<p>Let’s be real: everything not directly named The Mandalorian or Andor has been an utter shambles for Disney’s attempts to bring the Star Wars universe to streaming. Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Boba Fett — all are pretty stale attempts at telling stories set within a pretty limited framework, which could be called the “Original Trilogy-adjacent” era. Hell, we’d argue the cartoons have been so successful because they’re about other periods (Visions, Clone Wars, Bad Batch, etc.). Folks want to see shit they’ve […]</p>

There may […]</p>

<p>On March 13, Latrell James tweeted “Almost forgot who I was. Never again.” And then, as if to double down on his statement two days later, the Boston rapper and producer dropped his first project in four years. Running In Place (released March 15) picks up where James left off in 2020 with his EP Under, unrolling 13 tracks’ worth of gymnastic bars that effortlessly leap between social commentaries. A handful of songs feature area acts ToriTori and Lilah — […]</p>

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premier of the new song by Toronto’s Bad River! The song is called “Burn” and is off their upcoming album Modern Laundry. Speaking about the track, the band said, “‘Burn’ is one of the older songs from the new album. What began as an instrumental jam has mutated into the song we have now. This song is about how meaningful change takes time, societal pressures, and the moments of beauty that we often overlook. We are very excited to finally release this  song, as one of the more subdued tracks from Modern Laundry.” Modern Laundry will be out everywhere on April 24. Listen to the new track below!
