Olivia Rodrigo lived out the ultimate teenage fantasy: writing a song for Robert Smith about how unhappy you are and being hugged by the lead singer of the Cure. The two had a surprise duet at Primavera performing a piece that will be on her new album and which has a very Robert Smith-like title, What's Wrong With Me?. What a beautiful moment of intergenerational gothic harmony. The god of 80s melancholy was proud and happy as he sang alongside Rodigo this great new song that he himself helped inspire. Who hasn't dreamed of making a list of all their…

vote8.0 Bands: BIG BRAVE Duration: 00:44:07 Available from: 12/06/2026 Label: Thrill Jockey Records Streaming not yet available. It is a process of increasingly radical reduction to the minimum terms that Big Brave are carrying out with their music. After years spent stunning, hammering, even disturbing, through a unique mix of noise rock, shoegaze and metal, with the splendid “A Chaos Of Flowers” they had portrayed themselves in a more intimate, rarefied, nocturnal dimension, completely or almost completely abandoning excruciating feedback, massive distortions, real heaviness.With “In Grief Or In Hope” the trio starts again from those painful and beautiful notes, filtering…

Remember when dubstep was good? Paris-born producer and DJ Beatrice M. certainly does: Their music calls back to the genre’s mid-2000s South London days, when dub implied reggae, Skream was a youthful prodigy, and Sonny Moore was the singer in a hardcore band.It was probably inevitable that this sound would come round again, with music’s proverbial 20-year fashion cycle once again raising its head. But Sinking, Beatrice M.’s debut album, released on the none-more-cerebral dubstep label Tectonic, has more to it than simple revival. On the one hand, the record is full of the recognizable traits of classic dubstep—the reggae-inspired…

Halfway through “Circa,” a highlight of the exquisite new Navy Blue record, Sage Elsesser asks the question central to his work: “Can’t you see that it’s all cyclical?” He’s emphasizing the fact that grief is nonlinear and unavoidable, but he places the question at the end of his verse, leaving it hanging in the air. The broad themes of Navy Blue’s music—depression, trauma, resilience, joy—are not static, unchanging experiences. They can come in waves, crashing violently against you before retreating to rebuild their energy. If you can recognize the patterns, the intervals at which they appear, you might be able…

In the last few years, RealYungPhil’s raps have taken on the effect of that friend who always has a life-affirming conversation with you on the porch outside of a house party. I’m talking the kind of heart-to-heart where you only hear faded murmurs of the music coming from inside whenever the door swings open, and when you go back into the crib, somehow so much time has passed that nearly everyone is gone. This casual pensiveness has been part of Phil’s deadpan punchline rap since at least the early 2020s, when I only knew him as the Connecticut-raised graduate of…

“Not everyone can visit Lem in Hollywood, we are bringing him back to his fans,” explains the manager Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM

vote7.5 Bands: STORMKEEP Duration: 00:44:49 Available from: 12/06/2026 Label: Vesperian Streaming not yet available. Everything that revolves around the universe of Blood Incantation is undoubtedly characterized by realities of absolute depth, both in the death metal field with Spectral Voice, and in the black metal field with Wayfarer and Stormkeep – both realities that maintain a very distinct sound, personality and imagery despite the mix of musicians within the groups; a result that is anything but obvious, especially if you think of the Wayfarers and their peculiar reflection on the decadentism of the American Old West.Stormkeep, who in addition to…

The mayor of Pittsburgh has denied claims made by Morgan Wallen, saying that the singer never consulted city public safety officials before cancelling a recent show. The comments relate to a show in the Steel city that was meant to go ahead this Saturday (June 6), but was cancelled just hours before doors opened due to the threat of “severe weather”. Wallen played at the Acrisure Stadium on Friday (June 5) but axed his second date at the arena, telling fans at around 1pm that his team spoke with “local officials” and found that they had “no choice but to…
