The Mr. Bungle reunion has been in full swing since 2020. There have been some bumps, like when Mike Patton had to cancel for mental health reasons and when he tried to take out a drone at Knotfest Chile. But they’ve been having fun and even covering Grease songs. On Thursday, the band pleased audiences in Zapopan, Mexico by (partially) performing “Retrovertigo” for the first time since 2000.

The Beaches had fun on their latest album, last year’s No Hard Feelings. Now, the quartet is having even more fun by covering A Flock Of Seagull’s 1982 hit “I Ran (So Far Away),” a true new wave banger and one of my favorite songs to put on at the bar. Their take is true…

Last year, the Waterboys released Life, Death And Dennis Hopper, 25 songs about the late Hollywood icon featuring Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple, Steve Earle, and more. The longstanding project of Mike Scott returned last month with a new b-sides LP containing 16 more songs about Dennis Hopper, and it had R. Crumb-ripoff AI-generated cover art. One of the singles also came with an AI-generated music video, and backlash ensued.

Three days into January, Morrissey’s 2026 started with the first slate of what promise to be many show cancellations this year, as has become the former Smiths singer’s custom. But it seemed like things were actually picking up for Moz this time. After years of scrapped gigs and aborted album launches, this month he’s actually managed to share the lead single from new LP Make-Up Is A Lie and gotten back onstage.

The LA band Host Family makes a noisy version of indie pop that sounds like every cool underground band from the ’80s put together.

“When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die” dates all the way back to before Moby became a TRL-grade household name with Play.
