Cannons has announced their fifth studio album, Everything Glows, out March 27 on Columbia Records. Everything Glows is a powerful and entrancing fifth album from the beloved band. Written and recorded as lead singer and songwriter, Michelle Joy rebuilt her health, showcasing less the sound of a band returning from a rest, and more a trio of friends reinventing the way they create, collaborate, and sound. The 11 songs of Everything Glows navigate heartbreak and codependence, brokenness and, ultimately, liberation, spotlighting a group that found new ways to move forward and absolute excitement in both the process and its results.

Will Toledo always knew he would return to Twin Fantasy. He never did complete the work. Not really. Never could square his grand ambitions against his mechanical limitations. Listen to his first attempt, recorded at nineteen on a cheap laptop, and you’ll hear what Brian Eno fondly calls “the sound of failure” - thrilling, extraordinary, and singularly compelling failure. Will’s first love, rendered in the vivid teenage viscera of stolen gin, bruised shins, and weird sex, was an event too momentous for the medium assigned to record it.Early next year, on the heels of the smashing success of Teens of Denial, Car Seat Headrest will release a new version of Twin Fantasy. “It was never a finished work,” Will says, “and it wasn’t until last year that I figured out how to finish it.” He has, now, the benefit of a bigger budget, a full band in fine form, and endless time to tinker. According to him, it took eight months of mixing just to get the drums right. But this is no shallow second take, sanitized in studio and scrubbed of feeling. This is the album he always wanted to make. It sounds the way he always wanted it to sound.It’s been hard, stepping into the shoes of his teenage self, walking back to painful places. There are lyrics he wouldn’t write again, an especially sad song he regards as an albatross. But even as he carries the weight of that younger, wounded Will, he moves forward. He grows. He revises, gently, the songs we love so much. In the album’s final moments, in those apologies to future me’s and you’s, there is more forgiveness than fury.This, Will says, is the most vital difference between the old and the new: he no longer sees his own story as a tragedy.

Today Cork's acclaimed Cardinals announce their much-anticipated debut album 'Masquerade'. Set to land February 13th on tastemaker label So Young Records, the ten song album was recorded with producer Shrink at RAK Studios, London across the summer. It's a record that is at once grand and intimate, awash with romance and flickers of holy imagery, and most of all, it's an undeniable fulfilment of the innate promise the band have shown since their earliest beginnings.These are emotionally expansive songs, some simmering with an undercurrent of violence, cynicism or fervent discontent (Anhedonia, The Burning of Cork, Barbed Wire) and others gleaming with a bright-eyed vulnerability. A vivid first half contrasts a darker second and crafts a record with a clear A-side and B-side. A nod to the band’s collective love of vinyl, that tonal shift takes its cue from a variety of expected and unexpected influences - from the brittle honesty of folk to the theatrical melodrama of goth-rock.

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. No one in the New York crossover metal scene could make a guy laugh like Carnivore front man Pete Steele. Whether it was the vomit-in-the-toilet track "Jack Daniels and Pizza," which opened the band's second album Retaliation or the crudely drawn obscene Sharpie renderings Steele would scribble on passed out musicians and crew members. Steele was a one of a kind and his perverse, oddball sense of humor infiltrated and enhanced his viciously aggressive blend of hardcore and metal. Just take two of Retaliation's many standouts, "Angry Neurotic Catholics" and "S.M.D. (Suck My Dick)." "For Retaliation, I really wanted to make an album that was half Black Sabbath-type metal and half ripping hardcore," he said before the album's original release in 1987. "I just loved that vibe, so I incorporated the slowness and heavy dirge sound with the incredible energy of bands like Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, Murphy's Law and Sheer Terror." More than 30 years after it's release, Retaliation still stands as a landmark achievement in crossover music and another indication of Pete Steele's immense gift for songwriting, a talent he would demonstrate time and again between 1991 and 2007 with Type O Negative. Here comes the 2018 reissue with the original cover, bonus tracks and new liner notes by Jon Wiederhorn.

