Travel, mild COVID and general decay cannot keep down this olive-oiled machine. We're jazzed to be giving listeners a sneak peek of the forthcoming Extra Cosmic LP from Panda Riot (pictured above), dropping 10 June. A lot of fine folks waited a really long time (nearly five years) for the follow-up to Infinity Maps, and it's finally peering out through the aether, and on our airwaves! But there's more than […]
We've got a deep bench this weekend, and we're thrilled to share our bounty with you. Headliners include Sun's Signature, the new Elizabeth Fraser project causing much buzz, Panda Riot and New Age Healers, both having released unexpected singles today (and both cannot be missed), and Ursula (pictured above), a band from Perth that's made big waves on regional radio/Triple J, but now seem poised for international fame... imagine if […]
Sneak peeks and up-to-the-minute breaking releases. We're here for it. We've done battle against the clock before, and we usually come out victorious. First and foremost, we'll be teasing out the forthcoming single from Crystal Canyon due 23 March (cover hinted at above), as it's our pleasure to celebrate our favorite artists, and tantalize our listeners with what they've got in the works. But we're also in full support of […]
If this was a show down the street, admit it, you'd wait in line for hours to see it live. I bloody well would. Chapter Four of this month's DreamGaze Worldwide presentation is wall-to-wall gold, with fresh performances from Tallies, Grivo, El Lago, Soft Wounds, plus rarely-seen footage from Plastic Girl In Closet, and Panda Riot. I'd pay six month's salary to see that show. But then again, I'm me. […]
If you're familiar with the brilliant Dear Tracks, if you fondly recall Houseplants (who took a star turn at Kalamashoegazer XI last year), you are well aware of the collected works of Matthew Messore. Driving creative force behind both Michigan-based projects, Matt has been shaping and polishing his sonic vision for years now. Transplanted back to his native Florida, we weren't terribly surprised he'd get back to work promptly on shaping […]
In a week where we've found DKFM is nominated for a second online radio award, it's hard to keep our heads from spinning. But we're here for you, and for new, and we've got plenty of both to keep everyone satisfied. From today's release of Panda Riot's Part Time Punks Session (brilliantly executed, that), to the new Vesper Records release of Dreams are Like Water, the debut EPs from Charcoal […]
From well-received early singles, to sparkling remixes, to their debut LP, Northern Automatic Music on Saint Marie Records, Chicago's Panda Riot have continued to evolve from beachy cuteness to a dream pop band demanding to be taken seriously. And they are to be taken seriously. With all the hard work evident on their most recent album Infinity Maps, seems like the critics are finally catching up as well. We sat […]

Everything arrives at the same time. We're doing our part in keeping it all together, and giving it all due respect and love. We start with the ridiculously long-awaited full-length from Bellavista. Rex & Co. broke away from Tamaryn to try to polish and perfect this presentation, and the hard work has paid off. But that competes with another LP we've been waiting on, Panda Riot's Infinity Maps. Finally. See […]
