<p>There’s not always a need to get all poetic about a comedic force coming through town, but there is quite a few reasons to get excited for Kumail Nanjiani making his way back to Boston for the first time in a hot minute. Per the announcement earlier this week, the award-winning comedian and actor will be at The Wilbur for what is sure to be a highly-anticipated night on April 14. It’s been a number of years since the Eternals […]</p>

<p>We didn’t get a chance to review Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving, so here’s our short take: Pretty good! Gnarly gory horror mixed with some decent Masshole humor — we’ll take all that and then some, even if we spent way too long quibbling about the fact that the film’s setup couldn’t happen in the Bay State, given that we don’t have Black Friday on Thanksgiving Day. But still, it was a return to form for our state’s favorite genre son, and […]</p>

<p>Despite what that rodent meteorologist may say, longer and warmer days seem to feel more like a distant promise than a forthcoming guarantee. Houston trio Khruangbin made the wait for spring a bit easier yesterday (February 20) with their latest single, “May Ninth.” Released via Dead Oceans, it’s the second anticipatory single off of their upcoming April 5 album, A LA SALA. Featuring cascading guitar lines and gentle percussion, “May Ninth” follows in Khruangbin’s classic easy-on-the-ears jam sound, a slightly […]</p>

<p>As frontman for prog-metal outfit Coheed and Cambria, as well as the writer behind the comic book series The Amory Wars, with its ongoing storyline tying into the band’s musical output, Claudio Sanchez has a full plate and then some. But very sporadically, over the past two and a half decades, he’s been toiling away at the lo-fi electronica side project The Prize Fighter Inferno. Like the Coheed and Cambria material, it aligns with the narrative of the comics. The […]</p>

<p>Chino Moreno and Shaun Lopez sure like to take their sweet old time dropping new music as ††† (or Crosses as we’ll refer to them from here on out). When it does come though, it doesn’t take long to turn into a flurry of material. Beginning in 2020, in the wake of radio silence since 2014, a slow trickle of yearly singles was soon developing into a full-blown new album culminating with this past October’s Goodnight, God Bless, I Love […]</p>

Last week Philadelphia-based cybergrind artist ZOMBIESHARK! released one of the most intense albums of the year with Die Laughing. Dark and unsettling industrial arrangements are expertly used to create an ominous atmosphere that builds throughout the album before exploding on the closing track “Blue Mountain”. When combined with the haunting instrumentation, the deeply personal lyrics confronting trauma, depression, and isolation allow catharsis to reign supreme. Die Laughing is out everywhere now via Theoria Records. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Cory Swope to talk about the new album, growing up in Eastern Pennsylvania, pop culture references, Monster Energy Drink, and so much more. Read the interview below!

Check out the session below.

<p>At some point in our lives, and likely way more than once, we have been met with doubt and detractors after following through on a passion or calling. For Georgia Reed, the Australian-based singer and songwriter, it happened when she relocated to England during a hiatus from music, and she heard loud and clear from all those who were deeply skeptical of the move. Reed has channeled that sentiment into her stirring new dark electronic-pop single “Honey,” which swirls and […]</p>
