British rock singer Chez Kane is back with her third studio album, “Reckless” — an explosive blend of arena-ready hooks, slick guitar work, and unapologetic 80s-style swagger. Following the success of her first two records, Chez levels up with a collection that’s bigger in sound, richer in emotion, and packed with pure melodic firepower.Once again written and produced by Danny Rexon, frontman of Swedish hard rockers Crazy Lixx, “Reckless” channels the golden age of melodic rock while injecting it with fresh energy and modern production. The chemistry between Chez and Danny continues to shine, resulting in a record that blends 80s-inspired anthems, infectious hooks, and soaring vocals into a modern rock statement with attitude.From glam-infused bangers to emotional slow-burners, “Reckless” showcases Chez’s growing confidence and undeniable charisma, proving she’s not just riding the revival wave — she’s leading it.If you’re craving fist-pumping choruses, soaring vocals, and a no-holds-barred throwback to the glory days of rock, look no further. Chez Kane’s “Reckless” is melodic rock done right — bold, catchy, and undeniably alive.Turn it up loud. This one’s recklessly unforgettable.

Chinese American Bear return in 2026 with their third album 'Dim Sum & Then Some', released in May 2026 on cult UK label Moshi Moshi. "Dim Sum & Then Some was started the day after we finished our 2024 album Wah!!! We were having a lot of fun, inspiration was still high. The album explores themes around what we love - food, little joys, fun simple nonsense, China, love, anthems and fairy tales. It's a collage of our life, distilled into positivity and lightheartedness. " They've been described as if The Flaming Lips, Dusty Springfield, and The Beach Boys had a baby with Care Bear. The album is full of comedy, groove, quirk, and cuteness with melodically rich instrumentation, bits of psychedelia, doses of funk, and a lot of lyrics about filling up your belly with food.

Courtroom Wedding, the feral new album by singer-songwriter-punk rock legend Chris D.'s new unit Poison Fang Society, succeeds In the Red Records' release of two expansive albums by the bandleader's Divine Horsemen, Hot Rise of an Ice Cream Phoenix (2021) and Bitter End to a Sweet Night (2022).The taut, economical eight-song set grew out of several songs penned in the immediate wake of the COVID pandemic lockdown and originally envisioned as material for a third Divine Horsemen record. But logistical problems involving the band's co-lead singer Julie Christensen's ability to record in Los Angeles led to the formulation of a new solo configuration rooted in the past.Poison Fang Society guitarist Larry Schemel, most recently of Death Valley Girls, and Tucson-bred drummer Johnny Ray are both veterans of the eight-piece lineup heard on the Flesh Eaters' 1999 album Ashes of Time. They are joined by bassist-keyboardist-guitarist Sharif Dumani, who also engineered the collection and co-produced with Chris D.The songs Chris brought to the studio reflect a shift in style: "I was really trying to write some more traditional kinds of songs, but not make them sound really anonymous. On the last couple of albums, the Divine Horsemen albums, there was a lot more cut-up stuff. I still did some cut-up in the lyrics with this record, but not as much. The lyrics to 'Cellars to Weep' were very influenced by songs like Bob Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' or 'Highway 61 Revisited,' even though song doesn't sound like that. I wanted to keep that kind of surrealist humor that Bob Dylan has - those nonsense phrases that add meaning when they're all put together."With tracks inspired by subjects as diverse at the gun-toting MAGA couple who pointed their weapons at Black Lives Matter protesters ("Goddamn Thieving Shame") to the sleazy come-on cover lines of '50s pulp paperbacks ("Sex Kitten"), Courtroom Wedding flexes a lean, potent sound that recalls the knife-edge attack of the Don Kirk-era Flesh Eaters and the heavyweight vibe of Chris' second solo album (as Stone by Stone), 1989's I Pass for Human. Like this punk grand master's finest work, it displays an electric, tormented immediacy."Courtroom Wedding sounds more live than the Divine Horsemen records," Chris says, "and I think that's a good thing."

