These days, there’s just about nobody who does old-school hardcore punk with the verve and style of Destiny Bond, probably the greatest band ever to be named after a Pokémon move. Destiny Bond come from Denver, and they have a towering, anthemic take on scrappy, urgent DIY music. They’re always fast and just slightly out of control, but their music …

Madchester, the glorious wave of rave-friendly rock bands that emerged from Manchester, England in the late ’80s and early ’90s, yielded heavily canonized artists like the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. But there were lots of acts in that scene that have not been so thoroughly entrenched in music history. One such act was Joanna, a quartet whose sole album …

It would be pretty funny if the new Daphni single had something to do with the upcoming Stranger Things finale, but it seems pretty safe to say that that is not the case. Caribou leader Dan Snaith has recently been cranking out tracks under his dance music alter-ego, assisting on Sofia Kourtesis’ “Unidos” and releasing his own singles “Sad Piano …

These days, Belfast rap group Kneecap is probably better-known as a symbol for free speech and pro-Palestinian solidarity than as an actual musical entity, but they’re still making music.

Big Thief has always been an intimate affair. A lot of the time, it seems like the band’s members — vocalist/guitarist Adrianne Lenker, guitarist Buck Meek, drummer James Krivchenia, and, until his recent departure, bassist Max Oleartchik — can’t get close enough to one another. On stage, no matter how much space they’ve got, they’ll set up and play crammed …

“Breaking The Girl” is an acoustic rock track on Red Hot Chili Peppers’ landmark 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. “Break The Girl” is the latest single from Florence Road, the Wicklow, Ireland pop-rock combo that has already shared several good songs this year.

Billy Bragg, the British folk-rock protest singer, has always spoken out loud and clear about issues of politics, morality, and justice, be it rebutting Oliver Anthony’s viral grievance anthem “Rich Men North Of Richmond” with a more acutely focused “Rich Men Earning North Of A Million” or signing a statement against unlicensed use of creative work in AI training.
