Turnover have announced the first string of shows celebrating 10 years of their iconic sophomore LP "Peripheral Vision". Tickets are available now for the first six shows at www.turnovermusic.net
Horrible Occurrences marks the first full-length of Advance Base originals since 2018's Animal Companionship, and it's well worth the wait. Full of richly detailed sounds and lyrics, it's a beautiful and deeply human record highlighting everything that's so unique about Ashworth's writing and way with melody.
Horrible Occurrences is concept album set in the fictional town of Richmond, which Ashworth describes as a "place where all the bad memories live" and its early singles "The Year I Lived In Richmond" and "Brian's Golden Hour" have introduced some of the scenes and characters (as well as drawing attention from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more). "The Tooth Fairy" arrives alongside a music video created by Nathania Rubin and continues to expand the album's cast. The track offers another melancholy tale that's sure to leave listeners heartbroken yet ready to visit Richmond in full this Friday.
Connecticut's favorite punks, Anxious, recently announced their sophomore album, Bambi, due out February 21st via Run For Cover Records, and today they're back with the record's gigantic second single, "Head & Spine."
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.
The record's lead single "Counting Sheep" drew praise from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, Alt Press, and more, and now "Head & Spine" provides another taste of Anxious' musical level-up. The mid-album standout opens with the combination of powerhouse guitars and shimmering textures that defines Bambi's sonic world, and quickly arrives at the kind of sky-high chorus that the band truly excel at. It's another example of Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.
Advance Base recently announced his upcoming album, Horrible Occurrences, and today Owen Ashworth's beloved and long-running project is back with the record's second single, "Brian's Golden Hour."
Due out December 6th via Run For Cover Records, Horrible Occurrences marks the first full-length of Advance Base originals since 2018's Animal Companionship, and it's well worth the wait. Full of richly detailed sounds and lyrics, Horrible Occurrences is a beautiful and deeply human record that tap into everything that’s so unique about Ashworth's writing and way with melody.
Horrible Occurrences is a concept album set in the fictional town of Richmond, which Ashworth describes as a "place where all the bad memories live." Early single "The Year I Lived In Richmond" set the scene (and drew attention from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more) and now "Brian's Golden Hour" introduces another new character through a beautifully arranged cut of atmospheric synths and a steady drum machine pulse.
Portrayal of Guilt celebrates the three-year anniversary of their widely praised album Christf**ker this week with the release of a remixed version titled Christf**ker II. Featuring innovative remixes by an array of artists including Pictureplane, DJ Speedstick, Buzz Kull, Vowws, Pendant, Anatomy and more, this LP reimagines the original album, capturing the genre-bending core of the band while inviting listeners into a new sonic landscape that blends Christf**ker with electronic beats.
The featured remix of “…where the suffering never ends” by Anatomy (NYC’s Jenna Rose) is available today and comes accompanied with a music video, which itself is a remix of late-stage capitalism pharmaceutical ads.
Portrayal of Guilt are currently crossing North America with Touche Amore, Soul Glo and perform in Austin on December 7 with Blood Brothers. Dates and more below.
Oct 28 : Atlanta, GA - The Masquerade - Hell Stage ~ Oct 29: Durham, NC - The Fruit ~ Oct 31 : Brooklyn, NY - Warsaw ~ Nov 01: Washington, DC - Black Cat ~ Nov 02: Philadelphia, PA - Union Transfer ~ Nov 03: Boston, MA - Paradise Rock Club ~ Dec 07: Austin, TX - Mohawk +
The one and only Wicca Phase Springs Eternal (aka Pennsylvania-based singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Adam McIlwee) has released his new EP, Midnight at the Castle Moorlands, out today.
Midnight at the Castle Moorlands finds McIlwee self-producing for the first time, allowing him to make some of his most fully-realized and immersive music yet. Early singles "Venti Iced Americano," "I Know The Raven," "My Name is the Endless Night" showcased WPSE's ability to swing from atmospheric soundscapes, to thumping beats, to jangly indie--all while sounding as daring and cohesive as ever. Now listeners can explore the Castle Moorlands in full and experience the latest chapter in WPSE's ongoing story.
