Coachella kicked off yesterday, with Sabrina Carpenter headlining and Slayyyter drawing a big crowd for her much-hyped new album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA. The night also had Turnstile’s first performance since former guitarist Brady Ebert was charged with attempted murder of Brendan Yates’ father. The set began with a recording of Yates’ father.

A new Purity Ring single? I’m not about to pass on that. As soon as Megan James’ voice beams into “lemonlime,” I’m locked in. It’s a long way from the eerie sound of Shrines, but there’s still something extraterrestrial about the way James’ voice moves amidst Corin Roddick’s synthetic computer-pop environment. They’re calling the sound…

Posters promoting a band called the Cockroaches have appeared around the north London neighborhood of Camden Town. The group is releasing a vinyl-only white label single called “Rough And Twisted” this Saturday, and they have a website where you can sign up for more info and buy a T-shirt that reads “WHO THE FUCK ARE THE COCKROACHES?” According to a new feature in the Times of London, it’s just the Rolling Stones in disguise, and all this is a warning shot for a new album dropping in July.

Isaiah Rashad is back among us. It’s been nearly five years since the elusive Chattanooga rap great released The House Is Burning, his most recent album.

Baltimore is a city full of vacant, decaying houses — places that could be real homes if the building and surrounding neighborhoods were properly rebuilt. That’s the subject of a new documentary called Saving Etting Street. The film, which is currently on the festival circuit, is about the efforts of Shelley Halstead, a carpenter who…

PinkPantheress’ Fancy That highlight “Stateside” has been getting a ton of play over the past few weeks since gold medalist figure skater Alysa Liu picked the Zara Larsson remix for her program at the Olympic Exhibition Gala back in February. Pink’s fellow Brit Arlo Parks recently stopped by the BBC Radio 1 live lounge, where she performed her own dreamy rendition of “Stateside” with a trio of synths, a guitar, and bass. The song simply must be sung with a British accent! Parks also performed “2SIDED,” the lead single to her newly-released album Ambiguous Desire. Listen to both songs below.

When we last heard from Skylar Spence last summer, the artist formerly known as Saint Pepsi was celebrating the 10th anniversary of his 2015 classic Prom King. Now it seems he’s adopted a forward-looking posture, at least partially. Spence shared a new 22-minute mix on YouTube and Bandcamp today called “Almost Butterflies.” It’s a fizzy,…
