Everything But The Girl Share New Song "Run A Red Light": Listen
Everything But A Girl’s comeback album Fuse has thus far yielded the aerodynamic bangers “Nothing Left To Lose” and “Caution To The Wind.” Today they’ve given us something slightly different. New single “Run A Red Light” is an electronic ballad laced with piano, or maybe a piano ballad laced with electronics? Ben Watt begins the song on lead vocals, then Tracey Thorn emerges to intermingle with… → Read More
Aftershock 2023 To Be Rocked By Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Pantera, Incubus, Queens Of The Stone Age, Turnstile, & Every Other Rock Band
Aftershock is bringing all the rock bands to Sacramento this fall. The festival, set for Oct. 5-8 at Discovery Park, has announced a lineup full of veteran rockers, with a few relative youngsters sprinkled in. Guns N’ Roses, Korn, Tool, and Avenged Sevenfold are the four daily headliners in reverse order. Other top-billed acts include Incubus and Turnstile (an inspired pairing), Godsmack and… → Read More

Metallica Buying Vinyl Plant Furnace Record Pressing
For the superstar class, vinyl is big business these days. You’ve heard about pop stars like Taylor Swift and Adele pressing up hundreds of thousands of LPs, many of them to be purchased as collector’s items and home furnishings, and delaying access to the press for indie artists in the process. But top-tier classic rock bands are moving a lot of wax too. Case in point: Metallica just bought… → Read More
Drugdealer Share New Song "Lip Service": Listen
Drugdealer delivered just about the smoothest ’70s pop-rock pastiche imaginable with last year’s great Hiding In Plain Sight. Today they’ve followed up the album with another retro delight, a new single called “Lip Service.” The song begins with essentially a primitive version of the Cars’ “Just What I Needed” intro before segueing into some soulful power-pop. Things go up a notch when the lead… → Read More

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown Share New Song "LEAN BEEF PATTY": Listen
“First off, fuck Elon Musk.” Those are the opening words on “Lean Beef Patty,” the lead single from JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown’s long-teased collaborative album Scaring The Hoes. The duo previewed the Peggy-produced song — named for the fitness and bodybuilding influencer — two weeks ago in an episode of Brown’s YouTube series. Now it’s officially out, all one minute and 47 seconds of it. Listen… → Read More
Stream The New EP From Philly Shoegazers Bleary Eyed
Bleary Eyed are a shoegaze band from Philadelphia, and they sure do sound like it. On a new self-titled EP released today, the group puts a slightly poppier spin on the experimental dream-pop of acts like Knifeplay, TAGABOW, and Spirit Of The Beehive. Alex G’s tweaked melodious vision looms large, as does, well, the entire history of the subgenre. This is an ain’t-broke-don’t-fix-it situation,… → Read More

Florence + The Machine Cover No Doubt's "Just A Girl" For 'Yellowjackets' S2
The hit Showtime series Yellowjackets — which tells the story of a high school girls soccer team stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash in the ’90s in parallel with the characters’ lives in the present — is about to return for its second season. To mark the occasion, Florence + The Machine have delivered a suitably dramatic cover of “Just A Girl,” the lead single from No Doubt’s 1995… → Read More
The Antlers Share New Song "I Was Not There": Listen
The Antlers released a tremendous reworked version of frontman Peter Silberman’s solo song “Ahimsa” last fall, and today they’ve served up another slow-build beauty. “I Was Not There,” which boasts similar artwork to “Ahimsa,” is a nearly six-minute swoon that starts out sounding like the quiet part of an Arcade Fire song and ends up like Sade floating in the ether. It’s a patient, gorgeous song… → Read More

Strange Ranger Share New Song "Rain So Hard": Listen
Strange Ranger are playing our Range Life party in Austin on SXSW Music week, and it seems they’ll have at least one new song to perform. “Rain So Hard,” out today, follows last year’s expanded edition of the Philly group’s No Light In Heaven mixtape, which yielded the bonus track “Raver Explanation.” The new track is billed as the first of many from Strange Ranger this year, so perhaps a new… → Read More
