Los Angeles’ Sextile have announced their new album today. It’s called yes, please. — stylistic period included — and it’s the electro-punks’ follow-up to 2023’s Push. Before the full thing arrives in May, the lead single “Freak Eyes” is out now.

In a few months, evilgiane will be performing alongside Oneohtrix Point Never, Nala Sinephro, Two Shell, and more at the inaugural C2C NYC Festival. The Surf Gang founder is getting ready by announcing a new album titled The Hurtless with fellow rapper Harto Falion.

Last week, Shannon Lay guested on the lovely Sean Solomon ballad “Car Crash.” Now, the Sub Pop artist is joining forces with Rob Shelton, Carly Bond, and Paul Spring for the gentle ditty “Friendship.”

Will Johnson has announced his 10th solo album, Diamond City. The Centro-matic frontman and member of Jason Isbell’s band the 400 Unit is sharing the lead single “Floodway Fall” today.

In the early ’80s, Oppenheimer Analysis released New Mexico as a cassette and it quickly became a collectible as the duo became synth pioneers. Since then, the album has had a few rereleases, including one in 2015 following the death of the band’s Martin Lloyd. Today, Avalon Emerson is sharing her appreciation for Oppenheimer Analysis with a cover of the LP opener “Don’t Be Seen With Me.”

On Friday (Feb. 14), Winter released Water Season, her collaborative EP with Philly’s Hooky. Today, the indie artist is guesting on the intriguing new Terraplana single “Hear A Whisper.”

A couple of weeks ago, Ozzy Osbourne made a huge announcement: He will reunite with the original Black Sabbath lineup for what will most likely be his final performance. The show is happening in the band’s Birmingham hometown this summer, and it will include performances from both Sabbath and solo Ozzy Osbourne. Those sets will headline an absolutely massive metal festival called Back To The Beginning, which will also feature performances from bands like Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantera, and Gojira, as well as appearances from other hard rock luminaries. Today, the festival gains two huge names, while Osbourne himself is working to temper expectations about what he’ll do in that final performance.

Even if you don’t know Kara DioGuardi’s name, but you likely know at least one song she’s written. Ashlee Simpson‘s “Pieces Of Me,” Gwen Stefani’s “Rich Girl,” and Christina Aguilera’s “Ain’t No Other Man” are just a few hits credited to her. The music biz veteran has certainly written some sad songs, but I don’t think she’s written any emo songs. And yet, she’s mistakenly credited as a writer on Football, Etc.’s most popular song “Safety” on Spotify.

The three sisters in Haim have never really gone away. They remain plenty visible in all sorts of big cultural moments. They just went to the Super Bowl with their friend Taylor Swift, for instance, which means they were all over the broadcast. They were also among the stars at this year’s Saturday Night Live 50th-anniversary festivities. But it’s been nearly five years since the release of Women In Music Pt. III, their most recent album. So Haim would like you to know that they are back.

After the recent wildfires devastated so much of Los Angeles, the city’s vast hardcore scene has been doing its part to raise money for the fires’ victims. On Grammy night a couple of weeks ago, an amazing slate of Los Angeles bands — God’s Hate, Rotting Out, Xibalba, Strife, Zulu, Downpresser, Watch You Fall, NY transplants H2O — played a giant benefit show at the Belasco. Now, one of the city’s newer bands is raising money and paying tribute to the city’s history with a new EP of covers, featuring a bunch of special guests.
