Gomer is a project originally created by Tate Iverson upon his move to Los Angeles in 2023. Faced with sky-high rent, gutter low wages, and a distinct lack of creative outlets, he sought to chronicle his experiences in a desperate bid to stave off the side effects of what some may call rock bottom. Now, […]

Aaron Lee Tasjan has always written like someone with a point to prove, but on Get Over It, Underdog (Blue Élan Records), out July 17, that restless energy sharpens into something more deliberate. The Grammy-nominated songwriter leans further into the tension that’s long defined his work—balancing sharply observed social commentary with a deeply personal, almost […]

Two-Man Giant Squid have been on a prolific streak since they debuted back in 2022. With their debut project, Abyssal Gigantism, arriving that same year, the Brooklyn-bred post-punk outfit established a far-reaching sound that was stretched even further on 2023’s Intro To Basement. After cementing their place in the burgeoning post-punk scene with their 2025 […]

Todd Mosby is an award-winning composer, guitarist, and inventor based in St. Louis, Missouri. Mosby is known for his genre-defying musical language, where he layers jazz, folk, New Age, blues, rock, bossa nova, and North Indian classical music into richly textured soundscapes that reflect both depth and technical mastery. Over the course of his career, […]

“So many tragedies seemed to shape this record. In the middle of our second recording session, Michael Nussbaum finished his drum parts and went on a paragliding trip, during which he had a near-fatal 100-foot fall that broke his back. My Dad suffered from kidney failure and was put on dialysis, the world descended into […]

“Bring Me Coffee or Tea” stands as one of the more subtly strange entries in Can’s catalog—not for any wild experimentation, but for how disarmingly normal it might sound. Coming off the jagged funk and forward momentum of tracks like “Vitamin C,” Damo Suzuki pulls things way back here. Gone are the manic, stream-of-consciousness outbursts—instead, […]

Ageless Children is the experimental one-person band that just released Days I Couldn’t Talk, their proper debut project. The 5-song outing combines the lushness of shoegaze with the intimacy of acoustic folk, lending to some ethereal cuts from a wildly impressive debut. The name Ageless Children is taken from a quote in an article about […]

26-year-old Mike Jett has been concocting a musical potion in the Toronto music scene for the better half of a decade. The mysterious musician lands somewhere between The Clash and Smashing Pumpkins, employing the loose definitions of punk and the dark grunge of the 90s. After beginning to release music under the Mike Jett name […]

There’s a certain electricity that follows Orquestra Pacifico Tropical—a sense that what started as a local experiment has grown into something far more communal, far more alive. Formed in 2012 by Portland scene mainstays David “Papi” Fimbres and Carlos Segovia, the group emerged from the same creative spark that fueled their Latinx dance night, Double […]

Big Money Has Entered the Room Not long ago, cryptocurrency was largely dismissed by the financial establishment. Major banks called it a fad. Pension fund managers refused to touch it. Regulators treated it with open suspicion. That era is over. Today, the firms that manage your retirement savings, university endowments, and national wealth funds are […]

For this week’s Tuesday’s Gone, we dig into one of the rare early live clips from Can. This 1970 performance—often mislabeled as “Rockpalast,” though it’s actually a German TV studio session filmed in Cologne—stands as one of the rawest visual snapshots of the band right as they were charting completely new territory. At this point, […]

Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, Queen Latifah, Oasis, Sade and Joy Division/New Order will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, along with first-time nominees Wu-Tang Clan and the late Luther Vandross. The list was revealed on Monday night’s airing of “American Idol.” Artists must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years […]

Eliza Edens is a Brooklyn-based songwriter who studies love, grief, and geologic time through guitar-based music. After years of making lush, fingerpicked guitar music, the singer has reemerged with their first single in 3 years, “Leash.” With a fresh palette of bouncy electric bass, watery keys, and off-kilter guitars, Edens encourages the listener to give […]

Abes Bones is a Rock ‘N Roll band (and potential Orgone Energy Accumulator) from Tucson, Arizona. Their sound emanates from a crystal ball in which the two titans of Abraham Lincoln – Patriot, Wrestling Champion, Mental Health Advocate – and Abraham – 11th descendant of Noah, Patriarch, Social Media Influencer – have been imprisoned through […]

For this week’s Manic Monday, we’re diving into one of the most influential bands to never truly crack the mainstream—Can. On one of their most recognizable tracks, Vitamin C, the band taps into a pure groove that’s part krautrock, part zen, and entirely ahead of its time. At the core is drummer Jaki Liebezeit, whose […]

YES—Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, and Jay Schellen—are proud to announce their 24th studio album AURORA will be released on June 12 via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music. As Howe explains: “Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music. It’s always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn’t really a […]

Microtonal cardboard duo Angine de Poitrine and the band’s management company, Spectacles Bonzaï, have announced the signing of worldwide distribution agreements for the physical release of the band’s two albums on vinyl and CD. The band’s debut, Vol. I, as well as the follow-up, Vol. II, are both set for global release on June 12. Following the breakout success of Vol. II, which was released on […]

A lot of people take the name Sugar Horse to be a drug reference. I suppose that’s fitting for a band that sounds like the last hours of a three-day binge. Darting wildly between dark/light, pain/bliss, sacred/profane, Sugar Horse is unpredictable and unrestrained. Formed in what is now considered to be the utopian dreamscape of […]
