Straddling the boundary between discordance and serenity, Rude Films contrast light and dark to craft alt-rock that is foreboding yet hopeful. Since 2018, they’ve occupied the dank mills of Manchester, heavily inspired by their precursors but determined to carve out their own sound. With a shared love of guitar pedals, they blend elements of shoegaze, […]

Iron & Wine, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Sam Beam, will release their eighth full-length album and sixth for Sub Pop, entitled Hen’s Teeth, worldwide on February 27th.  Hen’s Teeth arrives fully formed but sits as a sibling record, of sorts, to 2024’s acclaimed and Grammy-nominated Light Verse. Its seeds were sewn during the multiple sessions done over […]

Buck Meek has announced his new album, The Mirror, will be out February 27th via 4AD, and has just shared its lead single & video, “Gasoline.” On The Mirror, love, as an idea, is always close—but in its reflection comes an afterimage of the way things could be and how they’ve been before. Meek holds the absurdity of devotion, the choice […]

Blake Christiana, founding member of Yarn, has spent two decades chasing the perfect song—crafting a catalog that spans country shuffles, folk ballads, and rock-tinged roots music.

Frank Viele has carved out his own lane in New England’s music landscape, blending blues, folk, and heartland rock into a sound that hits with both grit and grace.

Third Man Records has announced the first-ever live anthology from Ann Arbor, MI-based noise rock legends, Laughing Hyenas. That Girl – Live Recordings 1986-1994 collects 18 ferocious tracks – painstakingly compiled by founding member John Brannon from his personal archive of cassette tapes and then transferred, mixed, and mastered by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Bobby Emmett (Sturgill Simpson, Jack […]

With chance pre-pandemic email exchanges being their first contact in nearly 30 years, dispersed former bandmates Rob, Tony & Nigel began developing musical ideas while trying to figure out how to coax reasonably sounding productions from their ancient MacBooks. Eventually, someone suggested that talking to each other could be useful. Nearly four years later, the […]

Burgeoning Dutch alt-rockers GUNMOLL enchant their striking brand of rock with the temptation, danger, and magnetism of the most blood-curdling crime novels. The band, featuring Jolien Grunberg (vocals/guitar), Bram Bol (guitar/production), Koen van Bemmelen (bass), and Pim de Roij (drums), paints stories of romance, betrayal, surging adrenaline, and anthemic tension, partly anchored in Jolien’s Romanian […]

Continuing our salute to industrial icons Ministry this week, for today’s Tuesday’s Gone, we’re throwing it back to the band’s often forgotten pre-metal days with this rad video for “Over the Shoulder” from 1986. Released as the lead single from their somewhat unheralded Twitch album, this propulsive beat-heavy track may not sport the decidedly harsh […]

2025 is officially in our rearview mirror, and now that the season of “Best Of” lists is formally closed, the only way to look is forward. While the previous year provided us with a cornucopia of exhilarating albums from some generational talent, 2026 is already gearing up to be a fruitful year of fresh releases. […]

Film criticism teaches you to see what others miss. It’s not just about liking or disliking movies. It’s about understanding how visual storytelling works. Media students who develop critical analysis skills stand out. They can break down why a scene works. They spot editing choices that create emotion. They understand how sound design shapes viewer […]

Film studies don’t show old movies just because they’re famous. These films teach specific lessons about how cinema works. You learn to spot techniques that shaped everything you watch today. Classic films show you where modern movies come from. That tracking shot in your favorite action film? Directors were doing that in the 1950s. Once […]

Meredith Moon’s third album, From Here To The Sea, marks a subtle but confident evolution for the Canadian-born songwriter and instrumentalist. Where its predecessor, Constellations, leaned deeply into Appalachian old-time traditions, From Here To The Sea widens the frame—embracing blues, folk, folk-rock, and even traces of old-time jazz, while placing Moon’s songwriting firmly at the […]

Most people hear classic albums one song at a time, without the liner notes or historical context, or even other accompanying tracks. Reissues exist because that kind of listening strips albums of how and why they were made. Some reissues are a cut above […]

A casino never feels silent. Most people notice the lights first, then the machines, then the movement. Music usually comes last, if it registers at all. Yet it holds everything together. It fills the gaps between noise and anticipation, shaping how the space feels long before anyone thinks about why. Understanding the Basics of Music […]

Digital culture has always moved quickly, but the shifts happening recently feel unusually deep. Independent artists, musicians, and storytellers are building their own ecosystems rather than waiting for traditional platforms to recognise them. Audiences are discovering work through unexpected spaces, and the mood is less about chasing virality and more about finding communities that actually […]
