Sir Richard Bishop is about to drop another slab of American primitive fingerstyle guitar goodness upon us. The Portland-based performer will release his pleasingly titled new album Hillbilly Ragas on ye olde Drag City in September. Its opening track, “They Shall Take Up Serpents,” also is well-named, and man, can this guy shred. Crucially, Bishop’s acoustic guitar virtuosity serves the …

At long last, the End It album is nearly upon us. Baltimore hardcore face-rippers End It have been doing their thing since the pre-pandemic days, playing crazy shows and cranking out abbreviated bursts of nastiness. Just off of a couple of EPs and a whole lot of live shows, they’ve become enough of a hardcore sensation that they will soon …

Around here we’re pretty big fans of Restraining Order, the Massachusetts-based band who put a great contemporary spin on early hardcore punk — perhaps you recall my esteemed colleague Tom Breihan’s valorous, laudatory claim that “Restraining Order made [him] piss blood.” Just two years shy of their previous record Locked In Time, today they’ve announced its follow-up Future Fortune. Before …

The UK multi-instrumentalist Sarah Cosgrove started Low Girl as a solo project when she was a student at Lincoln University — presumably the one in the English town of Lincoln, not the HBCU in Pennsylvania. Eventually, Low Girl grew into a full-on four-member band that includes Cosgrove’s sibling Tom on drums. Low Girl released their debut EP Big Now in …

Softcult, the duo of twin Toronto siblings Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn, earned Stereogum Band To Watch honors back in 2023. We’ve continued to watch them since then, and they have continued to crank out extremely pretty guitar music without releasing a proper album. Lately, they’ve been operating one single at a time, and now they’ve followed the last one, April’s …

The last Jay Som LP was 2019’s Anak Ko, which we named our Album Of The Week. Since then Melina Duterte has stayed busy releasing music with Palehound as Bachelor and collaborating with Troye Sivan, Living Hour, Fashion Club, and plenty more.

The ’90s alt-rock revivalism of Rocket’s 2023 EP Versions Of You earned them a spot on our list of the Best New Artists Of 2024. The LA quartet kicked off 2025 with a few singles including “One Million” and “Crossing Fingers,” and today they’ve announced a whole album: R Is For Rocket arrives in October, and another new single called “Wide …
