    The first Piebald album in almost twenty years is a plea for kindness, connection, and humanity. It's also funny as fuck, filled with riffs and lyrics that have been expertly cultivated since the band's reunion in 2016. A relieving return.

    “Waiting Room,” the @phoebe_bridgers fan favorite off a 2015 compilation, has been removed from streaming services. People are understandably upset, but this is also symptomatic of a bigger problem with the streaming model. swimintothesound.com/blog/2023/1/26…

    If you’re in a band, don’t be afraid to promote your work repeatedly. Share a Spotify link every day. Spam your Bandcamp page. Celebrate every play count milestone. You made that shit and you should be proud of it.

    When it comes to bridges, nobody is doing it quite like @osoosoband. A celebration of one of the most indispensable songwriters in the game.

    Sure, Jack White can write a killer riff, but how’s his guac game? We tried the guacamole recipe found in Jack White’s rider, because of course we had to.

    Any genre can be overwhelming to keep up with, but the emo/punk/DIY space is a constantly exciting swirl of riffs, silly song titles, and the occasional puff of weed smoke. Here’s a retrospective 2023 scene report and playlist with 2.5 days of emo for ya.

    Don’t fuck him on this one. @jimmymontague69’s third LP is a free-wheeling rock n roll album with a deeper undercurrent than its 70s retro stylings initially let on. Guest writer @dumpsterbassist reviews Montague’s latest.
