Making Time ∞ Sets A PLURTed Standard For East Coast Raving

Every September, in the leafy Philadelphia hinterlands, a 1770s historic site morphs into a surreal dance gathering. Picnic blankets brush against Fort Mifflin’s brick walls as airplanes descend above. Bombproof shelters evolve into natural wine caves. Ravers swarm muddy parade

A.G. Sully – “Are You Willing To Change?”

Change can be so scary — an unknown, a fantasized result with no guarantee. But it also can be immensely rewarding. On her new single "Are You Willing To Change?," Alabama-raised, Brooklyn-based artist A.G. Sully makes change sound like a beautiful inevitable. The post A.G.

Mary In The Junkyard – “Jane”

In July, Band To Watch Mary In The Junkyard released their stunning debut album Role Model Hermit . Today, they're back with another new single "Jane," that continues the group's streak of stilling rock ballads. The post Mary In The Junkyard – “Jane” appeared first on

Julia Jacklin – “If I Had The Hand Of God”

Nothing about the Australian singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin really screams "Las Vegas," but that's where Jacklin shot the video for her new song "If I Had The Hand Of God." This was a very good decision. For the clip, regular collaborator Nick Mckk filmed Jacklin wandering

Primitive Blast Return With Sick New EP D.I.D.

The very name "Primitive Blast" implies a brief but explosive existence. You probably don't pick that band name if you expect to last a long time. The Australian hardcore crew Primitive Blast has been around for more than a decade, which would seemingly undercut that band name.

Lily Konigsberg – “Free Byrd”

Both solo and as a member of projects like Palberta and My Idea, Lily Konigsberg used to be a prolific force in indie-pop, so it's surprising that today's new single marks her first release in four years. We're glad to have her back in action. "Free Byrd" is a pop song with a

On Militarie Gun’s Tour And The Alternative Rock Pivot

Let's talk about the Militarie Gun double-grunt. I first heard it as "oof oof" or maybe "roo roo," but apparently it was always "ooh ooh." I know this because they printed "ooh ooh" on the back of a T-shirt once. That sound is Militarie Gun's catchphrase, their signature. When

Bleary Eyed – “Wander”

Do people ever confuse the young Philadelphia shoegaze crew Bleary Eyed for the post-Oasis Liam Gallagher band Beady Eye, or is that just me? For their entire existence, I kept thinking of Beady Eye as "Bleary Eye," and now there's a Bleary Eyed . This might be what finally

Perfume Genius – “Natural High”

Sometimes, indie rock types write music for dance performances, and it's usually pretty fair to slot that music into the minor-works category of their discographies. Nobody is like, "Yeah, Illinois is cool, but I think Sufjan Stevens' best shit is the music that he writes for

Watch Liz Phair & Sleater-Kinney Cover Elastica In Boston

Here's what's happening right now: I bet you're looking at this blog post headline like, "oh huh, I bet that was cool." No. Stop thinking like that. It's fucking awesome . Don't keep this open in another tab like "I'll try to watch it later today." This is not one of those

Snooper – “Mouth Closed”

Party-starting Nashville punks Snooper are getting ready to open Mannequin Pussy and Wednesday's Bitch Cabal tour , which ought to be a great time. Today, they drop a new single that will probably go crazy at those shows. "Mouth Closed" is a pummeling pogo jam with a merciless

Krill Announce New Album Secret Language: Hear “Dominate”

In the early 2010s, Krill emerged out of Boston in a loosely mathy tangle of guitars and neuroses and became a cult sensation for a generation of budding indie rock fans. The band's lifespan coincided with my late 20s and early 30s, and they came to my attention through my
