WHEN YOU HEAR music like this-the wild, loose, and woozy drags of guitar; the impossible beauty of it all-what kind of landscape presents itself in your mind? Vistas big enough to be forgotten in. Deserts which stretch back to the beginning of time. Infinite horizons melting into pink bokehs. It's Texas, isn't it?Formed in 2017 in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, Glare aren't so much genre traditionalists as they are painters of wide realms and intense moods. The four-piece band has already accumulated a large audience, both in the flesh with their reputation for sell-out shows, and on the internet, a place where people go to short-circuit feelings through their screens.Sunset Funeral, the band's debut LP, is a fog of dreamy grief, where feeling supersedes language. It's music, as guitarist Toni Ordaz puts it, "for people who don't know how to talk about how they feel." An album that's been years in the making, Sunset Funeral is a document of unspeakable grief, charting the process of mourning and how it travels through our subconscious and dreams.One of the great charms of Sunset Funeral, and of Glare overall, is how they approach such a large, celestial sound with humble materials. Among the shoegaze revivalists, Glare come to the canvas with a more resourceful, DIY perspective than many of their peers. Glare's music is too sublime, too huge to sound like it came from any kind of manmade instrument, tiny amp box or otherwise.On first listen, Sunset Funeral—which scans as vast as desert sand—may overwhelm the senses. But look closer, and you'll find a multiplicity of heavily crushed textures, treasures. 'Guts', with its sweetly chugging guitar line, dissolves the borders between bliss and despair. '2 Soon 2 Tell', one of the album's most gauzily romantic tracks, is both tense and transcendent. Nü Burn, a crunchy and lilting number, harkens back to the band's grittier hardcore roots. But even when they deign to go hard, you can hear a softening in Glare's sound compared to any of their previous releases, aswell as an attemot to lean into more traditional pop song structures. The music drifts heavenward, to be sure, though it's still tethered down by steady foundations. It's beautiful. It's humid. It's delirious. It's music made by people whose feelings speak louder than words.

Nola Synth Cult Presents: 2/15/26 Modulation Sessions

The Los Angeles-based trio, Nuovo Testamento, is lighting up the dance floor with their uniquely dark italo disco-flavored pop hits. Following the release of the coldwave cult favorite Exposure EP in 2019 on Avant! Records, their acclaimed full length, New Earth, exploded onto the scene with its graceful touch of 1980s-influenced club elements, contagious rhythms and the powerful punch of synthpop. The release was widely considered across genres to be one of 2021’s best underground albums. With the release of their highly anticipated second LP in early 2023, Love Lines, Nuovo Testamento continued to explore the light, the dark and exultant personal power in what will undoubtedly become an instant dance classic. Following a celebrated remix for Scowl and full North American tours supporting the Soft Moon and Molchat Doma, Nuovo Testamento is on tour in the US and Europe throughout 2024.

Despite coming up in Australia, indie rock band Last Dinosaurs are an international enterprise and have the track record to prove it. Brothers Lachlan and Sean Caskey, along with Michael Sloane, have played sold-out headlining shows and festivals across the US, UK, Europe, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Australia. The success of studio albums In a Million Years, Wellness, Yumeno Garden, From Mexico With Love, and KYORYU have taken them around the world and back, playing notable festivals like Lollapalooza, Corona Capital, All Things Go Festival, and more alongside artists like Florence + the Machine, Bad Suns, Foals, Matt &amp; Kim, Foster the People, Vacations, and more.2024 was a landmark year for Last Dinosaurs. After the release of their ambitious cyberpunk-inspired concept album KYORYU, alongside a world-building companion manga comic, the Dinosshared the Yumeno Garden Alternate Versions EP. The project shed light on classic songs fromtheir 2018 album, Yumeno Garden, featuring international artists they’ve toured with, includingGrrrl Gang, Isla De Caras, Oh! Flamingo, Diamante Eléctrico and more. After traveling the worldseveral times, touring North America, Southeast Asia, and beyond, the Dinos made theirtriumphant debut in South America, performing in Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Chile.Now, in 2025, Last Dinosaurs are proud to announce a reimagined and re-recorded version oftheir album, Wellness. Alongside five previously unreleased songs, they unveil Wellnxss, set forrelease on February 13th via Nettwerk.Member Sean Caskey reflects: “Ten years ago, Lach, Sloane, Dan, and I released our sophomorealbum ‘WELLNESS!’ It was the second chance for four boys from Brisbane State High to makeanother leap in the music world. I used to look back on this album as a bit of a failure, as therewas so much pressure to follow up ‘In a Million Years,’ but now I see it as the catalyst for the waywe make music today. It forced us to completely change our approach to recording music bydoing it all ourselves. This was after we dropped the demos on YouTube; the reaction to those lo-fi recordings was a massive surprise to us. That really inspired us to have more confidence in ourown abilities and was the driving force behind ‘Yumeno Garden.’ We’re so thankful to our fans,because it’s your positive energy that motivates us to keep pushing ourselves in the direction weneed to go.These days, Wellness seems to be one of our fan favourites. We never used to play ‘Apollo’ live,but a few years later, it became one of the most enjoyable songs to play. We get requests to playa lot of the songs from Wellness, so we try to squeeze them into the set wherever we can. Itmeans a lot to us that these songs mean something to you. I’ve dwelled on them a lot lately, andsome other songs from that same era that never made the album, and we’re looking forward toshowing you some special records soon.”