For over a decade Wicca Phase Springs Eternal has been creating a body of work that's as unpredictable as it is impressive. McIlwee got his start as a member of indie favorites, Tigers Jaw, then with WPSE he founded Gothboiclique and was a trailblazer within the world of Soundcloud rap. Since then he's collaborated with Ethel Cain and even written a theme song for AEW wrestling star Darby Allin, all while defying genre boundaries and constantly adding to his massive catalog.
Last year McIlwee released Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, a self-titled full-length that brought a cosmic scope to his ever-evolving sound. The album had barely been released before he was back to writing more new music, and when it came time to really consider a follow-up, McIlwee knew he wanted to fully self-produce it. While Wicca Phase Springs Eternal was widescreen and maximal, Midnight at the Castle Moorlands pulls things back, aiming for an unexpected kind of naturalism within WPSE’s pointedly supernatural world. Recorded with engineer Matt Schimelfenig (Spirit of the Beehive, Golden Apples, Slaughter Beach, Dog) the Midnight at the Castle Moorlands is imbued with a warm, tangible grit that compliments the mystical settings and earnest feelings that McIlwee explores lyrically. "I wanted to make the most organic sounding album I could while using electronic production," he explains. “I’m always trying to figure out how to immerse the listener even more–whether that’s sonically or lyrically, and for these songs that meant reining things in and grounding them. I didn’t want to keep getting bigger and bigger, I wanted something looser and more lo-fi.”
Today, Great Grandpa present a new single, “Doom”, and announce their first tour in 5 years. Great Grandpa recently made their highly-anticipated and “epic return” (Brooklyn Vegan) with the gorgeous track “Kid,” and Doom” is another cathartic entry in the band’s beloved catalog. Penned by Pat Goodwin soon after the release of 2019’s acclaimed Four of Arrows, the song swirled in the band’s consciousness, taking on many iterations before being officially recorded in 2024. “Doom,” produced by guitarist/engineer Dylan Hanwright and Goodwin, is the bands’ first self-produced track since 2017’s Plastic Cough. It sees the band at the furthest end of their prog/math-rock spectrum — at times embracing the odd time signatures and heavy electric guitar of their early years while expanding on the dark, knotty chamber-folk of Four of Arrows.
In the fall of 2020, Great Grandpa - the close-knit group of Al Menne, Dylan Hanwright, Cam LaFlam, and Pat and Carrie Goodwin - didn’t know if they would go on. After starting on the follow-up to Four of Arrows, each member was called in different directions, some to new countries, new jobs, new life stages. But as Menne puts it simply, “Time passed and I missed my friends.” As any good relationship built on mutual love, trust, and a mountain of shared history, the quintet—who grew up in Seattle and have been making music together for a decade—were drawn back into one another’s orbits in 2023. And now, with two new tracks and a run of tour dates on their belt, Great Grandpa continues. These upcoming live shows will be fans’ first opportunity to hear new music live. A full list of dates can be found below.
Great Grandpa Tour Dates Sat. Nov. 2 - Seattle, WA @ Tractor Tavern ^ Wed. Jan. 29 - Washington, DC @ Songbyrd Thu. Jan. 30 - Philadelphia, PA @ Johnny Brenda Fri. Jan. 31 - Brooklyn, NY @ Baby’s All Right Sat. Feb. 1 - Boston, MA @ Something in the Way Fest

Anxious have returned! The Connecticut-based punk favorites have announced their sophomore album, Bambi, due out February 21st.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.
To mark the announcement, the group have shared Bambi's gigantic lead single "Counting Sheep." From the song's very first seconds it's clear that this is Anxious on another level. Lush harmonies ring out over shimmering guitars before the song explodes into walls of distorted guitars and powerhouse drumming, wrapped up with one of the biggest choruses the group ever penned. It's a track that manages to nod to Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.
Bambi is out February 21st. The band has a string of upcoming East Coast shows, with more to be announced soon.
Upcoming Shows: 10/26 Queens, NY @ Transpecos 11/02 Richmond, VA @ LTC Fest 12/13 Amherst, MA @ The Drake 12/14 Buffalo, NY @ Blissmas 2024 02/01 Boston, MA @ Something in the Way Fest

The track offers another melancholy tale that's sure to leave listeners heartbroken yet ready to visit Richmond in full this Friday.
