Their music channels punk’s urgency and grit, powered by tight chemistry and anaggressive edge that only a three-piece can deliver.Now, Spoon Benders are preparing to release their highly anticipated third album, capturing the intensity of the road and the confidence of a band fully in its stride. With new songs on the way and the volume turned up, Spoon Benders continue to prove that three people are more than enough to make some serious noise.

&nbsp;If all the world is a stage, then our performance is a lonely one. Reflected not through eyes but through screens ad infinitum, our audience – real or imagined – is no longer a burden but a need. Attention, recognition, validation: we trade our interior worlds for the thrill of public display. In a hyper-individual world, Ulrika Spacek’s fourth album EXPO offers an antidote.&nbsp;Even as its five members have been pulled by tides of their own, Ulrika Spacek has always been a symbol of collective art. Despite a range of day jobs (experimental physicists, graphic designers, music producers) the collective pursuit is there in the shared dream logic of the music: the off-kilter melodies, jagged guitars and cirrus cloud atmospherics. It’s there, in all the things that are said and unsaid between them; there in the writing, producing and mixing processes they share in. And even as each of their parts moves toward a unified vision, it’s never more keenly felt than in the bigger picture to which Ulrika Spacek belong.&nbsp;Whether it is Oysterland, the self-curated night the band began to platform artists of other disciplines in live music spaces; Total Refreshment Centre, the East London studio acclaimed producer [caroline, Thurston Moore, Spiritualized] / bassist Syd Kemp runs which connects the dots between the jazz scene and like-minded experimental artists; or their creative bleed as musicians and producers with Crack Cloud and caroline, the band’s existence is inseparable from its community. And though singer/multi-instrumentalist Rhys Edwards now lives in Stockholm, it only underlines the band’s absolute togetherness when they create with one another - they go all-in, even at personal expense, for the sake of the whole. On the melodic, cold-sweat fever of “Picto”,&nbsp; states EXPO’s manifesto: “It’s back to strength in numbers, count in fives.”

Every band worth its salt has a member who worked in a record store. In METZ, the fearless noise rock trio who released five full-length albums on Sub Pop between 2012 and 2024, it was singer and guitarist Alex Edkins. Slinging indie rock and hardcore records in his hometown record store while attending university, Edkins became an ardent student of rock ‘n’ roll; from the psychedelic 1960s to the DIY 1990s and beyond. Hoopla, the catchy, melodic second LP from Edkins’s solo project Weird Nightmare, mixes and matches these influences in fun and exhilarating combinations, displaying his sophisticated musical mind. Bursting to life with hooks and earworms, Hoopla is that one tape that never gets ejectedfrom the car stereo, but plays on repeat, soundtracking the summer. New and nostalgic at the same time, Hoopla will perk up your ears. Weird Nightmare’s self-produced, and decidedly lo-fi, self-titled debut was recorded at home during the pandemic and released by Sub Pop in 2022. Weird Nightmare displayed Edkins’s indie rock sensibility, with a penchant for undeniable hooks and massive sing-along choruses. His skills at writing and performing only tightened on a series of singles that followed. On the new studio album Hoopla—co-produced with Spoon’s Jim Eno and recorded at Seth Manchester’s Machines with Magnets—Edkins expands Weird Nightmare’s dimensions even further. Gilded onto the direct emotions of his straightforward songwriting, new musical textures such as piano, bells, and castanets give these well-wrought tunes a shiny luster. It’s like a beloved indie director leveling up to their first studio feature. If Weird Nightmare’s debut was anunderground crowd pleaser akin to Richard Linklater’s Slacker, then Hoopla is Edkins’s Dazed and Confused, or even better, Before Sunrise. Hoopla represents a huge leap forward in his sonic palette and emotional vulnerability. Resplendent with sunny, guitar pop, Hoopla was produced with just the right amount of fuzz and crunch. The immediate, crisp, unfussy recording brings you right into the studio with Edkins and his rhythm section: Loel Campbell on drums and bassist Roddy Kuester. This is top-shelf power pop; these sharp jolts of adrenaline could slip into a radio rock block between The Replacements and Elvis Costello &amp; the Attractions. Or fit just as easily on a college radio set alongside Sharp Pins, Ratboys, and Alvvays. At its heart, this album is an optimistic, shining light in our strange time. Through Weird Nightmare, Edkins wants you to know that he is still in love with the world, and he invites the listeners of Hoopla to feel the same. Take this chance to seize a glimmer of widescreen pop magic in our used-up old world. You deserve it.

Dumbo Gets Mad is a psychedelic pop project founded in 2011 by Luca Bergomi, a songwriter, producer, and sound designer from Emilia. The name of the project is inspired by the scene Pink Elephants on Parade, one of the most famous, surreal, and psychedelic sequences in Disney's Dumbo (1941). It is a metaphor for the childlike spirit that confronts and confuses the absurd.Initially conceived as a duo with Carlotta Menozzi, the project stems from the artist's free vision, which unpredictably and playfully mixes styles, voices, languages, and genres filtered through his own taste. The project debuted in Los Angeles with their first album, Elephants at the Door, which immediately attracted the attention of an international fanbase. The first single released, Plumy Tale, was included by critic Joe Tangari among the 50 best tracks of 2011 according to Pitchfork, while Marmalade Kids was chosen by NPR (the American public radio station) as 'song of the day'.In 2013, the second album, Quantum Leap, was released, which, compared to the debut, presents itself as a true psychedelic jam session; the song Indian Food consolidated the project's presence on the US music scene.The third album, Thank You Neil, was released in 2015: a soul-tinged record inspired by American astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson. Recorded entirely live, the album showcases a more elegant and minimalist approach to production and once again received widespread acclaim from international critics.In 2019, the single Makes You Fly was released by the French label Nice Guys, anticipating the album Things Are Random And Time Is Speeding Up, released in February 2021 and followed by a tour in North America and Mexico.