Noted for throaty, yearning vocals that accompany his swimmy indie soul-pop, Yellow Days is the performance alias of British musician George van den Broek. After some early releases during his teenage years, he began to gain traction with 2017’s full-length Is Everything Okay in Your World? Switching locales to Los Angeles, his follow-up, A Day in a Yellow Beat, appeared in 2020. Two years later, the pandemic-inspired EP trilogy Slow Dance &amp; Romance, Apple Pie, and Inner Peace was steeped in psychedelic soul. Born in Manchester, England, and raised in Haselmere, van den Broek’s musical endeavors began when he got a guitar for Christmas at the age of 11. With influences that include Ray Charles, Mac DeMarco, and Thundercat, he started releasing stand-alone singles as a teen in late 2015. His debut EP, Harmless Melodies, arrived in November 2016. Yellow Days continued to release periodic singles in 2017, some of which appeared on his debut LP, Is Everything Okay in Your World?, that October. It featured a guest spot by hip-hop artist Rejjie Snow. Early the next year, “Gap in the Clouds,” from his first EP, reached a broader audience when it accompanied the trailer for the second season of Donald Glover’s show Atlanta. Yellow Days followed up in April 2018 with the single “The Way Things Change” and a week’s worth of club shows in the U.S. that quickly sold out, before continuing the tour in Europe. The musician’s sophomore effort arrived in 2020: titled A Day in a Yellow Beat, the project was written and recorded primarily in L.A., with van den Broek sourcing new inspiration from local collaborators. Yellow Days’ next undertaking was a set of three self-produced EPs released throughout 2022 and consisting of a combined 17 songs. Slow Dance &amp; Romance began the series in April, with Apple Pie following in July, and Inner Peace closing out the project in September. Conceived and recorded during the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic, they were said to represent a catalog of his “mindset in lockdown.” ~ Marcy Donelson

The weight of change taunts our periphery, smearing lipstick across a heated cheek before those lips have had a chance to say how they felt, really. A blue-black polaroid, held in a pocket, barely makes shapes of its faces before someone takes another photo. Songwriter Al Olender tries to grasp these brief moments in slow-motion, to live in them for just a little while, but finds that the tighter she holds on, the more these frames fall into a soupy blur. Change is our only constant, but what if we wanted to steep in the now? What if we could stay right here? Olender captures the anxieties of an ever-moving world on her second full-length album The Worrier, where all are invited to mourn the fleeting nature of our experiences and yell into the ether.&nbsp; She has never shied away from the goopy mess that comes with laying your heart on the line. On her 2022 debut album, Easy Crier, Olender stared the truth right in the face and got to know the all-encompassing shadow of grief. She learned to stop lying and to really live in deep sincerity, no matter how shaky or silly it could feel. By stepping into this boundless reality, Olender connected with herself and those closest to her more than she ever had. Now, after a few years on the road touring solo in her beloved Mazda, opening for the likes of Bonny Light Horseman, Langhorne Slim, Rayland Baxter, John Moreland, Shovels &amp; Rope, Deer Tick and Lucius, she finds herself aching for those connections to stay still, to be just the same as when she left them. To chase your dream, to make art and see the world, often means loosening your grip on the very things that allowed you to do that in the first place. For Olender, that’s a tough one to swallow. “It’s a new season of my life but how do I hold on to everything I love?” she asks. “Is change almost worse than the loss I've experienced?” After the sudden death of her older brother Keith, Olender found reprieve in her songwriting and built a beautiful community in her home of Kingston, NY. Now older than Keith was when he passed, Olender finds that as she enters new phases of her life––ones that Keith never got to experience––new forms of grief and worry bubble to the surface. “Every year is a little further from him and that’s the sad hard truth. He is never far from any of these songs.” As she has grown, Olender has come to realize that she now loves people in different ways, never holding back from discovering every aspect of herself: anxiety, sexuality and anarchy, both in herself and in her relationships. Although she’s in an almost constant state of worry, she can also hold the beauty and luck that her life beholds. The Worrier nourishes these contradictions. Olender wrote these songs in motion while trying to hold still: highway scenes speeding past a driver side window; quick-scrolling through phone photo albums; running through the airport to say goodbye; kissing a stranger in a new town; calling a friend out of the blue. It felt necessary that these kaleidoscopes of swirling memory be captured in an instant, much like the moments that are gone too fast. Olender recorded them in just under a week with producer Nick Kinsey (Waxahatchee, Kevin Morby, Scott McMicken, Elvis Perkins) at Chicken Shack Recording. She wanted the album to feel human, to hear each crackle, strum or phone alarm and so, they recorded live to tape, just Olender and her friends in one room, one take at a time.&nbsp; The Worrier feels like a montage in a beloved rom-com, capturing both Olender’s messiest and most beautiful moments. The rootsy belly of “The Cyclone,” points to the butterflies of first crushes, while spotlighting the gut-punching reality that it might not work out the way you want it to. “I wanna text you but it’s desperate, I’ll pretend I don’t care,” she spits over bluesy strums. It’s that universal urge to be a cool girl but deep down, we all just want to be noticed and loved. “Spring Fever” sprints through a street-lit city, trying to make it to the person you’ve been dreaming about. It’s a coming-of-age chapter, embracing sexuality and lust in all its delicious glory as its urgent percussion mimics the cravings that come with a connection. It begs the question: what if we didn’t think about what could go wrong and instead, dive right in? The sweet, star-drenched “Matter of the Heart” tries to tighten the grip on adult friendships, aching about the ever-evolving responsibilities and choices that can get in the way of true tenderness.&nbsp; Olender laments: “We’re not enemies / We’re just strangers / I don’t know which one / Is more dangerous,” highlighting how friend break-ups carve deeper scars than romantic ones.&nbsp; Olender has crafted an album that captures our most important moments but doesn’t try to create meaning or resolution. These are brief, beautiful glimpses into the characters that adorn our stories, nourishing the person we become or hope to be. “I've been so good at pushing things away and not confronting them and then losing people,” Olender explains. “In this season of life, the best part is that I can talk; even in the hard moments, even crying on FaceTime, even being away. I've been lucky to have such incredible women that have given me chances and let me fail and let me disappear, and still, they have not abandoned me.” The Worrier is the chance to be a better version of ourselves. It says: we’re still here and we’re trying our best.- Sammy Maine

