Lighters up! Wiz Khalifa’s still living it up on the road in his new music video, “What Would I Do”. Shot by Braden Walker, the rap superstar jets from city to city where he performs at various venues for The Good Trip Tour, interacts with fans, and kicks it with the homies including Berner, Smoke […]
Fust – “Violent Jubilee” (Feat. Michael Cormier-O’Leary)
Fust is the musical project of Aaron Dowdy, a Ph.D student in literature at Duke, and his pals Frank Meadows, Avery Sullivan, and John Wallace. Based in Durham but formed in Brooklyn, the band plays the sort of crystalline country-rock I associate with Ruston Kelly, Field Report, and other rootsy stuff that seems explicitly designed […]
Knower – “The Abyss”
A couple weeks ago, Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi announced KNOWER FOREVER, their first full-length project as Knower since 2016’s Life. Lead single “I’m The President” landed on our best songs of the week list and since then Cole also put out an album of solo outtakes. Today, the pair is back with a new […]
Buggin – “Snack Run”
Next month, the seriously kickass Chicago hardcore band Buggin will release their full-length debut Concrete Cowboys, and we’ve already posted their early songs “All Eyes On You” and “Not Yours.” Those tracks show just how forceful and serious Buggin can be.

Post Malone’s new album Austin is coming July 28. He announced as much in an Instagram video late last night, in which he also reveals that he plays guitar on every song. “It’s been some of the funnest music,” he says. “Some of the most challenging and rewarding music for me at least. You know, […]
Riot Fest 2023 Lineup Has The Cure, Foo Fighters, Death Cab For Cutie, The Postal Service, & Much More
Chicago’s gigantic and vaguely punk-centric Riot Fest is coming back to Douglass Park in September. Once again, it’s got a lineup that’s utterly stuffed with big names. This year’s biggest name is probably the Cure. The festival also has Death Cab For Cutie and the Postal Service, Ben Gibbard’s two forever-interlinked projects, as well as […]
Watch Steve Earle, David Byrne, Kurt Vile, & Terry Allen Play Together At John Henry’s Friends Benefit In NYC
Once a year, Steve Earle holds his John Henry’s Friends benefit at New York’s Town Hall, raising money for children diagnosed with autism. Earle always gets some big names to play the show; in 2021, Bruce Springsteen opened for him. Last night, Earle did something different with the benefit. Rather than a bunch of separate […]

In a clip filmed at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Scott can be seen sitting in the locker room talking about Utopia, telling KRIV Sports Director Mark Berman, “It’s on the way now, Mark.” Scott also appears to say he’s “finish[ing] the […]
