Upchuck are back with another ripper. The Atlanta punk crew announced their new Ty Segall-produced album I’m Nice Now last month, and “Plastic,” “Forgotten Token,” and “Un Momento” have served as electric previews. Now they’re unleashing “Tired.”

Denver’s Broken Record impressed us with their 2023 album Nothing Moves Me, and today the band announced its followup called Routine. The phenomenal lead single “T-60” is out now.

It’s a fucking tragedy, and I’m going to run through it right now as a personal lament. But first, the short version: Charles Bissell of the Wrens says we should not expect any new music from his post-Wrens project Car Colors. Gah!

In The Alternative Number Ones, I’m reviewing every #1 single in the history of the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks/Alternative Songs, starting with the moment that the chart launched in 1988. This column is a companion piece to The Number Ones, and it’s for members only. Thank you to everyone who’s helping to keep Stereogum afloat.

fish narc kicked off the year with the release of his latest album frog song, which was impressive enough to land on our list of the best albums of the year so far. Lucky for us, the indie rocker and GothBoiClique member is already back with a new tune called “make it softer.”

A Wizard Of Oz remake called Dorothy is in development at Prime Video, and Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are producers. Per Deadline, the series is directed by Gina Matthews and will be a modern, music-infused version.

Over the weekend, Cradle Of Filth vocalist and keyboardist Zoë M. Federoff announced she was leaving the band in the middle of their tour. Today, her husband/the group’s guitarist Marek “Ashok” Šmerda exited as well.

New Geese, baby! In exactly one month, the berserk New York band will follow up their 2023 album 3D Country with a rabidly anticipated new one called Getting Killed. People are fired up for this one, with good reason. Frontman Cameron Winter’s solo album Heavy Metal was a cult sensation last year, and the advance singles “Taxes” and “Trinidad” have been absolute fucking wild and wooly bangers. The same is true of “100 Horses,” the new Geese track that hits the internet today.

Some believe we’re put on this Earth to do God’s work. If you’re Portuguese priest and DJ Guilherme Peixoto, that comes in the form of a giant bass drop. Peixoto uses his powers as a DJ and experience as a priest to spread faith and love. Recently, he’s gone viral for transforming the Super Mario Bros. soundtrack with a gummy bass drop at the Medusa Festival in Cullera, Valencia earlier this month.
