<p>In this yawning 2025, nothing feels fun. City Builders is sick of that shit. The alt-pop project from Toronto artist Grace Turner drops an electro beat on the kind of all-night revelry we used to have with “No Sleep,” a rowdy banger that throbs with euphoria as the walls of chaos close in around us. It’s a pulsating soundtrack for wild nights, reckless fun, and a sense of unhinged liberation we all seemed to have lost along the way to […]</p>

Henry rollins recently announced that he was at Inner Ear studios with Ian MacKaye working on a project. That set the internet on fire with people guessing what the project was. Late last week, Rollins issued clarification: "Before anything else, I think I need to clear something up. Last week I told you that I went up to DC and mixed some tracks with Ian MacKaye at Inner Ear Studios in beautiful Arlington, VA. The tracks we mixed were not a collaborative effort, besides the mixing itself. I am not on the tape. Ian is not on the tape. Neither of us are on the tape. What we were working on was a demo, recorded in 1979, by a legendary Punk band that recently came into my possession. I had the tape baked and transferred by the very capable Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound in Nashville and had him send the tracks to Ian so he could take them to Inner Ear and get them loaded in. The mix came together quite quickly because it was only eight tracks on one inch tape and the quality of the sounds were so good out of the gate, very little had to be done. The performances are fantastic. Ian and I played the mixes over and over days later and kept in touch to see if either one of us had any notes as to anything that needed to be changed and neither of us could find anything wrong with the work. I contacted a member of the band and asked if I could release the tracks. I got permission and started preparing the tracks for release. We sent the final mixes to Pete, who mastered them and they’re really good. I’m going to be working in collaboration with Larry Hardy at In The Red Records and we’ll be releasing the demo as soon as possible, as a four song 12”. You might already know that Larry and I have been putting out very cool and often extremely rare tracks on 7” and 12” records over the last few years. In fact, we have a great one at the pressing plant right now. Once it’s back, I’ll tell you all about it. It’s super cool." Meanwhile, Rollins has at least one other secret project that has been gestating for a while. Rollins has dropped hints here and there, stating that the project involves some sort of warehouse physical location, a substantial part of his assets, and a greta deal of research. We'll keep you updated.
