Dry Cleaning will kick off 2026 with the release of their third album Secret Love. We’ve heard “Hit My Head All Day” and “Cruise Ship Designer,” and today the post-punks are sharing the sprawling spoken-word flourish “Let Me Grow And You’ll See The Fruit” along with some sad news. The group was supposed to be…

Warmer Than Gold, the new album from Guv (fka Young Guv), is arriving next month. Ben Cook announced the return of his power-pop band with the lead single “Let Your Hands Go,” and today he’s back with the album’s title track. Cook has evidently been aiming for a psychedelic Britpop inspired on this record, and…

In 2022, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones broke up. The band never confirmed it, but it sure seemed like the breakup was a response to frontman Dicky Barrett being loudly anti-vaccine. Just before the breakup, Barrett recorded a song for a Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. anti-vaxxer rally. He also parted ways with Jimmy Kimmel Live!, after 18 years as the show’s announcer. Barrett started a new band called the Defiant with former members of groups like the Offspring. Apparently, he’s still welcome in Boston hardcore circles, since he joined Haywire at Boston’s FTC Fest on Sunday night.

The ambitious young Michigan-founded Band To Watch Racing Mount Pleasant impressed a lot of us with their self-titled album this year, their second overall and first since changing their name from Kingfisher. Personally, I’m eager to hear more songs from the emo/post-rock combo, and fortunately it sounds like new music is practically falling out of them. Closing out their tour at Ann Arbor’s Power Center for the Performing Arts, RMP debuted a new song that, per the unofficial Instagram fan account @rmpupdates, “was literally written in the green room before the show,” a slow-burn mood piece with the requisite sax action. Seems like they’re on to something…

Perhaps you’ve head the news that Shirley Manson does not want beach balls at Garbage shows or anywhere near her ever. In a moment that’s now gone viral from the band’s set at Melbourne’s Good Things festival last week, Manson angrily cussed out a man in the audience for throwing around a beach ball in what we can only assume was a rather distracting manner. Manson later clarified on Threads: “I joined a band because I HATED THE FUCKING BEACH. I joined a band because I wanted to listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Cure and be dark and beautiful.”

In addition to putting out his own great new album Baby over the summer, Dijon also worked on two Grammy-nominated albums in 2025: Justin Bieber’s Swag and Bon Iver’s SABLE, fABLE. People are digging the Dijon sound, but it takes a lot of people to replicate that sound live! Dijon made his SNL debut last night as musical guest, and as he teased ahead of the episode, his performance featured a massive band with some familiar faces.

Who are the Crying Nudes? It’s complicated. The band has been releasing music since 2023, and we know it’s a side project of Dean Blunt’s. Wikipedia says it’s him and Fine Glindvad, the Copenhagen musician who released a bunch of beautiful dream-pop tunes this year. Reddit threads claim British producer Vegyn is also in the…

Reid is a 19-year-old UK electronic artist with only a few songs under his belt, but they’re real bangers. “pull up” is a hot, hazy earworm; “addict” is a twitchy, infectious club anthem. He’s got the sultry voice of 2hollis, the ecstatic beats of fakemink, and the clubby atmosphere of Sipper. Now he’s back with…
