Runnner Shares New Single/Video "Spackle"

Raising Money w/ Yellow House for Wildfire Relief

Runnner is still on the move! The Los Angeles-based songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Noah Weinman stayed very busy in 2024, releasing an ambient album (Starsdust), an improvisational performance album (Dust 2), and kicking off a run of singles that includes "Untitled October Song" and January's most recent addition, "Coinstar." Today Runnner is back with another new single "Spackle" that continues to point towards the ambitious songwriting that's defining his latest chapter.

"Spackle" leans further into widescreen guitar music reminiscent of the early 2000s indie rock boom. The song's slow-burn verses explode into the kind of chorus that feels like it could soundtrack the most dramatic moment of your favorite Sundance film, and music keeps building and building for the duration of its nearly six minute runtime.

For the release of "Spackle" Weinman has teamed with Yellow House Sessions to raise money for LA wildfire relief. For the month of March, 100% of Bandcamp proceeds from "Spackle" as well as the Yellow House Session version will go to Mutual Aid LA Network, with Run For Cover Records matching the donation.

Weinman discussed the new song and its relationship to Yellow House, saying "We first premiered 'Spackle' in 2023 during a live performance for Yellow House Sessions, which is run by my friends Nina Raj and Erik Shute out of North Pasadena. They’ve been really important people in my life, as well as in the lives of so many in my community (both musical and non-musical). Their area was heavily affected by the Eaton Fire, and I wanted to use this release as a way to support them and their neighborhood." Wienman also delved into the track's lyrics, adding, "Whenever possible, I try to reduce the most complicated feelings to the simplest example. So, I framed this song around the day I went to finish patching up all the holes in the apartment I shared with my ex. This song took a long time to write. I had all these vignettes that I was pulling from to make this montage, but I had to cut a lot (the song is already five minutes long), so I wasn’t sure where to begin. I remember asking myself, 'What should it look like?' and then laughing as I thought, 'Yeah, let’s just start there.'"

Shute and Raj of Yellow House said, "We live on the edge of the burn zone and repairs to our yard and home will take time, but we’re hopeful that we can restore the space and eventually continue to host more backyard sessions. In the meantime, Nina is focused on her other project, Altadena Seed Library, which is a growing network of seed exchange boxes and educational and conservation resources. She’s working to regrow yards and developed green spaces across the neighborhood.”

Graham Hunt Signs To RFC, Stream "I Just Need Enough"

Stream “I Just Need Enough”

Graham Hunt has joined RFC. The Wisconsin-based songwriter drew acclaim for his 2023 album, Try Not To Laugh, and now he's gearing up for a big 2025, starting with the release of a new single, "I Just Need Enough."

"I Just Need Enough" is the perfect showcase of what make's Hunt's music so special. The track builds off of a grooving beat and a twisting guitar line, unfolding into into a sprawling chorus that you're sure to be humming long after this sub-three minute piece of ear candy is over. Hunt discussed the new song, saying "A friend and I were out walking and we ran into an old high school teacher of his. He asked if I wanted a guitar, he didn’t play it and he thought someone should. He said every day is another bite out of the shit sandwich. This was the first riff I wrote on it. It’s a song about love but it’s not a love song."

Stream "I Just Need Enough"

For years Hunt has been a stable of the Midwest indie rock world, leading Midnight Reruns and performing with artists like Mike Krol and Disq. In 2019 he released his first solo record and has been on a tear ever since, steadily creating album after album of songs that are as catchy as they are quirky. His sound collage style brings to mind eccentric '90s rockers like Soul Coughing, The Flaming Lips, or Eels, but blended with a DIY punk immediacy--Hunt's songs might be full of unexpected sonic details, but first and foremost they deliver big hooks. 2025 will see plenty more new music from Hunt and his new partnership with RFC.

Hunt will also be hitting the road this spring with a recently announced run of North American tour dates with Liquid Mike and Dazy. See full itinerary below.

