There was a time during the Beatles' rise to fame that Paul McCartney thought he had found the one place he could roam without being spotted.

It's not often that you hear songs with catchy melodies, meticulous production and extravagant instrumental solutions, all together, one after the other, in the same album. When this happens, the first thing that automatically comes to mind is: “If this record had been released thirty or forty years ago, it could have become a classic”. This is what I thought even while listening to the debut album by Messiness, a Milanese band already active since 2024, created by Massimiliano Raffa, a multifaceted musician and professor of Sociology at the University of Milan-Bicocca. Having set aside the Johann Sebastian Punk project,…

As a lanky 20-something, Adamson had previously jutted around with the Scottish punks who made up his early band, Skids, in the clip for “Into the Valley,” which climbed to No. 10 on UK charts. But in the footage for “In a Big Country,” Adamson looks like your coworker plowing through karaoke, contorting their face into pained shapes after a miserable week at the office. Imagine if, sometime in the winter of 1983, you had muted MTV to make a sandwich or use the…

Something uncanny happens during “upstairs at els,” the closing track on Bleachers’ new album. Jack Antonoff is weaving through a party on the roof of Electric Lady Studios, picking out faces from the mass of people: “Inside Jack and Carly Rae/Part of the band, Laura, Oli, and Ray.” Turns out that “Jack” is Electric Lady’s recording engineer, Jack Manning, but for a moment, I thought Antonoff was recounting an out-of-body experience, a glimpse of himself from outside himself.

Thirty years of career, more than twenty albums, but above all a commendable artistic integrity: Simon Joyner won his battle against the record system and the seduction of success, going through the most difficult years of rock music unscathed. “Tough Love” is the last chapter of a still exciting story, a record that keeps alive the tradition of Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed and Bob Dylan, that same tradition that has found new points of reference in artists like Will Oldham and Kevin Morby. It's not difficult to understand why Joyner's colleagues continue to sing his praises and point to him…
