Kendrick (current GOAT, no arguments please) is cousins with Baby Keem and they’ve released a track together called ‘The Hillbillies’, which is a super fun track designed for the warm-up bit of your Saturday night DJ sets! It samples Bon Iver, but don’t let that put you off. The video is super stylish and you…

DEVO are almost custom built for being turned into toys aren’t they? They have, indeed, been turned into toys and it’s happening again, and you can get a DEVO action figure! There’s a new DEVO ReAction Figure inspired by frontman Mark Mothersbaugh in the ‘Whip It’ video, and he’ll come complete with his funny little hat, a whip,…

Look, we’re no fans of festivals here but you might be, so go have your fun. You may have snagged yourself a Glastonbury ticket and wondering who to watch? Well, here’s who we’d watch if we could bare the thought of going to a festival (this isn’t Glastonbury-specific – we literally mean all festivals) or…

Rammstein, only days ago, were subject to mildly amused news articles about singer Till Lindermann falling off stage. However, things have got serious and quickly. The band have had to address numerous allegations which alleged that a fan was drugged at a party by Lindemann before the band’s recent show in Lithuania. In a long…

When you go to your work’s Christmas party and get talking to Kevin from accounts for the first time, you get talking about music and he says he “likes a bit of rock” before telling you he’s seen Royal Blood more times than any other band, you’re like “huh?” then it kinda adds up. That’s…

Léna C has been making waves with her brilliant record selections for a minute now, and even better is that she’s put some cool tunes out of her own. Léna’s ‘Promenade’ EP is a firm favourite at Pop Corps (check it out here). Now, she’s done a brilliant psych folk mix for the magic My…

Haley Blais is apparently a YouTuber. We don’t really know anything about that. What we do know is that her new single is called ‘Matchmaker’ and it’s cool! It’s classic Bedroom Pop, which is always super charming when done correctly. It’s almost the introvert version of garage rock, isn’t it? It’s all enthusiastically and amateurishly…

If you’re fortunate enough to live in a country that pretty much lets you listen to whatever music you want, then the idea of clandestine record pressing may sound strange. However, the human need to listen to cool music is insatiable, and one of the most fascinating stories comes from Soviet Russia, where the government…

![ABBA SAY ‘NO’ [OR ‘NEJ’]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/abba.webp?w=1000)
Thanks to a slightly suss panel vote at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, Sweden once again won the show, equalling Ireland’s record for most times won, and also, giving Eurovision legend Loreen another crown. Why suss? Well, the public clearly wanted a different winner, and the 2024 show just so happens to coincide with a…

NEW JAY SOM
‘Baybee’ by Jay Som is a favourite at ThePopCorps, and so we’ve always kept an eye out for new music. Luckily for us, there’s the first new album in 6 years coming our way! And things are a smidge different this time ’round. October will see the release of ‘Belong’, but for now, we’ve got…

SUDAN ARCHIVES GOOD GOOD
You know something? It’s really great to hear someone yell their head off on a rap track. It’s all been a bit xannied out for a while, or sad-boi, lonely-at-the-top ‘tune, and it’s little wonder people have been gravitating toward a bit of personality and spark. And so, to Sudan Archives’ new one, ‘Ms Pac…

MODERN NATURE’S UNSEEN FORCES
It must be horrible when people ask you what your songs mean, and so to Jack Cooper’s Modern Nature who have a new song out called ‘Alpenglow’. Apparently, according to Cooper, the track is named after “an optical phenomenon and the name given to the colours around a setting sun. It ties in with the…
