Last month L’Rain announced her new album fata morgana and shared the phenomenal lead single “soulless cycle,” which some are calling the Song Of The Summer. I would not argue with them. On July 4, she briefly put the track “July 5” on streaming for a day. Now Taja Cheek is back with “borderline.” The post L’Rain – “borderline” appeared …

There’s a deep history of Interpol songs that are maybe sort of ambiguously about the band’s New York City hometown, and now we’ve got another entry in that canon. Next month, the veteran rock fashionistas will release their new album This Mirror Weighs A Ton. They recorded it with big-deal producer Andrew Wyatt, and it’s got a mixing job from …

Heather Sawyer has been in Madison punk bands like the Hussy, Proud Parents, and Boo/Hiss, and she makes her own spiky, gnarly, catchy DIY tracks as Heather The Jerk. Just a few months ago, she impressed us mightily with the cassette album Scroll If You Love Devil, which our own Chris DeVille described as “a bit like Vivian Girls meets …

I remember immersing myself in the album on a portable CD player in the backseat of my parents’ sedan on my way from Columbus to Lansing for a college visit …

Say Anything had a troubled run in the Warped Tour spotlight before Wavves emerged as a scrappy, noisy lo-fi auteur. But now, all these years later, idiosyncratic frontmen Max Bemis and Nathan Williams have come together for a …
