For The Bites, the past few years have seemed like a lifetime. After their debut album cracked the Top 40 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, paving the way for multiple world tours and introducing them to legions of music fans longing to celebrate the rich and colorful tapestry that is rock and roll, the results have been, quite literally, life changing.
“When we were only playing shows on the Sunset Strip, it was like we were looking at the world through a paper towel roll,” says drummer Mark Hylander, referencing the band’s Los Angeles origin story. “It seems like we’ve lived about a hundred different lifetimes since we wrote and recorded that first album. It’s like we are looking at the world with both eyes now, not just one. The blinders are off and we can see all around us.”
Their forthcoming sophomore release – aptly-titled The Bites – demonstrates their evolution. It is a bold step into the beyond, and is self-titled because it is exactly how the band want to be seen and heard in 2026. Look no further than lead single “Aftertaste,” a modern rock explosion that flips the thrill of the chase upside down and leaves us turned around. It’s something we’ve all experienced.
The bright lights of home have been dimmed, and The Bites now speak a universal language. The writing process was a journey of discovery - nothing was off limits, and no inspiration was left unturned. If their debut album was about the Squeeze, The Bites will leave us all enjoying the juice.
“This is who we are,” says vocalist Jordan Tyler. “We can’t wait for people to join us on the ride!”

English indie rock group Black Box Recorder formed in London in 1997 and featured Sarah Nixey, John Moore, and Luke Haines. Their debut album, England Made Me, was released on Chrysalis Records in 1998. The album was named after the eponymous Graham Greene novel and fuses indie rock and easy-listening pop stylings with lyrics that explore life and the experience of growing up in England. Pitchfork's Michael Sandlin described the sound of the album as "mildly morose but slightly tongue-in-cheek Sylvia Plath-meets-Paul McCartney pop sensibility". England Made Me remains a high point in the band's catalogue with standout tracks including 'Kidnapping An Heiress', 'Girl Singing In The Wreckage', and the single 'Child Psychology' which was recently back in the spotlight with a viral moment on social media after being championed by Billie Eilish. This new edition has been curated with the assistance of the band and features a newly remaster version of the album on Clear Vinyl, and 1CD with bonus tracks containing b-sides. All audio has been remastered from the original production tapes by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering and cut by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios. Formats: 1/ The album is presented on standard weight Clear viny and 180gm black vinyl, printed inner. 2/ 1CD digisleeve, 12 page booklet

Black Marble hummed to life in the fall of 2012, switched on by the early aughts New York City synthwave revival. Today, fourteen years on and seven releases later, Chris Stewart continues to make records hunched over machines that warm to the touch when turned on and need to be coaxed to stay in tune. His albums, written, recorded, and delivered solely Stewart, remain singular visions, with songs that seek to convey a diffuse pastiche, now shaped by a desire to wrap the whole thing in a message that speaks to where he’s been and where he wants to go.
His latest vision, Life in Small Spaces, sees Stewart comment on the music industry and his role within it, reflecting on how underground music has changed over time, and how a blueprint for keeping things simple and being true to oneself is the only ideal for living in this complicated landscape.
Stewart's desire to span time with his ideals intact shows up in the songwriting, which retains the project’s pop-sensibilities while adding new tricks to the bag. Life in Small Spaces trades walls of synths for more guitar, drawing on early American left of the dial college radio staccato guitar lines recalling Pylon, The Necessaries, and R Stevie Moore, and live drum samples, a nod to Wire’s simple metronomic style. Stewart explains the reason for the change as a way to “create this chime-y hypnotic quality. Like a radio dial that is between two stations.”
Visually, Life in Small Spaces features Stewart alone on the cover in a sparse room, surrounded with an eruption of confetti—an image that reflects a self-contained world that may appear small, bleak and cluttered but is fully his own. A fitting frame for a record that embraces limitation as a form of clarity, and one that tells the story of choosing a simple life, giving up stability and comfort for an existence of bold and engaging connections. This further reflects Black Marble’s confidence in not only his artistry, but the community that has grown and evolved around the project over the years. “[Life in Small Spaces] is what I want to talk about as an artist. It's where I am at this exact moment and I knowI'm not alone in how I feel.”
This sentiment isn’t a disclaimer. It’s the point. Life in Small Spaces, with its introspective lyricism disguised neatly within Black Marble’s radiant musicality, is an earnest analysis of the pressures that shape artists. It is an invitation to accept and consciously agree to a more minimal lifestyle for the sake of creative expression and freedom, and to never need to compromise your values for the tempting illusion of success.

Germany's most exciting new indie voice Brockhoff opens a bold new chapter on her debut album Easy Peeler. At once melancholic and empowering, it bridges grunge-laced indie rock and early-2000s pop textures, wrapped in a deeply authentic songwriting voice. Guitars shimmer, drums pulse with understated urgency, and her voice carries a mix of fragility and quiet defiance. The title track is a shimmering yet raw piece of emotive indie rock that blends '90s alt nostalgia with a modern bedroom-pop sensibility, channeling influences like Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, and Weezer into something deeply personal and self-assured.

The BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND Blows Open the Doors of Possibility: Recorded at Chess Studios, East-West Sows the Seeds for Acid-Rock and Features Monster Performances from Mike Bloomfield and MoreExperience the 1966 Effort in Definitive Sound: Sourced from the Original Master Tapes and Strictly Limited to 2,500 Numbered Copies, Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid Mono SACD Makes the Album Available in Mono for the First Time in Nearly 60 YearsThe BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND might be most famous for serving as the backing group for Bob Dylan's famous electrified show at the Newport Folk Festival, but the collective earned a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame due to East-West. Though it remains a footnote in most incomplete histories of music, the 1966 record changed the shape of popular music, sowed the seeds for acidrock, and further demonstrated the visionary abilities and virtuosic skills of a sextet that took the blues in novel directions.Sourced from the original master tapes, strictly limited to 2,500numbered copies, and housed in a mini-LP-style gatefold package, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD presents East-West in audiophile sound - and in the original mono mix for the first time in nearly 60 years. Featuring crystal-clear clarity that exposes critical details, dynamics, and tones, this collectible reissue exhibits elevated levels of directness, coherency, and spaciousness. You'll experience the prized acoustics and dimensions of Chicago's Chess Studios at 2120 S. Michigan Avenue, where the set was recorded. Every aspect of the album benefits. Paul Butterfield's lead vocals and signature harmonica; Elvin Bishop's fusion of gospel, R&B, and country threads; Jerome Arnold's in-the-pocket bass; Billy Davenport's bossanova-derived drumming; Mark Naftalin's illuminating piano and organ; and of course, Mike Bloomfield's zinging electric guitar. Many decades later, that east-west journey is still one to be taken again and again.Numbered Hybrid Mono SACDLIMITED EDITION OF 2,500Tracklist:1. Walkin' Blues2. Get Out of My Life, Woman3.

Riding the least likely commercial success of the 90s with Modern Rock chart topper "Pepper," Austin odd rockers Butthole Surfers returned to the studio in 1998 for the followup, After The Astronaut. Leaning further into experiments with electronics, hip-hop, acid grooves, and the otherwise unusual, the result is a dizzying orbital trip expanding the idea of what's possible in rock music.Disputes between The Butthole Surfers and Capitol Records left the album unreleased, while the band regrouped and re-recorded some of the material for 2001's Weird Revolution, released through Hollywood Records. After The Astronaut collected dust, eventually developing a mythic status.A quarter century later, Butthole Surfers are realizing their vision for After The Astronaut. Newly mixed by guitarist/producer Paul Leary, After The Astronaut corrects the record on the band's activity in the late 90s with a bold, idiosyncratic evolution of their sun-fried psychedelia.

Recorded live at the final ever gig at Liverpool's original Cavern Club, this document captures Caliban in full, unruly flight. Ripping through a set of punk-edged hard rock before a partly bewildered crowd, the band unleash heavy, grinding riffs in a Deep Purple-meets-Third World War frenzy. Few venues loom as large in music history as the Cavern, birthplace of the Beatles and Cilla Black, and demolished in 1973. This recording preserves the very last night before the wrecking balls moved in at dawn. Caliban's early-'70s guitar-driven attack honours rock 'n' roll roots while pre-empting a distinctly British punk ethos, aligning them with Stack Waddy and Third World War, yet heavier and fiercer. Hugely popular locally, once supported by Judas Priest, this long-lost debut finally reveals Caliban: raw, confrontational, and uncompromisingly loud.

Available as a gatefold 2xLP / CD with new artwork on October 16th: Car Seat Headrest's Will Toledo re-imagines the band's breakout on Teen of Denial: Joe's Story. On the original record, Toledo used the name "Joe" as a stand-in for himself. Revisiting Teens in the run-up to it's 10th year, he felt compelled to give Joe a backstory and began tweaking the album to tell that tale. "The resulting work feels more like the album Teens of Denial was meant to be," Will Toledo writes in a new message to fans. "When you're writing from a dark space, it's hard to have perspective on where you're at. This time, I could pull from memories of that darkness, and use the distance and additional perspective of ten years of life to shed a fuller light on the experience. Joe is a character going through some of what I experienced, and some of his own problems."Early this year, the group returned to the studio with producer Steve Fisk to update accordingly -tweaking lyrics and recording new tunes in the "Denial-style," including the optimistic and anthemic "Joe Drives Again." The result retains Teens's dark edge and youthful cynicism, but promises a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Toledo writes, "I'm so grateful that this is a work that people have kept coming to, and I hope that this presentation does them honor with a fresh offering to the conversation. We've known that "it doesn't have to be like this"; now we can wonder - "'what it if were like this?'"
