I always wonder about the acts who release multiple self-titled albums, the Peter Gabriels and Weezers and Rancids and American Footballs of the world. That must take a whole lot of self-confidence, right? Or maybe it’s just a willingness to confuse your audience. Perhaps those two things are the same thing. Much to think about. Anyway, we can now add Philadelphian post-metal churners Bruise Bath to that list.

Modest Mouse guitarist Simon O’Connor has been accused of sending inappropriate messages to a minor. The allegations were made over the weekend on Reddit with screenshots showing the musician sending a sexually explicit meme and a suggestive message about the 16-year-old fan’s “bikini pics.” He has since acknowledged the allegations, saying he had mistaken the account for someone else.

To sign to Exploding In Sound, you need to have a memorable one-word band name, like Jobber or Ovlov or Stuck. The great indie label’s newest signees, Bimbo, fit the bill. Hailing from Marquette, MI, Bimbo describe themselves as “if the White Stripes were evil, couldn’t write a song in 4/4, and were actually bother and sister.” Today they’re announcing their debut album The Bimbonacci Sequence.

You could really just rearrange the four words in this blog post’s headline in any way that you might want. “Shit Dog – ‘Fat Love’.” “Dog Love – ‘Fat Shit’.” “Fat Dog Shit – ‘Love’.” They all sound pretty interesting! But those other ones aren’t real. Instead, this blog post is about Fat Dog, the noisy British dance-punk-ish band, and their new song “Shit Love.”

The great singer-songwriters Madi Diaz and Lucy Dacus just had a big weekend together at the Newport Folk Festival. Diaz and Dacus both performed at Newport, and Dacus did a guest-heavy set that included appearances from Hayley Williams, Brandon Flowers, and — hey, look at that — Madi Diaz. Williams played her own guest-heavy set, and Diaz and Dacus both joined her separately — Diaz on “Find Me Here,” Dacus on “Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris.” Today, Diaz shares a new version of her song “Heavy Metal” that she recorded as a duet with Dacus.

In his later years, Nashville-based outlaw country legend Chris Gantry has experienced a resurgence with assistance from the community surrounding Chicago indie fixture Drag City Records. In 2017, Drag City reissued Gantry’s lost album At The House Of Cash. In 2019, we shared “Box Of Crayons,” his Bill Callahan collab from the Jerry David DeCicca-produced Nashlantis. He’s since released The Outlaw Bible on Steadyboy Records, and this year he’ll return with Worth Every Nail on Appalachia Record Co.

A. G. Cook has been silently dominating 2026. The producer has had his hand in a bunch of major projects this year, including working with best pal Charli XCX for the soundtrack of A24 film and pop mockumentary The Moment and then her thought-provoking seventh studio album Music, Fashion, Film (which features a tribute to him, “Magic Metal Montana”). He also reissued music he worked on with Danny L Harle from their project Dux Content. Now he’s continuing his stellar streak of collaborations. Yesterday, shoegaze group Diiv announced their Frog In Boiling Water followup is called ZIRP! and is produced by Cook. It’s coming out Oct. 30.
