Don’t be surprised if this one wins a Grammy. R&B singer-songwriter Victoria Monét emerged from a primarily behind-the-scenes role to become a genuine star with 2023’s Jaguar II. The album spawned a hit with “On My Mama” and led to Monét winning Best New Artist at the 2024 Grammys. She’s since released a deluxe edition…

Tuareg desert blues veterans Tinariwen have a world tour coming up, but it won’t come to North America because of the extremely fucked-up travel bans currently in place in the US. This shit sucks! The band’s new album Hoggar comes out next month. We already posted the album’s lead single, a take on the traditional…

The Ukrainian-born, London-based weirdo Theo Zhykharyev makes bugged-out synth-punk with his one-man project Powerplant, and his new album Bridge Of Sacrifice arrives next month. After sharing the title track, Powerplant has a new song, an eerie incantation called “The Fork.” “The Fork” starts out a little bit like what might happen if Mount Eerie tried…

Last November Rosalía released LUX, one of the Best Albums Of 2025. In March she’ll kick off a massive world tour in support of the album, but first, she’s releasing a dramatic video for its equally dramatic piano ballad “Sauvignon Blanc,” directed by Noah Dillon. Watch it below.

Every so often I’m reminded of Denzel Curry’s 2019 cover of “Bulls On Parade,” and I always appreciate when that happens. Case in point: The Florida rapper makes a guest appearance on “Hive Mind,” today’s new single from Kentucky metalcore torchbearers Knocked Loose. “This is something we’ve talked about doing for a long time,” says…

Sooner or later, you will have to form an opinion on Fcukers, the hedonistic and shameless dance-adjacent New York duo whose name has become synonymous with the term “indie sleaze.” Maybe you already have an opinion. If you’re enjoying that opinion, then go ahead, hold onto it. But if you’re still figuring it out, or…

Robber Robber recently announced their new album Two Wheels Move The Soul, and so far it’s sounding really, really good. The Vermont band shared another preview of what’s to come today with the single “Watch For Infection,” a portentious, driving post-punk jam about resisting the urge to succumb to a bad attitude. “Take care of…

Bad Bunny’s jersey said “Ocasio.” On Twitter, at least some handful of people got performatively upset about that. For months, these people had been ready for the Puerto Rican star to make a grandstanding political statement at the Super Bowl, and they thought that they saw it before the performance even started. At least some number of fuckheads just assumed that the jersey was an endorsement of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the right’s favorite punching bags. These people missed the most obvious fucking thing: It’s his name. Bad Bunny’s government name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. Duh.
