It’s been almost a year ago to the day since DIIV shared their latest studio album Frog In Boiling Water, but the band has endured a lot of life changes in that short time. In January, frontman Zachary Cole Smith’s house in Altadena was destroyed in the Los Angeles-area wildfires, as were all the baby supplies he and his wife had …

During Donald Trump’s recent tour of the Middle East, the President Of The United States seemed less concerned with forging relationships with international leaders and more concerned with what stars like Bruce Springsteen are saying about him. But now, instead of just whining like usual, Trump is now calling for a “major investigation” into celebrities who performed at Kamala Harris …

The Hattiesburg, Mississippi synth-punk eccentrics MSPAINT are among the best, most fascinating bands currently working. Whenever they do anything, you would be well-advised to pay attention. Later this week, they’ll follow their kickass 2023 album Post-American with No Separation, the new EP that they recorded with Show Me The Body members Julian Cashwann Pratt and Harlan Steel.
