Drug Church, State Champs, and the Story So Far got together to form a new power-pop band called Pile Of Love, and they did it without telling anybody. In fact, Pile Of Love didn’t inform the world of their existence until their self-titled debut album was […]
Ab-Soul – “Do Better” (Feat. Zacari)
Earlier this year, the veteran TDE rapper Ab-Soul released two singles: “Hollandaise” in April, “Moonshooter” last month. For most rappers, that wouldn’t be a lot. For Ab-Soul, it’s a big deal. Ab-Soul’s been mostly absent for these past few years, but a press release claims that he’s got a new album on the way. We […]

Sigrid – “Blue”
We did not like Sigrid’s second album nearly as much as her first, but we’re not about to get off this train just yet. The Norwegian pop singer has announced a new acoustic edition of this year’s How To Let Go with two new songs, one of which, “Blue,” is out today. How To Let […]
Fleshwater – “The Razor’s Apple”
Fleshwater play a mixture of currently trendy grunge and shoegaze sounds. They do it pretty well, too. The group, which features members of hardcore-band-that’s-actually-a-nu-metal-band Vein.fm, recently announced their Kurt Ballou-produced debut album We’re Not Here To Be Loved, and its lead single “Kiss The Ladder” was among our favorite songs of the week. Today they’re […]
Saintseneca – “Wild Violent”
Saintseneca, the whimsical and melancholic Columbus folk-rock band led by Zac Little, has not been super active in recent years. Since 2018’s great Pillar Of Na, the group has only released two songs, 2019’s holiday offering “Winter Breaking” and 2021’s “All You’ve Got Is Everyone.” But they kicked off a brief tour last night, and […]
Margo Price – “Ragged Old Truck” (Billie Joe Shaver Cover Feat. Joshua Hedley)
Margo Price has a lot of cool projects in the works right now. In addition to covering Sleater-Kinney’s “Turn It On” on the just-released Dig Me Out tribute album, in January she’ll release new album Strays, and her memoir, Maybe We’ll Make It, came out earlier in October. Price is also on New West’s forthcoming […]

One of the selling points of the box set is a treasure trove of demos, including one for “Yellow Submarine” that was released today as an early teaser. As heard on the album, “Yellow […]
