American Television Broadcasts a Message: You Are Not Alone In a world that too often feels disconnected, D.C.-based melodic punk band American Television is shouting a message so many need to hear: You Are Not Alone. No morse code, no word scamble or anagrams - just a straight-to-the-point, hopeful, inspiring message. The band’s latest six-song EP — sharing that very title — is set for release on September 19 via […]
The Drowns Turn It Up So You Can Put Down The Needle On Their New Live Album, 'Live at Rebellion If there’s one thing louder than the amps at a Drowns show, it’s the energy of the crowd — and now, for the first time, that riotous energy is captured on record. Seattle’s own The Drowns have unleashed their first-ever live album, Live At Rebellion, out now via Pirates Press […]
Rex Tycoon - 'No Limit 2 Luv' is a Love-Infused Revelation In a world that often feels like it’s tearing itself apart, Rex Tycoon offers one thing: uncompromising belief in love. Their debut full-length, No Limit 2 Luv, releases August 1 via Smartpunk Records and delivers just that—power-pop exuberance laced with punk grit and an unshakeable emotional core. Behind the album’s polished production lies six years of basement recording. The band—composed […]
The Strange Ones and Delta Wave Kick Off Local Split 7-inch Series What started as a bold idea from East Bay punk outfit The Strange Ones has evolved into a full-blown movement. Rather than releasing a traditional five-song EP, the band proposed something different: five split releases with five different local bands. It was a move rooted in community, collaboration, and a desire to create something bigger than themselves. […]
Mickey Moone Sets Out to 'Ride Alone' Canadian songwriter Mickey Moone isn’t asking for attention — but it’s hard not to give it to him. Armed with nothing more than a few mics, a couple of instruments, a stubborn work ethic, and a sharp instinct for melody, Moone has quietly built one of the most distinctive voices in modern roots music. And now, with the release of two strikingly different […]

Ben Nichols of Lucero Releases Latest Single to Upcoming Solo Album Sixteen years after his last solo release, The Last Pale Light in the West, Lucero frontman Ben Nichols returns with In the Heart of the Mountain—a haunting, poetic, and deeply personal album that trades distortion and barroom grit for acoustic reverie and emotional excavation. Released via Liberty & Lament, the label founded by Lucero, the album lands on July […]
Panic Shack Opens the Door to Thier Debut Album Cardiff’s Panic Shack are gearing up to shake things up—and not just their pun-adorned track titles—with tomorrow’s release of their debut full-length. The album lands on the heels of their explosive new single “Pockets,” a dancing punk banger that domes the trivial (no pockets in women’s clothes!) and turns it into an anthem of feminist empowerment and satirical fire. The video […]
Laura Jane Grace Prepares for Another 'Adventure' w. Trauma Laura Jane Grace roars into a new chapter of punk defiance and personal reinvention as Adventure Club — the long-anticipated album from Laura Jane Grace in The Trauma Tropes — arrives Friday, July 18, via Polyvinyl Record Co.

Their new single “Meet Me On The Dancefloor”, out now with a vibrant video and full summer swagger, is more than just a nostalgic nod to their roots—it's a full-throttle invitation to move, laugh, rebel, and feel. The single sets […]
