Scorpion Child - "I Saw The End As It Passed Right Through" [Milky Clear LP] "Digging confidently into metallic ground, the band blasts out headbanging boogie, psychedelic aggression and horns-throwing anthemry without breaking a sweat. Scorpion Child seems determined to bend the past to it's will, rather than be ruled by it" - Austin Chronicle
Lukas Nelson came of age in the dives and diners of this country and his itinerant life showed him America as few others get to see it. Nelson ponders his relationship with the country with all it's joy and heartbreak on American Romance, his first solo album and first under Sony Music Nashville. - Recorded by Grammy Award-winning producer Shooter Jennings, it shows the singer-songwriter expanding his sound while doubling down on the fundamentals of his artistry. "It's been a long and inspiring journey in the band," he says. "This is an opportunity to experiment with some new colors in the palette." - American Romance brings out those new colors in dazzling fashion, demonstrating Nelson to be a singer-songwriter of uncommon dexterity. He's just as likely to wrestle with heady existential matters as he is to lament his losses, and he's steeped in tradition without being strictly bound to it. Much like the land that provided it's name, American Romance is a novelistic album teeming with great complexity and beauty that plays out like a series of chapters from his life.

His brand new album American Heart builds upon that success and expands his sonic landscape, creating a project that feels both larger-than-life and sincere at its core. Boasting lead single "Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else" in addition to standout tracks like "Mystical Magical," "I Wanna Be The One You Call," "Young American Heart," and the deeply personal "Momma Song," American Heart sees Benson hone in on compelling narratives and a rock-tinged, 70s pop sound that delivers a sense of nostalgia while feeling fresh and inventive.

Hot Milk have announced their sophomore album Corporation P.O.P is set for release on June 27th 2025 with the rebel-rowsing single "90 Seconds To Midnight," with a video featuring British legend Frank Skinner out now. The album was written and recorded both in their Salford flat and a live room in LA, producing songs that capture that live energy they are known for, with new tracks are poised for stages the world over.
Known as the dynamic, gospel church-bred, lap steel player fronting the Family Band, Robert Randolph establishes himself as a seasoned artist with his debut solo album, Preacher Kids, on Sun Records.

Produced by Shooter Jennings (Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker), the album was recorded between Sunset Sound Studios in LA and Zac Brown's Southern Ground Studios in Nashville.
Late Night Drive Home have never known a world without Wifi - without access to the endless stream of joy, sorrow, heartbreak, and hope that we all tune in and tune out to on the daily. In many ways, the guys can't really extricate themselves from that reality - even their band name comes from a random Wikipedia page - but they're trying to at least grapple with it. "Most of us grew up on the internet with unsupervised access at a very young age," says singer Andre Portillo. "As we started foreseeing all the outcomes - both good and bad - of this kind of access and advancement, we started writing... forming a sound and message that would become our next record." The culmination of that, then, is the buoyant yet ominous as I watch my life online, the band's debut album. Late Night Drive Home was born in El Paso, Texas, and Chaparral, New Mexico, hardworking communities where folks built their houses by hand and collars were mostly blue. Comprising guitarist Juan "Ockz" Vargas, singer Andre Portillo, drummer Brian Dolan, and bassist Freddy Baca, the entirely self-taught quartet released their first digital EP as a full band, 2021's Am I sinking or Am I swimming?, and blew up with the single "Stress Relief," a blast of early-Aughts indie that racked in tens of millions of streams. After they signed with Epitaph Records in 2023 - and releasing 2024's grunge-inspired 3 song EP i'll remember you for the same feeling you gave me as i slept - they found themselves playing stages their indie idols previously shredded: Coachella, Shaky Knees, Austin City Limits, and Kilby Block Party. Since the end of the pandemic, though, the band had been dreaming up as i watch my life online. "I started thinking about the time after the pandemic and how much things were changing," says Vargas. "So the whole album is a critique of social media and the way we use the internet to distance ourselves from each other." The resulting suite of tracks is a series of online vignettes that hammers home the band's message: the photos on your phone shouldn't be your identity; your posts aren't your inner monologue. A bigger life is lived where there's no service - in your hometown on a late night road with your friends, and on stage, where the band finally found their destination after that long drive.