In the current wave of rock bands, Cashier stand out for the deep emotional weight they carry, and the clarity with which they wield it. Since their inception, the Lafayette, Louisiana, four-piece has built a buzz around their underlying heaviness that drives both their ambition and impact, quickly embedding themselves in the national DIY circuit, while remaining true to their Cajun roots.Sharing stages with genre titans like Dinosaur Jr., Whirr, Nothing, and Narrow Head, Cashier are building a reputation for a massive sound that resonates far beyond their bayou home. Early singles established the band's ability to unite grunge, shoegaze, post-hardcore, and indie rock heads alike, lacing dissonance with undeniable melodic hooks. Bandleader Kylie Gaspard's deeply direct vocal delivery cuts through dense riffs, grounding their songs with her gritty, emotional lyrics.That sound reaches full definition on The Weight, Cashier's debut EP, which captures the band's most precise songs yet. Peeling back some layers of dissonance to reveal more vibrant and clear tones, the four-piece adopted a laser-focused approach to songwriting and arrangement that made every chord count. Recorded entirely in their hometown at producer Chad Viator's home studio, the songs distill themes of desire, insecurity, and disconnection into five tightly wound, melody-driven songs.In energy-filled songs like "Part Of Me" and "Like I Do", riffs charge forward with meticulous urgency, carried by driving rhythms that echo the matter-of-factness of '90s emo. The noise interlude "For I Never Knew You" briefly cuts through the EP's harmonic momentum, setting the stage for the realizations that bubble to the surface in closers "Same Mistakes" and "The Weight." Across the EP, Cashier balance force and restraint, allowing Gaspard's blunt, fiercely heartfelt words to remain the emotional anchor.Ultimately, Cashier's search for serenity arrives at a sobering awareness: The Weight is something we all carry, and there's no turning back once you've made your choices in this life. Everyone bears their own baggage, but Cashier give meaning to the shared impulse to set it down, even when you know relief is out of reach.

Politics. Hatred. Endless war. We doomscroll as our rights are stripped away. Bombings. Kidnappings. Mass shootings. The nightly news is a litany of brutality. Assassination. Subjugation. Deportation. We argue with each other while the rich get richer and cruelty is normalized. These are just a few of the reasons why the title of The Casualties’ new album is Detonate.
Detonate is the second chapter in a new epoch for The Casualties. As their second album with David Rodriguez at the mic, it solidifies the vocalist’s partnership with drummer Marc “Meggers” Eggers and guitarist Jake Kolatis. “It’s like a new era for the band,” Meggers says. “It solidifies that Dave is here to stay.”
As the follow-up to 2018’s Written in Blood and their first record for Hellcat Records—the Epitaph subsidiary curated by Tim Armstrong of Rancid—Detonate sees this new version of The Casualties locking into place. “We were in the studio for Written in Blood about eight months after I joined,” Rodriguez says. “With this new record, we really grew together. For me, it’s the proud moment where we clicked the three Legos together.”

Los Angeles musician Cate Kennan's self produced second full length unfolds with the poetry and immateriality of it's title: Shadows. Ten vignettes of keys, strings, reverb, and voice, the songs sway and lope between dream and lullaby, rose-colored but remote. The album was inspired by the dislocation Kennan felt upon returning, after several years away, to the rustic neighborhood northwest of L.A. where she'd grown up: "Wandering through a place where my life once existed but where everything had quietly shifted with time."The music conjures a mood of distance, dust, and dazed emotion, alternately lulling and unraveling. From shuffling tumbleweed vignettes ("The Lone West," "Romantic Strings") to sepia-tone torch songs ("Shadows," "Reverie") to oblique keyboard meditations ("Moonlight," "Rain"), Kennan's soundworld moves with a muted, murky beauty, like alluring shapes seen through smudged glass. In her hands, haze is a transformative property, liberating melody and memory into landscapes still untraveled: "What began as a period of nostalgia for me turned into a longing, not for the past, for a place that might exist somewhere beyond the horizon."

Rocshire Records: sounds of the early-80s underground and indie cult classics for fans of West Coast punk, power pop, new wave and synth music presents a hard rock gem steeped in 1980s sheen presents a polished slice of early-'80s synth-pop that sits comfortably between European new wave cool and American radio charm. Built on programmed rhythms, sleek keyboards, and controlled melodic hooks, it reflects a period of growing fascination with technology, image, and emotional restraint. Andy Lunn's production is clean and uncluttered, favoring atmosphere and groove over excess. The vocals, recorded at Hotline Studios, are understated and detached, giving the songs a careful balance of pop accessibility and a lingering sense of distance. More style than spectacle, and more late-night drive than big-chorus anthems, this album arrived at a crowded moment and quickly slipped from view. In hindsight, it stands as a record deserving of a second look - a concise and coherent statement from the new wave era, stylish, restrained, and firmly rooted in it's time.

