Last summer, the members of the 1975 were hit with a $2.4 million lawsuit from Future Sound Asia, the organizers behind Malaysia’s Good Vibes Festival. The suit stemmed from an onstage kiss between frontman Matty Healy and bassist Ross MacDonald during the band’s 2023 headlining set, which they did in an effort to protest Malaysia’s very restrictive anti-homosexuality laws. The 1975’s set got cut about 45 minutes short, the rest of the festival was cancelled, and Good Vibes’ license was immediately revoked. Now, a London judge has ruled that the 1975 cannot be held liable, the AP reports.

The plucky and prolific Welsh band the Bug Club made the leap to Sub Pop for last year’s On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System. Today they’re back with an apparent one-off dedicated to their homeland. “Have U Ever Been 2 Wales” is a fine introduction to the (ahem) buzzy indie duo, full of piercing hooks and anxious energy. Listen below.

There’s a new supergroup in town. Welcome Demise Of Love, the project of British musicians Daniel Avery, Ghost Culture (James Greenwood), and Working Men’s Club (Sydney Minsky Sargeant).

Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy are currently on the road performing R.E.M.’s 1985 album Fables Of The Reconstruction in its entirety, about a year after they wrapped up a tour covering the band’s Murmur. On that first tour, during Shannon and Narducy’s show in R.E.M.’s Athens, Georgia hometown, they somehow got all four members of R.E.M. onstage with them, resulting in their first reunion in 17 years. Shannon and Narducy played in Portland, Oregon on Saturday night, and R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck and their touring guitarist Scott McCaughey once again hopped on stage with them.