When the Venn diagram of passion, friendship, identity, and artistry collide, it can feel as if fighting words are spitting from your veins. And as postmodern society crumbles, Die Spitz giddily bounce between a dozen different ways to push back. If the world of rock music were an ice cream shop, the Austin quartet have sampled each flavor, flipped the freezer over, and started dancing with the employees they helped unionize. On their debut album, Something to Consume (released Sept 12 via Third Man Records), Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe De St. Aubin, Eleanor Livingston, and Kate Halter fight against the inescapable consumption that surrounds life. “There’s a political side to it, but addiction and love can also be all-consuming,” Livingston says. And as the foursome trade off instruments, swapping songwriting and vocal duties, and generating powerful songwriting in concussive bursts, Die Spitz have created their own little pocket of the world where we can all stand on the edge together.&nbsp;That unity comes in part from the deep bonds between the 22-year-olds. All four are Austin natives, with Schrobilgen and Livingston having met in preschool, befriending Halter in middle school, and immediately bringing De St. Aubin into their inner circle when they formed the band in 2022. The group was initially just looking to find reasons to hang out more often, and decided to start a band after a late-night viewing of the Mötley Crüe movie The Dirt. Though they’ve only been playing together a few years (not to mention Halter only learning to play bass to start the band), Something to Consume shows a maturity and technical prowess always wielded in service of their profound friendship.&nbsp;The group settled on the name Die Spitz over a “brown bag of Fireball”, opting for the feminine German definite article in place of the English. “It reminds me of the Grim Reaper spitting,” Livingston jokes. At their first live shows, they paired originals with covers from some of their inspirations: Black Sabbath, Pixies, Mudhoney, PJ Harvey, and Nirvana. The beguiling "Pop Punk Anthem" somehow encapsulates elements throughout that large musical swath, building from roiling verses to a growled chorus. “It may sound like a love song at first, but when the beat kicks in it’s the obsession that takes over,” Schrobilgen says. “The words ‘you’re a part of me’ sound loving but it can be an insane emotion and privilege over someone else’s life.”&nbsp;As if their closeness as a band weren’t enough, the members of Die Spitz have also intermittently been roommates and still live near each other. “We call it sitcom life,” Livingston laughs. That said, the Die Spitz TV show would have a significantly different soundtrack to your usual sitcom fare. The Austinites express their ideas through a blend of classic punk, hardcore, metal, alt rock and more. The group have become known for their riotous live shows, where dueling cartwheels, Halter playing bass mid-crowdsurf, Schrobilgen unleashing a growling bark, and Livingston posing with the microphone on top of the venue’s bar or climbing into the rafters could happen at any moment. Pairing their mind-melting gigs with even more impressive songs has led to stints opening for (and rivaling the energy of) bands like OFF!, Amyl and the Sniffers, Viagra Boys, and Sleater-Kinney.&nbsp;That shapeshifting strength comes into full view on the explosive “Throw Yourself to the Sword”, a song that raises a righteous fist of empowerment over thrash guitar. “Throw yourself/ To thesword,” the start-stop chorus begins, before taking a more modern turn. “What’s it like knowing/ None of you bitches can compete?” Livingston sees the song as an important reminder to let go of insecurities and embrace the power you have over yourself—something that unifies the Die Spitz catalog. “Be the bad bitch you are amongst the mundane and use your voice as a young person,” she says. “Don’t let these old fools tell you you can’t do anything.”&nbsp;Whether on the punk chug of "RIDING WITH MY GIRLS" or the syrupy grunge of "Go Get Dressed", Something to Consume moves with rapturous conviction thanks in part to the deft production hand of Studio 4’s Will Yip. Though only recently in their 20s, Die Spitz’s impressive musicianship ties them clearly to a long lineage of frustrated people hoping to inspire change. “Some people aren’t interested in being political activists via music, but it weighs on me heavily and I feel misaligned with my calling if I don’t,” De St. Aubin says. “The four of us are free spirits with multiple interests, and there’s no limit or power dynamic that can derail us.”&nbsp;The thrumming “Voir Dire” embodies that expressive strength, an acoustic-driven jam that airs frustrations with American globalism. “Unless we’re part of the few in power, we’ll someday be victimized and regret that we didn’t act now,” De St. Aubin adds. “America brings war on marginalized people in our own country and other lands, and being complacent will not be comfortable forever.” Elsewhere, the grimy and pained “Punishers” explores the frustration and ache of a relationship that just won’t work despite best intentions—two people punishing each other instead of just letting go. But even when they’re tackling these sort of impactful themes, Die Spitz infuse the proceedings with a golden warmth. These aren’t songs of vicious mockery, but charged rallying calls—which in turn ties back to the band’s origin story. “It was a joke that went too far,” Halter smirks. “We never thought it was going to be a real thing.”&nbsp;Across 11 tracks, Something to Consume contains multitudes and yet feels of a singular piece, an expansive and expressive set unified in its camaraderie and freedom. “We depend on our freedom—freedom to do what we want, present the ideas we want, make the music we want,” Livingston says. “Whether it’s based in metal or something soft, no matter which of us wrote the song, we all contribute and work together. As a person, I don’t have a strong ego or voice, butwithin this band each one of us is capable of so much more.”

