Ahead of their eagerly-awaited full-length album, Final Summer, which arrives on April 19 via Pure Noise Records, Cleveland’s Cloud Nothings has issued their latest single, “Silence.” Of the new release, guitarist/vocalist Dylan Baldi shares, “I wrote this song after reading that Samuel Alito’s Roe v. Wade opinion tried to justify banning abortion with quotes from a guy who literally burned women at the stake for being ‘witches’ in the 1600s. Like, how stupid do you have to be to think that a guy like that has said anything worth listening to at all? It’s wild that you can be a… Read more »
Hot Mulligan never stops making GREAT music. Well, that’s how it feels anyway with their new song, “Stickers Of Brian,” out via Wax Bodega Records. The dynamic track explores breaking the generational cycle of modern-day monotony, which the Michigan act is an expert at. A music video accompanies the release and is filled with absolute chaos in the workplace. It features male characters kissing everyone in a boardroom that starts to involve everyone in the vicinity. Vocalist Tades Sanville’s screams carry on behind this unraveling scene with lyrics, “Budgeting how long you’ll be alive/Why talk about it/If I’ve gotta hear… Read more »

Hungover is on the verge of the arrival of their eagerly-awaited sophomore album, When It Touches The Heart, Everything Resolves. The 11-track collection follows 2018’s acclaimed major label debut, Wilt. Across the new album, the three-piece unit emerges through a whirlwind of anthemic tracks, including their three previously released singles “Out Of Body,” “Shake It Off,” and “Reunion.” “When It Touches the Heart, Everything Resolves evolves the pop-forward rock sound we developed on WILT by exploring new sonic textures that call back to the artists that have informed us,” vocalist Marc Cortes shares of the three-piece’s new release. “You can… Read more »
Marking their first new music of 2024 and perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day, Loveless has unleashed their infectious new single, “Addicted.” And yes, yes we are. While the track explores emotional dependency culminating in addiction (“I lie to you again/She said is it gonna be alright?”), the accompanying music video depicts a life of lush luxury reined in by the group’s success. The portrayal sees vocalist/frontman Julian Comeau and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Tirapelli-Jamail indulge in a life of excess after signing away their artistry to a room of execs. Of course, the standout moment of the track is a seemingly subtle… Read more »

Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 9 at 10 AM local time. The spring run isn’t going to be the usual show set-up, though.

The flyer for it says it’ll be “An emotional musical journey designed to peel back the years and tears.” Their first LP, which boasts their single, “Niki FM,”… Read more »
Brooklyn-based artist Jhariah is back with a brand-new single “PIN-EYE.” Self-described as “NO GENRE, ALL DRAMA,” Jhariah draws inspiration from a wide array of acts including Dua Lipa and Remi Wolf all the way to Daft Punk and Gorillaz. Listeners may catch the jazzy, big band feel of a gospel choir à la Kirk Franklin, too. The wildly energetic melody unleashes a delicious barrage of belts, yearning choruses, and impressive falsetto. “Oh why do I beg my legs to take me/Much farther than they were meant to/I plead in vain these bleeding hands might reach for you,” Jhariah sings. Believe… Read more »