Connecticut's favorite punks, Anxious, recently announced their sophomore album, Bambi, due out February 21st via Run For Cover Records, and today they're back with the record's gigantic second single, "Head & Spine."
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.
The record's lead single "Counting Sheep" drew praise from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, Alt Press, and more, and now "Head & Spine" provides another taste of Anxious' musical level-up. The mid-album standout opens with the combination of powerhouse guitars and shimmering textures that defines Bambi's sonic world, and quickly arrives at the kind of sky-high chorus that the band truly excel at. It's another example of Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.
Advance Base recently announced his upcoming album, Horrible Occurrences, and today Owen Ashworth's beloved and long-running project is back with the record's second single, "Brian's Golden Hour."
Due out December 6th via Run For Cover Records, Horrible Occurrences marks the first full-length of Advance Base originals since 2018's Animal Companionship, and it's well worth the wait. Full of richly detailed sounds and lyrics, Horrible Occurrences is a beautiful and deeply human record that tap into everything that’s so unique about Ashworth's writing and way with melody.

Early single "The Year I Lived In Richmond" set the scene (and drew attention from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more) and now "Brian's Golden Hour" introduces another new character through a beautifully arranged cut of atmospheric synths and a steady drum machine pulse.
Portrayal of Guilt celebrates the three-year anniversary of their widely praised album Christf**ker this week with the release of a remixed version titled Christf**ker II. Featuring innovative remixes by an array of artists including Pictureplane, DJ Speedstick, Buzz Kull, Vowws, Pendant, Anatomy and more, this LP reimagines the original album, capturing the genre-bending core of the band while inviting listeners into a new sonic landscape that blends Christf**ker with electronic beats.
The featured remix of “…where the suffering never ends” by Anatomy (NYC’s Jenna Rose) is available today and comes accompanied with a music video, which itself is a remix of late-stage capitalism pharmaceutical ads.
Portrayal of Guilt are currently crossing North America with Touche Amore, Soul Glo and perform in Austin on December 7 with Blood Brothers. Dates and more below.
Oct 28 : Atlanta, GA - The Masquerade - Hell Stage ~ Oct 29: Durham, NC - The Fruit ~ Oct 31 : Brooklyn, NY - Warsaw ~ Nov 01: Washington, DC - Black Cat ~ Nov 02: Philadelphia, PA - Union Transfer ~ Nov 03: Boston, MA - Paradise Rock Club ~ Dec 07: Austin, TX - Mohawk +
The one and only Wicca Phase Springs Eternal (aka Pennsylvania-based singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Adam McIlwee) has released his new EP, Midnight at the Castle Moorlands, out today.
Midnight at the Castle Moorlands finds McIlwee self-producing for the first time, allowing him to make some of his most fully-realized and immersive music yet. Early singles "Venti Iced Americano," "I Know The Raven," "My Name is the Endless Night" showcased WPSE's ability to swing from atmospheric soundscapes, to thumping beats, to jangly indie--all while sounding as daring and cohesive as ever. Now listeners can explore the Castle Moorlands in full and experience the latest chapter in WPSE's ongoing story.
For over a decade Wicca Phase Springs Eternal has been creating a body of work that's as unpredictable as it is impressive. McIlwee got his start as a member of indie favorites, Tigers Jaw, then with WPSE he founded Gothboiclique and was a trailblazer within the world of Soundcloud rap. Since then he's collaborated with Ethel Cain and even written a theme song for AEW wrestling star Darby Allin, all while defying genre boundaries and constantly adding to his massive catalog.
Last year McIlwee released Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, a self-titled full-length that brought a cosmic scope to his ever-evolving sound. The album had barely been released before he was back to writing more new music, and when it came time to really consider a follow-up, McIlwee knew he wanted to fully self-produce it. While Wicca Phase Springs Eternal was widescreen and maximal, Midnight at the Castle Moorlands pulls things back, aiming for an unexpected kind of naturalism within WPSE’s pointedly supernatural world. Recorded with engineer Matt Schimelfenig (Spirit of the Beehive, Golden Apples, Slaughter Beach, Dog) the Midnight at the Castle Moorlands is imbued with a warm, tangible grit that compliments the mystical settings and earnest feelings that McIlwee explores lyrically. "I wanted to make the most organic sounding album I could while using electronic production," he explains. “I’m always trying to figure out how to immerse the listener even more–whether that’s sonically or lyrically, and for these songs that meant reining things in and grounding them. I didn’t want to keep getting bigger and bigger, I wanted something looser and more lo-fi.”
