<p>When Sean Monahan birthed the term “vibe shift” to complement his withering observations of the transition from millennial norm-core style (a phrase he, along with his trend forecasting company K-Hole, also invented) to “indie sleaze,” he was participating in a tradition that stretched back eons, even if it was done so in a way that rang fresh to the ears of those writing at a New York Magazine vertical. Like people, cultures, be they sub-, mono- or counter-, are not […]</p>

<p>Just a short ways away across the Atlantic, Fervents are heating up. The self-described punk band, hailing from southeast Belgium, shared their latest single “Let Go” on Wednesday (June 19), adding momentum to the steady buzz they’ve built regionally that’s slowly but surely making its way to stateside soil. A gnarly rallying cry for the displeased youth (and youth-at-heart alike), “Let Go” denounces passivity, from relationships to social hierarchy. Though the track perhaps feels at times more at home amongst […]</p>

<p>Rarely does a show come to town when all the artists on the bill are somehow intertwined, which is the case with The Church, The Afghan Whigs, and Ed Harcourt, who all play Royale in the Theatre District tonight (June 21). It’s even more impressive considering they hail from three separate continents. Then again, the common denominator is Greg Dulli, the Whigs frontman who always seems to have his fingers in an armful of musical pies. Dulli and his purveyors […]</p>

Whether you’re familiar with Anthony Green from Circa Survive, Saosin, L.S. Dunes, The Sound of Animals Fighting, or his solo music there is no question that he pours his entire being into every single thing he creates and that is especially true on his upcoming solo record Doom. Spun. The 13 tracks find him at some of his most experimental as he dives into noise rock, brings intimacy to electronic music, delivers a poignant recitation of a poem by French Surrealist poet Robert Desnos, and reimagines three tracks from 2022’s Boom. Done. A sense of connection also permeates the album and serves to drive home the fact that it is impossible to create without it. Whether Anthony is working with collaborators, involving the audience, telling a story, or exploring how certain songs make him feel, you feel like you are along for the ride with him. Doom. Spun. will be out everywhere on June 26 via Born Losers Records. Anthony Green will be hosting two listening parties (one in-person and one virtual) next week and will be playing solo shows around the US starting in September. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Anthony to talk about the new album, what goes into reimagining songs, his creative process, finding connection through music, frogs, and so much more. Read the interview below!This interview between Em Moore and Anthony Green took place on June 12, 2024 over Zoom. This transcription documents their conversation and has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
