Van Chamberlain turn up the volume on Fantasy TBD, delivering a cathartic and hook-driven indie rock track packed with saturated guitars, driving drums, and a restless sense of release. The song channels the frustration of breaking away from an unhealthy attachment, balancing sharp lyrical imagery with an empowering sense of independence. Its production deliberately embraces distortion and raw energy, giving the track a beautifully unrestrained character that matches its emotional theme. Beneath the noise, strong melodies and memorable songwriting keep everything focused. Loud, urgent, and emotionally liberating, Fantasy TBD captures the exhilaration of finally letting go and moving forward.
Here at Stereogum, we’ve been very into pretty much everything we’ve heard from Jawdropped, the ragged young power-pop band from Los Angeles. They’ll release their full-length debut Secret To Spare next month, and the singles “Monday” and “Split Lip” are both keepers. The same is true of “Cup,” the new song that they’ve got out today.
Sadurn came back into our orbit this summer with “Whole Thing,” the lead single from their forthcoming album The Underworld. Our next preview of the album arrives today in the form of “Never Tell Me,” a song that may well be familiar to this band’s biggest fans. Sadurn mastermind G DeGroot says they’ve been closing their shows with the six-minute indie-folk power ballad since even before the release of their 2022 debut Radiator:

The highly-anticipated documentary Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear has arrived for streaming today – just a couple of months after it debuted at the Tribeca Festival in New York City.
The Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer-directed 90-minute film is available to watch on Disney+ and Hulu and chronicles the talented Blink-182 drummer’s life before he joined the band, his incredible rise to fame and his brutal recovery after the 2008 South Carolina plane crash that claimed the life of four of the six passengers onboard.
In the film, Barker says: “Why am I here when everyone else isn’t? I had to ask myself who I was going to be after this accident. I had this burning desire to become the greatest person and father I could be. Knowing how close I got to not being here, my appreciation for life is something I can’t even explain.”

Need to know
Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear features interviews with Barker, alongside artists including Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee and late Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins.
The film is described as a “raw and redemptive journey” with a press release adding: “Once a trash collector in Laguna Beach, his life changed when he stepped in as a replacement for Blink-182’s drummer – igniting a meteoric rise that would make him the driving pulse of a generation.
“Yet beneath the spectacle of fame, the film reveals a complex man battling pain, grief and the thin line between survival and surrender.
It continues: “Featuring appearances from collaborators, cultural icons and those closest to him, this is the story of the man behind the tattoos and a tribute to those who keep going when the music almost stops.”

Disney+ is one of the many TV and film streaming services available, but while I’d like to see more music-related content, there’s still plenty to get excited about.
The service is home to the likes of Peter Jackson’s Beatles doc Let It Be, and the three-part series Get Back. Other musical highlights include Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, Summer ’82: When Zappa Came To Sicily, Abbey Road: If These Walls Could Sing, Hip-Hop And The White House, and the 2024 biopic The Beach Boys.
For me, the real draw of Disney+ and the reason I’ve had a subscription for years is that it’s home to the entire Star Wars universe – all the classic movies are here, alongside spin-offs such as The Mandalorian, Andor, The Book Of Boba Fett and The Clone Wars animated series. There’s even an option to watch everything in timeline order.
Marvel content is another draw, and like the Star Wars content, it’s crammed with flicks, series and shorts – and the ability to binge on the entire MCU complete timeline.
There’s also all the classic Pixar movies and shorts, the National Geographic Channel, and the Hulu network (featuring the excellent comedy crime drama Only Murders In The Building starring Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short.
East of West bring a vibrant blend of Balkan and Mediterranean influences to Gathering, an instrumental piece shaped by rich traditional rhythms, warm acoustic textures, and a strong sense of communal spirit. Inspired by a spontaneous family gathering, the track carries an unmistakable feeling of movement, celebration, and connection. Double bass, oud, and hand percussion interact naturally, while subtle jazz elements and improvisational passages add depth and spontaneity to the arrangement. Lively yet deeply rooted, Gathering feels like a musical celebration of place, family, memory, and shared experience, capturing the warmth of human connection through an expressive world-music sound.
Ryan Hemsworth loves to collaborate. Even his last solo album, 2018’s Elsewhere, had a myriad of guests. Since then, he’s worked with Tinashe, Dazy, Avery Springer, Snow Ellet, Shalom, Yurufuwa Gang, and more, and his project Bodysync with Giraffage has been very active. If that’s not enough, he’s currently a part of Gia Margaret’s live band. But now he’s back to announce a new solo album called Numbskull, and it features Tegan And Sara, MSPAINT, Illuminati Hotties’ Sarah Tudzin, and more.
Logic1000 and Jam City are two forward-thinking dance producers with a taste for collaboration, so it makes sense that they would link up. The Australian-born, Berlin-based Logic1000 will release her new album Confirmation! this fall, and it’s got contributions from people like Christine And The Queens, yunè pinku, FAUZIA, and Tiffi M; we’ve already posted the Kučka collab “All In For You.” Londoner Jam City, meanwhile, will release his own album My World next week, and the title track features Aidan, Bawo, and Ox Eye. Today, we hear what happens when Logic1000 and Jam City team up.
Build Art Make Change (BAMC) have announced Contra-ICE Vol. 1: ICE OUT, a benefit compilation featuring Tom Morello, Fred Armisen, Fishbone, David J, Jello Biafra, Ozomatli, and more. Today, the nonprofit organization is sharing the lead single, which is a Justin Bieber cover by Kathleen Hanna and Ad-Rock.
