Don’t want no static. Tha God Fahim is set to release his Six Ring Champ mixtape on March 25, and tips off the set with his “4 Matic”. Over acclaimed Montreal producer Nicholas Craven’s soulful loop, the Atlanta rapper unbridles his keen wordplay full of bravado.

Stream Hot Water Music’s Deeply Satisfying New Album Feel The Void

They’ve spawned legions of imitators, but virtually nobody else has managed to bring that passionate fists-up headrush thing on their level. Today, Hot Water Music have come out with a new LP, and it’s almost bafflingly good. The […]

Holy Fawn – “Death Is A Relief”
Two years ago, the Arizona heavy shoegaze band Holy Fawn released their EP The Black Moon, and it ruled extremely hard. Right now, Holy Fawn are on tour with Deafheaven and Midwife, and that sure looks like a sick triple bill. Today, in the middle of that tour, Holy Fawn have come out with a […]
Praise – “All In A Dream”
In the last decade, a group of young musicians in Baltimore changed the face of hardcore.

These days, TUI are dormant, but Turnstile and Angel Du$t […]
hey, ily – “Intrusive Thoughts Always”
We called last year’s hey, ily EP Internet Breath “the Nintendocore x emo x powerpop x shoegaze hybrid you didn’t know you needed.” Today the Billings, Montana band — who describe their style as “genre dysphoric emo synth music from hell” — has returned with a similarly hyperactive genre meld called “Intrusive Thoughts Always.” It […]
