Frank Carter Curses Out Man Who Crashed Women-Only Sex Pistols Mosh Pit

This is the world we live in: there’s always one asshole. There’s always one person who’s holding the world back from peace or equality or common human decency and universal respect. On Friday, that one asshole existed at the Sex Pistols gig, featuring Frank Carter, at Denver, CO’s Ogden Theatre, who had a problem with a women-centric mosh pit.

Rosalía Brings Lux To SNL, Appears In Sketch About Jelly Roll Playing Sphere

Last night (Oct. 10), Rosalía was the musical guest with Shane Gillis as host on SNL. It was nice to see the angelic pop star return; she last performed on the show in March 2022 and joined Bad Bunny’s performance in 2021. She sang “Reliquia” and “Magnolias” from her excellent 2025 album Lux. Both were absolutely stunning; she sang the former en pointe and the latter under rain (which is on trend).

MJ Lenderman Debuts New Music At Good Moon Festival

MJ Lenderman played his first concert in five months in Durham, NC last night. His joint performances with Waxahatchee ran through May and the following month he dropped off Zach Bryan’s tour for a well-deserved break, though he did play with Wednesday bandmate Karly Hartzman and Brad Cook at Tracey Nelson’s popup show in the same city in July.

Geordie Greep Cancels US Tour Following Sexual Misconduct Allegation

On Thursday (Oct. 8), Geordie Greep was accused of sexual assault via flyers handed out to fans outside his Vancouver show. The flyers claimed he was a rapist and read, “You know what you did this morning Oct 8th.” His performance was delayed almost two hours and he played an abbreviated set without his band after making a statement. Now, Greep has canceled the rest of his US tour dates.

Katie Dey Announces New Album universal will: Hear “for you”

Unless you count last year’s rarities collection, it’s been three years since the Melbourne digital pop auteur Katie Dey released her last album, never falter hero girl. That streak is about to end. In just four weeks, Dey will drop her new LP universal will. There’s not a lot of info about the project on Bandcamp, Instagram, or her official website, but opening track “for you” is out now, and it’s a stunner.

Rocketship Announce New Album Hurt Feelings: Hear “New Threats”

Portland indie-pop veterans Rocketship recently reissued their essential 1996 album A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness for its 30th anniversary and reunited for their first tour in eight years. This is not a strictly nostalgic enterprise, though. Rocketship have a new album called Hurt Feelings on the way, and its lead single maintains the band’s standard of excellence. “New Threats” (not from the soul, AFAIK) is a dreamy and sophisticated update on the band’s classic style, steering their fuzzed-out and demure guitar pop in an eclectic direction that reminds me of ’90s contemporaries from Stereolab to Olivia Tremor Control. Whisper along to it below.

Virga – “Perception Management” & “Impassable Monolith II”

I’d never heard of the Lawrence, Kansas trio Virga before they got booked to open the first leg of Chat Pile and Soul Glo’s current North American tour, but I’m very glad that I smashed “subscribe” on their Bandcamp. (They’ve only got two more dates on that tour, by the way — tonight in Houston and tomorrow in Dallas — before Shallowater take their spot.) Virga have been around since 2022, and they’ve got three EPs to their name, the most recent of which is this year’s The Perfect Freedom Of Single Necessity. Today, they’ve got two new songs that really knocked me on my ass.