The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles… not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry’s game. It all started in 1985 when <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="wixui-rich-text__text" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Gedge">David Lewis Gedge</a> boarded a National Express coach in London with 500 records packed into a pair of his mother’s suitcases and, in this fashion, delivered the band’s debut single Go Out And Get ‘Em, Boy! to a distribution company in Yorkshire. That pioneering spirit has been at the core of the band’s philosophy ever since. From George Best, “an unmitigated delight” [NME], the first full-length release on their own Reception Records onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own.&nbsp;With their early releases The Wedding Present had acquired a reputation for bittersweet, breathtakingly honest love songs immersed in whirlwind guitars, so it was extraordinary that Ukrainski Vistupi V Johna Peela, with the band exploring traditional Eastern European folk music, should be their major label debut for RCA Records. “(They) carry off what is basically a bold experiment with verve” [NME]. However, this was soon followed by the more traditionally incendiary Bizarro, “simply unbeatable” [Melody Maker] which featured their first hit single Kennedy.

The Wedding Present: Seamonsters 35th Anniversary Tour

Like their name suggests, Model/Actriz seek to channel raw emotions into striking new forms. Their debut record Dogsbody was sexy, dark, and humid, full of eerie passages and veiled menace. Model/Actriz’s sophomore album Pirouette, which was co-produced and mixed by Seth Manchester and mastered by Matt Colton, their collaborators on Dogsbody, swerves out of the maze and directly into the spotlight. It is Dogsbody’s equally accomplished, but much more self-possessed sister record – thumping and immediate rather than dark and obscure. Haden no longer vamps from the shadows but at the very front of the stage – and often in the very thick of the crowd – commanding the music’s chaotic center with a poise that channels Grace Jones and Lady Gaga. “Like ‘matinee’ or ‘seraglio’” he pouts on “Departures,” “all I want is to be beautiful.” On standout track “Cinderella,” the singer’s strutting bravado suddenly gives way to crushing vulnerability – as he stares into a love interest’s eyes, he recounts the childhood shame of backing out of having a Cinderella-themed birthday party, a psychic scar that he’s still able to trace over years later. The inventiveness of the band’s cohesive musicianship is evident on “Poppy,” with Haden’s lyrics capturing the full scope of their ability to fluctuate between instrumental squalls and barreling, dissonant dance music: “as flesh is made in marble/as marble captures softness/as softness holds a violence/within a pure expression.” Aaron Shapiro, Ruben Radlauer, and Jack Wetmore are a fearsome unit, rearranging the floor and the ceiling of rock music, with punishment and uplift coming from the jagged but interlocking complexity of each band member responding to one another. “Be embodied,” Haden whispers at the beginning of “Departures,” as the trill of Wetmore’s guitar and the thump of Radlauer’s drums activate your senses from both high and low ends.Model/Actriz will be joined by&nbsp;Touching Ice, an Electro-Industrial Pop band formed in 2023. Starting as an experiment between friends, Davis Stewart and Dominic Colangelo traced the blurred edge of movement and disruption. But it wasn’t until Abigail Reese joined, adding poetry on like lyrics onto their tracks, that the Los Angeles band crystallized into something whole. At its core, textured guitar riffs and pounding drum machines create a powerful dissonance, while heartfelt, pop-inspired melodies pierce through the chaos—ultimately revealing beauty within the brutal. It’s a reminder that beneath even the harshest frequencies, there can still be something soft. Something worth holding onto.

There’s something kinda magical about naming your band saturdays at your place. Right off the bat, it calls to mind images of collapsing onto a friend’s couch at the end of a long week, and the kind of nights that turn into stories you’ll tell for years to come. For the band from Kalamazoo, Michigan, it’s more than just a name; it’s what’s held them together through college and the strange process of becoming an adult. Whether unpacking tour burnout or the shame of outgrowing your past, they’re constantly rejecting irony in favor of something much bolder: sincerity.&nbsp;On their upcoming second full-length, these things happen (out September 12), saturdays at your place take everything that made their early material resonate—twinkly guitars, heart-on-sleeve songwriting, a distinctly Midwestern ache—and stretch it into something even more resonant. It’s a record about growing up without growing cold, and it’s also a testament to where they’re from, both literally and musically; proof that a band with strong hometown roots can still shake the ground.&nbsp;Formed by three friends who met at Western Michigan University, the band—Esden Stafne (vocals/bass), Gabe Wood (vocals/drums), and Mitch Gulish (guitar)—have always used music as a way to map the wretched trajectory of growing up. But on these things happen, they’ve stopped asking for directions and started finding their own way through the chaos. The result is a heartfelt, emotionally chaotic and self-aware glimpse at adulthood in all its many complexities.&nbsp;A lot of inspiration for the record came from Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1999 film, Magnolia. In the movie, strangers' lives collide in a grand way, for no reason. There’s no greater meaning to unfold, just happenstance, and similarly, the album doesn’t offer listeners any new information on what to do once you’ve ascended into adulthood; it simply provides a more relatable cushion.&nbsp;Channeling the gut-punch angst of bands like Modern Baseball and Hot Mulligan, lead single “waste away” is a standout moment about both wishing you were dead AND remembering how much fun life can be, too. Elsewhere, “what am I supposed to do?” finds the band reflecting on individuality and people-pleasing; and “I’d rather be in michigan” is an attempt to capture the struggle of finding stability amidst a nonstop tour cycle.&nbsp;Then there’s the gut-wrenching closing track, “i give in.” A cinematic portrayal of codependency and trauma, it wraps the album in a sort of quiet comfort, one that comes to terms with the shared weight of what we all carry in our day-to-day lives.&nbsp;“I wanted to write that song for a long time,” Gabe says. “I’ve never felt like I was the right person to offer any sort of unique perspective on that kind of situation, I really didn’t want to get it wrong. But being open and honest about it is actually what I needed to finally let go and forgive and move on.”&nbsp;The hype for saturdays at your place first kicked off with their 2023 EP, always cloudy, and has since blossomed into a steadily-building wave of momentum. “tarot cards” instantly had fans on the hook with its undeniable melody and quirky pronunciation, but the entire record has since gone on to cement their place as one of the most exciting modern emo bands around. And while always cloudy was a strong introduction, these things happen marks a decidedly more introspective future for saturdays at your place; it’s also the first music they’ve released since 2023.&nbsp;Overall, these things happen isn’t an album that provides many answers. Instead, it’s a cathartic companion to survival with friends at your side, gear in the trailer, and enough hope to keep showing up. For saturdays at your place, that’s enough.

