Watch Franz Ferdinand Cover Amyl And The Sniffers For Like A Version

Franz Ferdinand released their most recent album The Human Fear about a year ago, and they’ve used the intervening time to remind us that they can make anything sound like a Franz Ferdinand song. Recently, they’ve covered Chappell Roan, Britney Spears, and the Smiths (with Johnny Marr). More recently, they visited Australia and paid tribute to their host country with an Amyl And The Sniffers cover.

Belgrado Announce New EP El Encuentro: Hear “Bezsenność”

Three years ago, a Barcelona band called Belgrado released an album called Intra Apogeum on the international DIY punk label La Vida Es Un Mus, and we thought it was cool as hell.

Roc Marciano Releases Excellent New Self-Titled Album 656

Roc Marciano makes the same album over and over again, and this is a good thing. Marci was already a veteran who’d been through the music-business wringer when he released his 2010 solo debut Marcberg, the album that basically invented a whole new strain of underground rap. On that record, Marci muttered free-associate fly shit…

Nature, Nurture, & DJ-Kicks: For Eris Drew, This Is 50

Eris Drew has become so intrinsic to the electronic circuit, one could be forgiven for thinking she had been a full-time artist for decades. She enjoyed futuristic television scores in the 1970s, so her grandmother gifted her a synthesizer. In the third grade, she moved to the Windy City. “I grew up in that world of industrial and house and rave that was swirling around Chicago in the late ’80s and early ’90s,” Drew remembers over Zoom. A PBS poster and crate of 12-inches are perched behind her. After attending her first club at the age of 14, she began to collect LPs and learn mixing.

Worm – “Witchmoon: The Infernal Masquerade” (Feat. Marty Friedman)

In just a few weeks, the freakdy-deaky, theatrical Miami underground metal duo Worm will release their new album Necropalace, and I fully expect it to rule. But we’ve already got an album’s worth of new Worm music, since their three pre-release singles already include more than half an hour of music. We’ve already posted the…
