I t’s a seasonally ambivalent day at Brooklyn’s Herbert Von King Park, and Vancouver-based singer and producer Sophia Stel is in need of a lighter. She’s smoking Canadian cigarettes, which, as I hand her a light blue Bic, she describes as “more polite,” taking after her fellow citizens’ pleasant disposition. She’s in town doing press ahead of her album release party this week. The record in question is called the greatest album of all time, and it feels like watching a shy kid blossom in front of a talent show crowd. Stel first came onto the scene in 2024 with…

“There’s nothing better than jamming with friends,” Taylor Momsen said of the new version of the Dear God track Dave Grohl and Pat Smear have linked up with Taylor Momsen and the Pretty Reckless for a new version of the latter’s song, “About You.” The new version isn’t too dissimilar from the original — both being high-flying rock songs — but Grohl and Smear give the track a distinct Foo Fighters-esque edge. Smear and Grohl both contributed guitar, adding some chunky palm muted power chords, while Grohl plays the drums with that characteristic thundering skip. Grohl also contributes some new…
For years, it was hard not to wonder if the Chicks could ever move past it. The incident, that is — when Natalie Maines told an audience in London, England, during a show in 2003 that she was “ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas.” Would it always overshadow the music, and define the band? The Chicks’ Oct. 15 show at Nashville’s new venue the Truth proved that wondering so is maybe asking the wrong questions. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Rick Rubin-produced, Grammy-sweeping LP Taking the Long Way (and accompanying reissue), there was no shying…

My Chemical Romance have dropped the lively, previously unreleased song ‘Someone Out There Loves You’. The song arrives ahead of the emo icons releasing an expanded 20th anniversary reissue of their classic album ‘The Black Parade’.

The word “audiophile” can be divisive, but we can generally agree it means someone who uses equipment that allows them to hear their music in the highest possible fidelity. That could mean exclusively listening to first pressings of their favorite albums on vinyl, searching out SACDs from boutique labels (Analogue Productions, Mobile Fidelity, Intervention Records), or finding the best-mastered high-resolution digital files. If you don’t have enough space to set up a proper speaker system, or you want…
