The eventful US portion of Hayley Williams’ first-ever solo tour has come to a close. Over the past week, the Paramore singer wrapped up her Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party tour with three headline shows at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, bringing out a bunch of special guests: On Tuesday, she brought out Jay…

Smirk is the project of Nick Vicario, a Los Angeles musician who’s been making retro-filtered punk rock for quite a while now with albums like 2021’s LP and 2022’s Material. The current live iteration of the band features members of Hotline TNT, Poison Ruin, and Pardoner, but Vicario is Smirk’s sole songwriter. Today he’s announced…

We haven’t heard from Liquid Mike since Hell Is An Airport, their banger of an album, arrived last September. That’s not that long of a break, but the Michigan band is known for cranking out ultra-catchy, caffeinated rock anthems on short turnaround. Today, the drought ends with “Drowning Machine,” Liquid Mike’s new single. Its lyrics…

It might only be May, but that doesn't mean we can't be thinking about John Carpenter. Today, the Halloween multihyphenate has announced his first-ever graphic novel Cathedral , which will arrive this August alongside a soundtrack of the same title.

Aleshea Harris initially wrote IS GOD IS as a stage play that premiered in 2018. Since then, it's been adapted into her feature directorial debut, which premiered last Friday.

Following a special one-off Manchester gig in March, Harry Styles has officially commenced his tour in support of his recent album . So far he's played two nights in Amsterdam, with setlists that include almost all of his new songs, a decent selection of his old songs, and little nods to Talking Heads, Underworld, and Paul Simon. But the setlist isn't what's been getting people talking about Styles' tour; his stage setup is.

Thirteen years ago, a Houston punk band called Live Without posted up in a certain diner chain to ask one question that still pops into my head more often that I care to admit: "What the fuck is up, Denny's?!" Now, in celebration of that anniversary — should Stereogum be posting anniversary essays when albums turn 13? — Denny's has partnered up with Live Without for a new, limited-time delicacy they're calling the Mozz Pit Burger.

This year marks 30 years since Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton released their debut single as Arab Strap. The Scottish rockers have put out two albums since ending their 16-year hiatus in 2021 — and the memorably-titled — and now they've got another one on the way. Half-Told Tales arrives this September, and along with today's announcement comes lead single "You You You."

We named Westside Cowboy one of the Best New Artists Of 2025 , not long after the Manchester seven-piece released their debut EP and just before they released their second EP . Their hot streak continues with today's announcement of Westside Cowboy's debut album It Goes On , which they're teasing with the lead single "Kick Stones (The Boys)."

Last September, Los Angeleno singer-songwriter-producer Jordan Patterson shared her debut album The Hermit, a solid introduction to her soulful folk-pop. Evidently, that album caught the ears of Secretly Canadian, who are releasing Patterson’s newly announced follow-up EP Songs From A Valley Girl. Its lead single “Just My Friend” is out today, a vivid, upbeat piano…