Brown Horse return with their third album Total Dive. Their strongest and most grounded work to date, it showcases a new level of skill and assurance in the Norwich, UK band’s thoughtful lyricism and musicality. Leaning away from the playfulness and eclecticism of their previous works, Total Dive sees Brown Horse step forward into the darkness with a cautious optimism. With songs from each of the four members (Patrick Turner, Nyle Holihan, Emma Tovell and Rowan Braham) the writing charts a world of small revelations and painful changes. As they move confidently between searing noise and delicate reflection, they take time to note the beauty and agony of the mundane; the death rattle of a vending machine, headlights flashing in the eyes of a road-killed fox, the heather-pink of a winter sky. The new album is the clearest expression yet of Brown Horse’s unique sound - somewhere between the stark country rock of Uncle Tupelo, the raw intimacy of early Cat Power, and the haunted landscapes of Magnolia Electric Co., while embracing the self-possessed noisiness of alt rock trailblazers like Built to Spill and The Breeders. Bolstered by the playing of Norwich drummer, Ben Rodwell, and the vocal harmonies of Leeds-based musician, Neve Cariad, Total Dive is the sound of a band coming fully into their own. These are songs inhabited by wide Norfolk skies, thousands of shared miles on the road, the noise of heartbreak and humour, and the echoing silence of long hours spent in strange in-between places.

When rising Los Angeles singer-songwriter Devon Gabriella first picked up an acoustic guitar at 13, she locked herself in her bedroom and wouldn’t come out until she’d learned the basics of how to play. “I remember my fingers were bleeding as I searched up chords on Google, trying to match them to the diagrams,” Devon says, recalling her unwavering internal push to master this new instrument without formal lessons. “The first song I ever learned was ‘Jolene’ by Dolly Parton. I’ll never forget how excited I was to play and sing at the same time.”This is the level of dedication the rising 24-year-old singer-songwriter has always brought to her music, which is a heartfelt blend of Fleetwood Mac-style soft-rock, Kacey Musgraves-inspired modern country, and Taylor Swift-esque confessional lyricism. Today, Devon’s diligence and earnest love of her craft has not only caught the attention of thousands of fans, who have connected with each other and formed an online community, but in 2025 it caught the attention of sombr, who requested that Gabriella open for his Late Nights &amp; Young Romance Tour, which traveled across North America last fall.“When Shane [sombr] reached out for me to open it for him on tour, it was like the most unexpected thing in the world,” Devon says. “I felt like it was the culmination of my hard work, to know that it was by merit, and that Shane thought it'd be a cool fit and liked the music – that was very rewarding for me, as a fan of him and his music.”Now based in LA after growing up in the Bay area and studying communications and marketing at college in San Luis Obispo, Devon continues to put everything she has into her burgeoning music career. Though Devon has been playing professionally since she was 19, music has been a constant in her life from the very beginning. As a child in San Jose, Devon’s father and mother surrounded Devon and her twin sister with music, with her father playing guitar and piano to them, singing little jingles to make the girls smile, or playing ‘90s rap to entertain them in their high chairs. In third grade, Devon began performing in school musicals and talent shows and even formed a girl band with her sister. Devon was a die-hard fan of 2010s pop staples like Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana, and, being a child of the internet, she wasn’t shy about posting videos of herself singing cover songs to Instagram.As she came of age, Devon threw herself into making connections, often cold DM’ing fellow musicians to see if they wanted to collaborate, and messaging producers she tracked down by finding their credits on songs she liked. “I realized the importance of social media, exposure, and connecting with people,” Devon says. “I really had to put my foot in the door and release any ego I had with being rejected if it meant getting closer to the yes.” One of those cold DMs led to Devon connecting with Jordan Lilvee (Avery Lynch, Grace Power), the recording engineer who has worked on nearly all of her songs from the beginning.

What happens when two artists defined by independence decide to share the reins? Particularlyin the realm of electronic music, so often crafted in the privacy of a bedroom or a solitary studio,collaboration can feel like an exercise in ceding control. For Brothertiger and Hotel Pools, thisexercise proved surprisingly easy.Months of swapping ideas from opposite coasts gradually yielded Paradigms, a joint album thatfinds the two veteran artists melding their signature sounds into a dreamy electronicaconfection. Over seven hypnotic songs, Brothertiger’s entrancing vocals float in a rich mist oflayered synths, creating an ethereal sonic atmosphere that feels simultaneously calm andclimactic.At its face, this sound may not be unfamiliar to fans of either artist. Hotel Pools, the moniker ofPortland-based artist and producer Ben Braun, has been a stalwart presence in the vaporwavescene since 2018, and Brothertiger’s John Jagos has amassed a cult following for his masterfulelectronic production. Their affinity for synths isn’t the only thing they have in common — afterdemoralizing experiences with traditional record labels, both artists opted to go fullyindependent and release music directly to their fans.“Hotel Pools was born because I was tired of having to deal with other people controlling myoutput,” Ben explains. “When the project was born in 2018, I was just putting demos onSoundcloud — totally grassroots, and it just kind of connected with an audience. I leaned intomaking the music I wanted to make, having the artwork made that I wanted made, working withwho I wanted to work with, and kind of shunning the industry to a certain degree.”Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, John was honing his craft in New York and buildinga name for Brothertiger on the assemblage of music blogs that defined 2010s music discovery.Platforms like Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Myspace presented a refreshingly straightforwardalternative to the record label route, offering more creative autonomy and deeper relationshipswith fans.But after years of writing, producing, and releasing their own music, both artists foundthemselves yearning for creative kinship.“Being an independent solo artist, I’m so used to working by myself, and I know Ben is too,”says John. “But the past two years, I’d been thinking it would be cool to collaborate withsomeone whose music I really like who is also a solo artist who shares a similar vision andsound.”John reached out to Ben, Ben sent over a demo, John added lyrics. Immediately, both artists feltstruck by not only the fluidity of the working relationship but the comfort they felt in each

