If an album title like Pussy’s Dead doesn’t grab your attention, I’m not sure anything will. The 10-track LP is the third studio album from American alt rock trio Autolux. The band, who just wrapped a second weekend at Coachella and scored a mention on NPR’s All Songs Considered, is amidst a North American and […]
If you’re a fan of girl rock like HAIM, Hinds, or Warpaint, there’s a new band out there for you. Hailing from the UK, The Big Moon is a four-piece rock group beginning to make some serious sound waves.

Fresh off of touring as an opener for Elvis Costello and landing a guest spot on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Rebecca and Megan Lovell of Larkin Poe stopped by New York’s Lower East Side to play a set at Mercury Lounge.

The self-proclaimed “minimalist composer,” who uses a slew of keyboards, pedals, and mixers, […]
Ahead of the launch of their North American and European tour, ‘90s alt rock veterans The Dandy Warhols have been teasing fans with singles off their new album Distortland, which just dropped April 8. The band, who I’ll see this Tuesday in New York City on the second stop of their two-month whirlwind of a […]
Fresh off the April 1 release of his new album Are You Serious, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird stopped by New York City’s Terminal 5 for one of the early shows of his spring tour. He opened up his set on Friday, April 8 with “Capsized,” the leading track from the new album, immediately […]
