I wonder if psychedelic garage rock overlord John Dwyer can keep all of his projects straight in his mind. He definitely doesn’t make it easy for anyone else. Dwyer releases a lot of music under a lot of different names, and two of his projects, OSEES and Damaged Bug, have new tracks out today. OSEES,…

ME REX rang in 2026 with the new single “Angel Hammer,” which saw the playful London indie rockers go a slightly more experimental route. This week, they’re back with another one called “Protection Runes,” which is even more of a departure from the hook-heavy guitar pop ME REX have earned a strong reputation for. It’s…

Toronto-based producer Loukeman has been pretty lowkey since his last album, 2024’s Sd-2. Over the past couple years he’s worked with A$AP Rocky and PinkPantheress but hasn’t released anything solely his own. Today that changes. He’s returned with two new singles, “Elktorn” and “All I Could Think Of.” They’re both steely electronic music that makes…

Star Moles is the “sci-fi DIY wi-fi band” of Emily Moales, a New Hampshire native posted up in Philly.

Well, that didn’t last long. On Tuesday, Courtney Love posted an Instagram video of former Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur, setting it to Hole’s 1999 classic “Malibu.” Love captioned the post, “So do we tell the kids about the tour @xmadmx ?” Naturally, this led to plenty of speculation about a Hole reunion, a possibility that Love has alternately teased and refuted many times over the years. But now, Love herself is here to clarify things: “No Hole reunion.” Damn.

Right now, it appears that Compton club-music traveler Channel Tres is on a mission to pay tribute to all the best clubby R&B tracks of the early ’90s. I sincerely support him in this endeavor. A few months ago, Channel Tres released his take on the En Vogue classic “Free Your Mind.” Today, he drops…

For many years, Alex Edkins led the extremely sick Toronto noise-rock power trio METZ. Now, he’s half of the duo Noble Rot with Holy Fuck’s Graham Walsh, and he makes his own excellent power-pop jams under the name Weird Nightmare.
