Idols II features recently released new version of Yungblud's hit "Zombie" featuring The Smashing Pumpkins, as well six previously unreleased songs: "I Need You (To Make the World Seem Fine)," "The Postman," "Time," "War Part II," "Blueberry Hill," and "Suburban Requiem."

Home, Like Noplace Is There is their most widely-loved album, but for my money, their masterpiece is 2016's Goodness, an album that transcends any specific subgenre and feels like a monumental album for underground rock overall. It's a warm, atmospheric record with folk/post-rock interludes, vivid imagery, and the best songwriting and production of the band's career. They already learned how to write soaring hooks on their debut, but on Goodness, they wove those hooks in with intricate arrangements and inventive song structures.

Goldenvoice has announced its annual lineup of Coachella sideshows, "Goldenvoice Presents April," that have festival artists performing at various more intimate venues throughout Southern California in the days surrounding both weekends.

American Football's fourth studio album is imminent. The legendary emo band confirmed today, February 18, that LP 4 is due out May 1 on Polyvinyl. Although they haven't shared any new music from the album yet, you can check out the cover art and full tracklist below. LP4 follows 2019's and 2016's , the latter of which arrived after a 17-year hiatus.

Per a video from Geese's touring keyboardist Sam Revas, Tame Impala's Kevin Parker was at a studio in Perth, Australia with Geese members Max Bassin and Emily Green, Pond members Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson, and James Ireland, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard multi-instrumentalist Ambrose Kenny-Smith. No formal recordings have been announced yet from the various bands, but based on the brief video posted on socials, there were definitely bongos involved.

Existential dread is a deep sense of sadness and even terror that can arise when we struggle to understand our existence, such as our mortality, feelings of isolation, and a perceived lack of meaning in our lives. Because existential dread can be so intense, we may avoid or suppress our feelings, which often worsens rather than improves our dread. Further, we may be hesitant to seek support for fear of being stigmatized for struggling with our mental health.

I actually don't want to have kids.

'Goliath' may quite possibly be the heaviest thing we have ever done, and certainly the slowest song in our catalog, as close to doom metal as Exodus we get! Just pure evil, as sinister as it gets, featuring our friend Katie Jacoby, who laid down 18 tracks of strings in the middle harmony section, making the song go from just pure horror to a thing of beauty.

In warm front-of-curtain comments, Eilber said each work was "inspired by the American conversation." Indeed, the next two hours presented distinct voices that in their totality created a symphony of sound, from the sweetly nostalgic to the powerful and futuristic. Astonishing not only due to the dancers' dynamic range and ability to capture each choreographer's style and technique, in every dance music changed how movement is perceived, and vice versa.

In the early 1970s, the pop-rock group Three Dog Night were selling more records and concert tickets than any other artists in America, and scored 21 consecutive US Top 40 hits, including three No 1s. Chuck Negron, who has died aged 83 after suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure, was a founder member of the group, and his powerful voice and four-octave range made him a crucial component of their sound. His luxuriant moustache also became an unmistakable visual trademark.

A blend of nostalgic soul, funk, and spoken-word poetry, it hums before it speaks, swaying before it testifies. Since her debut album in 2000, Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1, Scott has given Blackness-and her native North Philadelphia-the foundational centering it deserves: the fragrance of cocoa butter warming on brown skin, potato salad on white styrofoam plates, the humidity thick on summer evenings while the sun goes down. Her voice gathers these recollections.

Having already announced a Chicago residency this year, LCD Soundsystem have made a few more additions to their tour plans for 2025. They've announced four nights of shows in Boston with Exek ( Roadrunner on April 30, May 1, 2, and 3) and a single night in Reno ( Grand Theatre at The Grand Sierra Resort on May 24). Reno tickets go on sale Friday,

Poison The Well have shared the second taste of their first album in 17 years, Peace In Place, and new single "Everything Hurts" shows off a few different sides of the band that we didn't hear on the excellent lead single "Thoroughbreds." We get some tension-building speak-singing that almost sounds more like classic mewithoutYou than classic Poison The Well, and that builds to a soaring clean-sung hook before erupting into some breakdown-friendly metalcore.

Someone running across a phalanx of these self-professed "book nerds" wouldn't be wrong to sense a connection to 21st century pop music fandoms, the social networks supporting artists like Taylor Swift or Charli xcx. Bookstores with names like Slow Burn or Lovestruck sell bookmarks or other trinkets emblazoned with Swift lyrics alongside those with quotes from leading romantasy author Sarah J. Maas.

Argentina's underground has long been a hotbed of unhinged creativity. It's an ecosystem of park rap battles, parties, collectives, and young artists intentionally trying to piss off rock-loving oldheads. The trap scene evolved locally in waves: It really took off in 2017 with stars like Cazzu and Auto-Tune god Duki, a freestyler who broke through after winning the El Quinto Escalón battle rap tournament.

Downtown San Jose secured a new musical highlight for late March. Music Mania steps in as the city's first multi-genre music festival, setting up shop at the SoFA Lot from March 27 to 29. The outdoor space at 350 South First Street lines up directly with the NCAA Sweet 16 basketball action unfolding nearby at SAP Center. Friday opens with heavy electronic sets led by DJ Diesel, the alter ego of Shaquille O'Neal, supported by Whethan, Eptic, Zen Selekta, and Maneki.

We both live in maybe the most impractical place if you want to be a successful DJ, laughs Alice Marie Jektevik, one half of Article 3, a Sami female DJ collective. Jektevik, 36, and her collaborator, Petra Laiti, 30, reside in a rural village in the far north-east of Norway. But living in Sapmi the region across northern parts of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia traditionally lived in by Sami people has proven to be central to their success, providing the inspiration for much of their work.

We did feel at Coachella, when we came over with Blur, that maybe it was a slight mismatch, us being at that festival,

The agreement includes a payment of "777 Gorgeous Dollars," a lifetime supply of free passes to Ol' Bernard's Roller Rink & Organ Honkers, and a one-foot plot of Village Lake, "formerly known as Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake in Richland Country, South Carolina, United States." The contract also states that the label will never ask Pedigo to perform covers of Def Leppard, Dokken, the Doors, Van Halen, or Tank Top Party Lads. Read the full document below.
