KATSEYE, the global girl group launched by HYBE x Geffen, are in an interesting spot. This year has been their biggest yet, with their first Grammy nominations, landmark live performances and a sold-out tour on the horizon. But between the achievements, there’s also been strife – member Manon has been on a much-talked-about hiatus since February, while leader Sophia announced last week she was also taking a break to focus on her mental health. ‘Wild’, the group’s third EP, is similarly conflicted. At this point, it should be a release that solidifies KATSEYE’s sound and direction ahead of an eventual…

Weezer guitarist Brian Bell has confirmed that the band’s movie is “in the can” and will be arriving next year. The as-yet-untitled film was announced by the band during their appearance at last year’s Coachella, with Rivers Cuomo telling the crowd: “We’ve been busy making the Weezer movie back in LA the last couple weeks”. The frontman later suggested Jack Black would be involved, although this would later be denied by a spokesperson for the band. Shortly after the announcement, a reported stated that Keanu Reeves would be the villain of the movie, which was described as a cross between…

Jorja Smith has never been afraid to be noisy. Among sombre and sobering offerings lie the exhilarating, elastic segments of the 29-year-old Walsall native’s discography; the pulse of the two-step-infused ‘On My Mind’, the clubby ‘Little Things’ or the alt-leaning ‘Go Go Go’. Smith is as much R&B as she is house, an equilibrium of sorts – once she acquaints herself with a genre, she’s able to contort it to her will, translating it to her audience in a hue that makes sense to her. On ‘What Are The Odds’, however, the singer-songwriter clearly wants to dance. What happens when…

Keanu Reeves brought his band Dogstar to The Tonight Show to perform their anthemic song “Joy.” The group, which also includes Bret Domrose and Robert Mailhouse, offered a moody rendition of the rock number, off their 2026 LP All in Now. All In Now, released in May, marked the group’s second LP since reforming in 2023 after a two-decade break. Reeves and his Dogstar bandmates reunited in 2023 for their first shows since 2002, which they quickly followed up with Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, their first new album since 2000’s Happy Ending. Although Reeves is still focused on his acting career, he…

The girl group’s new five-song EP, Wild, is out now Katseye shared a music video for their new song, “Hootie Frutti.” The track comes off the group’s EP, Wild, which is out today. The video, directed by Alfred Marroquin, showcases underground Brazilian party led by Katseye. It features a raucous Latin beat alongside equally raucous dance choreography, with the singers clad in vibrant, colorful ensembles. Water eventually rains from the ceiling, dousing the still-dancing group members. Katseye’s EP features five tracks, including “Animal,” which they performed earlier this week on The Tonight Show. The release marks the group’s first recording…

Ever since their triumph at Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition in April 2025, you’ll have struggled to find a buzzier British guitar band than Westside Cowboy. Packing out multiple sets at The Great Escape 2025, the Manchester-formed group were soon tied down to Island Records, Wildlife Entertainment (Arctic Monkeys, Fontaines D.C.) for management and thrown into tours with Black Country, New Road, Blondshell and Geese. Suitably, the former NME Cover stars’ self-proclaimed ‘Britainicana’ sound feels neatly perched between those three artists. What arguably makes the quartet’s bog-standard concoction of bass, drums and guitars so heartfelt and immediate is their chemistry. Somewhere…

Orville Peck shared a new single, “Already Gone.” The song comes off his forthcoming album, Mule, out Sept. 18 via Warner Records. “Already Gone” was produced by Jay Joyce and written by Peck with Jacob Portrait. It features Peck’s five-piece band playing alongside Molly Tuttle, Ketch Secor, and Ry Jennings. The song describes Peck’s journey through addiction and recovery, the centerpiece of the LP. “‘Already Gone’ lands early in the album’s story, when I first entered the rehab facility,” Peck explained in a statement. “I accepted the decision to seek treatment but deep down I believed I didn’t have a…

Girl Talk has always seemed interested in a sort of alchemy from behind the boards. The Pittsburgh-raised producer’s ability to splice samples at the speed of firing elections created his own hyperactive dance-music substance, turning him into a sort of Oppenheimer figure of the 2010s mash-up DJ scene. A similar mind for synthesis exists within Michael Christmas and Chris Crack, the pair of MCs that joined together to complete Girl Talk’s latest project, Don’t Come to My House Sharing Your Location. Comedy and dry wit are part of both the Boston and Chicago rappers’ bags, providing a cover for sensitivity…

Even before he reportedly pulled a gun on the band who had hired him, the very concept of pop-opera madman producer Phil Spector working with the Ramones—a gloriously threadbare band by design—might have felt like a mismatch. Following the alleged stick-up, the fruit of their union arrived in the form of 1980’s End of the Century, a record that works by the skin of its teeth by pulling each instrument apart in the mix and layering each sound until the music towers over the band itself.Kansas-by-way-of-Boston punks Caufield Schnug and Lira Mondal, who play together as Sweeping Promises, are more…
