Liverpool synthpoppers Ladytron have been making bleak, icy, futuristic music for more than two decades. They never really change, and there’s something comforting about that. Ladytron’s last album Time’s Arrow came out in 2023. Since then, their 2005 classic “Destroy Everything You Touch” appeared on the Saltburn soundtrack, and their 2002 single “Seventeen’ went viral on TikTok. Now, Ladytron are …

The titans of ’90s Britpop walk the earth once again, and sometimes they even play shows in America. Supergrass, for instance, are over here playing shows. Their peers in Oasis and Pulp are doing the same thing, but they’re not giving performances on American late-night TV like Supergrass. The Oxford band released their nervy, punky debut album I Should Coco …

The Police’s 1983 mega-hit “Every Breath You Take” is one of the biggest pop hits of all time, and its sole credited songwriter is Sting, the band’s singer and bassist. This has long been a point of contention between Sting and his former Police bandmates, guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland. Summers came up with the arpeggiated “Every Breath …

Two days ago Morrissey told the world he was selling the Smiths’ name, likeness, and intellectual property to any interested bidder. As he explained it, he could no longer bear to be associated with former bandmates who hate his guts. Unsurprisingly, it seems there were many interested parties, so Moz is no longer accepting inquiries at the eaves7760@gmail.com email address.

It’s always fascinating when people from the hardcore world continue to operate in that universe even when they’re making music that’s pretty far outside of it. Consider the Leeds band Bodyweb. They play hardcore festivals. They record for Flatspot Records and Northern Unrest, two hardcore labels. They’re about to tour the UK and Europe with hardcore heroes Poison The Well. …

Last week, New York’s Frog announced new album The Count, which is named after a strange, supernatural character that began to appear in the New York metropolitan area in August ’25. It’s unclear how non-fictional this whole account is; the duo’s Daniel Bateman shared a ghastly account in which the Count’s music put everyone in a trance as he and …

Boston alt-rockers Slothrust are cooking up something. Last month, they released a playful single called “Wildcard,” their first new track since the band’s 2023 EP I Promise. Today, they’ve followed that song with an even siller track called “Spill The Juice.” It’s a remarkably horny R&B-rock hybrid about getting it on all week long, and it suggests that Slothrust didn’t …

The anonymous Korean musician who rose to underground fame releasing music as Parannoul operates under many identities. Whereas Parannoul albums tend to be grand shoegaze epics, he’s also been known to put out hard-grooving, spaced-out psych rock as Huremic, and earlier this year he launched a series that will see him releasing a new album every two months under his …

Paul Castelluzzo has worked with many talented musicians over the years — from Clairo to Vince Staples to Justin Bieber to Kali Uchis to Mac Miller. But now, he’s started to release his own music under the name Hether, including last month’s “Falling For The Feeling.” Today, he announced his debut album Holy Water and released two singles “Monica” and …

The Ventura, California trio VTB is a heavy, grungey, shoegaze-adjacent band with no guitarist. It’s just drums, bass, and keyboards, though the bass and keyboards often sound like guitars. Last year, VTB released their full-length debut 91016. Next month, they’ll follow it with a new EP called People Died & Things Exploded. “Help,” the EP’s lead single and opening track, …
