WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Dawn Richard is always worth taking note of, being one of the more interesting artists we have around currently. She shapeshifts between projects and this time around, she’s looking at her heritage. She’s revealed details of her first solo album in a long time, which is called ‘Creole Culture’ and you will be able to…

When we think of great pop comebacks, we think of artists who have been away for a little while, only for them to hit us with an absolute banger. However, that isn’t really a comeback – it’s more a continuation after a pause, right? Of course, there’s artists who fall-off, to eventually comeback with a…

‘Yes’ by McAlmont and Butler is, without doubt, one of the finest songs of the Nineties, melding the melodrama of 60s girl groups, Britpop and Glam, Scott Walker, show tunes and everything that is truly great about pure, anthemic pop music. Well, David has sat down with Jake Shears for the Queer the Music podcast,…

We are big fans of Mixcloud on this site – so much so that we upload our own radio show to it. It’s one of the best places to have algorithm-free listening and find new music to listen to. We’re not on the payroll – we’re not influential enough for that, and you know it.…

Power Pop princess, all-round good egg and Bangles co-founder Susanna Hoffs has some new music coming out, and that’s always worth celebrating isn’t it? You bet your sweet ass it is! So, what’s going on? This isn’t a new Bangs record, rather, she’s putting out ‘The List’, which is her first release of entirely new…

You can almost hear the knuckleheads saying ‘how is A.I. learning from all the music ever made any different to humans listening to music and learning from it?’, but, A.I. music scraper/generator Suno has lost a copyright case against German licensing firm GEMA. Back in 2025, GEMA filed an infringement case, saying that Suno was…

Forgive the click bait headline – this isn’t a Daft Punk interview technically – however, it IS an in depth interview with Thomas Bangalter. That’s still big. Of course Thomas, along with Guy-Man, were effectively silent since the second Daft Punk album, so whenever there’s any sighting of them since then, it’s very exciting. While…

Look, we’re on record as being big fans of the New Radicals’ Power Pop hit, ‘You Only Get What You Give’, and if you don’t like it, you’ve got it all wrong in your head. Just because it was a runaway success and omnipresent, doesn’t mean it isn’t a banger. If you want to read…

Wolf Alice have covered The Roches’ absolutely legendary ’79 acid-folk gem ‘Hammond Song’, for an imminent project and, all things being fair, we’re including both versions here, in case you haven’t heard the original. First thing’s first, here’s the Roches version which is the kind of song that will have you feel like you’re floating…

Tom Waits made a surprising return with Massive Attack lately on a track called ‘Boots On The Ground’, which made for an intense, insular listen about some of the global bullshit going on at the minute. Well, he’s back some more, releasing the full version of his spoken-word track ‘The Fly’, which of course, you…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

GILLA BAND / NEW LP, NEW SONG
Gilla Band used to be Girl Band, but changed their name. We’ll be able to stop saying that soon, as they’ll have a new album out and we can all move on. This new record is called ‘Pugnello’ and if you’re not fussed with more writing and want the tunes, scroll to the bottom for…
-
KELELA VS PINK PANTHERESS
Like everyone else, we’re completely in love with Pink Pantheress and everything she does, so the news that she’s collaborating with Kelela is fantastic news, right? They might feel like two artists with opposing sensibilities, but they share a lot of common ground. This new track is called ‘The Bridge’ and is from Kelela’s new…

BIITA HOUDEI DEBUT NEWS
We’ve featured Biita Houdei before, and now we get to tell you about her debut album which is coming out in September, and there’s a small UK tour to accompany it too, for fans of sunshine acid-folk. The album goes by the name of ‘This Bed Was Made For Me’ and we get to hear…

JORJA SMITH NEW LP ON THE WAY
Jorja Smith knows how to put a banger out, so it is fun news that she’s announced a new record which will be called ‘What Are The Odds?’, and you’ll be able to hear that next month, specifically on August 21st. She’s collabing with producer P2J and there’ll be features from Devlin and WizKid too. “This…
