Swedish band Girl Scout first turned heads with their debut 2023 EP, the soft indie-popish Real Life Human Garbage , following it up just a few months later with Granny Music . In that short time, you could already hear them beginning to dip their toes into heavier sounds.   Their newly released debut record, Brink , lets itself wander further into the murk, though the band retains a distinct ability to explore its human sensitivities, even when it’s happening underneath a no

The Refrigerator sees Ohio rockers Remember Sports trade in some of their 2010’s liveliness for sober clarity over some crisp (albeit mostly familiar) melodies. In contrast with earlier projects such as Sunchokes or Slow Buzz , which carved out a prominent niche for the band in the broader 2010’s indie milieu by stitching together bright-eyed earnestness and frenetic emotion in equal measure, their latest album pulls back the throttle a little, giving us a chance to see som

The California pop punk powerhouse Joyce Manor didn’t leave much to desire after so many iconic records. 40 oz. to Fresno  was a cool experiment into plugging tried and true recording methods with a modern kick. However, the new digs are really something to behold. Instead of pushing for a plug-in primed and polished piece, Joyce Manor pays tribute to each wave of emo music in a rustic, dusted off form. Everything is perfectly meshed into a ball of future nostalgia. Don’t bel

If you were around before South London band Dry Cleaning’s current album cycle, you may remember the cryptic nature of their social media presence, plastered mostly with simple line drawings on plain white backgrounds (drawings at times absent and un-accounted for, leaving only white screen) paired with playfully cloying captions. They’ve swapped these now for the all-too-necessary promotional materials, but the spirit remains, preserved by the occasional reappearance of a de

It’s a fun process to guess and try to geolocate bands based on what they sound like. Don’t attempt this with Recess Party. This Must Be will have you dead wrong about where and what this band comes from in the best way. Fortunately, the UGA alumni (Go Dawgs) and Atlanta band are closer than you think. That’s right. You don't have to drive to Ohio or Indiana to witness the best parts of that sound with an undeniable southern intensity.  Recess Party shot by Rayna Sklar This 6

Dove Ellis currently lives with an air of mystery surrounding him. Prior to September 2025, the 22-year-old Irish singer-songwriter had no releases on major streaming platforms. In fact, the only places you could go to stream his music were Bandcamp, for one demo-filled EP, and Youtube, for any fan-posted videos from small shows in the UK and Ireland. Little is known about him, and that’s how he wants it to be. Ellis has not put up a bio anywhere or ever been interviewed, so

Penelope Road is back with an EP full of heart and pocket. The Atlanta feel-good band has reached a sense of virality with their videos performing in their bedrooms. It’s no surprise that they will be opening for Atlanta soul phenom Teddy Swims on December 11th. The dedication and process to this work yields inevitable successes. It’s an antithesis to their work’s title, Chance Encounter . Inside are four songs diligently devoted to the longing of love that hasn’t happened ye

Time is a funny thing. Maggie Schneider and Alex Downtain watered the musical seeds planted before the pandemic into a strong tree. They occasionally picked the fruit over time, knowing what the Atlanta pop rock duo had to offer. Over the last couple of years, it seems the tree was left to bear the fruit of every facet of their talents. The Art Of Shattering  is a culmination of that photosynthetic growth packed into an undeniable first LP.  Maggie Schneider shot by Hanna Mid

Atlanta rap-rocker outfit Silly Goose isn’t asking for much. They only want the heavyweight title with their LP Keys to the City. The irreverent riff and rhyme masters check in with an intensity that I haven’t seen since Don Broco played Warped in 2018. With the dynamic vocal pushes from frontman Jackson Heaton, it’s a well-rounded compilation of what this band is capable of. 

Be warned, the spit coming off of the songs on I’m Nice Now is liable to hit you through the mesh of whatever sound system you happen to be listening on. Fervent as ever, Upchuck’s latest, caustically named effort is another dose of well-deserved fury from Atlanta’s favorite punk band.  Track one, “Tired,” opens the can of worms on what the record is about: how the world seems to be falling apart at the hands of oppression and inequality everywhere you look, the relentlessnes

“THERE'S A BOMB IN MY CAR." Had these words been uttered by anyone other than Cameron Winter, there would likely be room for alarm, but the Geese frontman is well known for screeching deafening lyrics like these. In Getting Killed, Geese delivers absurdly enchanting lyrics and bombastic instrumentation with sincerity. It is a record measured in its zaniness and uncompromising in its need to be genuine and singular.

Force , the debut EP from Melissa Chilson aka Melissuh, is a prism carefully etched and inscribed with somber poems we’re invited to trace with our fingers as we rotate it in our hands. And in a remarkable 17-minute runtime she manages to use it as a refracting device for absolute loss, the borders of identity, and the sense that these things can be transcended. The total effect is something ghostly and innocently hopeful, like a conversation with an inner child.  Because of
