Recording and performing under the name 1-800-MIKEY, Sydney’s Michael Barker (also of Gee Tee and RMFC) is on the poppier end of the vital Australian punk/garage rock scene. He announced In Yun, his new album for Goner Records, a few weeks back with the release of lead single “Me And My Only,” a lo-fi power-pop heater that dares to imagine what the Buzzcocks might sound like with Thin Lizzy riffs. He’s back today with another gem.

When not cranking out new Guided By Voices albums at an impossible clip, American lo-fi rock ‘n’ roll hero Robert Pollard also creates music under alternate guises. As of two years ago, those ventures include Rip Van Winkle, a new band that aligns Pollard with a cast of Dayton-based musicians entirely separate from the dudes that fill out GBV’s current lineup. Rip Van Winkle first emerged in 2024 with an EP called The Grand Rapids, then followed it up with their full-length debut Blasphemy in 2025. Now they’ve got a second album on the way under a slightly altered band name.

Guitarist Stephen Egerton joined the Descendents, the great California hardcore punk band, in 1986, just before that band broke up. When the Descendents were no more, Egerton played in the offshoot All, and then he rejoined the Descendents when that band reunited in 1996. Egerton has been in the band ever since, and he has also produced other acts at his home studio in Tulsa. Last year, he joined Hanson at Riot Fest and helped out on their Descendents cover. Now, Egerton is getting ready to release his first-ever solo album, and it sounds nothing like the Descendents.

Last month, Jess Williamson announced her new album A Mile South Of Heaven and shared the poignant lead single “Goodbye To All That.” Now, the country-folk artist is back with another charming, pedal steel-adorned beaut called “Tracking The Tropics.”

Lily Seabird has been blowing us away with her Lightspheres On Their Way singles. Since last year’s Trash Mountain, the Burlington singer-songwriter has been leaning into loudness with “Election Day” and “Portal To The Past,” but she’s returning to a mellow acoustic sound with today’s offering “The Afterglow,” which was partly inspired by the death of folk legend Michael Hurley.

You know that scene from Trainspotting where Ewan MacGregor’s Renton finds himself at a dance club, getting his mind blown by a techno anthem and considering the idea that maybe the world can change in good ways? “One thousand years from now, there’ll be no guys and girls, just wankers. Sounds great to me.” That’s how I feel when I hit play on “Rolling Face,” the dizzily booming new single from the Leeds dance-punk crew Adult DVD.
