Every year, the Recording Academy uses the weekend of the Grammy Awards to salute a musical legend with its MusiCares benefit show. This year, the MusiCares Persons Of The Year — awkward-ass phrase — are the Grateful Dead, who also just got the Kennedy Center Honors from the outgoing Joe Biden administration. At the Kennedy Center gala, artists like Sturgill Simpson, Maggie Rogers, and Dave Matthews covered the Dead. At the MusiCares show, a bunch of other people will pay tribute.
Happy birthday Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard, Tomahawk, Firewater, Legendary Shack Shakers). Sir, yes, sir. Photo for MAGNET by Wes Orshoski. Read our MAGNET Classics on the making of the Jesus Lizard’s Liar:
There’s no denying the Delines’ cult-hero pedigree. Featuring former Richmond Fontaine members Sean Oldham, Freddy Trujillo and Willy Vlautin and Damnations vocalist Amy Boone, the Portland-based quintet certainly qualifies as an Americana supergroup—one that’s found a passionate fanbase over the past decade, particularly in Europe and among the British press. “The Haunting Thoughts” is the […]
Monday was going pretty well for JPEGMAFIA with the release of new single “Protect The Cross” and the announcement of next week’s I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU (DIRECTOR’S CUT). But it took a turn for the worse with his performance last night in Berlin.
In late 2023, it was seemingly impossible to escape the topic of Matt Rife online. A lot of that chatter was about the comedian’s Netflix special Natural Selection, which opens with a sexist joke about domestic violence. In response to that backlash, Rife issued a mock apology on his Instagram story with a link to buy protective helmets designed for people with special needs, which obviously sparked more backlash. I didn’t hear about him very much for a while after that, but now he’s inescapable again — at least to Billy Idol in a new video sketch promoting his upcoming tour with Joan Jett.
Congratulations are in order for Stereogum’s Chris DeVille, whose Ohio State Buckeyes beat Notre Dame to win last night’s national college football championship game. (At least one of us has a football team who won a big game last weekend.) And congratulations are also in order for Travis Scott’s team of handlers, since apparently nobody is scared of another mass casualty incident at one of that guy’s performances. In the months ahead, Scott will headline Reading & Leeds and play in the big-font “designs the desert” slot at Coachella. Last night, Scott got to use the college football championship game to debut his new single “4×4.”
On 18 January 2025 (Saturday), South Korean indie-pop sensation, BOL4, helmed by the immensely talented Ahn Jiyoung, made a highly anticipated return to Singapore with her Bloom concert. Staged at The Theatre at Mediacorp, this visit came just over a year after her Love.Zip concert in September 2023, leaving SG LoBoLys delighted to reconnect so soon with the artist who continues to captivate their hearts.
Last year, Sexyy Red was arrested over a brawl at Newark Airport, shared a lip gloss line with a shade called “Gonorrhea,” and quietly canceled her tour due to low ticket sales. The St. Louis rapper has a knack for stirring conversation, and she did it again on MLK Day by sharing an AI-generated photo of herself with Martin Luther King Jr. Now, Bernice King has responded.
Elon Musk made a speech celebrating his good buddy Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on Monday. As our new Administrator Of The Department Of Government Efficiency wrapped up his words, the billionaire Tesla CEO put his hand on his chest, thanking Trump and his supporters, before extending his right arm straight out with his fingers together and his palm facing downwards. Then he turned around and did it again.
Grimy and explosive New York rockers the Men announced new album Buyer Beware back in November with the release of lead single “Pony.” Today the band has another preview of the LP for us, a burst of raw power called “PO Box 96.” Come for the battering-ram aggression, stay for the livewire guitar solo.
More than any other band, Philadelphia’s Nothing probably laid the foundation for the recent explosion of interest in shoegaze, especially its heavier variants. Back in 2023, Nothing announced their bicoastal shoegaze fest Slide Away, with incarnations happening in both Philly and Los Angeles. The festival went down last March, and by all accounts, it was something special. This year, Nothing will run it back, holding Slide Away fests in both New York and Los Angeles.
Consider this your formal introduction to Frollen Music Library, a sample library and production house out of Melbourne, Australia, that creates organic, sample-based productions and compositions for TV and film. FML’s Darvid Thor, Henry Jenkins and Hudson Whitlock are part of a vibrant indie-soul/R&B community that includes Karate Boogaloo, Surprise Chef, the Pro-Teens and other acts you’ve likely never heard of. Fueled by the vintage grooves of the ’60s and ’70s, the collective leans heavily into live ensemble recording and analogue production techniques.
Mallrat’s new album Light hit my face like a straight right out is imminent, arriving in only a couple of weeks, landing on the endearing release date of Valentine’s Day. To celebrate, the Australian pop artist went on The Kelly Clarkson Show to perform the single “Horses.”
In celebration of his 30th trip around the sun, Joey Bada$$ releases his new single, "Sorry Not Sorry" along with its music video. Courtesy of Waqas Ghani, the clip finds the Brooklyn rapper mobbing and celebrating with his crew while delivering some of his most unapologetic rhymes to date. "Might Deletе Later, I know damn
Larry June has no plans of slowing down. With that said, the San Francisco rapper releases his second drop of the year. Directed by Miggs, the visual finds Good Job Larry taking a moment to reflect as he hits his city streets. "Nigga, 2025, I'm takin' over shit / And to my young black men,
A few years ago, Loke Rahbek left Lust For Youth to focus on his solo project Croatian Amor. Today, Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor are announcing a collaborative album titled All Worlds, with a handful of guests joining them, including Melbourne producer Purient for the lead single “Dummy,” which is out now.
Alabama visual artist and longtime musician/educator Lonnie Holley has announced a new album, the follow-up to 2023’s guest-stacked Oh Me Oh My. Tonky is out in March and also features a metric ton of collaborators, including Mary Lattimore, Angel Bat Dawid, Joe Minter and Open Mike Eagle, Alabaster de Plume, Isaac Brock(!), billy woods, Jesca Hoop, and Saul Williams. Today, Holley is sharing a moving lead single called “Protest With Love.”
It’s been a while since Scowl’s incredible debut album, 2021’s How Flowers Grow. Since then, the Santa Cruz crew has risen to hardcore royalty at such a pace that the inevitable industry plant allegations abounded. Nevertheless Scowl persisted and unleashed the awesome Psychic Dance Routine EP in 2023, then made the surprising label jump from Flatspot to Dead Oceans last year. Today, they’re finally announcing their sophomore album, Are We All Angels.
