Fucked Up
FUCKED UP With One Day, Fucked Up have delivered one of the most energizing and intricate albums of their entire career, a massive-sounding record that arrives in deceptively small confines. The Canadian hardcore legends have been known for their epic scale in the past, from towering concept albums to 12-hour performances—so it might be a […]
Control Top
CONTROL TOP Covert contracts rule our world: manipulative relationships, encoded social norms, opaque technologies. “With a covert contract, the trick is that the agreement is only known by the person who makes it,” says Ali Carter, singer and bassist of Philly post-punk trio Control Top. “The other person is oblivious.

Zach Templar
ZACH TEMPLAR The past year has been a blur for British-Colombian artist Zach Templar, who’s quickly skyrocketed to one of the buzziest names in alternative music all simply from the laptop in his bedroom in Somerset, UK.

Luna Li
LUNA LI Luna Li is more than a musical project. It’s a world unto itself, and a kingdom of its creator’s making.

LIFEGUARD Formed in 2019, Lifeguard are Asher Case (bass, vocals), Isaac Lowenstein (drums, percussion), and Kai Slater (guitar, vocals). At its core, Lifeguard is a punk band.

Hinds
HINDS The fourth album from Spanish indie rockers Hinds opens with a song called “Hi, How Are You,” and at the time they were writing it, best friends Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote would’ve responded: Not great. “Hey, you ok?” Perrote sings to Cosials, who responds: “I’ve been better tbh.” It’s an apt introduction to […]
