We're also celebrating new sounds from Softcult, total wife, Mutant Waves, frown line, she's green, field test, and Whisper. But there's […]
Culled hundreds of pitches and Bandcamp release notifications down to sixty crucial cuts for injection into New Tracks Weekend rotation, and we're pretty keen on the lot.

New Tallies tunes, new music from NewDad, and a new track from Dead Horse One, and in the words of Vince Vaughn, all of it's money. Creativity, stepping outside of safe zone, mastery of the form, it's all money. Speaking of money, there's genre-adjacent but no less powerful Money, on the Sunday Drive label, again mining that happy vein between hard rock, post-hardcore and shoegaze. We're also keen on the […]

Leave it to Friday mornings, when the bulk of epic new releases finally unleashes into our promo box. First among equals: Soft Blue Shimmer (pictured above), OWNING the category with "hot rotation" tracks that aren't to be missed, and intent on cracking 2020 AOTY lists before we put a headstone on the musical year. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The new albums from FOG and Death of […]
When you have this many headliners in one weekend, what are you supposed to do? First weekend in September unleashes fresh sounds from the best and brightest in our chosen genres, and we're here for it. The new LP from Animal Ghosts has to be the first among equals in this case, because it's a full album of epic hazy shoegaze. But that's just the tip of the awesome iceberg: […]
