Philadelphia's most adventurous guitar pop band, Another Michael, are gearing up for the release of their new album Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down, and today they're back with another new single, "Seafood." Due out May 31st from Run For Cover Records, Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down arrives hot on the heels of its sibling, 2023's Wishes To Fulfill, providing a more experimental counterpart and highlighting Another Michael's unending creativity. 

"Seafood" follows "Mudslide," "Is There A World?," and the title track (which drew attention from the like of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, Paste Magazine, and more) and is yet another offering from the band's seemingly infinite well of stirring indie pop. The song unfolds around a swaying beat and shimmering guitars, with vocalist/guitarist Michael Doherty's singular voice at the center. 

Wishes To Fulfill garnered praise for its focus on instantly memorable hooks, and Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down offers a contrasting and complimentary side of Another Michael, bringing new hues to their vibrant sound. The album is still packed with the elements that make Another Michael so special--highly catchy melodies, inventive chord progressions, lush arrangements, and layered harmonies--all while venturing into rewarding untouched sonic territory.

Like Wishes To Fulfill before it, Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down finds Another Michael reveling in their love of song--creating and paying tribute to transcendent musical moments and celebrating the deeply personal relationship that can develop between a listener and music that they truly connect with. “Music is a medium of communication,” explains bassist Nick Sebastiano, “It’s not a purposeful decision to talk about music in our songs but it just inherently means so much to us. If something makes your heart sing, the audience is going to hear it.” Doherty adds, "I think good songs are just ones you can find yourself bringing with you all your life no matter where it takes you."

Another Michael also have a lengthy run of US tour dates coming up, with support from Tenci. See full itinerary below.

Since last year’s release, Narrow Head’s Moments of Clarity has earned sprawling high acclaim for its masterful and fresh mix of pop, grunge and shoegaze. Traversing the depths of towering riffs, bouncing, lock-grooved rhythms, and crystalline, gorgeously constructed hooks, the Houston-based outfit puts on a masterclass in the art of writing songs that match the pain, pleasure, and confusion of modern living. Today Narrow Head are pleased to announce a special deluxe reissue which includes remixes from Lil Aaron, atlgrandma, Pictureplane, TRANS FX, stripmallravestarrr, cole3k, plus other guests - just in time for their Coachella performances and next U.S. run.

PRE-ORDER 'MOMENTS OF CLARITY' DELUXE CD/DVD

Moments of Clarity Deluxe will be released across all digital retailers and CD (for the first time) on May 3. The CD comes paired with a DVD that includes both Moments’ official music videos and a live session which features Narrow Head’s take on NY Hardcore mainstays, Crown of Thornz’s “Love Sick”. Frontman Jacob Duarte tells, “Crown of Thornz has always been one of those bands that was influential to us, maybe not sonically but the idea, vibe and message speaks to us in a way. They have hard, weird guitar riffs that no one else can copy. Topped with emotional lyrics, it scratches the itch.” The cover is streaming today across all digital retailers.

WATCH "LOVE SICK" LIVE SESSION

Since their breakout year, Narrow Head have toured extensively worldwide and with an array of artists including support for Snail Mail, White Reaper, Turnover, Citizen, Gatecreeper, etc and late last year released a split 7” with Momma. They’re set to perform at Coachella both weekends just ahead of their Spring U.S. tour which includes dates with Interpol, Sheer Mag, Dazy and more, plus performances at this year’s Aftershock and Louder Than Life Festivals.

New York trio Horse Jumper of Love share “Gates of Heaven,” a brand new single released today. The song is the first taste of new music since 2023’s acclaimed mini-album, Heartbreak Rules, in which the group forwent their signature waves of fuzz and feedback, and instead highlighted the indelible songwriting at the core of their music. “Gates of Heaven,” recorded at Drop of Sun in Asheville, NC with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, MJ Lenderman), finds them back in full force.

