Miracle Legion, one of the most influential indie bands of the 80s, will be playing live again with a series of shows in the northeast in late June, including a spot at Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival. Tickets for all shows are available at the venues and all the usual ticket services. Check out the time […]

Bonny Light Horseman has followed up their excellent 2022 release, Rolling Golden Holy, with the group’s most natural-sounding music yet, the double album Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free. The core trio of Eric D. Johnson, Anaïs Mitchell, and Josh Kaufman have used the wind-swept shores of England and Scotland for inspiration in the […]

Matt Hunter & The Dusty Fates are just hours away from releasing their latest album, Reindeer Soul (released date 6/7/). Still, before we receive the new album in its entirety, Glide is premiering the final single and video for the title track from the band’s latest effort. “Reindeer Soul” features a raw vocal performance over […]

Of all the hip-hop artists who emerged from New York City, not one act has been able to embody the hecticness and aggression of the city like Onyx. The four-piece from Queens was one of, if not the absolute, first groups to truly dive into what is now known as hardcore hip-hop or horrorcore. Their […]

The city of Philadelphia and dedicated rocker Adam Weiner go together like Rocky Balboa and the old Spectrum. Weiner has been creating sleazy rock records as Low Cut Connie since the early 2010s, and the city of brotherly love has embraced him as one of the leading stars to arise from their vibrant music scene. […]

Slark Moan is the New York-based indie rock artist and alter ego of multi-instrumentalist Mark Sloan. Their music is a cocktail of angular indie-rock hooks, colorful chord progressions, and virtuosic jazz solos, bathing in a pool of guitar-forward psychedelia. Moan spent much of the last decade as a session guitarist in Nashville, Tennessee, collaborating with […]

The prolific lo-fi-driven artist Alexei Shishkin has made a career of trusting his gut. Shishkin kicks things up a notch with “Rose Gold,” a twangy ballad that draws influence from jazz just as much as it does psychedelic folk. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but that doesn’t mean they should be overlooked. By keeping […]

Fantastic Cat, The Traveling Wilburys of smart indie pop, are back with the follow-up to their stellar 2022 debut. The band is comprised of Brian Dunne, Anthony D’Amato, Don DiLego, and Mike Montali all taking turns at the mic. Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat builds on The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat for an even more impressive […]

Jon Langford & The Bright Shiners are undertaking select U.S. tour dates in celebration of the release of their debut album, Where It Really Starts on the Tiny Global Productions label. Where It Really Starts is a delightfully off kilter collection of tunes that find Langford’s ever more skeptical lyrics floating on a salty sonic […]

Frankie and the Witch Fingers headlined night one of the Sabertooth micro psych festival at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom. Before the Witch Fingers threw down, the audience was loosened up with powerful sets from Fluid Druid, Death Valley Girls, and Black Mountain. Check out some photos from night one of the festival:

The Jesus Lizard, undeniably one of the most iconic and influential bands to emerge in the late 20th century, return with Rack, their first new album since 1998’s Blue, on Sept. 13 via Ipecac Recordings. A preview of the 11-song album arrives today with the release of “Hide & Seek,” a track David Yow describes as “a perky […]

Sturgill Simpson will make his long-awaited return to music this year with an extensive fall tour along with a new album under a new name, Johnny Blue Skies. After promising to release only five studio albums under his own name, Simpson marks the beginning of a new era with Johnny Blue Skies and the release of Passage Du Desir. Out July 12 on his […]

With four and a half decades of hindsight, Communique (released 6/5/79) now more than ever stands as the great lost Dire Straits album. In part, that’s because, except for “Lady Writer,” the overly obvious evocation of the modern update of country blues that dominated its predecessor, the prevailing mood is one of abiding languor.  Consequently, […]

Ghosts is the sixth solo album from Chicago-based musician and songwriter Steve Dawson. It’s being released June 7th on venerable Chicago label Pravda Records on CD, 12” LP vinyl, digital download and on streaming platforms. Hope, a poet wrote, is a thing with feathers, perched in the soul and singing a tune without words. In […]

For a special “Juxtaposed June” theme on Weirdo Wednesdays this month, we’ll be showcasing some particularly odd pairings that, quite simply, do not go together (which will only accentuate the weirdness of course)! That said, just because two things may not go together on paper, it doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t work, as this clip […]

Despite releasing music for two decades, Philadelphia’s Man Man has yet to be defined. The experimental rock project led by an unwavering creative by the name of Honus Honus, also known as Ryan Kattner, who has been fronting the project since its inception, has been able to avoid convention in every sense of the word. […]

South African pianist, composer, healer, and philosopher Nduduzo Makhathini is one of today’s few spiritually transcendent artists, as heard on his previous two Blue Note releases. Unlike some artists who gravitate toward the spiritual side of jazz more for musical reasons, Nduduzo (easier to use his first name) is a Zulu healer and educator by […]

Despite a couple of cliched country tracks on Jesse Daniel’s latest, Countin’ The Miles, there is a solid record to be found here, brimming with a notably updated take on the classic Bakersfield sound. The album opens with “Coming Apart At The Seams,” an up-tempo autobiographical look at the advice he learned growing up. And […]