Today, Great Grandpa present a new single, “Doom”, and announce their first tour in 5 years. Great Grandpa recently made their highly-anticipated and “epic return” (Brooklyn Vegan) with the gorgeous track “Kid,” and Doom” is another cathartic entry in the band’s beloved catalog. Penned by Pat Goodwin soon after the release of 2019’s acclaimed Four of Arrows, the song swirled in the band’s consciousness, taking on many iterations before being officially recorded in 2024. “Doom,” produced by guitarist/engineer Dylan Hanwright and Goodwin, is the bands’ first self-produced track since 2017’s Plastic Cough. It sees the band at the furthest end of their prog/math-rock spectrum — at times embracing the odd time signatures and heavy electric guitar of their early years while expanding on the dark, knotty chamber-folk of Four of Arrows.
In the fall of 2020, Great Grandpa - the close-knit group of Al Menne, Dylan Hanwright, Cam LaFlam, and Pat and Carrie Goodwin - didn’t know if they would go on. After starting on the follow-up to Four of Arrows, each member was called in different directions, some to new countries, new jobs, new life stages. But as Menne puts it simply, “Time passed and I missed my friends.” As any good relationship built on mutual love, trust, and a mountain of shared history, the quintet—who grew up in Seattle and have been making music together for a decade—were drawn back into one another’s orbits in 2023. And now, with two new tracks and a run of tour dates on their belt, Great Grandpa continues. These upcoming live shows will be fans’ first opportunity to hear new music live. A full list of dates can be found below.
Great Grandpa Tour Dates Sat. Nov. 2 - Seattle, WA @ Tractor Tavern ^ Wed. Jan. 29 - Washington, DC @ Songbyrd Thu. Jan. 30 - Philadelphia, PA @ Johnny Brenda Fri. Jan. 31 - Brooklyn, NY @ Baby’s All Right Sat. Feb. 1 - Boston, MA @ Something in the Way Fest

Anxious have returned! The Connecticut-based punk favorites have announced their sophomore album, Bambi, due out February 21st.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.
To mark the announcement, the group have shared Bambi's gigantic lead single "Counting Sheep." From the song's very first seconds it's clear that this is Anxious on another level. Lush harmonies ring out over shimmering guitars before the song explodes into walls of distorted guitars and powerhouse drumming, wrapped up with one of the biggest choruses the group ever penned. It's a track that manages to nod to Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.
Bambi is out February 21st. The band has a string of upcoming East Coast shows, with more to be announced soon.

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.
The record's lead single "Counting Sheep" drew praise from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, Alt Press, and more, and now "Head & Spine" provides another taste of Anxious' musical level-up. The mid-album standout opens with the combination of powerhouse guitars and shimmering textures that defines Bambi's sonic world, and quickly arrives at the kind of sky-high chorus that the band truly excel at. It's another example of Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.
Advance Base recently announced his upcoming album, Horrible Occurrences, and today Owen Ashworth's beloved and long-running project is back with the record's second single, "Brian's Golden Hour."
Due out December 6th via Run For Cover Records, Horrible Occurrences marks the first full-length of Advance Base originals since 2018's Animal Companionship, and it's well worth the wait. Full of richly detailed sounds and lyrics, Horrible Occurrences is a beautiful and deeply human record that tap into everything that’s so unique about Ashworth's writing and way with melody.
Horrible Occurrences is a concept album set in the fictional town of Richmond, which Ashworth describes as a "place where all the bad memories live." Early single "The Year I Lived In Richmond" set the scene (and drew attention from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more) and now "Brian's Golden Hour" introduces another new character through a beautifully arranged cut of atmospheric synths and a steady drum machine pulse.