“‘Gates of Heaven’ is an old song I had been sitting on since 2015. I wrote it after a painful breakup and also after someone close to me had died,” explains the band’s Dimitri Giannopoulos. “It was a soothing nostalgic melody that I played to help distract myself. When you’re young you think love is everything but I think I was too immature to know what love or death meant. My persecution complex shows strong... I was trying to understand why these things were happening to me instead of trying to understand the pain those close to me were going through.”

Additionally, the band has also shared “Snake Eyes (again),” a full band version of the Heartbreak Rules standout.

Horse Jumper of Love is hitting the road this spring and summer on tours that include dates supporting Alvvays and DIIV and a stop at Austin, TX’s SXSW Festival. All dates below.

Turnover have teamed up with a team of collaborators to release Myself in the Way: Remixes, a new vinyl release that features reimagined versions of the band’s infectious and trippy album Myself in the Way. Artists like Young Guv and Anthenagin offer drum & bass updates to singles “Myself in the Way” and “Wait Too Long,” while prior touring partner Healing Potpourri adds to the psychedelic trance of “Mountains Made of Clouds.” Even Turnover’s own Austin Getz contributes three remixes, turning songs like “People That We Know’ and “Stone Station” into trance-influenced electronic jams. Youtube sensation Frank Watkinson closes out the album with a different interpretation of “Mountains Made of Clouds,” with only an acoustic guitar and the song’s heartbreaking lyrics to recontextualize the song as what feels like a timeless folk-ballad.

All of the songs on Myself in the Way: Remixes will also be a part Myself in the Way Deluxe Edition, a 29-track album arriving digitally March 29th. This expansive release features the original album, all ten remixes, and seven live cuts tracked at Studio 4 in Conshohocken Pennsylvania with producer Will Yip. You can watch the video version of “Tears of Change” Live at Studio 4 on the Turnover YouTube channel now.

PREORDER NOW
STREAM "LEAP YEARS"

Leap Day only comes around once every four years, but this one marks an even more special occasion: the return of One Step Closer! Today the Wilkes-Barre melodic hardcore heroes are back with the announcement of their highly anticipated new full-length, All You Embrace. Due out May 17th from Run For Cover Records, the album boldly expands the scope of One Step Closer's sound, offering their most anthemic and passionate work to date.

All You Embrace follows 2021's This Place You Know and 2023's Songs For The Willow, releases that drew attention from the likes of Pitchfork, Stereogum, Revolver Magazine, The FADER, BrookylnVegan, NPR, SPIN, FLOOD Magazine, and more, and catapulted One Step Closer into the ranks of the most exciting new bands coming out of hardcore. All You Embrace makes good on all of that potential, leaning into the most melodic elements of the band's sound without sacrificing an ounce of energy. Today, One Step Closer fittingly shared the album's lead single "Leap Years," a blast of ultra-anthemic punk that perfectly bridges the fury of their early work and the unabashed melody of their latest chapter.

The band will also be continuing their non-stop touring ways in support of All You Embrace. Today marks the start of One Step Closer's North American co-headlining tour with Koyo and Anxious, and in May the band will be heading to the UK for Slam Dunk Festival. See full itinerary below.

Philadelphia's most adventurous guitar pop band, Another Michael, are gearing up for the release of their new album Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down, due out May 31st. The album arrives hot on the heels of its sibling, 2023's Wishes To Fulfill, providing a more experimental counterpart and highlighting Another Michael's unending creativity.

Wishes To Fulfill garnered praise from the likes of Stereogum, Uproxx, BrooklynVegan, Paste, and more for its focus on instantly memorable hooks, and Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down offers a contrasting and complimentary side of Another Michael, bringing new hues to their vibrant sound. The album is still packed with the elements that make Another Michael so special--highly catchy melodies, inventive chord progressions, lush arrangements, and layered harmonies--all while venturing into rewarding untouched sonic territory.

The album's lead single "Is There A World?" demonstrates this knack for bold songwriting. Stretching out over nearly five minutes, the song builds from a wandering piano line into a highly dynamic, multi-movement musical journey that would impress Paul Simon himself. Like Wishes To Fulfill before it, Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down finds Another Michael reveling in their love of song--creating and paying tribute to transcendent musical moments and celebrating the deeply personal relationship that can develop between a listener and music that they truly connect with. “Music is a medium of communication,” explains bassist Nick Sebastiano, “It’s not a purposeful decision to talk about music in our songs but it just inherently means so much to us.