saturdays at your place w/ Retirement Party and Kerosene Heights

“I could not be alive alone,” a longtime family friend says with a smile. “None of us could be alive alone.”Within the quiet, cascading corners of Pittsburgh lies a community – nothing short of one large family – that spans zip codes, histories, occupations, and generations, always tumbling inwardly into itself, propped up by steadfast pillars of conviction toward spiritual and emotional mutual aid. The kind of earnest community scaffolding that gets bandied about, wielded as conjecture, particularly in an age of increasing fracture through digital sublimation, is alive and quite well within the universe surrounding Merce Lemon.When asked how the city has inspired her creative practice, she responds with a characteristic joke wrapped in an earthen warmth – “There are big hills, three rivers, and more bridges than anywhere in the whole world.” Growing up in a family of art and music in a city with a small, but vigorously supportive scene, Merce has been going to shows here her whole life, even playing them with the “grown up” friends of her parents – as recently as a few years ago, her band was comprised of her own father and his peers in the Pittsburgh music community.Merce took a step back in 2020, after releasing her last album Moonth, to reassess during an era of anxiety and lockdown – even the reliably nourishing exercise of releasing and playing music felt precarious. “I was grappling with what kind of relationship I wanted with music in my life. It was just something I’d always done, and I didn’t want to lose the magic of that – but I was just having less fun.” In this time of restless confusion, she turned her gaze inwardly, down to the roots – figuratively and literally.“I got dirty and slept outside most of the summer. I learned a lot about plants and farming, just writing for myself, and in that time I just slowly accumulated songs.” A never-ending creative hunger, supported by the community framework she’d always been able to depend on, had been newly fertilized by the wide-eyed inspiration that came from plunging her hands into both the earth’s soil and her own. Rooting around for an answer, finding and turning in her palms what had been buried there all along – from this rediscovery, imbued with the vitality of earth’s green magic, Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild sprouted forth.The album emerges, enveloped in propulsive guitars and saccharine-sweet songs of blackbirds and blueberries, from the dead-calm center of a pastoral frenzy in a manner that one could argue as erratic, reckless — a grave misunderstanding, as Merce is just as aware of where she’s being pulled from as she is curious about where to go next. Her sound is built from a reverence and gratitude for the natural world, how paying respect to it charts a clearer path through the choppy waters of the heart. “I can see your relentlessness / in the muddy puddles where retting is / shattering the splintered stalks / where golden braids pour into drops.”They are songs of belonging just as much as they are songs of longing – ”Say I was a lonely gust of wind / could I redirect them,” she muses in “Crow”, forgoing the voyeur in all of our hearts, hoping only to help direct the “murderous flock” as they help direct her. In this music, romantic and familial love rips into and out of itself, barely registering as disparate feelings in a flurry of reckoning. Do not make the mistake of ascribing a gentle nature to these songs, nor Merce herself. There is a fierceness, a persistence in this vulnerability, that is matched in droves by the wildness of her band. In “Backyard Lover,” the strength of reconciling the quiet conflict of a desire for closeness and solitude in equal parts – “I don’t get out much / is being swallowed by a room supposed to feel this way? / Maybe i’ll come out / babe” – is complemented with the gritted promise of “Foolish and Fast” to plow through mountain highways in search of a respite from heartache — “And my love just passing through you / foolish and fast.” For Merce, the only certainty is an endless questioning, roaring straight past a dogwood, never missing the opportunity to watch a petal fluttering to the ground in the rear view.There is an oaken warmth in Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild that makes it easy to love – once wild, still free, honest and familiar. Its genesis is timeless, its restlessness eternal – it is one cohesive yet unanswered question built around, and dependent upon, the life-giving force of nature that came before Merce. The album’s closing track also inspires its title – a lonely ballad of forlorn projection into an unknown future, forever protected by the comforting green of Pittsburgh’s hills, rivers, bridges, and homes: “Old man howling / laughing his teeth out / with the dogs down the hill. And a tree fell / I smell the wood / and the bark is coming off in sheets / I write my words down on it. And honestly / the thoughts of a husband / weighing on me.”

Co-headline tour featuring Pump Action, a drunk backflip off a moving vehicle, executed with perfect form. Simply put, they kick ass. Emanating from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, this group of killers root their approach to the new wave of funk rock in a refined knowledge of jazz fusion techniques and theories- but this is not just a show for jazz kids. With high flying guitar solos and soaring vocals, all rooted in a groove that is anything but restrained, Pump Action honors the breakneck motion of their funk forefathers to make it simply impossible for an audience to stand still. Simply put, Pump Action will leave your jaw on the floor, and you might never pick it up.&nbsp;-Max Indiveri, Funk House ShowsAND The Retrograde Though The Retrograde is not the first band to find inspiration in the classics, they are without a doubt the first to do so with the level of respect and originality that they are speedily becoming synonymous with. while many of their contemporaries with a flair for vintage romantics and beat down tube amps find themselves falling into patterns of imitation rather than inspiration, our Tallahassee boys stay classic but never stale, vintage but never dusty. -Rob Lucchesi

