Tessa Rae gently tackles new love with a wistful float on ‘Sweetly, Softly’

<p>Mid-week releases seem to be on the rise, with artists opting to drop tracks just in time for listeners’ Wednesday afternoon commutes. For Tessa Rae, one of her first releases of 2024 falling on a Wednesday just makes sense — after all, a song about falling in love only naturally should be shared on Valentine’s Day. The California-based pop artist shares the first taste of an upcoming EP with “Sweetly, Softly,” an appropriately tender track diving into budding romance. The […]</p>

MICROWAVE ANNOUNCE LONG-AWAITED FOURTH LP, LET’S START DEGENERACY

<p>Let’s Start Degeneracy, the long-awaited fourth full-length record from Microwave, is a trip. Its title, taken from a conservative politician’s take on drugs in 1970, captures the band’s newfound liberated spirit, and its tracks play by no one’s rules but their own. At various points…</p>

Kumail Nanjiani marks his return to Boston after nearly a decade

<p>There’s not always a need to get all poetic about a comedic force coming through town, but there is quite a few reasons to get excited for Kumail Nanjiani making his way back to Boston for the first time in a hot minute. Per the announcement earlier this week, the award-winning comedian and actor will be at The Wilbur for what is sure to be a highly-anticipated night on April 14.

Put a cap in Eli Roth’s ‘Borderlands’ trailer

<p>We didn’t get a chance to review Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving, so here’s our short take: Pretty good! Gnarly gory horror mixed with some decent Masshole humor — we’ll take all that and then some, even if we spent way too long quibbling about the fact that the film’s setup couldn’t happen in the Bay State, given that we don’t have Black Friday on Thanksgiving Day. But still, it was a return to form for our state’s favorite genre son, and […]</p>

Khruangbin spring forward with new single ‘May Ninth’

<p>Despite what that rodent meteorologist may say, longer and warmer days seem to feel more like a distant promise than a forthcoming guarantee. Houston trio Khruangbin made the wait for spring a bit easier yesterday (February 20) with their latest single, “May Ninth.” Released via Dead Oceans, it’s the second anticipatory single off of their upcoming April 5 album, A LA SALA. Featuring cascading guitar lines and gentle percussion, “May Ninth” follows in Khruangbin’s classic easy-on-the-ears jam sound, a slightly […]</p>

617 Q&A: Claudio Sanchez on Prize Fighter Inferno’s Clark Kent to Coheed’s Superman

<p>As frontman for prog-metal outfit Coheed and Cambria, as well as the writer behind the comic book series The Amory Wars, with its ongoing storyline tying into the band’s musical output, Claudio Sanchez has a full plate and then some. But very sporadically, over the past two and a half decades, he’s been toiling away at the lo-fi electronica side project The Prize Fighter Inferno. Like the Coheed and Cambria material, it aligns with the narrative of the comics. The […]</p>

This Show Is Tonight: Crosses make up for lost time in Boston

<p>Chino Moreno and Shaun Lopez sure like to take their sweet old time dropping new music as ††† (or Crosses as we’ll refer to them from here on out). When it does come though, it doesn’t take long to turn into a flurry of material. Beginning in 2020, in the wake of radio silence since 2014, a slow trickle of yearly singles was soon developing into a full-blown new album culminating with this past October’s Goodnight, God Bless, I Love […]</p>

Interviews: Talking all things 'Die Laughing' with Cory Swope of ZOMBIESHARK!

Last week Philadelphia-based cybergrind artist ZOMBIESHARK! released one of the most intense albums of the year with Die Laughing. Dark and unsettling industrial arrangements are expertly used to create an ominous atmosphere that builds throughout the album before exploding on the closing track “Blue Mountain”. When combined with the haunting instrumentation, the deeply personal lyrics confronting trauma, depression, and isolation allow catharsis to reign supreme. Die Laughing is out everywhere now via Theoria Records. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Cory Swope to talk about the new album, growing up in Eastern Pennsylvania, pop culture references, Monster Energy Drink, and so much more.