Chris Stamey began writing and playing music in Winston-Salem, NC, in the mid 1960s, in the so-called Combo Corner scene, alongside Mitch Easter and Peter Holsapple. In 1976, he self-released Sneakers, one of the very first American "indie" records, then relocated to Manhattan in 1977 to play and record with Alex Chilton. He formed The dB's in 1978, with Holsapple, then recorded well-received solo records for A&M and Warners, and toured with Anton Fier's Golden Palominos (with Michael Stipe [R.E.M.], Jack Bruce [Cream], and Bernie Worrell). As a producer, arranger, and mixer, he has worked with over a hundred artists, including Alejandro Escovedo, Kronos Quartet, Flat Duo Jets, Skylar Gudasz, Branford Marsalis, Ryan Adams, Tift Merritt, Le Tigre, Those Pretty Wrongs, The Salt Collective, and Yo La Tengo. From 2010-2018, Stamey was orchestrator and musical director for an international series of concert performances of Big Star's classic album Third, and continues to tour as part of the Big Star Quintet. A "songwriting memoir," A Spy in the House of Loud (Univ. Of Texas Press), was published in 2018. His recent releases include Anything Is Possible (Label 51), with contributions from the Lemon Twigs and members of Brian Wilson's band, as well as The Great Escape, Lovesick Blues, Euphoria, and New Songs for the 20th Century. His newest release, Modernism is out May 2026, on Flatiron Recordings.

Futurismo are proud to present the iconic 1982 debut album, Only Theatre of Pain, by gothic legends CHRISTIAN DEATH. Available on deluxe 2xLP, CD digipak and limited Cassette. Hailed as a masterpiece of it's genre, and considered by many as ground zero for Deathrock, Only Theatre of Pain is a seminal work of unholy power and pitch-black emotion. Whilst this record may have it's roots in punk - the origins of this true original version of Christian Death took place in Southern California during the early 80's hardcore explosion - it cannot be overstated how important this record was in shaping the subsequent landscape. Emerging like an adrenaline shot into the heart of darkness, this unrestrained and mysterious recording still remains unclassifiable.Featuring the late visionary Rozz Williams (then only in his teens) alongside punk luminary Rikk Agnew (guiding light in the Adolescents), James McGearty and George Belanger, Only Theatre of Pain's musical exploration is adorned with psychosexual lyricism and an innate struggle with faith. Rozz's vocals creep and possess, demonic and haunting, against the captivating, unmistakable guitar work of trailblazer Agnew. It's a performance, but also a truth, perhaps Only Theatre of Pain is an art show, as much as it is an era defining record.Aside from their spellbinding sound, it may have also been the lore of Christian Death that set them apart from other LA goth bands of the time. A near-nude Rozz Williams nailed to a cross at the Whiskey a Go Go may have played a part, but what it is apparent when you listen to the unhallowed musical stages on Only Theatre Of Pain is a depth of vision and orchestration that goes beyond the simple stance of brooding many of their contemporaries emulated, delving into the realms of pure unadulterated catharsis. The result is an era defining statement that remains as unsettling, innovative, and resonant today as it was over four decades ago.Only Theatre Of Pain is presented here in a new remastered deluxe pressing with a second disk containing early demos and rare material, further demonstrating why Christian Death stood alone in their sound and approach. This journey of religious depravity, recorded by the legendary producer Thom Wilson in a matter of days, harnesses the huge concepts of band projecting older than their years. Ahead of the curve in sonic artistry and visual aesthetics, this slab of sacrilegious American punk is nothing short of essential listening for the gothic inclined. A must for fans of The Misfits, Bauhaus and The Cramps.This classic LP comes in limited edition 'Blood Sanctum' colored vinyl and contains a second disk of bonus material. It is packaged in a gloss laminated sleeve with metallic ink, containing printed inner sleeves, a large fold out poster, redux artwork featuring the photography of Edward Colver, and liner notes by Lisa Fancher of Frontier. Also available as CD digipak.

