After premiering “Make It Easy” on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Cage The Elephant have officially released it as a single. And that’s not all…the indie rockers announced their new album Dying In Reverse is coming out on Feb. 5, via Big Loud Rock. Frontman Matthew Shultz says of the LP, “This record’s turned out to be such a special one for us. Without doubt, one of the most creatively gratifying experiences we’ve had as a group yet. After all these years already remaining so tightly knit, it really does feel like this album managed to pull us even closer together.” He… Read more »
senses has finally returned with their new single “patterns,” out via Hopeless Records. This offering is preceded by their 2025 EP onto something, as well as their cover of Simple Plan‘s “Perfect.” The duo says of the track, “’Patterns’ is very much a song of self-awareness and discovery. It explores the process of understanding how your brain works, and knowing that it can often feel all over the place and hard to control. This feeling is really emphasized by the dramatic sonic changes throughout, taking you through the experience of feeling stuck in these pre-existing patterns, and how it feels… Read more »

Frontman Taylor Barber says, “The album reactions have been exceeding my expectations. I’m so grateful to everyone spinning the songs and posting them so I can see what they think.

The Hails are tackling a major issue on their new track “Ducks On The Pond.” That issue? Online gambling. From mobile sports betting apps to prediction markets, people are getting dopamine hits from playing on their phones and avoiding the casino entirely…sigh. Lead singer Robbie Kingsely shares of the song and its lyrics: “‘All my people want submission, come on people be submissive’ is a sarcastic attack on the modern psyche of people, particularly young men, who willingly dive into the pitfalls of online gambling. As we observe our generation and the ones coming up, it’s glaringly obvious that no… Read more »
Ahead of the release of their debut album What’s In Between, arriving on October 30, via Atlantic Records, Radio Free Alice has revealed, perhaps, the best indie collab of the whole year. The Australian act tapped Water From Your Eyes‘ Rachel Brown for the new track, “Big Ideas.” Frontman Noah Learmonth says, “From early on we felt that a second vocal would work well with the song, a kind of call and response. We had loved Water From Your Eyes for years, and had gone to their show when they came to Melbourne. We felt like Rachel would be perfect,… Read more »
Moody Joody refuses to settle for just an “Avergae Joe” on their new track, which is slated to appear on their highly anticipated debut album Plain Jane, due out on October 30 via Photo Finish Records. Triumphant and utterly relatable, “Average Joe” is preceded by singles, including “Fantasyland,” “Loretta’s Last Call,” and “Little Blue House.” Co-lead vocalist Kaitie Forbes says, “‘Average Joe’ has become one of my favorite moments on the album. It leans into the toxic cycles I went through in my twenties of falling for unavailable, performative men. Before I learned the signs of love bombing, and when… Read more »
XCOMM is giving new life to the hardcore punk genre one insane live performance at a time, and today they prove their vigor with their “Pirates” idobi Session. XCOMM is the most interesting new band to come out of the last year. Comprised of five members ranging in age from fourteen to twenty years old, you’d never be able to guess that unless you saw them. Even then, it only makes their talent and grit all the more impressive. The hardcore scene desperately needed new sounds, voices, and verve, and XCOMM is kicking the doors down with a new wave… Read more »
Best Ex, aka Mariel Loveland, just launched the title track for her forthcoming album, Good Girl, due out on November 6, via Iodine Recordings. Preceded by “Is This It?” and “Sick Of Myself,” “Good Girl” uniquely explores the boxes most women and girls are pushed down into through summery pop sonics. Loveland says, “It’s strange how often women are defined by who they belong to instead of who they are. We’re so often viewed through the lens of being someone’s daughter, wife, or mother, rather than simply existing as ourselves. I wanted to write a song that pushed back against that… Read more »
