Detroit alt-rockers Sponge were all over the radio in the years after they released their gold-selling 1994 debut album Rotting Piñata. They haven’t been that prominent since then, but they’ve stuck around and continued to release music. In 2024, they released 1994, an album that was just covers of songs from that year.

Last month, the Houston venue White Oak Music Hall hosted an event from Ken Paxton, the far right extremist who is currently running for Senate in a much-watched Texas race.

Brighton’s Porridge Radio were one of the greatest, most reliably cathartic indie rock bands going. So it was a shame when they broke up shortly after 2024’s Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me, and it’s correspondingly exciting to learn frontperson Dana Margolin is launching a solo career.

It’s just what I get stuck in my head whenever I see the word “Horsepower.” This particular blog post is about Charlotte Weinman, the Brooklyn-based indie rock musician who records under the name Horsepower. She doesn’t sound anything like 2 Chainz. The …

Before she started her Snail Mail project, Lindsey Jordan had a Liz Phair cover band called Lizard Phair. In 2018, Jordan and Phair did a Pitchfork interview together (with former Stereogummer Claire Lobenfeld, shout out) and Jordan said, “I would have thought of something better if I knew I would have had to say it to your face.” Right now, …

Kevin Morby’s Little Wide Open remains one of the best albums we’ve heard this year. When it dropped, Morby told us the story behind every song on the tracklist, but there were some tunes left over when all was said and done. One of those is out today, and it’s a lot more lighthearted than most Morby tracks. The post …