Skerik - Tenor Saxophone, EFX, PercussionBrian Haas - Piano, HarpsichordJames Singleton - Bass, Trumpet, EFXSimon Lott - DrumsSeattle’s beloved subterranean music iconoclast Skerik has long found the city of New Orleans a balm for his inherently subversive musical instincts. Currently calling the Crescent City his second home, the saxophonist fully embraces this dichotomy between the profane and ritualistic with&nbsp;Compersion Quartet, for which he’s joined by pianist Brian Haas, bassist James Singleton and drummer Simon Lott. Recorded in New Orleans, the quartet’s debut collects a series of studio improvisations that are amalgamated in fits and starts of cinematic beauty, syncopated melodism and mystic sonic experimentalism.Compersion Quartet&nbsp;is in many ways an outgrowth of Saucefest, the multimedia festival within a festival—founded and curated by Skerik—that happens annually on the middle Tuesday night of New Orleans Jazzfest when a disparate gathering of local and traveling musicians come together in various configurations for an evening of fearless, no-holds-barred musical collaboration.“The history between the four of us goes way back, but this specific quartet would eventually come together through Saucefest,” explains Skerik. “I met Brian Haas in the early years of his trio Jacob Jazz Odyssey after he heard me with Critters Buggin. I used to play with Simon Lott in Malestrom Trio along with Brian Coogan. They were both part of the early Saucefest events. I started playing with James Singleton on Johnny Vidacovich gigs and in other combinations. He also did some early Saucefest performances. We share a related collective history. We all are from the same mother of music, siblings without rivalry.”&nbsp; Like the green lizard adorning the album’s cover art, just when the listener thinks they’ve captured the essence, its tail detaches and it escapes back into the unknown.“To us, Compersion Quartet means to support each other and everyone on earth. Let’s leave it at that. I want there to be more mystery and less analytical talk about this music,” concludes Skerik. “There’s really no point in trying to describe the indescribable.”<ul><li>FREE SHOW 8-11pm at Breezy’s:</li></ul>Gahdlyke, aka David Polk, is a multi-instrumentalist whose career has traversed genres including jazz, hiphop, EDM, funk, and more.

Shiner has always been about evolution, dodging genre labels and pushing musical boundaries since their inception in the early '90s. Known for their punishing yet&nbsp; melodic approach to rock, the band’s sound has morphed from the raw, untamed&nbsp; energy of their early years to something more refined, layered, and introspective&nbsp; on their latest release, BELIEVEYOUME.&nbsp;Schadenfreude, the band's last record, released just as the world was shutting&nbsp; down in early 2020. "Great timing on our part," says Josh Newton (guitar).&nbsp; "Schadenfreude was dark and maybe a little claustrophobic, which makes sense,&nbsp; in retrospect. This new record, BELIEVEYOUME, feels more open and more&nbsp; immediate. We came in with fewer pre-written ideas and just reacted to each other in real time. Less brooding, more instinct. Still heavy, still weird—just breathing a&nbsp; little more."&nbsp;Recorded over a series of multi-day sessions at bass player / engineer Paul&nbsp; Malinowski’s Kansas City studio (Massive Sound), BELIEVEYOUME took shape&nbsp; quickly and with purpose. "Initially, it was a process of sifting through phone recordings, picking what hit us, and then going straight into the studio to flesh it&nbsp; out,” says Allen Epley (vocals / guitar). “The results felt immediate, with no room&nbsp; for overthinking.” While most of the basic recording was all done live, additional instrumentation was tracked by Josh Newton (guitars / keyboards) at Massive&nbsp; Sound and at his home in LA, and Epley's vocals were tracked at his home studio&nbsp; in Chicago.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once the songs were locked, occasional touring member and mixer&nbsp; Mario Quintero (Spotlights) and Malinowski fine-tuned the mixes before handing&nbsp; the record off to Mike Nolte at Eureka Mastering in Portland. In the end, the band's&nbsp; mix of live, spontaneous energy and post-production prowess shaped the final&nbsp; sound, a blend of the band’s signature heaviness with a newfound openness.&nbsp;Lyrically, BELIEVEYOUME wanders into much more introspective territory,&nbsp; touching on themes of aging, relationships, and escapism. “We really dug into the&nbsp; personal stuff this time,” Epley shares, explaining certain songs explore the dark&nbsp; humor of relationships gone wrong, while other songs center on manipulation,&nbsp; toxic behavior, and our collective unwillingness to face what is coming. As a&nbsp; whole, the record is a reflection on the struggles and contradictions in life, all&nbsp; wrapped up in Shiner’s signature blend of heavy riffs and haunting melodies. The&nbsp; title BELIEVEYOUME comes from a phrase in “Asleep in the Trunk,” one of the&nbsp; record’s standout tracks. “It’s one of those phrases that’s tossed around so much&nbsp; it’s lost its meaning,” Epley explains. “But when you step back and think about it, it&nbsp; can mean so many things in the context of a relationship. It could be about&nbsp; believing in yourself, in the other person, or in the relationship as a whole, or it&nbsp;could be about the loss of belief.” That ambiguity is central to the album’s themes,&nbsp; relationships that ebb and flow, and the complexity of human connection.&nbsp;With BELIEVEYOUME, Shiner has created a record that feels both immediate and&nbsp; timeless. It’s the band at their most honest, raw, and self&nbsp;aware. While Shiner's sonic influences continue to evolve, they remain rooted in&nbsp; the shared experiences that have always bonded them as musicians. “Honestly,&nbsp; the biggest influence is just the band itself,” says Malinowski. “Our sound has&nbsp; grown and changed so much over the years, and that evolution led us to this&nbsp; record.” As for their plans to bring it all to the stage, the band is already looking&nbsp; ahead to an extensive tour in 2025, including dates across the U.S., Europe, and&nbsp; beyond. “The plan is to tour the universe and beyond,” Epley jokes, “but in all&nbsp; seriousness, we’ll be coming to most places soon.”&nbsp;From their early days of shaking the walls of basement shows to their latest sonic&nbsp; adventure, Shiner has never stopped pushing forward. And as always, they’re still&nbsp; making music for themselves...and for anyone who’s ready to listen.

