8 New Songs Out Today

"So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place."

"Billy Bragg is back with this very Billy Bragg-style holiday song. He explains: "The far-right attention seeker who calls himself Tommy Robinson is trying to introduce Christian nationalism into the UK, holding a carol service in central London on Saturday 13th December under the slogan "Putting Christ Back Into Christmas". He told his followers that this involves "drawing attention to unchecked immigration and the fading of our cultural heritage. Stand Up To Racism and Care4Calais are organising a counter-rally at 1pm on Saturday outside Downing Street. I'll be there to sing a few songs. Here's one I've just written to remind Tommy and his mates of the true meaning of Christmas, utilising the tune of the Scottish folk song 'Come All Ye Tramps and Hawkers'.""

"Apparently Norman Cook made this mash-up of his own Fatboy Slim hit "The Rockafeller Skank" and The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" back in the 2000s but could never actually release it due to rights issues from the Stones' side. ( The Verve can relate.) Finally he's gotten permission to release it."

Daily coverage curates newly released songs across genres, posts news and track premieres, and maintains a weekly playlist of current favorites. GENA, the duo of Liv.e and Karriem Riggins, announced their debut album The Pleasure Is Yours, due February 27 via Lex Records, and released the syrupy neo-soul single "HOWWEFLOW". Billy Bragg released a holiday protest song titled "PUT CHRIST BACK INTO CHRISTMAS" in response to Tommy Robinson's planned carol service and to promote a counter-rally, using a Scottish folk tune. Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) cleared rights to release the mash-up "SATISFACTION SKANK" combining his own hit and The Rolling Stones' classic. Chicago post-rock supergroup Pullman released the track "KABUL".
