Last year, Bristol-based indie outfit Make Friends debuted their latest EP, Is This Real. Since debuting in 2019, the band have been honing a style built on layered songwriting and infectious indie melodies, pulling from 2010s indie dance punk touchstones like Foals or Bombay Bicycle Club. Their latest EP was their sharpest combination yet, with production courtesy of Pete Sené of Everything Everything.

Interpol are releasing a new album, The Other Side of Make-Believe, on July 15 via Matador. It was only announced last week, but now they have already shared its second single, “Something Changed,” via a video that is a continuation of the video for “Toni,” the album’s first single, which was shared last week. Frontman Paul Banks stars as a cop chasing down a partially blurred out naked couple.

Stereophonics are an easy target as bands go, and may be the most disrespected among the global-touring rock acts of their era.

And the iconic artwork of their masterful 2001 release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot—featuring the imposing twin towers of Chicago’s Marina City—is recognized by even the vaguest of acquaintances.

William Basinski and Janek Schaefer have shared a video for their new single, “...on reflection (three).” It is the latest release from their forthcoming album, …on reflection, which will be out on April 29 via Temporary Residence Ltd.

Seattle jazz collective High Pulp are by no means genre purists; in promoting their upcoming sophomore record Pursuit of Ends, they’ve touted their love of punk, shoegaze, and hip-hop, releasing singles laden with breakbeats and synthscapes. But the energy and improvisational spirit of jazz is what unites them, and in their latest track “You’ve Got To Pull It Up From The Ground (ft. Theo Croker)” they point back to the […]
