Natural Wonder Beauty Concept – “Sword”
DJ Python teamed with Ela Minus on a fantastic three-song release last year that we named both one of 2022’s best EPs and one of its best electronic albums.

The Pretenders – “Let The Sun Come In”
Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Chrissie Hynde has been in the news lately for slagging off the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame; she’s as real as it gets. Hynde founded the Pretenders in 1978, and she’s continued to lead her band through tragic deaths and lineup changes and shifting tides for the past […]
Band To Watch: Pupil Slicer
Pupil Slicer’s Mirrors was one of 2021’s finest (and most chaotic) metal albums. The London trio’s debut leapt from idea to idea with casual abandon, sweeping up frenzied mathcore, menacing grind, swelling emotive hardcore, bludgeoning death metal, and twinkling post-metal in its wake. The album housed both the bloodcurdling 47-second paroxysm “Stabbing Spiders” and the […]
Dolly Parton – “World On Fire”
Earlier this week, Dolly Parton announced her rock album ROCKSTAR, which has dozens of legendary rockers as featured guests (and Kid Rock…).

Mandy, Indiana – “Drag [Crashed]”
Mandy, Indiana’s debut album i’ve seen a way is just eight days out, and they’ve got a hell of a final teaser for us today. New single “Drag [Crashed]” — which follows “Injury Detail,” “Pinking Shears,” and “Peach Fuzz” — is dark and hard and nasty, a haunted house with a relentless techno pulse. It’s […]
The Masked Singer’s Sushi People Released Their Cover Of Radiohead’s “Creep”
Perhaps it’s time for us, as a culture, to let go of our attachment to Radiohead’s hit 1993 single “Creep.” Radiohead walked away from that song decades ago, but the song has never gone away, and now it’s entering Leonard Cohen “Hallelujah” territory. “Creep” apparently gets prominent placement on the soundtrack to the new Guardians […]
