WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Here’s a sweet mix from Vero G with Discodelic, and is full to bursting with Latin American gems! Vero G hails from San Francisco, and honestly, has a record collection that’ll make you jealous. Recorded live at the Discodelic store in San Francisco, and this is a channel new to us and we’ll be keeping…

Pop music seems to be veering into the ditch in 2024. Now, this is not to say that it is in the ditch because it sucks, but rather, because there’s a brand of reckless, very silly, hedonistic pop that’s not too concerned with being polite and polished. If this is some kind of brat szn,…

Remi Wolf seems to be someone who thought about putting all her ideas and buoyancy on a tight leash, but soon found out that it was impossible and they all just erupted out of the top of her head. On stage, she’s infectious and with so much energy that it can feel like watching someone…

You already know who Rod Argent is – songwriter extraordinaire, keyboardist, and founder of the achingly wonderful group, The Zombies. Rod is going to immediately retire from the touring life after suffering a stroke, and we’d just like to wish him good health. Argent and the Zombies management team made an announcement, which you can…

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a silly band name, but that’s cool and they know it. They are a prolific band and there’s no-one quite like them as they veer from psych, to metal, to prog, to whatever else takes their fancy. They have a new album coming out called ‘FLIGHT b741’, and of…

The annoying section of music fans who insist on saying ‘album cycle’ and ‘eras’ will be having a field day today as Katy Perry has released a new song, which signifies the start of her new ‘album cycle’ or ‘era’. It’s viral marketing talk for ‘having a new record out’, and of course, when there’s…

Well, we told you about The Junipers brilliant new single, and now you can hear it and see it! It’s called ‘Annie Almond’ and it is a perfectly timed slice of psychedelic pop and they once again they prove to be the greatest band on the planet. The song is available exclusively on their Bandcamp…

Mark Lanegan’s estate have announced a new box set of ‘Bubblegum’ to celebrate the 20th anniversary of it. The best bit of news for you is that it will include 12 previously unreleased songs. It’ll be called ‘Bubblegum XX’ and you’ll be able to hear it on August 23rd, and for vinyl heads, there’ll be…

Confidence Man are the funnest thing around and if you’re feeling cynical about them, you need to sort yourself out. ConMan are not that deep. Big bangers. Daft dance routines. Pure hedonism and self aware. Get on it for a good time, not a long time etc. Well, they’ve got a new song and a…

You may not know this, but thankfully we’re on hand to let you in on the secret – The Junipers are the greatest band in the entire world. Melding heady psychedelia, bubblegum pop and baroque rock, there’s no-one quite like them. Impossibly catchy, superbly crafted and two tonnes of fun, they’ve been hibernating for a…

REVIEWING ALL THE STROKES ALBUMS
With The Strokes announcing a new album, it’s probably a good time to have a rummage through their back catalogue on THEPOPCORPS, right? Lauded as game-changers and spearheads of the Indie Sleaze scene, they’re a group that never quite hit with us, even though on paper, they should have. Garage Punk sensibilities, New York trash,…

SABRINA CARPENTER’S GIFFABLE NEW VIDEO
Sabrina Carpenter seems to be living her best life these days, and that’s exactly the kind of thing you want to see your pop stars doing – nice clothes, drunk cigs and splashy pop videos where everyone gets to play dress up. Concerning the latter, she’s released a new video which you’re inevitably going to…

WIRELESS – CANCELLED
The sponsors were pulling out, and the government were getting involved, so it isn’t surprising that the Kanye three night headliner set has seen Wireless Festival be fully cancelled. The UK government were talking about whether or not the artist would be allowed in the country, and have now fully blocked Kanye West’s travel to…

CHANPAN’S POP DRUM N BASS
Chanpan are from New York – which seems to be popping off as a city again these days, right? – and they’re a trio who make future facing, personality-led pop, which is no bad thing obviously if you’re in the market for something to get into. They’ve been making a decent amount of noise for…
