Muse’s Matt Bellamy has spoken to NME about overcoming “personal struggles” to rediscover his need for music on new album ‘The Wow!’ Signal’. The Teignmouth space rock trio release their 10th LP today (Friday June 26), with NME hailing it as “undoubtedly their most consistent and satisfying album since 2006’s ‘Black Holes & Revelations’ – doubling up as either a knowing gift to the fans or at least a response to any concerns that Muse had long disappeared too far up their own supermassive blackholes.” Named after a powerful and mysterious signal received in 1976 and believed to be from…

It was a rich year, for jazz and for OndaRock's look at jazz. Known above all for its articles in the pop and rock fields, in 2023 our magazine further strengthened its proposal in the jazz field. The interest in the sector of a growing number of editors has helped to broaden the range of in-depth styles and artists, and develop an increasingly recognizable slant. OndaRock's perspective now places names at the center of the attention of “jazzophiles” alongside artists with a more hybrid character, often also linked to areas such as electronics, rock, hip-hop, traditional and avant-garde music. Aware…

C’era una volta il beat. Ovvero, quando l’Italia iniziò ad affrancarsi dalla sua tradizione nazionalpopolare per lasciarsi contagiare dalla British Invasion e dalle vibrazioni rock’n’roll d’oltreoceano. Un genere e un movimento giovanile che si diffusero nel nostro paese durante gli anni 60, con sporadici revival nei decenni successivi. La musica beat era – come tanti generi – tutto e niente. Era soprattutto un’attitudine – vagamente contestataria – e un approccio più internazionale al formato canzone, che si sposava però spesso a un gusto melodico di marca prettamente italiana. Quasi impossibile stabilirne i confini, ma c’è chi, come il critico Cesare…

The alienation that makes one unable to react, the inertia as poison in a society that mixes everything and absorbs nothing, and the silence evoked as a lifeline and the only form of resistance in a highly toxic world. These are the thematic parameters that outline the moods and anxieties at the center of “Comfort In The Silence”, starting from the launch single of Pinhdar's new album, “Mute”, which rests, coincidentally, on the strength of silence as a screen for everything, for a song with the typical darkwave sounds so dear to the Milanese duo composed of the singer Cecilia…

Félicia Atkinson’s sound collages—ever-expanding webs of electronics, field recordings, spoken word, and piano—seem to haunt the spaces they occupy, draping themselves in every corner like an otherworldly presence. With SANS VISAGE, the French composer’s new score for Georges Franju’s 1960 film Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face), she leans into her music’s ghostliness, using delicate layers of airy electronics to conjure the film’s looming dread and pairing contrasting textures to meditate on the invisible and visible bars that trap us.The Belgian cultural center Viernulvier approached Atkinson to create the score as part of its Videodroom series; the recorded…

For more than a decade, River Shook fronted Sarah Shook and the Disarmers, a raucous but fitfully tender country-rock unit that, for most of its run, hit the bottle as hard as it hit the pavement. In that grandest of country music traditions, the Disarmers’ songs were honest reflections of the blackout-chasing lives the members were living, but that changed when Shook got sober in 2019. The albums that followed, especially 2024’s incisive Revelations, were more clear-eyed; they also exposed the fault lines that had begun to destabilize the Disarmers. In June 2025, Shook played their final show with their…

It’s been almost a decade since the last Downtown Boys LP, and the cost of living has never been higher. Corporations lay off workers en masse in hopes of replicating their labor with LLMs. The social safety net is gutted, funding for the arts slashed. The United States has just minted the world’s first trillionaire. The barrage of body blows to the collective consciousness is exhausting.But Downtown Boys have never shied away from putting in the work. “Eres el desastre/No es mi límite,” Victoria Marie bellows on “No Me Jodas,” the opening track of their new album, Public Luxury. The…

The duo trade verses on the candid and vulnerable track Steve Lacy and SZA have unveiled their new collaborative single, “Is It Cool?” The candid lyrics see Lacy confessing to his self-sabotaging habits as he sings, “I just cheat every now and again/That was hard for me to admit/'Cause I really want commit.” His intimate vocals weave into SZA's verse as she proposes, “Being vulnerable is exhausting, babe/Can we get naked instead of talking, babe?” In August 2025, Lacy spoke with Rolling Stone about his upcoming album, Oh yeah?arriving July 17 via RCA Records. The follow-up to 2022's Gemini Rights…