With Cemetery Skyline, we're stepping into previously untrodden musical directions - those darker alleys that we hold dear in our hearts but haven't really wandered before. And we're collectively very excited!" For Cemetery Skyline Markus Vanhala (Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum) is joined by keyboardist Santeri Kallio (Amorphis), drummer Vesa Ranta (Sentenced, The Abbey), bassist Victor Brandt (Dimmu Borgir and many more) and singer Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect). "We all share a deep love for goth rock from the 80s and 90s - whether it's more synth-driven or heavier guitar-dominated stuff. You know the deal with the best bands from The Sisters of Mercy to Type O Negative", says Santeri Kallio, who shares songwriting duties with Vanhala. "But is Cemetery Skyline a goth band? Maybe to an extent, but that's certainly not the whole story. If you have to describe Cemetery Skyline's diverse music somehow, do us a favor and call us ambassadors of melodic, melancholic and dark rock. Thank you.

Across two decades, the California-born hardcore outfit CEREMONY has earned its standing as one of punk’s most adaptable and unflinching bands, always ready to meet the moment without surrendering its principles. True to form, CEREMONY's seventh album, Tell Me Your Dream pushes the group’s punk-forged intensity all the way to the fore, capturing the quintet at its most expressive, expansive, and timely.
“We’re living in an era of mass uncertainty,” says CEREMONY vocalist Ross Farrar. “In punk, I don’t see how you can’t respond. It’s taken over our lives in so many different ways — economically, politically, spiritually. We want people to wake up and get into what’s happening.”
Ferociously alert, Tell Me Your Dream reunites CEREMONY — Farrar, guitarist-keyboardist Anthony Anzaldo, guitarist Andy Nelson, bassist Justin Davis and drummer Jake Casarotti — with producer John Reis for ten songs of searing breadth. That means everything from bristling hardcore to moody post-punk — all while taking fundamental inspiration from Discharge, Crass, and other anarcho-punk troupes that first helped certain members of CEREMONY find their own political voices back when they were teenagers. The result is a culmination of the band’s 21 years together, if not some kind of riddle: CEREMONY knows how to make a return-to-form sound like evolution — and vice versa.
Equally loud and clear is the fact that CEREMONY isn’t hesitating to raise its voice at a moment when the underground has grown strangely quiet. “Why aren’t punk bands actually saying the word ‘Palestine’ on their records?” asks CEREMONY guitarist Andy Nelson. “We didn’t want to make anything that felt light, or empty, or apolitical. Our intent is to not waste anyone’s time, and to encourage people to think about what they settle for.” On Tell Me Your Dream, you’ll hear Palestine cited over the ferocious bounce of “Madness,” a post-punky indictment of war’s obscenity — and the obscene amounts of cash required to wage it. But if you listen closely, you may also hear Farrar working to reconcile issues of broadscale sociopolitical violence with his most intimate personal struggles.
Within 30 minutes, Tell Me Your Dream revisits all previous eras of the greater CEREMONY arc, with each track gaining intensity as it plays off the prior. The anarcho scorch marks of “Other Hells” give way to the deep-pocketed groove of the aforementioned “Madness,” followed by the jet-black jangle of “Dark Summer,” a post-punk rumination during which Farrar reminds us, “You only hit bottom when you stop digging.”
Deep connections in a shallow world. A clear sense of purpose in uncertain times. These are the reasons CEREMONY continues to grow, to expand, to adapt, to endure. This band can’t stop. And it won’t. To meet the moment, you have to be there for it.

Released in 1983, this album marked a late-career reunion for Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde, bringing the British duo back into the studio after more than a decade apart. Best known for their melodic folk-pop work of the 1960s, they return here with a contemporary pop-rock sound that updates their harmony-driven approach without abandoning it, blending acoustic and electric guitars with early-'80s production touches, and framing familiar songwriting instincts in a modern context. Chad Stuart's production is clear and unfussy, designed to foreground melody and vocal interplay rather than studio flash. Stuart and Clyde's voices remain central, trading lines and harmonies with an ease that reflects their long partnership, allowing the songs to relay a distinctly reflective tone shaped by the time and distance of their earlier success. Arriving quietly and without significant commercial impact, this album passed largely unnoticed on release. In hindsight, it stands as a measured and coherent late-period statement - rooted in craft, focused on song, and firmly situated between the duo's past identity and the musical climate of the early 1980s.