CLEOPATRICK’s sophomore album, FAKE MOON, is a daring leap into new territory for the Cobourg Ontario-based post-rock duo. It’s a record spanning time, influence, and sound, blending lo-fi intimacy with grand, expansive production. For Luke Gruntz and Ian Fraser, this album represents more than just a sonic shift – it’s a bold solidification of their ever-developing creative identity.“It’s the most real thing we could have made,” Luke shares. “I wanted to do something beautiful. It’s a struggle between control and surrender, individuality and belonging. It’s where we are now.”Returning refreshed from a creative breather, after the rigorous post-pandemic touring of debut LP BUMMER, the newest record on their own ‘Nowhere Special Recordings’ is a captivating collision of lo-fi grit, quiet introspection, and overt existentialism. Anchored in refusal of conformity, and captured with what can only be described as the audio equivalent to Playstation 1 graphics – FAKE MOON navigates power, vulnerability, and the complexities of individual identity with both rawness and precision.&nbsp;Take ‘HEAT DEATH,’ a visceral opener born out of a corrupted demo session that required a painstaking, stem-by-stem rescue operation that Luke describes as “The will of a technocracy foiled by two humble men.” The song channels its own chaotic origins into a sovereign anthem of defiance, daring a universal authority to “take it from me, man.”FAKE MOON is CLEOPATRICK at their most adventurous. Look overhead and perhaps you’ll spot the orbiting influences of Radiohead’s experimental brilliance, the grounded surrealism of Dijon’s Absolutely, or the raw intimacy of favourites since highschool, Califone. “We’re just trusting our creative compass,” they say. “I actually tried to write BUMMER 2 at first – but it immediately felt as if I was putting on the costume of a 23 year old me. It wasn't coming out honest.” When it came to recording, the pair slowed the process and expanded their crew for the first time. They enlisted respected guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Haldeman and the expertise of producer Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker/Hand Habits/Tomberlin). Hunkered down in Weinrobe’s Brooklyn studio, together they shaped the sound from an “as long as it feels good, it sounds good” approach, where the angular recordings from the pair’s instinctive style of throwing up mics and tracking on whatever device was closest formed its foundations.The lyrics on FAKE MOON are as textured and evocative as the album’s sonics, weaving narratives that feel simultaneously intimate and universal, radiating a tension between fragility and defiance, conspiracy and truth. “BAD GUY” wrestles with guilt, while “HAMMER,” written in a parked car during a Toronto heatwave, explores surrendering to authority for a fleeting sense of certainty. “SARAH” digs into the romance of collective identity, while “PLEASE” reflects on the magnetic pull of groupthink, with its robo-folk soundscape eventually degrading into a somber puddle of digital slush.&nbsp;The concepts and characters on FAKE MOON often manifest as something liminal and nonlinear – like snapshots of emotions or thoughts mid-process. “SOFTDRIVE” takes this even further, as the sprawling instrumental is pieced together from years of recovered demos, videos, and voice notes off a once-busted college hard drive. The result of which is a swirling audio collage that somehow possesses both the intensity of a space shuttle launch and the frictionless peace of a near earth orbit – mirroring the duality of the record itself.Nominated for Canada’s 2022 JUNO as “Breakthrough Group of the Year,” CLEOPATRICK have amassed over 100 million streams alongside multiple sell-out tours in the US, UK, and EU, performed at festivals Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Reading/Leeds, and supported Royal Blood on their US tour. With FAKE MOON, the duo ventures deeper inward, crafting a record that reasserts their artistic ability while holding true to themselves.

Lowertown, the duo of Avsha Weinberg and Olivia Osby, first met in high school math class. They sparked a friendship when Avsha looked over Olivia’s shoulder to see what music she was playing on her laptop, bonding over a shared love of Alex G and The Microphones. They traded influences, and eventually, demos, releasing their first ever single as Lowertown in 2018 before they’d graduated high school. “It was trial by fire,” remembers Olivia, the band’s distinct and off-kilter style initially proving to be an obstacle to fitting in on local bills, but their 2019 debut Friends set things in motion.From the beginning, their approach to collaboration was shaped by their differing backgrounds. Olivia spent her formative years writing poetry, while Avsha took up classical piano at age 4. The interplay between Olivia’s intuitive approach and Avsha’s measured attention to detail is central to the sound of Lowertown.Within a short period of the time the duo had signed to a label, and hit the road supporting Wet Leg, quickly followed by a run with Porches, and a national tour with label mates and friends Beabadoobee.Across three albums, the band’s sound has expanded from their initial indie folk offerings to include flashes of electronica, jagged punk, and beautiful atmospherics. Mood has always been key to the sound of Lowertown, the singular interplay between Olivia &amp; Avsha’s alternatingly raw and melodic vocals playing out over freeform songwriting that Pitchfork described as “fascinating.”They are now gearing up to go on their first US headline tour. They plan to release their highly anticipated 4th album. The album was entirely written, performed, and produced by the duo in Avsha’s Brooklyn apartment.