Stream Great Grandpa "Ladybug" ahead of 'Patience, Moonbeam' out 3/28

Earlier this year, “indie darlings” (Exclaim) Great Grandpa announced their long-awaited album, Patience, Moonbeam, out March 28th. Today, they present a new single/video, “Ladybug.” Following the “riveting folk odyssey” (Stereogum) “Junior,” “Kid,” and “Doom,” “Ladybug” is playful and exuberant. Its collaboratively written lyrics lean whimsical - “dressed like Donald Glover on a GQ cover” and “you’re just a ladybug, dressed like Mama Duggar as a 90s mother.” The song’s accompanying video, directed by the band’s Dylan Hanwright, features footage taken from the band’s recording sessions and tours

The band elaborates on the track: “Every once in a while you find yourself tripping on a beautiful day with a best friend and stumble into the middle of a stranger's wedding in a park. It's always these small fickle, fleeting moments we're seeking that can never be bottled or sustained. What good luck does the ladybug bring? We scream together for those shared seconds of unadulterated joy. We'll feel ok when it comes back again right? Kid Cudi did it first.”

PELICAN JOIN RFC, "FLICKERING RESONANCE" OUT MAY 16

FIRST ALBUM FROM FOUNDING LINEUP SINCE 2009

Chicago rock institution Pelican have announced that their first full length in six years, Flickering Resonance, is set for release May 16 via RFC, and unveiled plans for US and EU tours this Summer to follow their run supporting Russian Circles this March (full tour dates below). With founding guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec rejoining the band for his first full length since 2009’s What We All Come To Need, the album’s eight songs tap into the spirit of their formative era when Schroeder-Lebec teamed with fellow guitarist Trevor Shelley de Brauw and brothers Bryan and Larry Herweg (on bass and drums respectively) during the heyday of Chicago’s all ages hub Fireside Bowl. The venue’s variegated booking style would often result in post-hardcore, space-rock, indie, metal, and emo bands sharing bills, unwittingly providing a vast template of influences for the young band. "A lot of people didn’t hear it at first,” says Schroeder-Lebec of the band’s roots in a panoply of punk-related subgenres. “I was like, well, I guess the metal world is where we fit. But now we're more willing to acknowledge all the suits we’re wearing.”

Though Pelican’s thick sonic backbone remains intact, via a recording by longtime ally Sanford Parker (a collaborator as far back as their first EP), the songs on Flickering Resonance demonstrate a more humanistic side of the band. Songs like “Pining For Ever” and “Indelible” tease Pelican’s doom-metal bonafides while feeling equally ebullient and earnest - playing like a downtuned Texas Is The Reason transmuted to a post-rock landscape. Meanwhile songs like the searing lead single “Cascading Crescent” act as an appreciation for the glimmers of joy that occur even in the bleakest landscapes, as represented by an opening cavalcade of heavy riffs that pivot mid-song to a sugar rush of pastoral melodies. In conjunction with the album’s pre-order, the song is being made available as a limited edition 7” single featuring a vocal version (exclusive to the vinyl) fronted by emo icon Geoff Rickly of Thursday on the b-side.

“When Laurent left and we were able to carry it through, there became a real sense of gratitude for the fact we still have this artistic outlet and a community of people who want to support it,” states Shelley de Brauw, referencing Schroeder-Lebec’s ten year sabbatical from the group. That feeling of deep, grounded appreciation doesn’t just dwell within the band members, it’s expressed outwardly in every track on Flickering Resonance. Because at the core of Pelican are four individuals who have grown both separately and together, and always will.

Listen to new Anxious single "Some Girls", Bambi out 2/21

Bambi out 2/21

Connecticut punk upstarts, Anxious, are gearing up for their highly anticipated sophomore album, Bambi, due out February 21. Today they're sharing another massive single "Some Girls" along with an in-depth interview via Stereogum.

Bambi follows Anxious' acclaimed 2022 full-length, Little Green House, and finds the band fully embracing the widescreen alternative rock songwriting they've always hinted at. It's a record of growth and depth that's sonically ambitious while further amplifying the seamless combination of hardcore grit and classic emo dynamism that's made them such a beloved young band.

