In the hardcore word, the swagged-out, metallic San Diego band Mizery were omnipresent in the ’10s. They could pop up at any show and whip up some absolute chaos. It’s been nearly a decade since Mizery released Absolute Light, their sole full-length, and they haven’t put out any music since then. In 2023, drummer Cayle…

Modest Mouse’s very own cruise, Ice Cream Floats, is setting sail from Miami this Thursday. In preparation, the band is playing a pair of shows this week at the local venue ZeyZey. The first of those transpired Tuesday night, and it began with the first ever live performance of “March Into The Sea” from 2007’s We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, an album title that will hopefully not apply to Modest Mouse’s floating music festival.

It’s always funny when popular or semi-popular musicians appear as clues on Jeopardy!, and it’s even funnier when the contestants get stumped on questions that, at least to the members of the music-nerd community, seem way too easy. Clipse and Snail Mail figured into recent Jeopardy! episodes, and last night’s entry in the 2026 Tournament Of Champions was surprisingly heavy on indie-pop.

Mclusky have been on a great streak since reuniting in 2020. The Welsh post-hardcore band, who first broke up in 2005, released the world is still here and so are we last year, marking their first studio album in over two decades. Mclusky are still here, and today they’ve announced a six-song “mini album” called…

In a few weeks, the Oakland musician Maria BC will release their new album Marathon, and it’s shaping up to be a stunner. We’ve already posted the title track, and I’m just completely enraptured with “Night & Day,” the new song that they shared today. It’s a ghostly chiming reverie with fellow Bay Area musician…

It’s genuinely funny to release a new song called “Ring Of Fire” and have it not be a Johnny Cash cover. That’s what Big Thief guitarist Buck Meek just did. His song “Ring Of Fire” isn’t a cover, and it also isn’t a reference. It’s a vaguely countrified ramble with lyrics about “rock ‘n’ roll…

Last week, I did a long interview with Julia Steiner, leader of the truly kickass Chicago indie rock band Ratboys. I’d met Steiner once before, and I already knew she was a Steelers fan, so I made sure to put on a Lamar Jackson jersey before I jumped on the Zoom call. As soon as…

The Toronto musician Alex Edkins always has something going on. Up until recently, Edkins was the frontman of the great Toronto noise-rock power trio METZ. Last year, METZ reunited to perform on John Mulaney’s Netflix show even though they’d only just broken up. Edkins is also one half of the duo Noble Rot with Holy…

It’s been about a year and a half since Fleet Foxes played their last live show, and as far as we know, they don’t have any immediate plans for more, though they did recently release an Elliott Smith cover. But main Fleet Fox Robin Pecknold occasionally plays solo-acoustic gigs, like the 2024 New York gig where he covered Joni Mitchell, Karen Dalton, and Arthur Russell, among others. Later this year, Pecknold will embark on a brief solo-acoustic tour.

Poison Ruïn are back. The medieval-minded metallic punks have announced the follow-up to 2024’s Confrere today. It’s called Hymns From The Hills, and it’s due at the top of April on Relapse. We’re told the album features ambient interludes inspired by the likes of Scott Walker and the Durutti Column in between the bursts of…
