“‘Otherside,’ at its root, was inspired by the book Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, but it is also a commentary on the current political climate. The book deals a lot with the concept of fate, most notably in its famous repeating line, ‘So it goes.’”

New York City–based trio A Deer A Horse sit musically somewhere between the Melvins, Helms Alee, Red Fang and Sleater-Kinney, combining guitar fireworks with striking melodic vocals in a way that’s spirited and muscular. Their latest single, “Smokejumper,” is a perfect example of the band’s approach — strong songwriting and hooky melodies never get in the way of the riff, which reigns supreme throughout.

Blending the frantic rush of crude rock ‘n’ roll with a lethal dose of 60s garage-band panache and an obvious love of ghoulish b-movies and dd-porn flixxx, Austin crypt keepers Teenage Cavegirl are set to self-release their debut album on June 1.

Coming straight from rock ‘n’ roll megacity, Austin, Texas, Teenage Cavegirl, comprised of L.A. (vocals, drums) and Andy Ray (guitar), deliver an uncomplicated, straightforward garage rock sound full of grabbing immediacy and trash pop aesthetics.

when done correctly, generating publicity is easy. But boy, there are a lot of ways to turd up the works, and there are lots of mysteries surrounding publicity: what the hell is a publicist, and what can I, a creator of things, do with one? Hopefully the following tips will help.

Portia and Ellen gave me hope that I may be able to be public and proud one day, and that other LGBTQ+ couples were now being public and somewhat accepted.

It’s 4/20, and Brooklyn-based trans rapper Uncle Meg’s got the perfect video you can ride out your high with. His single “Verde” is a bop with a danceable beat, and the video is a seriously trippy journey. From rollerblading martians to a slimy green feast, its all just about random-ass fun.

Enter Berlin Taxi: the latest make and model from native New Orleans musician Michael Arruebarrena. Upon recently joining forces with fellow rad racers Morgan McManus and Greg Manson, the trio have embarked upon a new EP entitled CONTRACT.

Between Billie Eilish, the new Palehound song, the Sky Ferreira comeback single, and Foie Gras’s “Psychic Sobriety,” 2019 is shaping up to be the year of the Girl Creep: a gender archetype defined by excessive feminine desire, scheming, and menace. “I’m a bad lay, but I want you/I want you to choke me until you love me,” this latest installment begins, a great couplet that only gets better as the song progresses. “I’m a bad lay, but I’ll keep you safe/In my ashtray,” she continues, a pair of lines that kicks me back to Placebo at their acid glam heyday. No, I will not perform well, but yes, I will get what I want, and God help the one who tries to stop me.

After announcing the follow-up to his 2016 LP Bug with a cover of Yung Lean’s “Yoshi City,” Uncle Meg is sharing the first single from his forthcoming Butterfly EP on World Bipolar Day. This is not a coincidence—immediately after releasing Bug, Meg changed his gender pronouns and began medical transition, resulting in a confusing few years for the young rapper. “Take Me Away” directly addresses this transition and the effect it had on his mental health, despite the track’s smooth beat and its video’s warm cinematography.