Portrayal of Guilt celebrates the three-year anniversary of their widely praised album Christf**ker this week with the release of a remixed version titled Christf**ker II. Featuring innovative remixes by an array of artists including Pictureplane, DJ Speedstick, Buzz Kull, Vowws, Pendant, Anatomy and more, this LP reimagines the original album, capturing the genre-bending core of the band while inviting listeners into a new sonic landscape that blends Christf**ker with electronic beats.
The featured remix of “…where the suffering never ends” by Anatomy (NYC’s Jenna Rose) is available today and comes accompanied with a music video, which itself is a remix of late-stage capitalism pharmaceutical ads.
Portrayal of Guilt are currently crossing North America with Touche Amore, Soul Glo and perform in Austin on December 7 with Blood Brothers. Dates and more below.
Oct 28 : Atlanta, GA - The Masquerade - Hell Stage ~ Oct 29: Durham, NC - The Fruit ~ Oct 31 : Brooklyn, NY - Warsaw ~ Nov 01: Washington, DC - Black Cat ~ Nov 02: Philadelphia, PA - Union Transfer ~ Nov 03: Boston, MA - Paradise Rock Club ~ Dec 07: Austin, TX - Mohawk +
The one and only Wicca Phase Springs Eternal (aka Pennsylvania-based singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Adam McIlwee) has released his new EP, Midnight at the Castle Moorlands, out today.
Midnight at the Castle Moorlands finds McIlwee self-producing for the first time, allowing him to make some of his most fully-realized and immersive music yet. Early singles "Venti Iced Americano," "I Know The Raven," "My Name is the Endless Night" showcased WPSE's ability to swing from atmospheric soundscapes, to thumping beats, to jangly indie--all while sounding as daring and cohesive as ever. Now listeners can explore the Castle Moorlands in full and experience the latest chapter in WPSE's ongoing story.
For over a decade Wicca Phase Springs Eternal has been creating a body of work that's as unpredictable as it is impressive. McIlwee got his start as a member of indie favorites, Tigers Jaw, then with WPSE he founded Gothboiclique and was a trailblazer within the world of Soundcloud rap. Since then he's collaborated with Ethel Cain and even written a theme song for AEW wrestling star Darby Allin, all while defying genre boundaries and constantly adding to his massive catalog.
Last year McIlwee released Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, a self-titled full-length that brought a cosmic scope to his ever-evolving sound. The album had barely been released before he was back to writing more new music, and when it came time to really consider a follow-up, McIlwee knew he wanted to fully self-produce it. While Wicca Phase Springs Eternal was widescreen and maximal, Midnight at the Castle Moorlands pulls things back, aiming for an unexpected kind of naturalism within WPSE’s pointedly supernatural world. Recorded with engineer Matt Schimelfenig (Spirit of the Beehive, Golden Apples, Slaughter Beach, Dog) the Midnight at the Castle Moorlands is imbued with a warm, tangible grit that compliments the mystical settings and earnest feelings that McIlwee explores lyrically. "I wanted to make the most organic sounding album I could while using electronic production," he explains. “I’m always trying to figure out how to immerse the listener even more–whether that’s sonically or lyrically, and for these songs that meant reining things in and grounding them. I didn’t want to keep getting bigger and bigger, I wanted something looser and more lo-fi.”
Today, Great Grandpa present a new single, “Doom”, and announce their first tour in 5 years. Great Grandpa recently made their highly-anticipated and “epic return” (Brooklyn Vegan) with the gorgeous track “Kid,” and Doom” is another cathartic entry in the band’s beloved catalog. Penned by Pat Goodwin soon after the release of 2019’s acclaimed Four of Arrows, the song swirled in the band’s consciousness, taking on many iterations before being officially recorded in 2024. “Doom,” produced by guitarist/engineer Dylan Hanwright and Goodwin, is the bands’ first self-produced track since 2017’s Plastic Cough. It sees the band at the furthest end of their prog/math-rock spectrum — at times embracing the odd time signatures and heavy electric guitar of their early years while expanding on the dark, knotty chamber-folk of Four of Arrows.
