WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

They’re AM Radio friendly country music, that’s for sure – but Midland sure know how to rock a look. They’re all Nudie suits and big hats and in the slick country universe, they’re about as classic country rock as you can get. The trio have a new single out called ‘Lucky Sometimes’ and will feature

When we launched THEPOPCORPS, we fully intended to make no money. That was 100% the business model. No sponsorships, no kind editorials in exchange for goods and services from PR companies and record labels. No free tickets. No free albums. You’re more likely to give an honest review when you’re using your own money and

There’s something in the lizard bit of our brain that just loves a song that sounds like it should be played late and way too loud in a dive bar somewhere. These songs don’t need to reinvent the wheel – they need to be good, honest rock ‘n’ roll, whatever stripe of rock that is.

It seems that there’s a bit of a cottage industry around Drugdealer, where anyone related to them in any way is putting out sepia-toned ’70s pop, which is obviously a good thing. Are the returns a wholesale great thing? We dunno, but it’s always worth tuning in for honestly, given the strength of the second

There’s been a study undertaken that could show how humans first started getting into music as a species, and we were into it first. The study suggests that Madagascan lemurs used music for a variety of purposes, which could give insight in how humans evolved into creating music, but we prefer the early stuff. Co-author

Look, we don’t quite know what’s happening but we’ll share the news all the same. On Brian Wilson’s Instagram page, it basically says that coming this Friday, is ‘Ding Dang’. We had a little search on Google for ‘Brian Wilson Ding Dang’, and all it came up with was a link to his website which sadly

Allegra Krieger is new to us, so we won’t pretend we know loads about her and just crib notes from other websites like we do. All we know is that there’s a new single out called ‘Never Arriving’ and its a kind of country tinged indie rock that sounds pretty cool. There’s been releases before,

There’s going to be a final album from hyper-pop trailblazer SOPHIE, three years on from their untimely death. It’ll be an eponymous affair, and there’s a new song called ‘Reason Why’ which features Kim Petras and BC Kingdom. The album will be released on September 27th, and a statement from SOPHIE’s family reads: “When we,

There’s always a danger with Kehlani that her brand of R&B reads too much Tumblr. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but her seam of through-thought can occasionally focus a little heavily on who she’s making eyes at, identity and poor decision making in love and lust. It’s a common complaint of R&B at large,

‘MICHAEL’ TRAILER DROP
The first trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic has dropped. The film is called ‘Michael’, which worries us slightly as it suggests it’s all going to be a little too kind and not gnarly enough to be a meaty movie. In addition to that, Jackson is being played by his nephew Jaafar, which again, suggests…

DE LA SOUL RETURN
De La Soul have a new album coming out and it goes by the name of ‘Cabin in the Sky’, and for those of you Daisy Agers who can’t wait to see if the boys have still got it, you can listen to a song from it below. The newbie is called ‘The Package’, and…

SPOTIFY PAYOLA?
Any musician who has uploaded their music to Spotify as an independent artist knows how futile it all is, expecting to end up on any of the editorial lists made by the company, which help push songs to millions of people using their front page. The fact is, if you don’t have the connections through…
