That’s about to change. Later this summer, Life’s Question will release their debut album World Full Of…. The band previewed the album back in December […]
Cults – “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore)” (Frankie Valli Cover)
Cults have a new song from the soundtrack for the audio-only post-apocalyptic vampire drama Impact Winter, an Audible original that apparently is not related to the video game of the same name.

You wouldn’t necessarily expect a band from Arkansas to have much in common with one from Tokyo, but apparently thundering riffage is a universal language.

Polo G – “Distraction”
Last year, the reliably excellent Chicago sing-rapper Polo G released a great album and topped the Billboard Hot 100.
