Melvins 1983 – King of Rome – Music Stream

April 26, 2025

Ahead of upcoming release Thunderball, the Melvins 1983 drop “King of Rome.” This is heavy, but not “Honey Bucket” heavy.

False Heads – Cracked – Music Stream

April 19, 2025

Buzz Osborne and Gavin Rossdale will never have a lovechild, thankfully, but one interesting outcome might have sounded like East London’s False Heads.

Charm School – Without a Doubt – Music Stream

January 24, 2025

The song features a slow-paced melody, smart use of percussion, and is just dreamy enough to make the whole thing feel like home.

Pixies – (Jane) The Night the Zombies Came – Music Stream

October 30, 2024

Frank Black Francis can still write a weird, affecting tune. It’s folky, ethereal, and probably the best offering from new record, The Night the Zombies Came.

Expected Highs – They Gave Me Pills – Music Stream

October 6, 2024

Expected Highs sound like the Jesus and Mary Chain with a little organ thrown in. Who doesn’t once in awhile?

September 29, 2024

Punk girls, pissed off about identity, the future, and their seemingly tenuous place in it, yeah, that would be the Pinky Rings from Austin, Texas.

September 23, 2024

“The Future” was the first of three singles released ahead of Superdrag singer John Davis’ new solo record, JINX. The shoegaze element beats out the pop.

September 15, 2024

The band has been getting cloudier and cloudier, moving away from indie pop to the land of fuzzy shoegaze chainsaws.

Bad Nerves – You’ve Got the Nerve – Music Stream

September 11, 2024

Reminiscent of souped-up Supergrass or the Damned at their fastest. Sped-up ’70s punk with raging guitars, high-pitched vocals, and a call-and-response chorus.
