The native New Yorkers (for now) will release A Paradoxical Theory of Change, their sophomore album for Fat Wreck Chords, on June 28.

The punk outfit’s hallmarks remain as powerful as ever on their guest-heavy tenth record, which feels less like a swan song than a reassertion of intent.

The set took place on November 18 as the Minneapolis-based indie-pop outfit was touring their then-new release.

In our latest digital cover, which features an exclusive behind-the-scenes video of his recent tour, we explore the many facets of the artist as he continues to tease his fourth LP while expanding his resumé by writing arrangements for Beyoncé, touring with Lil Yachty, and covering Talking Heads for A24’s upcoming tribute album.

Densely textured yet sparsely minimal, Irish songwriter Constance Keane’s second solo album is unrelenting in its intense emotions.

A powerful meditation on the real nature of death, their ninth album demonstrates that the Vancouver five-piece hasn’t settled into anything even remotely routine.

Fueled by the same raw and unfiltered emotional gravitas that haunted Bright Eyes’ early recordings, the Chicago duo’s lush debut draws you into a rich, layered world.

With a feature from Cat Clyde, the single arrives with news of a new LP from Kensrue titled Desert Dreaming.

Opening the vault on the late songwriter’s live recordings, Kramer’s Shimmy-Disc label repurposes Johnston’s most ramshackle analog sounds for the streaming era.

Newly remastered and packaged with a rare 1999 live performance, the alt-rock icons’ debut record as a trio remains perfectly in tune with the world—both musically and lyrically.

The heartland-punks’ first record in nine years takes influence from both before their hiatus and from vocalist Brian Fallon’s recent solo work, though never in any predictable fashion.

The LA metal quartet’s third album Thrones lands October 13 via RidingEasy Records.

The new project featuring Farside’s Popeye Vogelsang and members of Don’t Sleep will release November 10 via Revelation Records.
