WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

We nearly put a wrong photo on this article to see if anyone was paying attention, but that’s way too needy isn’t it? Instead, we’re just going to embed the video without too much ceremony. Besides, you’ve probably already worked out whether you like James Blake or not and we’re not going to influence you…

Geoff Barrow surprised everyone with a new album from his Beak> project which is fun! It also comes with some surprise tour dates for those of you who love a pint and some live music. It’s the first new stuff in six years, and if you know what the previous LPs were called, then you’ll…

Hey punkheads – there’s new music from Amyl & The Sniffers! There’s a couple of tracks for you to get your teeth into. In a bid to remind you that music is something to actively participate in, rather than passively soak up, we’re only sharing one of the songs so you can go find the…

Bab L’Bluz are one of the most exciting and fresh rock groups on planet earth right now. A wonderful mix of psychedelic rock and North African music, their ‘Nayda!’ album is a modern masterpiece and a firm favourite here at THEPOPCORPS, and exactly the kind of album you’ll casually put on the turntable and have…

There’s a number of bigger bands releasing stuff at the minute and they don’t need the promo and we’re not going to steal any traffic from the NME, so what’s the point? Instead, we’re all excited about DJ JakoJako’s new one called ‘Modus’. It’s a clicky, menacing, fun piece of techno which is no surprise…

Look, we can’t lie – we think a lot of shoegaze and grunge is pretty crappy, and the newer versions of them that’s been doing the rounds hasn’t been too great either. Now, that’s not to say that there isn’t excellent shoegaze and grunge old and new – far from it. However, it’s all a…

It can be confusing trying to keep up with genres and all that, and you can’t be expected to keep up with everything we’re saying. No drama. See, BANDSPLAINING is the finest channel on YouTube doing deep dives on cool shit and well researched, whip smart and fun. Looking at 2010s music, this video we’re…

Peggy Gou is a goodtime producer and the South Korean DJ and music-maker has a new bop out which is perfect for the incoming good weather. It’s called ‘Lobster Telephone’ (inspired by the Dali piece, you’d assume) and is taken from her imminent debut LP on XL Records called ‘I Hear You’. Of the new…

The Balearics have long been a destination for partygoers and obviously, that comes with its own unique set of problems. Notably, the problems come in the shape of people drinking too much in the lovely weather and then passing out in the street, puking on street corners, getting in scraps and falling asleep in clubs.…

ShyGirl is releasing a remix EP which has some great remixers on it, and that is always good for the soul! It’s called Club Shy EP and features one of our favourites Logic1000 (who released one of our favourite albums of 2024), as well as VTSS, X-Coast, and Fedde Le Grand, and others. You’ll be…

REBECCA BLACK: FORGET THE MEMES – THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING
12 years ago on this very day, Rebecca Black released ‘Friday’ and became a meme. She implored us that we needed to get down on Friday, and over a decade later with the release of her first LP ‘Let Her Burn’, on a literal Friday, it’s very easy to get down, because in a week…

CORONATION TICKET BALLOT FOR THE SCABS AMONGST YOU
This summer, King Charles III will be getting fitted with a new hat and of course, us loyal servants will be allowed to stop averting our eyes for the day to look directly at a man who is still called Prince Charles really. Of course, like all public holiday things, the 24 hour news channels…

WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT MAMA
Matthew McConaughey is going to provide the voice for Elvis Presley in a new animated TV series, which explains the terrible joke we made in the headline. Don’t worry – there’ll be more terrible takes to come. Producers at Netflix announced that the Oscar-winning actor will voice to the lead character in the upcoming action-comedy…

NEW BC CAMPLIGHT
You may know of BC Camplight already, but if you don’t, there’s a lot to love with Brian “BC” Christinzio. Parts stadium sized rock, part Todd Rundgren, part something else entirely his own, there’s always good stuff to be found on a BC LP. Well, there’s new shit coming on an album called ‘The Last…
