New Music Sharon Van Etten

Sharon Van Etten is an artist who can write her own ticket-who does so regularly, and who it seems will always make the kind of music that we fall for-just from the opening notes. On her new single, “Comeback Kid” she quickly reminds us why we were fans in the first place, while getting us...More Please

The Bright Light Social Hour Drop Mystical New EP

For a good while now, the bands that carried on the psych rock traditions of the past, have had to set themselves apart from one another. For some, it’s been all about trippy live performances and for others, it’s really just been about the music. For Austin’s The Bright Light Social Hour, it’s always been...More Please

Noname Delivers Versatile Hip Hop

There are twinkled harps, jazz backed tracks, and poetry all over the latest release – Room 25 from Chicago’s Noname. The verses on this album mixes bold lyricism, angular and skat vocals, and even tongue-in-cheek rhymes showcase how strong the rapper, poet, and songwriter is. The lyrics are so captivating, so necessary, and so today...More Please

We’re Crushing on Constant Image

Post-punk music is in many ways, the new thing – or at least, it feels that way. There are plenty of solid post-punk bands coming around lately, but none have the pop sensibilities of Washington, D.C.’s Flasher. Their debut record was more traditional post-punk, while their latest release Constant Image adds new wave touches to...More Please

The New Buxton Should Be Amazing

When bands stay on the traditional album cycle, it seems formulaic at times, and an ideal from another era. It’s from a time when bands didn’t have to continuously drop new music to stay in front of their core fans, and it made sense so long ago. For Buxton, the members have been in so...More Please

The English five piece Basement has always made good music, and their latest tracks from their upcoming release Beside Myself just proves they should keep the good music coming. On “Disconnect” the band...More Please

Rose Ette Goes All The Way

Indie pop is a term that can often get misused, though with Houston’s Rose Ette, it fits the foursome perfectly. In the span of three years the group has had a lineup change and steered from their earlier bedroom pop sounds to a more indie rock pop fueled sound with ease. On their latest single...More Please

The Fever 333 Offer Crazed Visual Sounds

New Music The Fever 333

It’s hard not to be reminded of a particular sound, when you hear some bands. Sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes it isn’t, and sometimes it takes weeks to figure out what you’re hearing. With The Fever 333, we immediately noticed that they reminded us of Rage Against The Machine, with their mix of hip hop, punk,...More Please

When Protomartyr Collaborates, It’s Magical

New Music Reviews

Post-Punk Protomartyr

Detroit’s Protomartyr have had no trouble making their name known since getting their start eight years ago. Since they began, they’ve proven that post-punk still has plenty of bite, and their latest collaborative releases just prove that they’re a band everyone wants to work with.

Joyce Manor’s Latest is Forgettable

Reviews

Joyce Manor New Music

Bands typically grow in one of two possible directions. Most bands tend to grow forward, writing better songs and better melodies while growing their fan base. Every once in a while, a good band grows backwards. It happens, though it sucks to see happen. I’ve been a fan of California’s Joyce Manor since I first...More Please

Johnny Marr Keeps Adding To His Luster
