The nerds are on the Beast Coast and ready for action! We went to a couple dispensaries on the east coast, caught up with old friends and smoked our way through the weekend and we can’t wait to tell you all about it! We start in NYC at The Travel Agency and then head over to Cookies Harrison, and our bounty is abundant. The NYC market is poppin’, and we are super stoked about it. The good news ends there though, because we have some Glasshouse and Off The Charts stories to go over, it can’t all be sunshine and medicated lollipops! But don’t panic! It’s organic!
ERRA has dropped a music video for their latest single, “Blue Reverie,” from their upcoming album, CURE. The LP will arrive on April 5 via UNFD. The music video takes place in a similar landscape to their previous single release. Staying in the same world works in favor of the act to further emphasize the environmental messaging they want to give to fans. The band plays in an abandoned home with large, dirty windows that are slightly illuminated. It illustrates the lyrics in the chorus through their mise-en-scène, “Get me back home to hide away/Hide away/Slip back into my silhouette.”… Read more »
Ashnikko is genre-bending royalty, supercharging their debut album Weedkiller with punchy singles such as “Cheerleader” and the sunny groove “Worms.” Standout single “You Make Me Sick!” kicked off the entire Weedkiller era, and it was unforgettable. Raw, aggressive screams narrate pure unadulterated rage, and help listeners who relate channel their own anger. With her signature indie pop glow, Dora Jar teamed up with Ashnikko to add a new layer to this blistering track with the “You Make Me Sick! (Dora Jar Remix).” Dora Jar “peeled back the thorny parts of it to show the sad guy behind the screaming and… Read more »

Dayseeker is stripping down their sound on their upcoming acoustic album, Replica. With the album announcement, they also dropped a reimagined version of“Burial Plot” featuring Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo.

While Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift probably don’t have these bands on their Super Bowl playlist, we sure do. Here are some of our favorite acts that channel their jock side through sports-related band names.
