Last year brought an excellent collaboration from Montreal outfits Yoo Doo Right and Population II along with a Texan turn from Nolan Potter. The record quietly slipped out, but held a grip…
Still catching up a bit this week, but I’ve been meaning to get something up on this one for a while. Revered ‘90s outfit The Yummy Fur returns with their first album…
Good news out of Philly today. After a stellar standalone single last month, 2nd Grade has announced a new album with another buoyant bout of power pop in tow. Peter Gill returns…
Following a few singles over the last couple of years, Texas drone-psych outfit Chrome Chasm drapes news of a debut on the speakers along with a new song this week. Featuring RSTB…
Site favorite Nick Mitchell Maiato’s been out of the eye for a few years now, popping up briefly for a standalone single but largely quiet since a 2020 solo album and a…
