Cigar have re-released their first album, Speed is Relative. The new version is remastered and is oiut via Fat Wreck Chords. In a released, the band's Rami Krayem stated: "“I went from jamming Bad Religion, NOFX, and Lagwagon songs in my bedroom to suddenly working with Fletcher Dragge and Darian Rundall in Fletcher’s studio in Redondo Beach. Mind-blowing doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’ll always be grateful for the chance to collaborate with such talented musicians and to get our first album out there under Fletcher’s wing. But here’s the thing: no one warned me about Fletcher’s… unique management style. Let’s just say, if he ever locks you in a bathroom, threatens to punch a hole in the wall, and starts waving around a fire extinguisher to suck all the oxygen out of the room—don’t stick around to see what happens. Just PANIC.”

Year in ReView: Vanyaland’s 12 favorite national songs of 2024

<p>Not too long ago, nearly every media outlet’s Year In ReView list looked pretty much the same, especially those hyping the (alleged) best songs of the past 12 months. But something seemed to splinter recently, and now these lists are an absolute orgy of heterogeneity. Hey, we’re all listening to our own shit, and that’s easy to do when so many new tracks are uploaded to streamers every single day. The theme of variety also rules the day (and week, […]</p>

The Chicago music scene is known for its intimate venues, one of the most well-known is the Beat Kitchen. Saturday, November 16th saw a sold-out show at the venue as East Coast outfits Keep Flying and Ballyhoo! stopped through on their winter tour. Chicago-based Robot Heart Throb opened the night with playful and honest energy. The crowd came ready to party as the mood was joyful throughout the evening. Robot Heart Throb are self-described as “made-up genre-fluid music,” mixing elements of folk and hip-hop into improvisational riffs. Jared Hochberg is the creative master behind Robot Heart Throb; a jazz background that informs his style in flute and saxophone playing in combination with crowd interaction makes for a unique show experience. Their newest single “Midwest Breakup” is a pleasant melancholic treat that embodies all things Midwest emo. Robot Heart Throb definitely created a lively atmosphere to begin the evening.



New Yorkers Keep Flying followed with a positive, uplifting spirit that reminded us to keep our heads up in these trying times. Daylight is their latest release which they are on tour supporting. Saxophone and trombone-infused melodies add to the themes of remaining hopeful throughout life’s highs and lows found in their music. Keep Flying embodies the high energy of their name itself with songs like “Transparency’ and “198 Broadway” featuring punchy lyrics and sax riffs that can carry us into daylight in our darkest moments.


Lastly, Maryland beach rockers Ballyhoo! took to the stage heating up Chicago’s brisk November air. The Beat Kitchen turned into a beach party with the sounds of reggae and ska reminiscent of Summertime Chi and simpler times. “Clip My Wings” and “Shellshock” from their latest release, Shellshock are standout tracks to get your body moving. Ballyhoo! made sure that there was no one standing still, the crowd became one with their melodies and funky riffs. A perfect way to close out the good vibe night.