Cigarettes After Sex is an ambient pop group based out of Brooklyn, NY led by songwriter Greg Gonzalez. Formed in 2008, the group consists of keyboardist Phillip Tubbs, bassist Randy Miller and drummer Jacob Tomsky. In the spring of 2012 Cigarettes After Sex recorded their first EP over the course of a single night in the stairway of a four story building. Since then they have become a viral phenomenon, generating over a hundred million views on YouTube for their exquisitely yearning, graceful pop noir. Their self-titled debut album arrives on June 9, 2017 on Partisan Records. "Melancholic, androgynous pop noir set in smoke-filled darkness." - Rolling Stone "Cigarettes After Sex’s sound is elemental, hazy, and romantic, but with a noir edge underneath Gonzalez’s androgynous voice. As the band’s name suggests, it’s reminiscent of lying in bed, but its ambient qualities don’t prevent it from being music you can dance to." - Noisey

Another Country is the fifth full-length album by Cindy, the San Francisco-based group built around the songwriting of Karina Gill. Recorded, like all of it's predecessors, in their hometown and with a consistent line-up held over from their previous record (the Swan Lake EP from 2024), it is replete with the poetry of private vistas, eavesdropped dramas and confusing winds. These are classic Cindy concerns, and yet, as always, contain new mystery and charm to somehow feel like quiet revelations each time. Another Country is both opaque in it's intentions and specific in it's presentation, and as such presents the kind of truth that keeps the listener on the search for answers just out of reach."The title of this record, Another Country, refers to the James Baldwin novel of that name. The book has a kind of drama that makes sense to me. When I look around, the obvious explanations are not enough. The miasma of feelings and ideas that is supposed to account for it all, doesn't. Baldwin washes past that to longings that begin to explain. Cindy songs come out of the x-rays my particular brain makes out of what I see and experience. What you hear on this record is the result of collaboration with the members of Cindy that transforms that shadowy thing into full color, fully fleshed. Each of them, in music, is sure-footed and unblinking, and making this record together felt like, yes, yes, you see what I mean." Cindy is Karina, Staizsh, Will & Oli.

Citizen's persistent sonic evolution and refusal to make the same record twice has earned them a reputation as one of the most consistently captivating bands in modern rock music. It's precisely this commitment to their craft that has led to their new album, Halcyon Blues. It's a dynamic and confident culmination of all that's come before, making it crystal clear that for all their sonic restlessness, Citizen have always known exactly who they are. From the start, the band-vocalist Mat Kerekes, guitarist Nick Hamm, bassist Eric Hamm, along with newer members guitarist Mason Mercer and drummer Ben Russin-were steadfastly determined to follow their creativity wherever it led. Over the years they deftly moved through raw emo, menacing post-hardcore, anthemic alternative, garage-y indie pop, and so much more. Now Halcyon Blues brings elements from throughout their entire catalog together into a singular and instantly satisfying record that just sounds like Citizen. Where past Citizen albums have felt like direct responses to the preceding release, Halcyon Blues sounds like the group wrapping their arms around their entire catalog and carrying it forward. Recorded by Kerekes in his home studio in Tole- do, then mixed by Tom Lorde-Alge (U2, Weezer, Blink182), the record taps into the urgency and ferocity of Citizen's early albums while embracing the epic scope and undeniable hooks of their more recent work. These are huge rock songs with fittingly huge emotions, but the youthful frustration of Citizen's early work has grown up too, replaced by a more nuanced, though no less cutting, adult perspective.

The 3rd collaborative album between Les Claypool & Sean Ono Lennon (the previous sold over 150,000 combined) is an elaborate concept record reflecting on morality, the warnings of A.I., and the slippery slope of optimization without empathy. Told across 14 songs - which ooze with classic psychedelic / progressive rock stylings - and the accompanying comic book by Rich Ragsdale, The Great Parrot-Ox and The Golden Egg of Empathy is a peak for both The Claypool-Lennon Delirium and rock music at large.