In the heart of Philadelphia, there's a band that's been igniting the ska scene with their infectious beats and killer hooks. They go by the name of Catbite, and they're here to make you dance, sing, and fall head over heels for ska all over again. At the helm of the band is the fierce Brittany Luna, whose powerhouse vocals and sassy stage presence will leave you breathless. On guitar, Tim Hildebrand, whose lightning-fast riffs and catchy melodies will have you tapping your feet in no time. On bass, Ben Parry, who keeps the rhythm going with his intricately interesting bass lines. And on drums, Chris Pires, whose thunderous beats and lightning-fast fills will make you poop your pants. Together, Catbite creates a sound that's equal parts classic ska and modern punk, with a dash of power pop thrown in for good measure. Their songs are all about love, love lost and the emotional and mental toll of being human, and their live shows are a non-stop party that will leave you sweaty, elated, and craving more. But don't let their cute and cuddly name deceive you - Catbite is a force to be reckoned with. They've traversed four continents this year alone, spreading their ska gospel to the masses and winning over fans wherever they go. And with their third LP in the works, there's no telling where their music will take them next. They're the ska band that’s shaking up the scene and they’re not afraid to speak truth to power.

Formed in Chicago by partners Josh Condon and Eliza Weber, Glyders make maximal minimal rock &amp; roll with nocturnal mystery pulsing in the mix, cutting above rigorous roadhouse fare with sounds that twist and grind on their classic inspirations. Joined by Joe Seger on drums, Glyders’ high lonesome way is mellow but nervy, hip-shaking and deep – a multicolored trip to the ongoing beat of American weirdness.&nbsp; Their second LP, “Forever,” is out November 21st, 2025 on Drag City:&nbsp; Forever’s spirit is high and tight, its sinews rumbling with communal joy as Glyders’ power-trio formation, in it ‘for life,’ grooves deep into their own thing. Shuffling the deck with road-tested jams, Forever hits with the energy of a first album – which it kinda is, now that founders Josh &amp; Eliza have met their true other, the relentless traps-man Joe Seger. Forever starts now!

 Gasa U Presents: Frost On Freret

Sublimation compels the artist to beauty. Even the worker trafficking in ugly does so because they find the truth of the unattractive to be most gorgeous of all. As kindness becomes antiquated and paranoia the normal operating procedure, an art form as indulgent as rap can seem tasteless. Rap requires electricity, speakers, cables, stands, a table, lights, protection from the elements, an audience with at least one dollar. Rap grew with excess and is built from sampling buffet plates of perfection. The styles no longer ring free. R.A.P. Ferreira takes the high road. His ambitions are an ever widening vocabulary, a full gas tank, the next tour’s itinerary. The rapper is evolving as you doomscroll. The years go by and he is becoming more bluesman, less Redman. Ferreira’s sound on slide guitar is gaining renown. Taking the high road, he ventures through the American South in support of his brand new album with Kenny Segal, “the Night Green Side of It”. The record is a reflection of 14 years relentless touring and releasing, researching and developing on the edges of the underground sound. These engagements promise to be a master class of 100 years of Black American music. From country blues to jazz rap, Ferreira is hitting targets no other artist alive sees.

Militarie Gun are a truly uncategorizable band. Led by vocalist Ian Shelton, the band’s debutfull-length, Life Under TheGun, is forged by a lifetime of experience and effort, offering 12tracks that manage to blend the unbridled aggression of hardcore with massive hooks andpersonality to spare. Throughout the record, Militarie Gun demonstrates their mastery ofmelody andgrit as Shelton interrogates a lifetime of interpersonal relationships through adistinctly blunt, empathetic, and self-aware lens. Ultra-catchy tracks like "Do It Faster" and"Very High" look at his challenging upbringing with adult perspective, while “Never Fucked UpOnce,” demonstrates a willingness to approach the third rail, juxtaposing some of Life UnderThe Gun's most darkly comedic lyrics with its most overt pop-rock sensibilities. The albumcloses with its anthemic title track where Shelton sings the final refrain “a life of pursuit ends uppursuing you” like an urgent reminder to himself: move forward or get swallowed up–your pastmight shape you, but it doesn’t have to define you. The song’s final lone chord rings out like aquestion, a fittinglyhopeful-yet-ambiguous ending for the debut album from a band that’salready come so far and evolved so much–but whose story has only just begun.<img src="https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000f17831f63ab1e2913302ef26ee03" alt="Militarie Gun">

Breezy's Golden Hour with DJ SNAXX

Trash Panda began in 2015 as the pet recording project of songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Patrick Taylor, expanding into a duo then a trio in 2016. Pulling from influences as wide as neopsychedelia, soul, indie rock and pop music, the band considers themselves somewhat post-genre. Darlings of the indie scene, Trash Panda tapped into both the perils of modern dating and the existential questions of dark nights of the soul. In its first wave, only two years of frenzied creativity, the band made a regional splash touring small and mid-sized venues and during its four year hiatus reached a certain level of global cult status, with passionate fans spanning the globe. After their debut LP, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6dABqYFmNSQl8VM6WfYw9H">The Starclimber</a>, the band went on hiatus and pursued other projects, emerging four years later in 2022 with several new members, releasing two singles “Things Will Never Change ” and “Doin' Fine Today” which are quickly gaining attention, featured in their first weeks on more than 10 of Spotify's editorial playlists. Autumn of 2022 brought the band their first nationwide tour as support for <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/42PLkpL4mM4Szp7fiyj15X">Ceramic Animal</a>, and 2023 brought them their first headlining tour in support of their newest studio album, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4NyZbFQFYDehtNGYEVwnsU">PANDAMONIUM!</a>.

