Croon’s 1996 demo #1 is a strange, melodic death metal gem from Finland that survives with almost no history.

Tomahawk Return, Announce First Live Shows In 13 Years
Back in 1999, Faith No More/Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton started the noise-rock supergroup Tomahawk with the Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison, Melvins/Cows bassist Kevin Rutmanis, and John Stanier, the absolute beast of a drummer who’d already been in Helmet and who would later join Battles. Tomahawk have been intermittently active since then, though Rutmanis was eventually replaced by longtime Patton collaborator Trevor Dunn. Tomahawk haven’t played live since 2013, but they’ll head out on a North American tour this summer.

Spiritbox’s ascent has been built on a constant drive to push genre boundaries without compromising their metal roots. Anchored by big riffs, explosive dynamics, and pulsating rhythms, their sound is elevated by the soaring vocal power and commanding presence of Courtney LaPlante (vocals), alongside Mike Stringer (guitar), Zev Rose (drums) and Josh Gilbert (bass).

The Closest Miles Davis Ever Came To Playing Free Jazz
Miles Davis was born in Alton, Illinois on May 26, 1926, and the Miles Davis estate and Sony Music — and probably to a lesser degree Warner Bros., which owns his last few releases — are celebrating the legendary trumpeter’s centennial this year. I fully expect to see a ton of reissues, and possibly some new vault material, all year long. (It’s John Coltrane’s centennial, too – he was born September 23, 1926 in Hamlet, North Carolina – and there’s a whole lot going on with his estate and archives as well.)

Population II Announce New EP Gimmicks: Hear “Magouilleux”
I was mightily impressed by Maintenant Jamais, last year’s album from francophone Montreal psych band Population II. They’re following it up this April with a new EP, Gimmicks. Lead single “Magouilleux” sits in the middle of the five-song tracklist, and it makes for a sprawling centerfold. Powered by bleary keyboards and propulsive bass, the track…
