Washington D.C. punks Ekko Astral release new standalone single "horseglue"

Ekko Astral

"'horseglue' is a screeching call for moral clarity. Anything short of courage against the rise of The New Authoritaria is complicity. It is important to focus on how integral the Messengers really are, and that some of them are the 1% too. They are rich and they are happy without consequence, as a vast majority of us suffer in the shadows of the unknown." read more →

Swedish noise-pop upstart Weatherday releases new album 'Hornet Disaster'

Weatherday

Out everywhere today, Hornet Disaster is a bustling record with disparate songs each vying for space like wasps in a swarm. It can inspire caution and chaos, but there's wonder, purpose, and a certain familiarity there, too. Weatherday has extended the knotted, thrashing maximalism of Come in by doubling down with the uncompromised, no-stone-unturned nature of Hornet Disaster. Where Come in was the product of an artist searching for their voice, Hornet Disaster represents the joyful abandon that comes from having found it. Catch the band on tour this spring and summer across the US, UK, and Europe! read more →

While Iyer explored a more personal journey of self-love on KIND, she, her band, and a cohort of guest musicians embark on a new way of moving on TIDE/TIED, prizing collective care and communal healing as antidotes to the dissonances of living in a colonial, capitalistic world. read more →