In the fall of 2020, Great Grandpa - the close-knit group of Al Menne, Dylan Hanwright, Cam LaFlam, and Pat and Carrie Goodwin - didn’t know if they would go on. After starting on the follow-up to Four of Arrows, each member was called in different directions, some to new countries, new jobs, new life stages. But as Menne puts it simply, “Time passed and I missed my friends.” As any good relationship built on mutual love, trust, and a mountain of shared history, the quintet—who grew up in Seattle and have been making music together for a decade—were drawn back into one another’s orbits in 2023. And now, with two new tracks and a run of tour dates on their belt, Great Grandpa continues. These upcoming live shows will be fans’ first opportunity to hear new music live. A full list of dates can be found below.
Great Grandpa Tour Dates Sat. Nov. 2 - Seattle, WA @ Tractor Tavern ^ Wed. Jan. 29 - Washington, DC @ Songbyrd Thu. Jan. 30 - Philadelphia, PA @ Johnny Brenda Fri. Jan. 31 - Brooklyn, NY @ Baby’s All Right Sat. Feb. 1 - Boston, MA @ Something in the Way Fest

Anxious have returned! The Connecticut-based punk favorites have announced their sophomore album, Bambi, due out February 21st.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.
To mark the announcement, the group have shared Bambi's gigantic lead single "Counting Sheep." From the song's very first seconds it's clear that this is Anxious on another level. Lush harmonies ring out over shimmering guitars before the song explodes into walls of distorted guitars and powerhouse drumming, wrapped up with one of the biggest choruses the group ever penned. It's a track that manages to nod to Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.
Bambi is out February 21st. The band has a string of upcoming East Coast shows, with more to be announced soon.

It's another example of Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.
Advance Base recently announced his upcoming album, Horrible Occurrences, and today Owen Ashworth's beloved and long-running project is back with the record's second single, "Brian's Golden Hour."
Due out December 6th via Run For Cover Records, Horrible Occurrences marks the first full-length of Advance Base originals since 2018's Animal Companionship, and it's well worth the wait. Full of richly detailed sounds and lyrics, Horrible Occurrences is a beautiful and deeply human record that tap into everything that’s so unique about Ashworth's writing and way with melody.
Horrible Occurrences is a concept album set in the fictional town of Richmond, which Ashworth describes as a "place where all the bad memories live." Early single "The Year I Lived In Richmond" set the scene (and drew attention from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more) and now "Brian's Golden Hour" introduces another new character through a beautifully arranged cut of atmospheric synths and a steady drum machine pulse.
Portrayal of Guilt celebrates the three-year anniversary of their widely praised album Christf**ker this week with the release of a remixed version titled Christf**ker II. Featuring innovative remixes by an array of artists including Pictureplane, DJ Speedstick, Buzz Kull, Vowws, Pendant, Anatomy and more, this LP reimagines the original album, capturing the genre-bending core of the band while inviting listeners into a new sonic landscape that blends Christf**ker with electronic beats.
The featured remix of “…where the suffering never ends” by Anatomy (NYC’s Jenna Rose) is available today and comes accompanied with a music video, which itself is a remix of late-stage capitalism pharmaceutical ads.
Portrayal of Guilt are currently crossing North America with Touche Amore, Soul Glo and perform in Austin on December 7 with Blood Brothers. Dates and more below.

The one and only Wicca Phase Springs Eternal (aka Pennsylvania-based singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Adam McIlwee) has released his new EP, Midnight at the Castle Moorlands, out today.
Midnight at the Castle Moorlands finds McIlwee self-producing for the first time, allowing him to make some of his most fully-realized and immersive music yet. Early singles "Venti Iced Americano," "I Know The Raven," "My Name is the Endless Night" showcased WPSE's ability to swing from atmospheric soundscapes, to thumping beats, to jangly indie--all while sounding as daring and cohesive as ever. Now listeners can explore the Castle Moorlands in full and experience the latest chapter in WPSE's ongoing story.
For over a decade Wicca Phase Springs Eternal has been creating a body of work that's as unpredictable as it is impressive. McIlwee got his start as a member of indie favorites, Tigers Jaw, then with WPSE he founded Gothboiclique and was a trailblazer within the world of Soundcloud rap. Since then he's collaborated with Ethel Cain and even written a theme song for AEW wrestling star Darby Allin, all while defying genre boundaries and constantly adding to his massive catalog.