Featuring 82 previously unreleased songs, Tracks II: The Lost Albums fill in chapters of Springsteen's expansive career timeline, while offering invaluable insight into his life and work as an artist. "The Lost Albums were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released," said Springsteen. "I've played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. I'm glad you'll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them."

Tracks II: The Lost Albums is available in limited-edition nine-LP and seven-CD formats, including original packaging for each previously unreleased record, with a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring rare archival photos, liner notes on each lost album from essayist Erik Flannigan and a personal introduction on the project from Springsteen himself.

I'm glad you'll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them." Journey through Springsteen's sonic evolution, from the raw, lo-fi LA Garage Sessions '83 that bridges Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A., to the innovative drum loops and synthesizers of Streets of Philadelphia Sessions. This collection spans 35 prolific years of Springsteen's songwriting and home recording experiments. "The ability to record at home whenever I wanted allowed me to go into a wide variety of different musical directions," Springsteen explains. The compilation showcases his versatility across genres: unreleased film soundtrack work from Faithless, soulful country arrangements with pedal steel from Somewhere North of Nashville, richly textured border tales from Inyo, orchestral mid-century noir from Twilight Hours, and signature E Street rock from Perfect World.

"The band were pivotal for me in terms of my own musical journey, in that they represented a gateway back into indie guitar music, which I'd basically given up since becoming obsessed with rave and acid house. Everyone should have the Beta Band albums and EPs in their collection. It still kind of annoys me - in fact, it bugs the shit out of me - that most of them don't." - Irvine Welsh.

From the depths of personal reckoning to the forefront of the UK's alternative scene, Split Chain have spent the past two years transmuting raw emotion into sound. Their debut album, motionblur, out soon on Epitaph Records, is a thunderous statement of intent-an electrifying fusion of shoegaze, grunge, and nu-metal that surges with both nostalgia and forward momentum.Sonically, motionblur captures a distinctive aesthetic, steeped in the melancholic haze of early 2000s alt-rock yet sharpened by the intensity of modern hardcore. Guitars drenched in chorus and distortion crash into ethereal, hook-laden vocals, forging a sound that's at once crushingly heavy and deeply immersive.Following a string of self-released singles that organically amassed millions of streams, Split Chain's signing with Epitaph catapulted them further into the spotlight. Their first label-backed single pushed their streaming numbers past the 15-million mark, earning them accolades as AltPress' Breakout Artist of the Month and Revolver's 'Badass Rising Band to Know.' With nods from Stereogum, The Needle Drop, BrooklynVegan, and Metal Injection, the buzz around Split Chain is undeniable.With motionblur, Split Chain aren't just making an album-they're making a moment.

Joined by Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobaraki, Wet Leg has spent the past few years on the road, evolving into a feral, electrifying live force.

Isolated in a remote house in the countryside, moisturizer was written in a creative frenzy, diving into themes of obsession and all-consuming love.

in London, family and sense of everyone being in a congregation-like audience, and us being the musicians”.
Three years on from their debut album, Could We Be More, which peaked at No.30 on the UK Albums Chart and received widespread critical acclaim, Tuff Times Never Last sees the London band with careless abandon expand their wide-ranging palette and influences.
While the Afrobeat jazz of their previous work is still a core part of the record’s sonic design, the new album largely pulls from British R&B from the 80s, neo-soul, West African disco, bossa nova, lovers rock
and funk. Sonically taking cues from the likes of Loose Ends, Don Blackman, Common, Sly & Robbie, William Onyeabor, Patrice Rushen, and Cymande. Throughout this instinctive evolution, the septet’s seasoned musicianship preserves the essence of who Kokoroko are as masterful jazz artisans.

GREER are back!After a two-year hiatus from recording, the OC based band reconvened in 2023, returning to where it all started: drummer Lucas Ovalle's garage. It was in this familiar environment that Ovalle, guitarist lead singer Josiah, guitarist Corbin Jacques, and bassist Seth Thomson learned how to be friends again and shared all the anxieties and revelations they'd endured on hiatus through crafting songs.

It's the sound of friends rediscovering each other and the magic that they can create together when they embrace each other's vulnerable side. With Big Smile, Greer has arrived as a serious, and seriously fun, alt rock band with diversity of sound and unity of vision.
