It was a weekend of adjustments, solid pitching and a strong response for the JK Select NY 17U team at the Blue Chip Invitational on Long Island. Watching this group… The post SOURCE SPORTS: JK Select NY Team Breaks Even At Blue Chip Invitational Tournament In Long Island This Weekend appeared first on .

Both solo and as a member of projects like Palberta and My Idea, Lily Konigsberg used to be a prolific force in indie-pop, so it’s surprising that today’s new single marks her first release in four years. We’re glad to have her back in action. “Free Byrd” is a pop song with a skip in its step. There’s some real …

Let’s talk about the Militarie Gun double-grunt. I first heard it as “oof oof” or maybe “roo roo,” but apparently it was always “ooh ooh.” I know this because they printed “ooh ooh” on the back of a T-shirt once. That sound is Militarie Gun’s catchphrase, their signature. When they play live now, they build up to every “ooh ooh,” …

Do people ever confuse the young Philadelphia shoegaze crew Bleary Eyed for the post-Oasis Liam Gallagher band Beady Eye, or is that just me? For their entire existence, I kept thinking of Beady Eye as “Bleary Eye,” and now there’s a Bleary Eyed. This might be what finally pushes me into the “OK grandpa, let’s get you to bed” phase …

Sometimes, indie rock types write music for dance performances, and it’s usually pretty fair to slot that music into the minor-works category of their discographies. Nobody is like, “Yeah, Illinois is cool, but I think Sufjan Stevens’ best shit is the music that he writes for ballet.” This is not how you should think of the new Perfume Genius single …

Here’s what’s happening right now: I bet you’re looking at this blog post headline like, “oh huh, I bet that was cool.” No. Stop thinking like that. It’s fucking awesome. Don’t keep this open in another tab like “I’ll try to watch it later today.” This is not one of those situations. This is a drop-everything alarm. You and I …

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the proudly messy Philadelphia DIY crew Empath, but they’re still going, and we think of them fondly. We recognized their last LP, the 2022 sophomore joint Visitor as an Album Of The Week. Empath haven’t released any new music in a few years, but they toured earlier this year. They haven’t broken …

Party-starting Nashville punks Snooper are getting ready to open Mannequin Pussy and Wednesday’s Bitch Cabal tour, which ought to be a great time. Today, they drop a new single that will probably go crazy at those shows. “Mouth Closed” is a pummeling pogo jam with a merciless pep-rally drum-machine beat and some ultra-corroded scream-along vocals. It sounds like electroclash reinvented …

In the early 2010s, Krill emerged out of Boston in a loosely mathy tangle of guitars and neuroses and became a cult sensation for a generation of budding indie rock fans. The band’s lifespan coincided with my late 20s and early 30s, and they came to my attention through my young millennial coworkers here at Stereogum, writers like James Rettig …