Irish duo Chalk's full-length debut LP, Crystalpunk [ALTER Music], speaks directly to the upbringing and roots of the band members-award-winning musicians and filmmakers Ross Cullen [vocalist + producer] and Benedict Goddard [multi-instrumentalist + director]. The beauty, confusion, complexity, and intensity of their youth - lived under the shadow and around the scars of conflict - are entangled in the industrial dance-punk hybrid encoded in the record's DNA, aptly entitled Crystalpunk. "This record is us waving a flag for that generation - the ones who inherited confusion, resilience, and a fractured sense of self." They're waving that flag as intensely as possible too. For the uninitiated, Chalk mainlines the reaction between genres, eras, and cultures, commuting this collision into their sound. The Belfast group could comfortably power an underground warehouse party after-dark, incite a mid-day festival mosh-pit, or shake an arena on any given evening. Their power has seamlessly translated to the stage with the group packing venues and delivering alternately sweaty and electrifying performances to a growing rabid fan base. As a group, they've sold out shows across the UK, EU and USA, notched festival performances such as Glastonbury, SXSW, BBK, Trans Musicals and more across 11 countries and were handpicked to tour alongside IDLES and Fontaines D.C..Coming from dissimilar backgrounds and rallying together naturally, Ben and Ross first crossed paths in film school. As the story goes, Ben had noticed a framed poster of Dublin disruptors Gilla Band in one of Ross's Instagram photos and felt a kinship before ever actually speaking to him. "Nobody else at our school was into experimental noise guitar bands, so that was all I needed to see," laughs Ben. Emerging in 2022, Chalk initially made waves with songs like "Them," "Velodrome," and "Static." Ultimately, they come-of-age and tell a story that resonates beyond borders. Not just a portrait of the band, but one of their home, a complicated place where the sacrifices made and risks taken by activists, artists, ravers and punks created the only environment that a band like Chalk could emerge from. Crystalpunk is not about choosing a side, it's about choosing the future.

First things first: yes, Chanel Beads’ second album, Your Day Will Come, has the same title as the experimental project’s 2024 breakthrough debut. But this is a completely new body of work, not a “part two,” a rehash or a re-do. If his initial impulse was to poke fun at the apparatus that divides music into chapters, as the songs developed, Shane Lavers found the phrase carried deeper nuance, evoking the duel between certainty and doubt that preoccupied his psyche. Though the phrase unfurls with conviction, a slight shift in emphasis can inspire unsettling ambiguities: Will your day come? What will it be like? How can you be sure? These dualities were top of mind when Lavers wrote “Song for the Messenger,” the track that properly introduces Your Day Will Come’s expanded vision. Like the majority of the album, it was made as Lavers adjusted to life as a full-time musician. Thoughts had more room to bounce around and curdle inside his head, and he often felt dulled down by a world that can feel absurdly cruel. On “Song for the Messenger,” the future collapses into itself as “the days still move and the window closes slowly.” “While writing the songs I kept asking myself, ‘If you are really so hopeless, what does your life look like with that clarity,’” Lavers says. Raised in the suburbs of Minnesota, Lavers began making music under the name Chanel Beads while living in Seattle back in 2016. When he wasn’t working at a library for the blind, he was collaging synthetic sounds and real instruments into beguiling songs fundamentally averse to genre. He was living in New York by 2022, as tracks like “Ef” and “True Altruism” captivated certain online circles with their androgynous vocals, uncanny artifice, and stirring intimacy. In the years since Chanel Beads’ entrancing introduction, the project has gone from playing house shows and illegal abandoned train tunnel shows, all the way up to supporting Lorde on her recent North American arena tour. The second iteration of Your Day Will Come catalogues a sonic shift and evolution in Chanel Beads’ sound. This time around, it’s layered with more original parts and players. Violinist Zachary Paul has a greater presence, though Lavers continues to toy with the semiotic baggage of plug-ins. The gossamer voice of Maya McGrory can once again be heard across the album, and she co-wrote the majestic “Silver Cup.” These 14 songs are increasingly fleshed out and structured, a result of a more collaborative approach that embraced spontaneity and imperfections. Casual hangs led to contributions from friends like Tchad Cousins (Urika’s Bedroom), Mari Maurice (More Eaze), Anastasia Coope, and Bella Litsa. “Dust in the Wind” is a joint effort with Isaac Eiger of Strange Ranger and Threshold, marking the first co-write from someone outside the core trio of Lavers, McGory, and Paul. Neither a solo project nor a band, Chanel Beads is “defined by the negatives,” says Lavers. Though the stages have grown larger, the spirit of Chanel Beads remains steadfastly underground. Lavers made Your Day Will Come at his small and sparsely furnished Brooklyn studio, with the speakers positioned so close to his face that he could feel air emit from every thump of the kick drum. He embraces the attitude of “if it works, leave it be,” recording into whatever microphone is around and going off that version. “We start the recording before the song is written, and then you work the song into the recording,” Lavers says. “We don’t make demos, that's a hard and fast rule. Which we’ll break eventually.” Lavers’ fragmented lyrics are full of open-ended questions, exploring the dichotomies that inform our reality. He was particularly consumed by the coexistence of nihilism and love, saying, “It feels as if one should obliterate the other, but they don't.” Emotional sublimation is central to Chanel Beads, as if you can white-knuckle something so hard that it becomes transcendent. Snarling beasts and shame accompany proclamations of devotion on “JBL in the Fireplace”: “That’s when they set the dogs on you/Fuck this world I still have love for you.” Drawing from Lavers’ own experiences, Your Day Will Come uses dream logic to delve into liminality and precarious remembrance. It’s colored by the spectres of specific losses, but also how you can haunt yourself by falling back into old habits. The elegiac centerpiece, “Tyler Richard,” is haunted by the ‘have we met before?’ sensation. Initially gentle and twinkling, each verse draws into a tighter fist until it bursts open in ecstatic despair. “It’s about the feeling when someone who has passed appears in a dream, and you wake up and have to remember that they are gone,” Lavers says. “As your life moves forward, grief can recur in these ways that feel like time flattens and circles back in on itself.” “I thought I saw you smiling in all my memories,” Lavers spits on the gleefully caustic “The Coward Forgets His Nightmare.” “It’s hard to dedicate yourself to art and not also indulgently dedicate yourself to yourself,” he says. “To me, that one is explicitly about reaching the end of your life, having lived in music, and wondering if you did the wrong thing.” As the veil falls on the present, you look back on a past littered with lost futures.

