<p>It’s a tale as old as time: A creative young man experiences the disintegration of a relationship, and perhaps incidentally, listens to a lot of The Strokes, Libertines, and Nirvana as it all goes south. The result is a song like “Love Is Dead,” a snarling haunter of a tune that’s just one-half of a new offering from English punk-grunge trio The Pleasure Dome. The new single comes with another new one, a more unhinged “Insane,” and both compose the […]</p>

<p>Just when we need it most, Slowdive are here to put our modern mood to music. The British band returns today (June 20) with a trifecta of news: A new album titled everything is alive, due September 1 via Dead Oceans; a lush new dream-pop single called “kisses”; and word of an extensive tour that includes a North American swing in the fall. The new album is Slowdive’s fifth, and first since 2017’s self-titled comeback record, which arrived 22 years […]</p>

It goes without saying that Problem Patterns are one of the most exciting punk bands going right now. Since forming in 2018, the Belfast-based quartet has been kicking out urgent, furious, and fun tracks that always seem to arrive at the perfect time and this is extremely evident on the first two singles from their upcoming album Blouse Club. “Who Do We Not Save?” sees the band ripping into the privatization of healthcare and “Letter of Resignation” is an upbeat, rage-fuelled yet joyful call for people to “tear it down and start again”. Blouse Club will be out later this year via Alcopop! Records and Problem Patterns will be playing some festival dates around Europe and the UK this summer. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Beverley Boal, Bethany Crooks, Ciara King, and Alanah Smith over Zoom to talk about the new album, being called Kathleen Hanna's favourite new band, sausages, and so much more.

<p>Holy shit, that classic alternative playlist you made on Spotify has manifested itself into an actual music festival. Following in the footsteps of deck-stacking, genre-focused events like Cruel World and Just Like Heaven comes Darker Waves Festival, a November 18 throwdown at Huntington Beach City Beach in California. And we can’t lie, the lineup is fucking amazing. In fact, given Vanyaland’s editorial identity over the past decade since inception, we’re probably legally required to write about this. Darker Waves is […]</p>
