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.

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.

Pre-order music and apparel

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

Last year Sun June released their latest album, Bad Dream Jaguar, drawing acclaim from the likes of Stereogum, Paste Magazine, The FADER, Line of Best Fit, and more. Today they've returned with a surprising new take on one of that album's standout tracks. Indie superstar Porches has remixed Sun June's "Easy Violence," turning the Bad Dream Jaguar slow-burn into a cut of breakbeat-driven pop. 

Sun June have also announced a run of U.S. East Coast shows scheduled for the Fall. The tour dates start next month and include support from Dan Wriggins, as well as a performance at Briston Maroney's Paradise Festival in Nashville. See full itinerary below.

Advance Base is back! Owen Ashworth's beloved and long-running project has returned with the announcement of his new album, Horrible Occurrences, due out December 6th.

Ashworth has been staying busy—touring, running Orindal Records, releasing a 2021 covers album Wall of Tears & Other Songs I Didn't Write, and a handful of singles—but Horrible Occurrences marks the first full album of Advance Base originals since 2018's Animal Companionship. The album is 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.

Advance Base has also shared the album's first single, "The Year I Lived In Richmond." 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." The themes might be dark but "The Year I Lived In Richmond" is a gorgeous cut of warbling keyboards and warm vocals that introduces listeners to the imaginary town as well as a new chapter for Advance Base.

Today, Omaha's formidable emo rock forefather's, Cursive, have released their tenth album Devourer. It triumphantly stands as some of the band's most compelling work, immediately bringing long time listeners back to what made seminal classics like "Domestica" and "The Ugly Organ" so unforgettable.

Leading up to the album, the band released 5 uniquely unsettling music videos from different directors, with the latest being the Chelsea Stardust directed "Bloodbather", featuring actors Shannon Purser (Stranger Things, Riverdale) and Aurora Perrineau (Westworld) taking part in a blood spattered underground fight club. 

Earlier this week, frontman Tim Kasher hosted an event at Braindead Studios in LA where the five music videos, and the album in whole were premiered in 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound. The audio/visual experience is now streaming in full on Youtube, and we still have some copies of the VHS from the event featuring all the music videos available here.

Home In Another Life, the latest album from Tacoma's own Enumclaw. Across these eleven songs, vocalist and principle songwriter Aramis Johnson cracks open his chest cavity for quakingly tender songs. Aramis and Enumclaw write and perform like a band wrestling with the weight of growing up without looking for pity or to wallow in that baggage, while harnessing the power of reckoning with those changes head-on and kicking the door down for bands just like them in a predominately white indie-rock space. Home In Another Life is louder, faster, poignant and achingly resonant, but doesn’t forget how to have fun and enjoy the moment too.
