Miley Cyrus addressed the criticism of her comeback show at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday night, calling out “clickbait” videos that accused her of not fully investing herself in the performance because she didn’t sing every word of the songs. “I’ve never heard that I don’t put my heart into something,” she told the audience at her second Bowl concert on Sunday night. “I don’t know if any of you heard that,” she said of the criticism. “That somebody was doing commentary to get clickbait on their video talking about my show on Friday night, but I’m a lot of…

Nel 2016 chiunque lavorasse in una rivista musicale e volesse dimostrare di vivere nel presente doveva affrontare la questione trap. Sul “come” ci si rimetteva alla linea editoriale: alcuni avevano da ridire sui testi, sulle basi, sui videoclip, su, non so, i cappellini con la visiera troppo piegata; altri era entusiasti, a volte per forzato giovanilismo, altre per genuino apprezzamento. Su Rolling Stone ne parlavamo con cauta simpatia (“cauta” solo perché se trattavamo di qualcosa senza chitarre elettriche arrivavano i fan del classic rock a dire che «questa non è vera musica», ci toccava nascondere gli articoli tra un’intervista a…

Before fish narc sounded like the second coming of the Lemonheads, Olympia, Washington songwriter Ben Funkhouser toiled as a producer and beatmaker at the forefront of the SoundCloud rap scene. As a member of Seattle’sThraxxHouse collective and L.A.-based affiliate GothBoiClique, he went on to produce for Lil Peep and collaborate with Clams Casino and Wicca Phase Springs Eternal. Funkhouser’s production brought a DIY punk aesthetic, often juxtaposing rock-oriented arrangements with woozy witch house. He eventually pivoted to rock full-time on 2025’s grungier, Tigers Jaw-inspired frog song. On Uncle, fish narc sheds his past experimental impulses and finds a new identity…

In the background of a gut-wrenching new album from Teller Bank$, there’s a preacher who sees himself in the biblical parable of Noah’s ark. He speaks of Noah’s perceived transmissions from God as though he’s experienced some of his own. “God will give you a vision that makes you look crazy,” the preacher says. “And it will have people talking about you, it will have people laughing at you.” He pauses for a crowd affirmation that never comes. “It will have [people] saying, ‘Why are you consumed in this stuff?’” Across NOAH, Bank$’ third album this year, he uses the…

Doug Dulgarian founded Julia’s War Recordings in 2021 to help his friends release cassettes of the cool music they were making. The Philadelphia musician and They Are Gutting a Body of Water frontman has long demonstrated a fondness towards physical media formats: wearing out CDs in his tour van; dismantling VHS tapes for music videos; and, as a kid, collecting unlicensed remix compilations of tracks by his favorite artists, absorbing an eclecticism that he’d eventually reflect back in TAGABOW’s output.Since 2017, Dulgarian has grown TAGABOW from its placid, solo origins into one of the decade’s most influential and inventive shoegaze…

Where exactly does Worldpeace DMT fit in? Once a solo project, now a duo, and occasionally a motley “band for hire,” they descend from a lineage of groups who reinvented pop, and reinvented themselves in the process: Beatles and Beach Boys; Belle and Sebastian and Animal Collective. Where the 2000s ran with the ’60s’ notion of a “studio band,” Fincham and Please invert the present notion of a “laptop” act—not simulating live music synthetically, but applying the organizational logic of Ableton to reality. Stick Around for Tea is all singsong and slinky strings, stray rattles and petulant shouts: songcraft as…

Songwriting has long been at the core of music, and for a time, it was one of the surest ways to make a living. Today’s industry, driven by streams and fractional royalty rates, has made it harder for writers to sustain the craft, but that won’t stop the talented from trying. The boom in podcasts about song creation proves songcraft has universal appeal. Some episodes put recognizable names and faces in the guest seat, but many spotlight the unseen creatives behind the scenes. Although you don’t have to be a musician to ask how it’s done, many of these podcasts…

Red Hot Chili Peppers dove deep into their catalog for their headlining set at Silverlake Conservatory of Music’s 25th anniversary benefit show at Hollywood Palladium on Saturday, delivering a handful of rarities alongside their biggest hits. Their set was among a bevy of highlights from an A-List lineup that included Foo Fighters dusting off their own rarity, and Vince Staples, whose bandmates include Silverlake Conservatory alumni.

“My articulation is no match against this, the magnitude of losing you. I am, quite literally, down on my fucking knees,” model’s younger sister writes in first public statement since her brother’s death Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford both paid tribute to Presley Gerber on social media Sunday, nearly one month after the model died at the age of 27. “We feel so blessed to have had Presley in our lives for 27 years. He is a sweet, beautiful soul who loved and is loved, now and forever,” Crawford wrote in her first Instagram post since Presley’s death on September…
