"I imagine myself playing these songs in a small club that is slowly burning", says A. Savage of his second solo record, "Several Songs About Fire". After more than a decade in New York, the co-frontman of Parquet Courts has left the city, marking his exi

Sleaford Mods return in 2023 with the new album UK Grim. Throughout their music the duo's poetic protest and electronic resistance has seen them consistency chart and call out their times with an eloquence and attitude that has made them one of the most u

Brought together by New Orleans' DIY scene, Special Interest is, on every level, uncompromising: in their adventurous sound, their high-energy live performances, and their convictions. Dance music and punk culture have flirted in the warehouse before, but

For their first album as Gilla Band, (formerly Girl Band) the foursome has redrawn their own paradigm. Most Normal is like little you've heard before, a kaleidoscopic spectrum of noise put in service of broken pop songs, FX-strafed Avant-punk rollercoaste

Green vinyl, or deluxe with book! On Sympathy For Life, Parquet Courts' thought-provoking rock is dancing to a new tune. The album finds the Brooklyn band at both their most instinctive and electronic, spinning their bewitching, psychedelic storytelling i
