Generally, it’s not news when a rock star says that we need to get rid of Donald Trump. It would be a bigger deal if they said otherwise. But Bruce Springsteen’s feelings about Trump, while unsurprising, are newsworthy because they’ve already earned the wrath of Trump himself, who threatened a “major investigation” of Springsteen’s political endorsements and wrote, “This dried …

Over the years, Nashville country has absorbed the aesthetics of lots of different out-of-favor pop genres like ’70s singer-songwriter music and ’80s hair metal. Now, country is coming for ’90s alt-rock. At least, that’s the impression that I get from the lineup for next year’s Stagecoach Festival, the country mega-fest that comes to Indio, California’s Empire Polo Club right after …

Olivia Osby is a member of Lowertown and Child Star, and she puts out her own records under the name Olivia O. Last year, she released her second solo album No Bones, Sickly Sweet. Earlier this month, she headlined our own Danielle Chelosky’s Stereogum-sponsored Weird Fucks With Music night, a combination live show and reading. Now, she’s got a new …

These days, it’s harder and harder to get booked on American late-night shows. Those opportunities seem to be getting scarcer every week. So it’s cool that the swaggering Stockholm post-punkers Viagra Boys got a chance to hit our TV screens on Wednesday night. The Daily Show doesn’t book musical guests all that often, but they got Viagra Boys.

The young Maryland rapper/producer redveil has never reminded me of Chance The Rapper until this moment. Today, redveil follows “square one,” the impressive single that he released earlier this year, with “brown sugar,” a cutesy, flirty new track with a singsong chorus that definitely has a lot of Coloring Book-era Chance in its DNA. It’s even got a video where …

The Luxembourg indie band Francis Of Delirium released their album Lighthouse in March 2024, and we haven’t heard from them since then. That 18-month silence ends today with the release of new single “Little Black Dress.” With its dense layers of harmony and huge, bashed-out drums, it’s the kind of rock song built for big rooms, grand catharsis, and maybe …
