WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!…

Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a…

The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a…

Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…

Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat…

The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns…

If you’re in the market for some seriously fun indie fuzz pop, then you will like the new song from Swedish group Girl Scout, who just so happen to have told everyone that they’ve got a new EP coming out. The EP is called ‘Headache’ and it’ll be out in November (where did the year…

Once upon a time in the days of black and white and the British pound being split up into unfathomable fractions, fans of football teams would clap and twirl their rattles, cheering on their favourite football team and having a pint or six, with a hard luck to or from the opposing fanbase. Something changed…

HIP FONTS OF THE US GOVT
Like looking at ace 70s graphic design? Cool fonts? You’re in luck. You’ll have to not sneer at Richard Nixon briefly, but you’re a grown up, you’ll manage. Here’s a great, short video that should set you off down some graphic design wormholes.

WANT TO SEE CRAZY TOWN HAVING A FIGHT?
You know Crazy Town don’t you? Come my lady, come, come my lady lol. Anyway, we’re not arsed about their music and we’re assuming you’re not either. An embarrassing, ugly fist-fight? COUNT US IN! You’ve probably already seen this, but it’s the weekend and we’ve gone to the pub and just scheduled this. The singers…

RICO NASTY VERSUS 100 GECS IS ALWAYS FUN
Rico Nasty makes mega fun club hip hop, and once again, we see they’re in a tagteam with 100 Gecs, so we’re in for a whole load of trouble as usual! The new track is called ‘Turn It Up’, and seeing as Rico Nasty coined the phrase ‘sugar trap’ about her music, it’s funny that…

YUSSEF DAYES BLACK CLASSICAL
There’s a new LP due from Yussef Dayes called ‘Black Classic Music’ on September 8th, and if you’re a head on the UK jazz scene currently, you’ll be more than aware of the swirl around the percussionist right now. Expect some heavy, heavy music for sure. Yussef Dayes, in jazzer form, shared his thoughts: “What…