Charge was a British heavy progressive rock trio formed in the early 1970s on the South Coast, emerging from the ashes of local bands Baby Bertha and Sweet Poison, blending Hendrix-inspired guitar, powerful bass and drums, and psychedelic/heavy progressive elements. The band's first sessions were born from an intense, 35-minute jam at the Dolphin in Botley, where the members instantly connected and developed the raw energy that would define their sound. In January of 1973, Charge recorded this extremely rare & classic Heavy Progressive Rock LP at SRT Studios, privately issuing 99 copies in a plain white cover of which only a few still exist. Part of the pressing was likely lost or destroyed. The lp has been illegally issued several times since, and every edition, including the Spanish legal pressing, inexplicably mistitled Side Two as a "Suite" in 3 parts. This was not the case, as evidenced by the original SRT labels. Only one item of graphics relating to Charge has survived, a yellow poster (recoloured orange on previous reissues). We have reproduced the poster as the album's cover in it's original colour. Recorded in January 1973 at SRT Studios, Luton, Bedfordshire, UK.

* "Cheer-Accident are the quintessential Chicago post-rock band... a pronounced influence on the Windy City's art-rock scene." - Pitchfork * "Tons of weird rock records have streamed out of Chicago over the past two decades, but none have blended pop smarts and avant-garde impulses as skillfully as this marvelous brainteaser of an album... " - Time Out New York * Over the past four decades as staples of Chicago's indie scene, CHEER-ACCIDENT [always capitalized and always with a hyphen] have performed hundreds of shows all over the USA and Europe and have released dozens of albums. * They have gained a reputation as a band known for it's capacity for the unexpected. They are remembered for appearing on television and playing one note for an hour. Or playing their piece 'Filet of Nod' in a park in Chicago for over 8 hours (highlights are on YouTube) * While they have always been a band with a 'floating membership', the last few years have seen the band very impressively touring with a expanded line-up of between 7-10 members. * This set includes their new studio album [their 27th] and two live concerts from 2022 and 2023 [with that expanded personnel] on the group's first-ever DVD [also their first-ever live release]. namored with the way albums from the late '60s-early '70s were written and recorded, where the band would hole up in some remote farmhouse in the country and crank out a masterpiece. We finally took the plunge and ensconced ourselves in beautiful Northern Spain for two weeks in July 2024. * Disc Two: Yet more nostalgia... also been wanting to record a covers record for some time and worked out the following criteria: (1) deep-cut rock music from my sweet spot, the aforementioned '60s-early '70s and (2) tunes with instrumental sections that could be argued as to be "progressive" in nature, in most cases songs that were a little outside the more well-known pop tunes those artists were known for. Songs featured include deep tracks from Iron Butterfly, Kinks, Mountain, Spirit, Procolo Harum, Traffic, Steppenwolf, The Guess Who, James Gang and more.
