  • Stella Lefty Accused Of Copying A Third Hit Song

    Everyone’s having a great time talking about the funniest new character on the pop landscape. The suddenly omnipresent country-adjacent folk-pop hitmaker Stella Lefty is otherwise known as Stella Lefkofsky, the daughter of Groupon’s billionaire co-founder. That would already been a silly enough backstory, but it gets even goofier when you consider just how often Lefty’s personality-deficient songs seem to be directly lifted from other people’s extremely famous hits.

  • No Middle Ground: AUDREY HORNE Launch Achilles With Its Title Track

    An album concerned with social instability begins with a song about a world divided into opposing camps.

Roaring guitars and a forceful rhythm section drive the song, but its shifting dynamics also […]

  • Read An Exclusive Excerpt From Andrew Sacher’s New Book Emo Revival

    For years, Andrew Sacher served as the resident emo aficionado at BrooklynVegan, shedding light on up-and-coming bands that other sites weren’t covering. He first announced his emo revival book back in 2023, and the anticipation has been ramping up in recent months as the publication date approaches. But just last month BrooklynVegan — along with Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine — were hit with massive layoffs by their parent company Veeps. Sacher will continue championing emerging acts on his Substack, and his book, Emo Revival: Community, DIY, And Rebirth In Post-Hardcore And Emo (2008-2018), hits shelves next week. Below, read an excerpt that centers on Stereogum faves Joyce Manor.

  • EXITIUM SUI – UNRAVELLING

    (Andy Synn has some grim delights to share with us today, from an album set for release tomorrow) The weather here in the UK has recently taken a turn for the worse, shrouding us in a grey cloud of damp and humidity that somehow manages to combine Meditteranean swelter with Scandinavian chill at the same […]

  • From Basement Covers to “Bagienny Stan”: WOLIERA Unveil Their Title Track

    Improvised drums assembled from stools and chairs, a tennis racket used as a microphone and intimate performances in a home basement eventually developed into something far more substantial. Five years after those beginnings, Polish family band WOLIERA are preparing to release their debut album. The record’s title track, “Bagienny Stan,” is now accompanied by an […]

  • The Darkness announce best-of album and tiny London celebration show. “Crock Of Hits will hold you as you tremble. And gently force you to succumb to its aural splendour”

    The Darkness have confirmed that their forthcoming ‘best of’ compilation album Crock Of Hits will be released via Warner Music on November 27. News of the album first broke in May, when the band released their epic theme song for this year’s Masters Of The Universe movie.

    To celebrate the album’s release, Justin Hawkins & Co. will play the Moth Club in East London on September 17. The club has a capacity of just 300, whereas the band’s next scheduled appearance in London will be staged at the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena.

    Pre-sale tickets for the show at the Moth Club will go on sale via Dice at 10am UK time on Tuesday, September 8, with the general sale kicking off 48 hours later.

    “The first rule of Moth Club is, don’t fly into the lightbulb,” says Justin. “Just kidding – nocturnal Lepidoptera rejoice! We’re coming to play at the Moth Club. That thing about burning yourself to a crisp is more of a guideline than a rule, so come celebrate The Darkness on this special night and listen upon our works ye mighty and rejoice!”

    Due to what Dice are describing as “an error”, tickets to the show originally went on sale on Friday, prior to the band’s official announcement. These orders have been cancelled, and purchasers will be refunded.

    Crock Of Hits will be available in four different configurations – single vinyl, double vinyl, single CD and triple CD – with the extended formats containing live tracks, radio sessions, and a new edition of the Masters Of The Universe theme featuring Queen’s Brian May. Full tracklists below.

    “Crock Of Hits will startle you,” proclaims Justin. “Hold you as you tremble. And gently force you to succumb to its aural splendour. A ‘best-of’ curated by us, so you can be certain it’s the bestest of the bestiest. Suck it up, people!”

    The band will promote Crock Of Hits with a UK and Ireland arena tour in December, with support from American country rock band Brothers Osborne and fellow Lowestoft rockers A at the Scottish, English and Welsh shows. Full dates below.