School of Rock Presents:

Perry Maysun is a 23-year-old alternative hip-hop artist from New York whose work confronts substance abuse, mental health, and societal struggle with unflinching honesty, all rooted in his mission of self-compassion embodied by his mantra and brand, BYOBF (Be Your Own Best Friend). Blending intimate storytelling with forward-thinking production, and extending his vision into poetry, clothing, film, painting, and sculpture, Perry approaches each release as a fully realized artistic world. Despite enduring six months of chemotherapy, a full knee and partial femur replacement, and treatment for a life-threatening tumor in 2024, he has completed twenty four fully conceptualized albums, using music as both personal catharsis and a therapeutic outlet for listeners. Open about his battles with drug addiction, mental illness, his experience as a survivor of sexual violence and cancer, Perry transforms pain into purpose, and with his forthcoming 27-song double album Pathetic Beasts, anchored by eight color-coded singles and an immersive tour where he will be painted a different color each night, he continues to build a vulnerable, multidimensional universe centered on resilience and radical self-acceptance.

Alt-pop agitator girlidescribes her upcoming album 'Nothing Hurts Like a Girl' as her most"reflective" and "vulnerable" body of work yet. "It’s about the pain of being in queer relationshipsand getting hurt by a girl, but also the pain of being a woman and figuring out who you are,"says the musician also known as Milly Toomey. This personal growth has coincided with anevolution in how girli approaches her artistry. When she broke through seven years ago withedgy electro gems like 'Girls Get Angry Too', she relished being combative. "Initially I waspissed off about a lot of things and I just wanted to get them out," she says. "But now, writingsongs is like therapy for me–it's about processing things I've gone through and how theyshaped me as a person."Born and raisedin north London, girli started out singing in bands, but soon realised she was"too much of a control freak" not to go solo. She adopted her stage name and signature pinkhair during this period as a way of "weaponising everything that was being used against me".Right from the start, girli took pride in being slyly subversive. "The word 'girly' has so muchstigma attached to it because it's often used to belittle femininity," she explains. "I wanted to take that word and turn it into something powerful, and I changed the 'y' to an 'i' so people wouldbe able to find my music on Google.

“If Hiatus Kaiyote and Masters At Work had a child, corto.alto would be it - the future is now!” - Gilles PetersonIt’s been an intense but rewarding few years for Liam Shortall, better known as the multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and performer corto.alto, (the stage name a nod to his Irish-Spanish heritage, translating as “short.tall” in Spanish). The release of his debut album ‘Bad With Names’ saw him nominated for the 2024 Mercury Music Prize – alongside fellow Scot and now label-mate Barry Can’t Swim and the likes of Charli XCX, Ghetts, Beth Gibbons (Portishead), Nia Archives, CMAT and more – and saw him booked to play hundreds of shows across the world, including high-profile festival performances and a sold-out UK tour that featured his own personally curated 2000-capacity “Made In Glasgow” mini-festival at the city’s legendary Barrowlands Ballroom venue. Now making its Seattle debut, the collective formed by Liam Shortall (trombone, bass guitar, effects) deploys explosive brass textures, electronic beats, and dancefloor energy, showcasing Shortfall’s natural ear for cross-pollination of styles.Another Magic&nbsp;(@anothermagicmusic)&nbsp;is the solo project of Thomas Arndt, a percussionist reared in Seattle's all-ages punk scene, whose unique sound blends joyful resistance with influences from Brazil, global bass music, and salsa reworks to get the&nbsp;dance floor&nbsp;moving. Their quickly-rising live duo Lucha Luna (@laluchaluna) mixes cumbia, punk vocals, and heavy percussion in an energetic expression of liberation, community and healing.&nbsp;

Acopia is a band from Naarm/Melbourne, formed in 2018 by Kate Durman, Lachlan McGeehan, and Morgan Wright. Working with restraint and atmosphere, their music unfolds slowly and deliberately, guided by instinct and emotion. Their debut album Chances was released in 2022 on Melbourne imprint Companion, followed by a self-titled, self-released LP in 2023. Since then, they’ve sold out headline shows across the UK, Europe, and Australia, performed at festivals including Wide Awake (UK), Les Nuits Botanique (BE), and Golden Plains (AUS), and shared the stage with artists such as Bar Italia, Tirzah, and Raisa K. Their third album, Blush Response, is due out in September 2025 via London label Scenic Route.

The Belair Lip Bombs might be Australia’s best-kept secret. But it won’t stay that way for long.Hailing from the coastal town of Frankston, the close-knit indie-rock four-piece have been building a loyal local following since they first formed eight years ago; fans across the band’s hometown of Melbourne and beyond have been magnetized to the group’s earnestness and ultra-sticky power-pop song structures.Now, the four close friends — lead singer/guitarist Maisie Everett, Mike Bradvica (guitar), Jimmy Droughton (bass), and Daniel “Dev” Devlin (drums) — are about to embrace a new chapter with their signing to Jack White’s Third Man Records (the first Australian release on the international label) and the unveiling of their endlessly listenable sophomore album, Again, which echoes the album’s joyous opening track (“Again and Again”) and winkingly symbolizes the band’s reintroduction to a global audience.It’s easy to see why Third Man snatched them up: Born from the creative hub that is Frankston DIY venue Singing Bird Studio, The Belair Lip Bombs pull you in immediately with their self-coined “yearn-core” combination of quick-footed rhythms, warm and fuzzy guitar melodies, and Maisie’s cathartic vocals, which recall the heartfelt stylings of Yawners’ Elena Nieto, Julia Jacklin, or Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield. Such a vocal presence is ironically at odds with Maisie’s insular and pensive personality, but it’s in the music where her heart truly shines brightest, and it’s in the Bombs’ electric live show where her artistry confidently commands the stage.Following the breakout success of 2023’s Lush Life, the quartet’s follow-up effort gives the group’s DIY indie-rock style a fresh coat of polish across 10 rollicking new tracks, which were produced by the band, Nao Anzai (The Teskey Brothers), and Joe White (Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever).Laveda:Laveda have carved out their place in NY’s ever growing indie rock scene since moving fromthe state capitol to the heart of NYC’s up and coming underground music hub, RidgewoodQueens. Formed by co-foundersAli Genevich(vocals/guitar/bass) andJake Brooks(guitar/vocals), withDan Carr(bass/guitar) andJoe Taurone(drums), the group has evolvedfrom their dreamy indie roots into a charged, experimental force,harnessing aesthetics of 80’spunk and 90’s grunge.Their third studio album,Love, Darla,released onBar/None RecordsinSeptember of 2025, cements the band’s new noise-rock leaning sound through ten emotionallyresonant tracks thatmirror the harsh noise and static of the city they now call home.Far OutMagazine UKpraises Laveda’s “coyplayfulness, evidence of years spent together finding thebest way through a genre overflowing with lazy guitar work and unimaginative drummingpatterns” andTheNeedledropnames them “one of the most exciting bands in the undergroundright now”

