New Music | Friday Roll Out: This week we take a look and listen to releases by Jay Som (Polyvinyl Record Co.), Palm Ghosts (Steadfast Records / Sweet Cheetah Publicity / Poptek Recs), and The Antlers (Transgressive).

Just to be clear, I’ve never been a huge proponent of certain music because yes, I’m jaded and find solace in older releases of artists that I believe have surpassed even my own expectations with their ability to form and contort songs at will. With that said, I’ve never been a huge fan of New...

New Music | Friday Roll Out: This week, check out new releases by NY's Glimmer, Myka 9 & Blu, and Big Dese & Mike Martinez.

To say Big Dese is prolific just might be an understatement. He and producer Mike Martinez have released ten projects together in just two years and No Respect 2 comes right off the heels of the first one, released this past January. This album runs in familiar circles, held down with direct Boom Ba...

The Kansas City outfit Shiner returns after five years with its new album BELIEVEYOUME (Spartan Records). While it may not have been as long a break as its 19-year pause before 2001’s The Egg, it doesn’t seem to have slowed the band down at all. The band’s heavy-handed guitar work is felt on ....

Video Premiere | Deep Blue Something Official, best known for its hit "Breakfast At Tiffany's," returns with the lyric video for its pop-enthused "Don't Stop." The single is off the band's latest release, Lunar Phase (Label 51 Recordings), which was released in June 2025.

Lunar Phase, the new LP from iconic alt-pop group Deep Blue Something, is at once a love letter the genre-agnostic musical landscape of the early 90s and very much of the moment. Perhaps best known for their hit single “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” which reached the top 3 on the US Billboard Hot 1...

I’ve been a fan of The Black Heart Procession as far back as I can remember. That was probably the easy part; it was easy to fall in love with the music, coming off as a fan of Three Mile Pilot, the group that preceded it. The band of Pall Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel haven’t […]
