Following the release of “pinky boy” in August, ratbag calls out bummer boyfriends with “pinky girl.” Backed by horns, bells and strings, the singer remarks on men in heterosexual relationships who don’t even do the bare minimum. “Half the time men are oblivious to how great their girlfriends are,” ratbag says. “Sometimes when I see half-decent men with their really cool girlfriends, I just wanna shake them and force their eyelids open.”
Dark Devine — “Cold (Cinematic)”
For fans of dramatic movement pieces where the dancers are constantly pulled apart.
Dark Devine dropped a cinematic version of “Cold,” featured on the deluxe version of Deadly Fun. Just as vocally haunting as its predecessor, the track is driven by lilting piano progressions and echoing instrumentals. The deluxe LP is available now via Thriller Records.

With the release of their latest EP Whatever The Weather, Mouth Culture also shared the music video for “No Shame.” “Everyone’s got that friend who has a few and then says way more than they should,” the band says. “Some people go through life being that friend. It felt good to vent about it over an instrumental that was inspired by seminal bands like Refused.” Mouth Culture have several back-to-back runs in Europe this fall, including several headline shows and a tour with You Me At Six.