Last year McIlwee released Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, a self-titled full-length that brought a cosmic scope to his ever-evolving sound. The album had barely been released before he was back to writing more new music, and when it came time to really consider a follow-up, McIlwee knew he wanted to fully self-produce it. While Wicca Phase Springs Eternal was widescreen and maximal, Midnight at the Castle Moorlands pulls things back, aiming for an unexpected kind of naturalism within WPSE’s pointedly supernatural world. Recorded with engineer Matt Schimelfenig (Spirit of the Beehive, Golden Apples, Slaughter Beach, Dog) the Midnight at the Castle Moorlands is imbued with a warm, tangible grit that compliments the mystical settings and earnest feelings that McIlwee explores lyrically. "I wanted to make the most organic sounding album I could while using electronic production," he explains. “I’m always trying to figure out how to immerse the listener even more–whether that’s sonically or lyrically, and for these songs that meant reining things in and grounding them. I didn’t want to keep getting bigger and bigger, I wanted something looser and more lo-fi.”
Today, Great Grandpa present a new single, “Doom”, and announce their first tour in 5 years. Great Grandpa recently made their highly-anticipated and “epic return” (Brooklyn Vegan) with the gorgeous track “Kid,” and Doom” is another cathartic entry in the band’s beloved catalog. Penned by Pat Goodwin soon after the release of 2019’s acclaimed Four of Arrows, the song swirled in the band’s consciousness, taking on many iterations before being officially recorded in 2024. “Doom,” produced by guitarist/engineer Dylan Hanwright and Goodwin, is the bands’ first self-produced track since 2017’s Plastic Cough. It sees the band at the furthest end of their prog/math-rock spectrum — at times embracing the odd time signatures and heavy electric guitar of their early years while expanding on the dark, knotty chamber-folk of Four of Arrows.
In the fall of 2020, Great Grandpa - the close-knit group of Al Menne, Dylan Hanwright, Cam LaFlam, and Pat and Carrie Goodwin - didn’t know if they would go on. After starting on the follow-up to Four of Arrows, each member was called in different directions, some to new countries, new jobs, new life stages. But as Menne puts it simply, “Time passed and I missed my friends.” As any good relationship built on mutual love, trust, and a mountain of shared history, the quintet—who grew up in Seattle and have been making music together for a decade—were drawn back into one another’s orbits in 2023. And now, with two new tracks and a run of tour dates on their belt, Great Grandpa continues. These upcoming live shows will be fans’ first opportunity to hear new music live. A full list of dates can be found below.
Great Grandpa Tour Dates Sat. Nov. 2 - Seattle, WA @ Tractor Tavern ^ Wed. Jan. 29 - Washington, DC @ Songbyrd Thu. Jan. 30 - Philadelphia, PA @ Johnny Brenda Fri. Jan. 31 - Brooklyn, NY @ Baby’s All Right Sat. Feb. 1 - Boston, MA @ Something in the Way Fest

Tickets are moving fast as the event gets closer, don't miss out on the extremely rare opportunity to see Citizen play their now classic debut album front to back!
Anxious have returned! The Connecticut-based punk favorites have announced their sophomore album, Bambi, due out February 21st.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.
To mark the announcement, the group have shared Bambi's gigantic lead single "Counting Sheep." From the song's very first seconds it's clear that this is Anxious on another level. Lush harmonies ring out over shimmering guitars before the song explodes into walls of distorted guitars and powerhouse drumming, wrapped up with one of the biggest choruses the group ever penned. It's a track that manages to nod to Bambi's maximalist direction and influences—everything from Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, to The Smashing Pumpkins and even The Beach Boys—while sounding definitively like Anxious.
Bambi is out February 21st. The band has a string of upcoming East Coast shows, with more to be announced soon.
Upcoming Shows: 10/26 Queens, NY @ Transpecos 11/02 Richmond, VA @ LTC Fest 12/13 Amherst, MA @ The Drake 12/14 Buffalo, NY @ Blissmas 2024 02/01 Boston, MA @ Something in the Way Fest