STREAM "SOME GIRLS" EVERYWHERE

Earlier singles "Counting Sheep" and "Head & Spine" introduced Anxious' next chapter (and drew praise from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, Alt Press, and more) and now "Some Girls" further expands Bambi's sonic world. The song begins with a plaintive riff before exploding into a sky-high chorus of layered harmonies and powerful guitars, drawing on influences like Jimmy Eat World, Third Eye Blind, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The Beach Boys, and coming out sounding more definitively like Anxious than ever.

Stereogum praised Bambi, calling it, "...the kind of sophomore album that you always hope a young emo band will make. That means it’s bigger, catchier, follows more threads, yet doesn’t sand down the rougher edges that were on their also-awesome debut, 2022’s Little Green House — it just makes them hit harder through more sophisticated songcraft.”

Upcoming Tour Dates:
2/1/25 Boston, MA - Something in the Way Fest
3/11/25 Philadelphia, PA @ Ukie Club

Runnner Shares New Single/Video "Coinstar"

Streaming everywhere now

Runnner can't stop moving. Last year Los Angeles-based songwriter / producer / multi-instrumentalist Noah Weinman released an ambient album (Starsdust) and a improvisational performance album (Dust 2), and a stripped down single "Untitled October Song." Today, Weinman is back with "Coinstar" a massive new song that announces the start of Runnner's next chapter.

Runnner's 2024 may have delved more into Weinman's more experimental side, but "Coinstar" makes it clear that this year he'll be going in a different direction. The widescreen song roars to life with vibrant guitars and sweeping atmospherics that recall the heyday of early 2000s indie rock, all bolstered by Weinman's warm voice and deeply earnest lyricism. It's a truly huge sounding track that demands to be played loudly with the windows down--and it's just the beginning.

Weinman discussed the new song's sound and lyrics, saying:

"When I first wrote this song I was very excited. It felt like a flying train (if that makes sense). I quickly made a demo at home and thought about finishing it the way I so often did, but I wanted to see how far I could push it. To really pack that punch with big guitars and that soaring pedal steel from Tommy. It’s the first song I’ve done since starting Runnner that I really wanted to do in a studio to get that big sound.

To me this song is about trying merge the parts of me that crave stability and comfort (wanting to one day have a family and settle down and all that) with the parts that want to keep touring and living this kind of exciting troubadour life. What I sometimes jokingly call my romantic life vs my Romantic life. I always saw myself as someone who would have a family but I also acknowledge that basically all the steps I’ve taken in my adult life seem to oppose that. So in the song I’m seeking answers in coin flips and laughing at myself for the futility."

Great Grandpa Announce First New Album in 5 Years

Patince, Moonbeam is out March 28

Great Grandpa announce their highly-anticipated new album, Patience, Moonbeam, out March 28th via Run For Cover Records, and present a rollicking new single, “Junior.” Patience, Moonbeam is Great Grandpa’s first record in five years. The band has been on a clear trajectory of both refining and re-defining their sonic identity, from the sparkling pop-grunge of their first record Plastic Cough (2017), to the sprawling indie rock of critically acclaimed Four of Arrows (2019). Patience, Moonbeam delivers on that promise, taking the band’s DNA and elevating it. It’s prismatic and deeply moving — the sound of lifelong friends and collaborators growing up and growing together.

With Patience, Moonbeam, Great Grandpa has crafted a triumphant document of what happens when your collaborators become your chosen family. When you make the decision to return to each other even after the winds of change have taken you apart. When you find that growing up and out in different directions only brings you closer together. “We’re all like individual swinging pendulums,” says Dylan, “and every now and then we come into sync for a few rotations. Sometimes it’s two of us, sometimes three of us, often it’s not any of us. But when it does come together, it’s really beautiful.” The result is Great Grandpa’s most ambitious and confident-sounding album yet.