Listening to them is a bit like leaning on your slightly older, begrudgingly wiser, yet equallyconfused best friend when shit hits the fan. In a mosaic of alternative and indie punctuated byunassuming pop appeal, the lived experiences of the band breathefluidly through the tracks astheir music yearns for connection, intimacy, for home or the past.The Detroit-born and Nashville-based trio—Trevor Dalrymple [vocals], Luca DiVergilio [bass],and Ethan Strain [lead guitar]—fearlessly flaunt personalities just as outsized as theseemotions, garnering them an online following of over one-hundred thousand. After amassing tenmillion-plus streams and earning early acclaim from A1234, SHEESH, and many others, theband continues to give form to relatable feelingson an upcoming 2025 EP.For as much as they’re on the same page these days, Luca and Trevor hated each other whenthey first met. “We met because we all dated the same set of twins,” Luca boasts. Best friendsLuca and Ethan began dating the twins on a road trip before Luca moved to Spain. Lucareturned home to find Trevor, a new addition to the friend group, dating his ex-girlfriend. “Lucaand I didn’t like each other at all,” Trevor recalls. “He was the ex-boyfriend, I was the newboyfriend, and we bothhad the same hair.”Over time, a shared romanticism and passion for art forced the two together and the threefriends began recording music in a cramped apartment. Nodding to inspirations such as The1975 &amp; Big Thief, they approached their artistry from aboundless perspective. Sharingindependent singles such as “Spaced Out,” Pretty Jane began to rise with fervent support in theunderground. They further fostered a tight knit relationship with the scene through incendiarybasement gigs, food fights with their fans, and crowd-surfing without fail at every show.They made waves with the breakout “Too Few Tattoos,” reeling in 7.8 million Spotify streams.A1234 hailed it as “an anthem that fits perfectly in a hangover recovery playlist, and equally soin a reflective morning playlist.” They maintained this momentum with the likes of “ShotgunWedding,” “Fur Coats,” and “under your tongue.” Of the latter, SHEESH praised, “It personifiesan emotion that only abrasive guitar tones can correctly convey, and with this single I can see areal maturation in their music."Their mastery of unexpected and unfettered intimacy lives up to the moniker of “Music that feelslike kissing your friends.” In short, the band urges their fans to make more bad decisions.“Kissyourfriends” is a call to live your life without the fear of consequence,” Luca grins. “I thinkour generation is less willing to settle for pissing their lives away, and we’re proud of that. ‘Kissyour friends’ is a bit of a battle cry for that.” “We as peoplehate monotony and inaction,” Trevorsays. “To me, ‘kissing your friends’ is like, Maybe there will be consequences, but go out, do it,and experience those emotions.” “I think that’s why we gravitate towards themes of yearning,”Ethan adds. “We’re all yearning for deeper connections and experiences.”

For Nottingham quartet Divorce, home is a feeling. The band, made up of Tiger Cohen-Towell (vocals / bass), Felix Mackenzie-Barrow (vocals / guitar), Adam Peter Smith (guitar &amp; synth) and Kasper Sandstrøm (drums), has spent much of their lifespan on the road. They met as teenagers through the city’s close-knit DIY scene but came together as Divorce in mid-2021, releasing a slew of genre-defiant singles that quickly caught the attention of Hand In Hive (TV Priest, Tancred, Wyldest). The years since have been breathless. In 2023 they signed to Gravity Records (Universal Music) for their acclaimed Heady Metal EP and sold out their first UK headline run off the back of it. Their 2024 schedule was filled with a raft of international festivals, a SXSW showcase, tours with Bombay Bicycle Club, The Vaccines and Everything Everything, rounding off with their biggest headline show to date at London’s Islington Assembly Hall. It wasn’t until they came to demo their debut album, Drive to Goldenhammer, that they finally had the breathing space to sit down as a band, as friends, and block out the rest of the world. “Everything up until that point, as wonderful and surprising and fulfilling as it had been, felt like we were being dragged through a hedge backwards – in a nice way!” says Tiger. The result is a pastoral blend of country, folk and chamber pop that traces the upheaval of the last few years while planting roots in their own sound. “When your life is transient and always moving, you look for that kind of solace in the songs that you write, because that's all you've got that stays constant,” Felix explains. Sonically rich and lyrically open-hearted, Drive to Goldenhammer sees Divorce assemble a shelter for themselves amid the chaos and leave the front door open to everyone.

