Long have we all been fans of Annabelle Chairlegs, and this week Lindsey Mackin and company announced their brand new record for upstart label Todo! The song is a poppy bit of garage rock, with the help of Ty Segall to make sure the balance in the mix is perfect. When you watch the video, the snappiness and joy of
 
		You can always depend on the Montreal scene to deliver creative pop music that leans just left of the dial, and today, we’re introducing ourselves (and maybe you) to Hush. Their debut single operates with this naturally propulsive vibe, locked in by this biting bit of percussive pop and this delicate bit of jangle on the guitar. Guitars fade a
 
		When it comes to my bread and butter in my record collection, I’ll own up to being kind of a basic bitch; I love good old pop rock vibes, with just sprinkles of punk flair…and that’s right whee The Planes caught me with their new set of jams. Initially, I thought I heard some early-era Weakerthans, but the way the
 
		If you’re not living in Texas where there’s two seasons, Summer and Longer Summer, you might be looking to cuddle of in a blanket and find a little solace from the Fall weather changes; you’ll need some easy listening, and we couldn’t think of a better way than to settle in with two new track from Fran Carlyon. The UK
 
		When you roll how we roll, you’re obviously going to miss a few things, as I’ve already copped to this week, but I really did love this new Hit single that dropped the other day. The New York outfit is working on polishing off a new record, slated for early 2026 release, and this tune definitely piqued my interest; there
 
		After the recent release of Dance Called Memory, anticipation for a solid night out (supported by B. Gray’s earlier attendance in SLC) from Nation of Language seemed a guarantee. I got the added bonus of getting to see one of my personal favorites, Deeper, open the night up too! Check in for some brief words and rad photos! Deeper did
 
		A few weeks back we tossed up a new tune from Brutalligators, hinting that the UK outfit were on their way with new music. Today, they drop another banger, with the news that they’ll be releasing Still Here with legendary label Fika Recordings. Their sound has a lot of similarities to the current pop punk scene in the States, using
 
		When I think upon new music, it’s easy to see where a lot of artists are coming from, pulling from this genre and that, but in a modern fashion. That said, you can usually place those tracks in certain eras or time frames, but listening to The Melody Chamber (sans the Echo), you get a timelessness, a sound that blends
 
		I hate that I’m not on a dancefloor this morning, as nothing would be better than cranking this Optic Sink tune up and just punching the air in pure unadulterated joy. While I’m enjoying the dense club grooves, particularly that thumping bass buried deep, I also adore the way they walk the line of their punk roots too. It’s not
 
		Through their first few handfuls of singles, the folks in Sweet Nobody have been turning out really charming pop rock, but today they make their boldest statement with “Forget Me.” I was first caught by the confidence and power of the vocals, hitting some notes that fall between Sharon Van Etten and Jenny Lewis. But, cementing the power of the
