<p>If there’s one big takeaway from their newest single, it’s that New York-based musician Liza Anne wants us all to know that “I know how to do this.” That’s what they tell audiences in the chorus of “Rainbow Sweater,” released this past Friday (July 7) via AntiFragile Music. And if “this” is making empowering, emphatic queer indie-pop, the track leaves no doubts that they can. “It’s just a couple of small steps / Then I’ll get through it,” Anne sings […]</p>

<p>We last caught up with Salem sludge slingers Baragon back in the pre-pandemic days of January 2020, which at this point feels entirely like a previous lifetime. But the heavy quartet returned with another furious crusher yesterday (July 11), and it throws a reference point back even deeper down yesterday’s timeline, to the mass shooting at the 2017 Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas. One person in the band had a family member at the festival, and thankfully, that […]</p>

<p>There’s a certain beauty in dropping a 311 collab on 7/11, but that we’d expect nothing less from Teenage Wrist. The ‘gazing Los Angeles rock duo dropped a new track yesterday (July 11), complete with a guest drop from S.A. Martinez. The hazy pile-driver of a tune is the latest from the Wrist’s forthcoming album Still Love, out August 4 via Epitaph. Needless to say, Marshall Gallagher (guitar, vocals), and Anthony Salazar (drums) are pretty stoked on the collaboration, which […]</p>

Today, we are psyched to debut the new video by Seoul's 18 Fevers! Plus, they have a new EP coming out! 18 Fevers play rough and ragged punk rock. There are touches of Distillers and Casualties in the band bombastic blast, but interestingly, a lot of their lyrics are hyper focused on what's going down in the Seoul punk scene. The band at once borrows from Western sounds while interjecting their own perspective into a classic template. The band's new track, "Gate Keeper," which is off the upcoming Death Punk Disco talks about jerks in the Seoul Scene. Singer Christmas spoke to Punknews about the track: "'Gate Keeper' is us unleashing our frustration with the universal problem of people trying to control something that is meant for everybody. Punk and hardcore has been a safe space for everybody since its beginning and nobody has the right to take it from anyone else. Especially in Korea where the scene is so tiny already that this behavior can do a lot of damage. The faces in our video represent that inclusion and diversity right down to Tom who’s slinging pizzas for us. Also we like drinking and pizza.” You can pre-order the new EP here and here!. Meanwhile, check out the video for "Gate Keeper" below, right now!

<p>Anyone who caught Genesis Owusu’s spellbinding performance at Boston Calling — and there was no reason not to, as we highly recommended it — were treated to perhaps the best set of the entire weekend. The Ghanaian-Australian artist came out of the Blue Stage gate swinging with breakout electro-funk hit and SOTY contender “Leaving The Light”, and never looked back over an eclectic and electric 45 minutes. But what really stood out was the spectrum of sounds in Owusu’s sonic […]</p>
