In the '00s and '10s, the Louisville power trio Coliseum built up a monstrous sound that fused hardcore, metal, and post-punk into something uniquely powerful. Coliseum went on hiatus after the release of their 2015 album , and the band's members went on to make music with Fotocrime, Yautja, and Null. Last year, however, Coliseum made an unexpected return, releasing the surprise album under the band name C.L.S.M. This weekend, they'll play their first shows in nine years . And today, they've got a new song out under their old Coliseum name.

The second of this year's two Coachella weekends will kick off in a couple of days, and as usual, there have been some last-minute changes to the schedule. This time around, the festival's organizers didn't have to do pull any dramatic 11th-hour switch-ups, as they did last year when Frank Ocean cancelled his weekend-two headlining set. But we do have one big star being thrown on as a last-minute addition: Kid Cudi.

Maggie Rogers was catapulted to viral fame a few years ago, but she’s now a fully seasoned performer who comes off like a total pro when she’s performing. She sounds smooth and clean, but not to the point where she seems too polished. In recent months, Rogers has popped up onstage with people like Zach Bryan, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, and Animal from The Muppets. This summer, she’ll embark on her first-ever arena tour. Last night, she was the musical guest on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show.

The fiery and uncompromising Montreal rapper and producer Backxwash won the Polaris Prize a few years ago — a rare feat for a DIY artist who makes challenging music — and she released her most recent album in 2022. Today, she's back with the new single “Wake Up,” and it's a total scorching epic.

Wilkes-Barre straight-edgers One Step Closer recently wrapped up their triple-headliner tour with melodic hardcore kindred spirits Koyo and Anxious, and now they’re one step closer (sorry) to releasing their sophomore album All You Embrace. We’ve already posted the early singles “Leap Years” and “Giant’s Despair,” and now they’ve got another song for us.

Modern Color come from Redondo Beach, California, and they’ve mastered the kind of woozy, romantic combination of shoegaze and post-hardcore that’s been all the rage in the last few years. Their Spotify numbers are impressive, but Modern Color continue to operate, pretty much, as an underground band. They’re about to head out on tour with Fleshwater, and drummer Vince Nguyen also plays guitar in Militarie Gun. Today, they’ve announced a new album called There Goes The Dream, set to come out this summer.

The adventurous UK producer and former PC Music ringleader A. G. Cook is getting ready to release Britpop , a new three-part album with some serious lore behind it. Thus far, Cook has shared “ Silver Thread Golden Needle ” and the title track , which features Cook's frequent collaborator Charli XCX. (Cook also worked on Charli's recent singles “Club Classics” and “B2B.”) Now, Cook has also dropped the new track “Soulbreaker” on us.

Joe Agius, the Australian musician who records under the name Rinse, happens to be married to Harriette Pilbeam, the indie-pop star known as Hatchie. Rinse and Hatchie have worked together a bunch over the years, and Hatchie has appeared on some of Rinse's past singles, like 2020's “ Back Into Your Arms ” and “ Does It Feel Like Heaven? ,” which just came out a few weeks ago. Now, they've got another one.

I don't know about you, but Hana Vu's got a new song called “22,” and everything will be all right if you keep it next to yoouuu . Look. What do you want from me? There's a new Taylor Swift album coming out in two days , and I'm going to have to review it right away because that's how online music criticism works. It's fine. I'm used to it. I'm a tortured critic, and perhaps there should be some kind of department for me. But if Hana Vu's team did not want me to throw a bunch of Taylor Swift references into this blog post, then they should've picked a different day to drop a new song called “22.”