The album title for French Cassettes’ new album Benzene—is neither an allusion to the dangerous fossil fuel byproduct, nor is it a nod to the anti-anxiety drug Benzos, but rather a twist on Huerta’s family nickname, ‘Benz’. “I wish I had a better explanation,” Huerta admits. “I guess I should have Googled it first.”The self-deprecation is classic Benz, as is this crossing of the wires between the flippant and the deeply meaningful. It’s one reason the San Francisco band’s third album holds up so well to repeated listens. Even when influences like The Magnetic Fields and The Beach Boys peek through, Huerta’s lyrical aesthetic is his own, and Benzene is packed to the gills with funny, memorable one-liners that take a twist for the heartbreaking. “My mother’s mother talks in comic sans,” he sings. “I will never not love her. I wish there were more emails to read.”Their last album, Rolodex, was a painstaking six years in the making, with perfectionist tendencies, anxiety and grief all playing roles in the delay. On Benzene — recorded and produced with the band’s cofounder Mackenzie Bunch and drummer Rob Mills —&nbsp;they have let their proverbial hair down. And while the album bears evidence of a band more comfortable both taking risks and taking it easy, they still never miss an opportunity to do something interesting. Melodically, production-wise, lyrically: There is always room to add another hook, a new harmony, a strange sound, or a little secret handshake of a lyric.

San Antonio-based band Fea embody one of the most vital tenets of punk: total and unapologetic freedom, fearlessly expressed with both fury and joy. Produced by Chicana punk legend Alice Bag, their sophomore album No Novelties finds Fea following their instincts into entirely unexpected directions (e.g., covering an early-’90s pop anthem from Mexican superstar Gloria Trevi, trash-talking en Français on a yé-yé-inspired track called “Merde”). But even in its most playful moments, No Novelties channels a classic-punk ferocity, endlessly backing Fea’s sticky melodies with breakneck rhythms, blistering guitar riffs, and boldly nuanced vocal work.

The Party Of A Showgirl 

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, a six-year-old boy picks up an electric guitar for the first time. He feels the sharp steel strings and smells the wood while playing his first chords. This moment sparks a lifelong passion for music.Raised in an inner-city environment, his childhood was half on the streets and half playing music with friends. At an early age he started experimenting with drugs and also playing in local bands.Soon, drugs became a problem and he started feeling a lack of motivation and self esteem. He eventually leaves his hometown for New York City at the suggestion of his sister, in an intent to save him from a deep depression. In Rockaway Beach, Queens, Juan Zaballa becomes Tall Juan and begins his music career with the support of his New York friends, releasing albums that reflect his personal growth and experiences. His first album, 'Olden Goldies', reflect his English language learning journey and pays homage to his early punk music influences, showcasing his simplistic yet powerful songwriting while 'Atlantico' reconnects him with South American rhythms, displaying his musical growth. His latest release, 'Raccoon Nights', showcases his evolution as a musician and producer, exploring psychedelic-pop with a blend of synthesizers and new wave overtones. Throughout his music, Tall Juan expresses his emotions and experiences, evolving his sound while maintaining his authentic voice inviting a diverse group of collaborators to join him on his journey

Her breakthrough came in 2010 with the release of the cult-hit, experimental LP, Anika, which she recorded with Bristol band Beak&gt;, a wholly unplanned affair, which began her on-going investigation into the music, film, poetry and arts scenes. One of her most known songs remains "I Go To Sleep," a cover of The Kinks' 1965 classic. The debut was followed by Change in 2021, an album full of heightened frustration buoyed by guarded optimism spread across nine tracks. 2025 sees the release of her third album Abyss. Recorded live to tape at Berlin's legendary Hansa Studios, the album captures raw energy with minimal overdubs, resulting in a visceral and urgent 10-track journey fueled by intense emotions. With Abyss, Anika invites listeners into a space for release, rebellion, and honesty, creating an album that speaks to the turmoil of our times while offering an emotional outlet. As she puts it, “This is a space for you.” Anika is a founding member of Mexican psych-band, Exploded View and has worked across the arts with the likes of punk legends Gudrun Gut and Beate Bartel (Malaria!, Liaisons Dangereuses), Tricky (Massive Attack), Jim Jarmusch, Soundwalk Collective, Shackleton, Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop, Clark (Warp), PBDY (Brainfeeder), performance artist Melanie Jame Wolf, n.b.k gallery Berlin, Poet Ricardo Domeneck, computer programmer Raoul Sanders/A.I (The Writing Robot. 2017), fashion house Jil Sander and light artist Philipp Geist (composing and performing a live soundscape for a light installation in Tehran, IR. 2015). Her latest work includes a video art experiment called 'Anika - Alone In The City' in collaboration with n.b.k gallery in Berlin, and her guitar, synth driven psychedelic experimental live album ‚Eat Liquid‘ (live recording from Zeiss Planetarium, Berlin 2023). She has performed extensively since 2009, with and without band, in renowned venues and festivals across the globe, such as the Portishead-curated All Tomorrows Parties in New Jersey and London, Moog Festival, alongside the likes of Suicide, Tangerine Dream, Silver Apples, and Moebius, Mexico City’s Normal Festival, Tehran’s Tadaex, Berghain, Atonal festival, SKIF St Petersberg, and WWWX Tokyo among others. She interweaves dub, post-punk, and psychedelic, with shadows of dnb and a strong emphasis on the voice. Henderson operates as a writer, composer, musician, DJ, photographer, radio host and video-director.
