Watch “Lunar Degenerates” HERE! https://youtu.be/qpiheAsPgTk

Heavy, atmospheric, and built for maximum neck damage, SEA SLEEPER return with their new single, “Lunar Degenerates,” the latest preview of their forthcoming sophomore album, Burden of Antlers, set for release on September 18, 2026.

“Lunar Degenerates” captures the band at their most visceral and dynamic, fusing classic crunchy, bang-your-head riffage with the expansive progressive weight that has become a defining part of SEA SLEEPER’s sound. The track also leans into the band’s long-running Mastodon influence, particularly the Crack the Skye-esque textures that have surfaced across both of their albums.

The band calls “Lunar Degenerates” “easily the funnest song on the record to play,” pointing to its high-energy riffs, shifting atmosphere, and explosive return from an ambient passage back into the main riff as one of the song’s standout moments.

With its mix of brute force, spacey atmosphere, and locked-in rhythmic power, “Lunar Degenerates” offers another glimpse into the world of Burden of Antlers, an album that promises to expand SEA SLEEPER’s sonic range, while staying rooted in the crushing, riff-forward heaviness that first defined them.

1. Machines of the Bombing Run 
2. Manifestor 
3. Lunar Degenerates 
4. Abysmal Trench

Did you know that the James Beard Awards, the vaunted chef/restaurant distinction that gets mentioned on shows like Top Chef a lot, have an actual award show? Maybe you did know that. Maybe that’s common knowledge, and I’m the idiot just obliviously dumping Nerds Clusters into my open face while everyone else is on a journey of culinary discovery. In any case, “the Oscars of the food world” went down Monday night in Chicago, and Run The Jewels presented the Best Bartender award.

All Points East have announced their partnership with Victoria Park Football Club, unveiling the local team’s brand-new kit.

The award-winning festival have been revealed as the latest sponsor for the team, continuing their long-standing commitment to supporting the community within the East London area in which they are based.

On the exciting news, Matty Walsh, Captain of Victoria Park Football Club has shared:

“Pre-season starts for us at Victoria Park every summer twice a week in between games of cricket, often with the All Points East stages being set up as the backdrop. Having moved to East London in 2021, Victoria Park Football Club is my strongest link to the area, so it’s great to see the festival support a local community club with much needed new kits. With so many of the squad living locally there’s always a number of us at All Points East every year, so it’s cool to now have such an East London cultural institution on the shirt.”

Check out those incredible new shirts via the kit reveal video below.

”All Points East has always been rooted in East London, and we’re proud to champion the community beyond music. Supporting Victoria Park Football Club reflects our love for the park and the people who use it every day—whether that’s for live music, local sport, or simply coming together.”

The New England trio Perennial have an incredibly distinctive audio-visual aesthetic. All three members tend to wear striped T-shirts designed to evoke the 1960s mod era, a historical moment that also informs their party-starting punk rock. Their live show is contagiously fun, and their records kick ass.

Motionless In White have given us another taste of their upcoming album, and it finds them in their most soaring and epic form.

Titled ‘R.I.P.’, it’s a gorgeously gothic cut that comes with some powerful guest vocals from Skylar Grey.

It’s the third track we’ve heard from the band’s upcoming album ‘Decades’ – following the triumphant ‘Afraid Of The Dark‘ and their huge collaboration with Corey Taylor on ‘Playing God’ – which is set to arrive on July 17 via Roadrunner Records.

Speaking on ‘R.I.P.’, Chris Motionless has said:

“Skylar’s voice brought it to another level that I never could have achieved on my own. I really love the lyrics for this song. Even though I wrote it through a romantic lens, I love that it can be applied to any moment in your life when you’ve had a falling out with someone you deeply care about, whether that’s a best friend, family member, or romantic partner.

“The song really hones in on the deafening silence that follows after you’ve said hurtful things to one another that you wish you could take back. It’s meant to capture the tension that exists in that quiet space of separation. You want to apologize and make things right, but you don’t know how. You want to tell them you love them more than anything and can’t live without them, but there’s a lot of pain on both sides that has to be confronted first. All the while, you’re left with the crippling uncertainty of whether the relationship can ever recover and move forward, or if it’s destined to be laid to rest and gone forever.”

Take a listen below via the track’s stunning music video – directed by Jensen Noen – below.

Chris has also opened up about the process of creating their latest album, and the next era of Motionless In White:

“We were never afraid to take risks. This band has not only lasted two decades, but we’ve also outlasted all of the obstacles we’ve faced. We’re still grinding. No matter how far we expand the universe that is Motionless In White, we’re going to preserve the heart, soul, and roots of where we came from. We are never going to abandon heartfelt, emotional, and heavy songs. We are never going to abandon what mattered to us the most when we started. We’re finding new ways to emphasize those stories with exciting sounds and looks, but the vision is the same. It’s always been this grand, dramatic, and theatrical entity. I’m proud we haven’t gotten comfortable.”

Sabrina Fuentes started Pretty Sick as a rowdy grunge project, but it’s constantly reinventing itself. Last year’s Streetwise EP abounded with clubby sensibilities, and December’s one-off single “Star” leaned into electronic mayhem. Now she’s announcing her third album Anarchy, arriving this fall.