Pink Steam Music Video Release

Lillie West has always made her music in response to an itchiness to always be moving, but as she developed a burgeoning desire to settle, she found the surprise realization that steadiness can beget creativity. That evolutionary tension is what fuels much of her new album as Lala Lala, Heaven 2.&nbsp;For many years, West lived in Chicago, where she established her project Lala Lala as part of that city’s indie scene, releasing several records on the Sub Pop imprint Hardly Art. Those albums, The Lamb and I Want the Door to Open, were powerful statements from a curious artist: catchy guitar-pop songs about being stuck in the ups and downs of life, the struggle to stay sober, to leave town, to blow up your life.&nbsp; West left Chicago to search for more and, in the process, wrote her new album, Heaven 2. On her journey, she landed in New Mexico, where she lived off the grid in Taos. “It was very challenging, freezing, infested with poisonous animals. But it’s still the most beautiful and magical place I’ve ever been and I dream about it all the time,” West says. “I worked on organic vegetable farms and hiked in the mountains a lot, looked for staurolites, and sometimes rode horses. Cut off the top of my thumb at work. Those are just some things that happened.” She then made her way to Iceland, where she lived for two years on and off, with the off being in London, where she grew up. In Iceland, she was in “a residency at LunGa school in a tiny town called Seydisfjordur, where the sun never rose in the winter.” Eventually, she made her way to Reykjavik and settled in with the music community and released an instrumental album (If I Were A Real Man I Would Be Able To Break The Neck Of A Suffering Bird) before heading to Los Angeles, where she has, almost surprisingly, fallen in love and found herself settled. It’s been a good place to live, not specifically because she likes L.A. or because she doesn’t like L.A., but because she’s discovered that, “wherever you go, there you are,” she says. “I wish there was a cooler way to say that.” Fortunately, there is, and, again and again, on Heaven 2, she says it. On the single, “Even Mountains Erode,” West sings, “There are symbols and signs, you're missing your life,” which West says is about learning to slow down. To stop and smell the flowers. There are flowers wherever you live. She produced that song and the album, with Jay Som’s Melina Duterte, who provides a strong punchiness as a bed for West’s warm, rounded vocals. West says the relationship between the two of them was telepathic. It created a bold and confident album that West says would be perfectly appropriate to box to. Duterte and West performed almost all of the album’s instruments, with a few crucial guests, like Sen Morimoto on saxophone on the opening track, “Car Anymore,” and a bridge written by Porches’ Aaron Maine on the title track, “Heaven 2.” That song “is very melodramatic,” says West. “I was definitely feeling very doomed and defeated when I wrote it.” And the song does start with a bit of gloom. But it is lush, with West’s vocal building and building like a cloud swelling before a storm. The synths sweep across the song, the drums patter like raindrops on a car roof. And then the whole sky opens up, with a massive instrumental outro that feels like all your sins are being washed away.&nbsp; Catharsis is not only about the pain, but the escape that happens when you free yourself of it. And so there are moments of bold joy on the album, too. “Arrow,” which samples the French electro pop band La Femme, moves fast, and its swiftness and pleasure feel like running towards something, not away. “None of this was supposed to happen,” West sings, as the song races away from her. It wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did. “It’s such a basic spiritual thing,” West says, “Resistance is the root of all suffering, and I did not know that. I thought that I could dictate the course of my life.” Of course, like everyone else, she could not. Wherever you go, there you are.

Like many Seattle bands before them, Summer School started off with humble beginnings, practicing in odd-spaces and overcrowded garages throughout the city. Originally a project by Joseph Carag (formerly Ragamuffs) and Legend Pham, Summer School has branched out into a five-piece indie group since forming in 2024. Carag and Pham were first introduced to each other through mutual friend and producer - Cameron Kuwada (Kuwada) who paired the two due to their connections to the islands, having both lived in Hawaii at different times. The duo soon recruited drummer Andrew Chegash (Apex, NC), guitarists Tyler Parson (Bend, OR) and Joseph Son (Raleigh, NC).The band released their debut EP ‘Wish I Never Met You’ in 2025 which was followed by performances at Austin's South by Southwest and Toronto's North by Northeast. Summer School was featured on the Recording Academy's AAPI heritage month, as a rising artist with members from pan-Asian backgrounds. The band has opened on festivals with major artist such as Khalid, Daniel Caesar and The Beaches. Summer School is currently working on their second EP, set to release in 2026.

Rituals of Mine

When Maria Maita-Keppeler was in college, she&nbsp;studied the ancient art of Japanese woodblock printmaking. “By the nature of the medium, you have to be bold,” she says — but, you also have to be delicate, deliberate, exacting. All those little cuts on their own add up to the whole — to a picture, a story, a life.&nbsp;The Japanese-American singer-songwriter applies that same approach to her band, MAITA; she only writes songs she intends to finish. She only makes cuts in service of the whole. And once the debris has been blown away, the melodies remain — vibrant, sharp, and often heartbreaking. The band’s latest LP,&nbsp;want, which was released in 2024 via Fluff &amp; Gravy Records, is all of the above. A razor’s edge look at a relationship in turmoil, the record serves to strip away everything undesired in Maita-Keppeler’s life, leaving behind only that titular word: want. “The album allowed me this opportunity to be a little more courageous about my feelings,” Maita-Keppeler says. “I grew up feeling very much like the peacekeeper. Now, I have to be really assertive about what I want for myself.”&nbsp; MAITA's first record,&nbsp;Best Wishes, was released via Kill Rock Stars in May 2020 — but it was bittersweet, according to Maita-Keppeler. The album came out peak-pandemic and they were unable to tour. And since COVID threw a wrench in the works, the band felt a bit like they had to reintroduce themselves with 2022’s&nbsp;I Just Want to Be Wild for You, which they recorded back in 2020. “This record was about how people can lose connection — whether with yourself, a partner or the world around you,” Maita-Keppeler says. “There’s this disillusionment that can happen in our modern world. But there’s this wealth of passion that lies underneath those moments — a desperation that's not being fulfilled.” As restrictions loosened MAITA began to see the benefit of rave reviews from&nbsp;KEXP,&nbsp;SPIN,&nbsp;FLOOD Magazine, and&nbsp;NPR’s&nbsp;Bob Boilen. They toured the US and Europe and played shows opening for the likes of Mirah, Blind Pilot, Horse Feathers, Typhoon, and garnered featured slots at SXSW and Treefort as well. Meanwhile, the band was working on polishing up their third LP,&nbsp;want, which Maita-Keppeler penned during the isolation of the pandemic. A fiercely private songwriter who draws mostly on her own experience for song fodder, Maita-Keppeler dug deeper than ever into her heart. “This album feels like the most cohesive of any batch of songs that I'd written, because the slate was pretty blank in terms of what was going on around me,” she recalls. “I had the chance to feel all these feelings without a lot of distractions from the outside world.” Recorded at Echo Echo in Portland, Oregon in the winter of 2022, the record serves as the most crystallized of MAITA’s works thus far; like Maita-Keppeler’s screen prints, which she does for each song she writes, it’s a stark, arresting image of a place in lost time. “We felt like the songwriting had a kind of visceral quality to it,” she says. “I love high highs and low lows.” Through it all, though, runs the theme of&nbsp;wanting. “These songs all explore desire within the framework of a long-term relationship where you're just trying to push and dig deeper,” Maita-Keppeler says. “I feel like not a lot of songs really get to the core of those struggles and how nuanced they actually are.”St Yuma BioSt. Yuma began its journey in 2015 in Seattle, WA.

