Egg punkers Snooper are releasing their new album Worldwide this fall. They already shared the lead single and title track “Worldwide,” and today, they’re back with “Guard Dog.” It’s a self-conscious ripper where Blair Tramel’s vocals swirl around stocky electric guitar and viscous drum hits.

Almost 30 years ago, a new sound began bubbling up in small venues around Chicago — jazz clubs sometimes, but punk clubs and arts centers and other less defined spaces too. Cornet player Rob Mazurek was one of a small coterie of players, some of whom were members of the dubby “post-rock” (remember when that was a thing to aspire …

Alternate headline: White vs. White. Yesterday Jack White posted a scathing review of Donald Trump’s “vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy” Oval Office decor, likening it to Ric Flair’s dressing room. This might come as a shock, but Trump’s team wasn’t very happy about it, and lashed out at the White Stripes founder in return.

Today Florence Welch has intensified that anticipation by revealing the music video for “Everybody Scream,” the new album’s opener and title track, along with some info about the new LP.

The youngsters in the LA-based band Rocket have a lovely take on the kind of fuzzy, hooky alternative rock that must’ve been coming out before anyone in the band was born. This fall, they’ll release their debut album R Is For Rocket, and it’s shaping up to be really, really good. We have already posted early singles “One Million,” “Crossing …

Last month, Tame Impala released their first new single in a few years, the sun-dazed seven-minute epic “End Of Summer,” after band mastermind Kevin Parker previewed it during a surprise DJ set at Primavera. Good song! Or I think it’s a good song, anyway. Maybe Parker disagrees, since he doesn’t seem to want to take any credit for it.

Wrong Side Of Heaven, the first full-length from the truly wonderful Baltimore hardcore band End It, will arrive next week. The album rollout has been an absolute blast. The band teamed up with director Noah Haycock to make some fun, ridiculous videos for the early singles “Pale Horse,” “Life Sublime,” and “Optical Delusions.” Now, they’ve got one more video for …

You’ve heard of YOLO, but what about YOTO? As in “Year Of The Optimist,” the new standalone single from the melodically and emotionally supercharged Chicago rockers Beach Bunny.
