You guys like Iron? How about Wine? Yeah, me too. Well, good news. In a few weeks, indie-folk OG Sam Beam, better known to the world at large as Iron & Wine, will release his new album Hen’s Teeth. We’ve already posted the I’m With Her collab “Robin’s Egg” and the official lead single “In…

I’m With Her are awfully busy right now. Last year, the folk trio released their sophomore album Wild And Clear And Blue and appeared on Iron & Wine’s single “Robin’s Egg.” They’ve got another collab on the upcoming Iron & Wine album Hen’s Teeth. On Sunday night, I’m With Her won two Grammy Awards, for Best Folk Album and Best American Roots Performance. Here, look!

Last month, famous rock climber Alex Honnold scaled the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan without any ropes or equipment. It was the highest free solo climb of an urban structure in history (1,667 ft) and it was livestreamed on Netflix. It was noted that he was listening to a lot of Tool during the ascent, and now he’s shared the playlist he was streaming.

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…