PARTYOF2 welcome everyone to their table. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve been, or when you got there. The group’s hybrid of R&amp;B, hip-hop, rock, trap, and alternative is just as inclusive as their core ethos is. The Los Angeles group—Jadagrace and SWIM—architect the kinds of anthems that make you feel like you’re a part of something bigger, emboldening you with bangers in the process. They’re not simply creating music; they’re creating a community. 15 years ago, Jadagrace and SWIM forged a rock-solid friendship as they respectively pursued their dreams. Eventually, they unlocked once-in-a-lifetime chemistry during their time together in grouptherapy, releasing a string of projects, collaborating with Tinashe and Rejjie Snow, and performing to packed houses. They expanded on this foundation by introducing PARTYOF2 to the masses in early 2025. Right out of the gate, the pair struck a chord with the we owe you an explanation EP. Inciting tastemaker applause from the likes of CLASH, Earmilk, UPROXX, and many others, office raved, “Through bursts of saturated color and their own poetic, quick-fire lyricism, they’re crafting a space where sharp social observations and pure sonic joy can co-exist,” and Teen Vogue went as far as to hail it as “their best music yet.” Simultaneously, “POSER” popped off to the tune of 10 million-plus Spotify streams. Rallying an ardent audience behind them, generating tens of millions of streams, and receive widespread praise, the duo invite any and all listeners into their circle with their 2025 full-length debut LP, AMERIKA’S NEXT TOP PARTY [Def Jam Recordings].

PARTYOF2: AMERIKA’S NEXT TOP PARTY! TOUR

Jo Hirabayashi–the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer behind Canada’s Jo Passed–is very much alive, even though his sophomore album, Away, took eight years to come out. You can’t, or shouldn’t, rush a good thing, and this collection of 11 layered indie rockers is as honest and real as it gets.&nbsp; With his 2018 debut LP Their Prime (Sub Pop) long behind him, Away showcases Hirabayashi at his creative best, and is the culmination of a long and arduous road on which he suffered burnout and anxiety as he scrapped various versions before arriving at its final state. “Away is a process record–about processing, about the process of making music, and the process of navigating one's own psyche,” he notes.&nbsp; Centered around Hirabayashi’s mental health journey and recovery in between releases, the songs of Away range from existential to deeply personal, all with a lighthearted touch and explored via a knotty, dynamic sound that might’ve occurred if Elliott Smith had jammed with Brian Eno in the ‘70s. Hirabayashi leads on vocals, bass, guitar and keys, along with Téa Mei on additional vocals, drums by Mac Lawrie and Justin Devries, strings by Meredith Bates, and woodwinds and saxophones by Andromeda Monk. The resulting album is like an impasto painting, layered on thick then scraped and glazed. The necessary soft cuddle in all this stress and uncertainty unfolds with the standout single "Ico" is dedicated to Téa Mei's cherished 15-year-old Siberian long-haired cat, co-parented by Hirabayashi for five years. Written during the pandemic, “Ico” chronicles the simple stress-free life of the feline’s day, while subtly zeroing in on the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy and being in the moment, as well as reflections on philosopher Søren Kierkegaard’s The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air. “The lockdown era of the still-present COVID pandemic is already a kind of retro-referenced universe, and everyone seemed to write their own songs from that time. This one is mine,” Hirabayashi explains. “But more than that, this song is about my cat–her freedom in repetition, the steady rhythm of her days. Her calm, grounding presence became both a mentor and a lifesaver for me during those years, and I owe everything to her. Sadly, she’s been diagnosed with lung cancer and kidney failure. I'm hoping that I can get this record out and that song out before she passes away. Everything else on the album is this dark, dreary exploration of anxiety and human fixation, and I felt it needed something that was more positive.” As such, Away heavily plays on themes of ego death, death itself, and general loss. “J Walking” explores the notion of being stuck–paralyzed by imagined external voices peering within and preventing oneself from moving forward. “Precious Word” focuses on a person’s fixation with words and labels while grounding their identity, while “Dizzy Izzy” addresses a falling out with a friend. “Too Much Thought” returns to anxiety and losing yourself in your own thought patterns. Yes, it’s been a long eight years…six of those spent in therapy.&nbsp; Starting his music career on the West Coast, Hirabayashi became entrenched in Vancouver’s DIY music scene in his late teens before moving across the country to Montreal, then back to Vancouver. He started Jo Passed in 2015, a solo project that always had a dedicated touring lineup. They released a couple of EPs, Up and Out, before coming to the attention of iconic label Sub Pop and respected Canadian indie label Royal Mountain. Recording partly at his home studio, Thor's Palace in Vancouver, then finishing up and mixing at KW Studios, the resultant Their Prime was hailed as “a brilliant and unexpected ride from start to finish” by DIY Magazine, and enabled Jo Passed to tour with Wolf Parade in 2019. “It was one of the first times that I actually got to open for a band that I loved and was influenced by,” he says. But behind the scenes, there were some interpersonal problems. He cancelled a tour and the band dissolved. “It definitely triggered my realization that I was experiencing very hard burnout,” reflects Hirabayashi.&nbsp;&nbsp;What transpired over the next eight years was a lot of time away from his creative pursuits. Hirabayashi began to focus on supporting other artists through composition, production, and videography/filmmaking. During this time, Away was written, re-written, some scrapped, some reworked, and some left to contemplate then return to later with fresh ears. There was also a year-long break where he didn’t even listen to the album. Yet despite all the challenges, Hirabayashi emerged refreshed.&nbsp; “One of the biggest factors was taking space to actually find myself creatively,” says Hirabayashi. “I turned a tough time into creativity and found my way back to myself. Two years later, I've got an album I love. Taking that time was worth it, and I hope this record inspires others to be kind to themselves and patient with their own pace.”

