There’s not a rapper I’ve texted more friends about this year than Fox BD. The one-minute-older twin brother of the popular YTB Fatt from West Memphis, Arkansas, floated onto my radar last summer with Eat, Sip, Shxt, Studio—more for the Devin the Dude-style album cover of him taking a dump than the music—but took off for real in January with Suxh an Asshole, one of the funniest and best rap mixtapes of the year. Landing somewhere between peak Rio Da Yung OG madness and Rylo Rodriguez braindumps, he’s got a flair for out of pocket yet oddly personal punchline rap…
The singer cut her Denver show after just three songs Megan Moroney was forced to abruptly end her show on Tuesday night in Denver due to an unspecified illness. The singer-songwriter was performing at the Ball Arena when she ended the concert after just three songs. “That was the hardest decision I've ever had to make & I'm so sorry to cancel the show tonight,” Moroney wrote on Instagram Stories. “I never ever will give you guys a show that is not 100% and by song 3 I knew that I wasn't capable of giving that to you guys tonight.…

The spoken word continues Eddie BrockAfter Act I: Confession it's time to Act II: Anger. If Act I: Confession was built on the admission of fragility and internal dialogue, Act II: Anger represents the moment in which that suffering changes shape. There is no longer passive introspection: the accumulated frustration turns into an indictment against the environment, the music industry and, at times, against himself. The text of Act II: Anger I've been getting slapped around for 15 yearsyou think they scare me3 assholes doing their homeworkall the doors closed in my face broke my noseevery time inside the housemore…
Five years have elapsed since Shannon Lay’s last album of original songs, and in the interim, the Los Angeles musician has been studying the proverbial blade. With 2023’s Covers Vol. 1, she sought new terrain in a set of classics that some might consider untouchable: She applied her smoky, whispered-secret timbre to Elliot Smith’s “Angeles” and pulled the Velvet Underground’s “I’m Set Free” from the cosmos to the meadow. She reinvented the classics, and now she’s reinvented her sound, journeying from earthy folk to songs that leapfrog across influences. Past the Veil trades the intimate production and sparse instrumentation of…
Alli Logout and Margo XS might seem to occupy opposite sides of the cultural spectrum. The former is the frontperson for New Orleans-based electronic post-queercore band Special Interest, a firecracker performer who can channel fury and sexuality onstage like few of their punk peers (I once saw them javelin a broken mic stand into a festival crowd with terrifying velocity). The latter is one of pop music’s rising producers, with a 2026 Grammy nomination for her work on Zara Larsson’s girlie-pop juggernaut “Midnight Sun,” and the executive producer of Kim Petras’ most recent album and subsequent club rebrand. Logout and…
Lots of rappers call themselves students of the game, but not all of them actually like to study. I get it—if you’re wary of overworking a verse or belaboring a reference, the mercurial energy of a marathon studio session or a hanging-mic freestyle is probably a safer bet. Not for ZayALLCAPS. The multi-dimensional California musician’s best trick is blurring the line between play and professionalism, rawness and rigor. “The medium itself is the artform,” he raps on his new LP, My Uncle Told Me Some Real Ass Sh*t on the Phone Yesterday. “It’s habits I formed.”Zay’s fourth album in as…
Bassist Jeff Ament's Since Forever captures the iconic band in rare moments throughout the decades As Pearl Jam evolved from a small group of friends in Seattle to one of the most impactful bands of their generation, founding member and bassist Jeff Ament began photographing their time backstage, in the studio, and on the road. Ament revisited his archive of decomposing negatives with his brother, designer Barry Ament, a few years ago. The rediscovery of these precious images led to their new book, Since Forevera visual journey capturing the band's friendship and creativity as they rose to fame. A press…
Ministry have announced what will be the final chapter of their story. The band led by Al Jourgensen will release their latest studio album, “Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)” on October 30th for Cleopatra Records, which will be followed by a farewell tour destined to put an end to a career that began in 1981 and became fundamental to the evolution of industrial metal. For some time Jourgensen had hinted that the project had reached the end of the line, but now the decision is final. With his usual direct language, the band leader summed up the moment…
The administration used Kahan’s “American Cars” to soundtrack photos of the president visiting General Motors’ flagship test site Noah Kahan has made it clear that he would never approve the use of his music to support the Trump administration. On Monday, the White House posted a series of Instagram photos depicting President Donald Trump‘s visit to General Motors’ flagship test site in Michigan. During his stop, the president took the opportunity to boast about his controversial tariffs across the auto industry and pumped his fist while watching a drag race. The photo carousel was bizarrely soundtracked to Kahan’s “American Cars,”…
