The Numero Group and Majesty Crush have announced a career-spanning, double LP titled Butterflies Don’t Go Away.
Razor Braids make a splash in the indie rock scene with “It Goes Quiet,” a love song dedicated to abandoning fear and learning to trust.
Spurts have just released their new single “Easy For You,” an anthemic slacker rock tune about achieving success in a cutthroat society.
Humanz was my very first Gorillaz album and it left me as confused and mystified by them as I was before. Genre wise it is literally impossible to classify the album. It felt like they took the parts they liked from each genre and tried to put them together to create one product. It made for an interesting listen and when it worked, it really worked. But that was only about 50% of the time.
On their debut, Sonic Fuel take the good old no-frills rock route, and deliver some great results too.
This was my first Feist album and it was an exceptional piece of art; full of raw emotion, minimalist production, and her incredibly layered voice. It was a surreal listen that left me floating through the ether and it's one of my favorites of the year thus far.
Check out our sit down with rising rock trio Beauty School Dropout, where we talk about their new singles "dying to be you" and "beautiful waste", touring with Blink-182 and Turnstile, the evolution of rock, Lil Uzi Vert, and more.
Thirty Seconds to Mars have apparently gone from assailing our senses with Deftones-level walls of sound to ooohhhhing and aaaahhhhing at us with, frankly, derivative tunes. A fairly straightforward EDM experience, but way less rock than there ought to be.
Barcelona's Blowfuse hit us with a new energetic single/video "Wish", a powerful, bouncing rock song wrapped in a funk exterior.
Brooklyn-based alt-artist Middle Part just unveiled his latest single, "Nowhere", a self-reflective song spawning from a moment of ego death.
Meatbodies are back with another psychedelic offering, titled "Billow," complete with a space-y Stone Roses-type groove.
Florence + The Machine have produced a superb song brimming with brilliant dynamics and depth here and it's a hard thing not to appreciate.
I'm not saying The Decemberists come off as gimmicky or overtly "hipster" but I have no problem imagining many of the songs here being played at a local renaissance fair or in the soundtrack to one of Wes Anderson's latest movies, and not in an ironic way either. But for as much as I found myself eye rolling, I found myself singing along, which in itself is the ultimate goal of music isn't it.
ERASE THEORY just released their sophomore EP, The Good Kind, packed full of emotionally devastating pop-rock.
When it first appeared on the charts in 1975, it reached No. 3. The main reason for the song's sudden rise seems to be due to its use in a new ad for Amazon Prime.
On this career-spanning 41-track collection, titled 'The Simian River Collection 1980 -2020', Weingarten presents all the staggering variety of the music he has created so far.
For the second year in a row the most talked about inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn't from rock, but rap; and for the second year in row there's a lot of bitching about whether or not hip-hop belongs. For a long time, I have been adamantly for it because classic hip-hop definitely shares that same spirit and feeling that birth rock and roll. But as it's grown and evolved as a genre it's become clearer than ever that it's time they cut the cord.
Alternative indie rock artist Honeycrush's new EP, 'The Drowning Room' is a space of suspended reality and tells a story of tragic love.
Indie-rock four-piece The Bedside Morale return with new single "Bitter Things", exploring themes of loneliness, deceptiveness and insecurity-led bad habits.
Voids was the first album I've heard from Minus The Bear and it was all very solid indie rock with some great guitar work that seamlessly blended their various elements to create some really compelling music.
"If the cops saw a busker playing music on the street they would make us go away or even beat us. Busking used to be seen as just a kind of begging. It was a low-class, haram thing to do. If you played music on the street people would assume you were very poor, maybe homeless..."
LA’s Purest Form is on a quest to set you free with their just release debut EP and new video for their single "Self Destruction."
On 'All That Should Have Been,' Night Wilds miraculously navigate through their 'theatrical' mixture with ease and purpose that sounds like their fifth or sixth, not their debut album.
Life Without Sound is full of that earnest, raw rock that I love so much. No songs aimed for pop stardom or arena anthems. Just a couple guitars, drums, and strong vocals. Just the way I like it.