As crushed, musicians Bre Morell and Shaun Durkan make maximalist dream pop music for themselves. Recording out of various homes, not fixed to any single location (Morell from Texas, now based in Los Angeles, and Durkan in Portland, Oregon), they write the songs they want to hear, tuning from shared taste for trip-hop, Britpop, electronica, and the canon of ‘90s alt radio, a desire for emotionality, and an instinct for when it sounds right and honest; when it means something real to them.Their full-length debut, no scope, embodies their trust in one another and in their craft. A “no scope” kill in the video game lexicon is achieved by shooting a sniper rifle at close range without scoping in on your target, an apt metaphor for two artists following their pop impulses, shooting from the hip with precision. “It might also mean like, having no future,” jokes Morell, “getting no-scoped by life.” The reality of failure looms in most creative pursuits, perhaps more pronounced the further into your field you get. Several musical lives and midnight transmissions have led Morell and Durkan to this project. And on the triumphant no scope, crushed take life’s best shots with their strongest work, wielding melodic, open-hearted hooks through a maze of breakbeats and spliced sound design with unprecedented immediacy and clarity. Next level, unlocked.no scope follows extra life, the 2023 EP and debut collaboration between Morell, who also fronts the band Temple of Angels (Run For Cover Records), and Durkan, who has produced for others (Topographies, Young Prisms) following the 2010s run of his former band Weekend (Slumberland Records). Their first batch of songs together saw a groundswell of support, finding early fans in Pitchfork, NPR, and Ghostly International, who signed the band and gave extra life a wider physical release in 2024. crushed capped the year with their first-ever shows in the UK, and tested new material and live arrangements in early 2025 as the album was finalized.

When Casey Lowery’s grandfather passed away in 2023, he left him a caravan –&nbsp;an old holiday home on the English coastline, which contained a history Casey hadn’t previously thought about. But when he arrived, moving in temporarily with his dog, removing himself from the metropolitan music industry he’d spent over half a decade trying to make sense of, it unlocked something within him. There, amongst the company of pensioners and nature, the final pieces of lekkerland, his debut album, came together. The album, Casey says, is his effort to “reconnect with my past a bit,” and a reflection on the kind of community once promised to him by a music industry system he’s trying, in a more modest, loving form, to reshape and make work for him. “Lekker” itself is an Afrikaans term Casey picked up on the road and means ‘something pleasing’. After years of recalibrating,Casey has found a way to make something that pleases himself as much as it pleases others.&nbsp; Casey was born in Chesterfield, a market town in the English midlands, an only child with a penchant for the spotlight. Growing up, he was exposed to the greats of early 00s English pop culture, like Gareth Gates and Robbie Williams – two men who set the mould for what he thought he wanted to be. His mother, keen for him to follow that musical path, signed him up to clarinet classes. He played for eight years, all while his musical taste became a little more refined, listening to pop-leaning indie bands, before eventually becoming an Arctic Monkeys boy. “But I can't say it ever crossed my mind that I wanted to be a professional clarinettist,” Casey says. “I just wanted money.”&nbsp;Skateland:Dorian Williams II, known professionally as Skateland, is an American singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Austin, TX.

Described as a "bedroom pop mastermind", Williams blends "dreamy indie pop, cathartic synth pop, and lush indie rock for a remarkable listen" (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://b4182b3f.streaklinks.com/Cd9B6Cy_P7CeQa-nKQOuzF0H/https%3A%2F%2Fearmilk.com%2F2024%2F11%2F18%2Fskateland-chats-new-ep-sxsw-tour-rider-and-more-interview%2F">via Earmilk</a>).&nbsp;Fresh off opening for Foster the People in October 24, Williams released his second EP "<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://b4182b3f.streaklinks.com/Cd9B6Cy-fsWjhnsSwQ1ywBfp/https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Falbum%2F6s71Y4AFboqd0pUlr7d2vs%3Fsi%3D10lCJlRhRU6J_Zs9082mWw%26nd%3D1%26dlsi%3Ddf28382095ee49f2">Joyce Howell, How are You?</a>" The project is a "time capsule of Skateland's past year as an artist that grapples with insecurity, metamorphosis, and all-too-familiar brain rot," laden with "ear-catching melodies and vividly ethereal soundscapes strike a nerve that satisfy the indie-kid's sentimental cravings."
