Gel have broken up. The New Jersey hardcore outfit posted a statement to social media today accusing former guitarist Anthony Webster of “heinous acts” that led to “irreparable damage to the band.”

Last month, Philly’s Fib announced their debut album Heavy Lifting and unveiled the bizarro single “Mutuals.” Today, the indie rock crew is back with “PS.”

Last month, Esther Rose announced her new album Want. The country/folk singer-songwriter released the lead single “New Bad” with a music video directed by Anna Marie Tendler, and today she’s back with “Had To,” a banger about drinking, which she quit doing while making this record.

Last year, duendita released their 20-minute EP the mind is a miracle. Today, the New York band is announcing their new project a strong desire to survive. The lead single “baby teeth” is out now.

We are truly blessed. Montreal’s Men I Trust are releasing two new albums this year, and the first one is out now. Equus Asinus is 14 tracks long and it’s got their meditative, dazed magic.

Lindstrøm is back. The Norwegian producer’s last album was 2023’s Everyone Else Is A Stranger, and today he’s announcing its follow-up, Sirius Syntoms. The lead single “Cirkl” is sort of out now.

As a performer, crowdsurfing is a gamble. Pop fans specifically are not great at holding up bodies — look at Matty Healy or girl in red’s attempts. On Sunday (March 16), no one caught the Dare when he jumped in the crowd at his Bristol gig.

Matty Matheson seems like a cool guy. He’s a longtime restauranteur who became a minor celebrity chef and then made it big when he was cast as Neil Fak in FX’s restaurant-set dramedy The Bear. Like a lot of characters on that show, Neil is loud, but turns out he can get even louder. He’s the vocalist of a new hardcore band called Pig Pen.

Last week news broke that Radiohead — who, as a group, have stayed mostly dormant over the past few years — created a new business entity, a limited liability partnership, called RHEUK25 LLP. Historically, a new LLP is a good sign that Radiohead are up to something, though it remains unannounced what that thing might be. One smart Stereogum commenter pointed out that the LLP’s name could be an acronym for “Radiohead Europe UK 25,” or shorthand for a 2025 EU/UK tour. Now we have some more telling evidence that a tour might really be in the works.

A jukebox musical featuring the music of James Taylor is currently in development. Fire & Rain, named after the singer-songwriter’s famous 1970 song, was announced today, and the story is by playwright and actor Tracy Letts.
