<p>There are few guarantees in life, but here are two we can count on: Bombay Bicycle Club remaining on both on our playlists and our event calendar. The British indie survivalists released another fantastic record last fall in My Big Day — revisit Chaka Khan collab “Tekken 2” for proof — and now take it across North America for a healthy dose of 2024 dates. The run is split into two legs, and Boston’s dance arrives midway through the first, […]</p>

<p>Like many of a certain age, Noahfinnce grew up on the internet. But only a select few will release an album about it.

LA Weekly has laid off most of its staff. Late last week, publisher Brian Calle offered buyouts to most of the editorial staff likely due to the paper's decrease in income. Team members leaving the publication include Editor-in-Chief Darrick Rainey, Art Editor Shana Nys Dambrot, Music Editor Brett Callwood, News Reporter Isiah Rocha and Cannabis Reporter Jimi Devine. This move follows a number of turbulent years for the publication. In 2017, the paper was purchased by Semanal Media, now called street media, which is owned by Calle. At the time, the new owners had attempted to keep their ownership out of public until they were pressured by employees and advertisers to identify themselves. Then, numerous writers/editors were fired from the paper, and columnists/associates including Henry Rollins and Dean Erwin Chemerinsky left due to the ownership's right wing ties. Amoeba records stopped advertising for the same reason. Specifically, Calle was the former vice-president of the Claremont institute, an organization dedicated to "defeating progressivism" and installing conservative people in places of power and influence. As per the institute, "The Claremont Institute has identified the principles that will be necessary to defeat progressivism. We teach the principles of the American Founding, and their application today, to the brightest young conservative men and women who will, with our help, go on to positions of power and influence in government, the courts, academia, and the media." (Emphasis added) At the time, the paper also hired a new editor-in-chief named Hillel Aron who posted on Twitter that he would like to see the Gay Pride parade and "Carmageddon" on the same day in order to "get all the bullshit in one fell swoop." He also posted " "Wtf with high gas prices is this because our president is black?" Aron posted other homophobic tweets. Street Media owns the Village Voice and other publications.

Do you want to hear some hardcore ska punk from the Dominican Republic? Then check this new track by Esperciles!"Quiero Ser" or "I want to exist," starts off with a head slamming hardcore charge before breaking down into a ska beat before warping into a space rock jam. It's quite the trip! The band's Cristobol spoke to Punknews “When I wrote Quiero Ser, I wanted to challenge myself and try to mix four different genres on rock into one song. It starts off super fast with a hardcore verse mixing into a pop-punk bridge then ending with some ska / reggae and a Caribbean Latin solo to end the song. It was fun to figure out and I think it came out pretty neat!” The tune is off the band's upcoming EP which you can pick up here. Meanwhile, check out "Quiero Ser" below, right now!

<p>In retrospect, it might have been a bad idea to have a four-month intermission between the first and second parts of Zack Snyder’s Star Wars-without-Star Wars duology Rebel Moon. It’s “What If Seven Samurai But Jedi,” and anybody who’s seen Akira Kurosawa’s classic or one of the dozens of films riffing on it over the years will know that all of the action happens in the third act. So, if the first movie, A Child of Fire, wasn’t sufficiently action-heavy […]</p>