Noah Weinman, aka Runnner, is back with more new music to kick off 2024. The Los Angeles-based songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist has quickly been making a name for himself as one of the most prolific and endearing modern indie folk artists, with a steady stream of music that culminated in his debut full-length, 2023's Like Dying Stars, We're Reaching Out (which drew praise from the likes of Pitchfork, The FADER, Stereogum, Uproxx, Paste Magazine, BrooklynVegan, Line of Best Fit, and many more). Now he's already returned with an unexpected follow-up: Starsdust, a twelve song album of ambient music that expands the possibilities of what Runnner can be.

Starsdust is rooted in Weinman's creative restlessness. The song sketches began as a way to stay occupied while traveling during his extensive touring schedule, but after suffering a severe injury to his achilles tendon, Weinman found himself homebound and dove into this new project. Like Dying Stars, We're Reaching Out provided the raw materials for the making of the new record, with its beautifully homespun indie folk and more structured songwriting drastically altered into the dreamlike atmospheres of Starsdust. "I made one rule for myself while making this record and it was that I wasn’t allowed to record any new audio," Weinman explains. "Every sound on this album is a repurposed stem from Like Dying Stars, We’re Reaching Out. I was allowed to pitch, flip, stretch, and chop anything I wanted, but everything had to begin from something already recorded for the last album." The result is an immersive set of songs that feel inviting and familiar yet unlike anything Runnner has released before.

Upcoming Shows:

Earlier this year, Runnner (aka LA-based songwriter Noah Weinman) released his debut full-length, Like Dying Stars, We're Reaching Out, drawing praise from the likes of Pitchfork, The FADER, Stereogum, Uproxx, Paste Magazine, BrooklynVegan, Line of Best Fit, and many more. Now Weinman has announced a deluxe version of the record that features a whopping eleven additional tracks.

Due out this Friday, December 8th from Run For Cover Records, Like Dying Stars, We're Reaching Out Deluxe, includes three b-sides from the album's sessions as well as live cuts from the Leeds date of Runnner's recent UK shows, and a stripped down performance from the band's Yellow House Session. Today Runnner has shared one of the b-sides, "another sublet" which offers an extra dose of Weinman's trademark hifi/lofi dynamics, intricate arrangements, and inviting melodies.

Since 2017 Weinman has been releasing music as Runnner, and the songwriter has already amassed an impressive catalog of beautifully homespun indie folk. Like Dying Stars, We're Reaching Out follows Runnner's 2021 collection album, Always Repeating, and marks his most fully realized work to date. The album is a culmination of years of songwriting and home-recording that manages to feel both intimate and cinematic all at once. Lyrically Weinman is often preoccupied with communication and the things that can go unspoken, even between people with a deep emotional bond. The songwriter describes a hectic headspace and the challenges of opening up in a way that feels at once highly specific and deeply relatable, all while the music unfolds in ways that are instantly appealing but reveal themselves even more with each listen--like an old friend that's still surprising you.

Runnner also has a number of upcoming shows including a special holiday show in Santa Ana with A.O. Gerber, Illuminati Hotties, and more. See full itinerary below.

Upcoming Shows:
12/17 Santa Ana, CA @ The Constellation Room w/ Illuminati Hotties

Today marks the first sign of life from the seemingly-extinct enigma that is glass beach, as the band releases their dark, dancy, post-punk/jazz hybrid, "the CIA." From the start, the song builds tension and confusion until it explodes into a brutal modern metal climax, flickering with glitchy production zaps and razor-sharp stops. It's a thrilling glimpse into a universe that front person and primary songwriter J. McClendon has been meticulously crafting, and was recorded in Los Angeles, engineered and mixed by McClendon and lead guitarist Layne Smith, and later mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Will Yip.

A must-see video for “the CIA" is also out today. Directed/edited by drummer William White, it's a compelling cinematic companion to the adventurous track.
