In just a few days, Kill Lincoln will be releasing their fourth album No Normal. The album captures the band’s kinetic energy perfectly as they blast through 11 tracks full of killer riffs, spirited horn lines, whirlwind drumming, dynamic vocals, and lively shoe squeaks in just over 24 minutes. The band explores mental health, existential dread, the impact that the pandemic has had both personally and on society at large, and the need for community with lyrics that are cathartic and impossible not to sing along with. No Normal will be available everywhere via Bad Time Records on September 27. Kill Lincoln will be touring the US in October and will be playing their album release show at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC in November.

<p>The Ghouls acquired a pickup-encrusted crown in May, and now they have a nice pocketful of gold to match. The Lowell band — and 2024 Rock and Roll Rumble winners — released their new song “Pocket of Gold” last week (September 20), and it’s practically unfathomable to think that this is The Ghouls’ second-ever single. Like a sprint through early aughts rock, the song ricochets with a scrappiness that’s best described as The Strokes on speed, and lead singer and […]</p>
