    • Baby Keem "Ca$ino" Album Review | HotNewHipHop
      • Baby Keem’s "Ca$ino" peels back layers of personal trauma and family history, while finding pop potential across a varied but focused album.
    • Album review: Sylosis – The New Flesh | Kerrang!
      • Recalibrated, re-energised, and ripping it up, Sylosis go for a (slightly) more straightforward punch and deliver a knockout on explosive seventh album,…
    • Megan Moroney – Cloud 9 | EUPHORIA. | Feb. 25, 2026, 5:45 p.m.
      • Megan Moroney's "Cloud 9" is made up of mellow instrumentals wrapped up in the arms of self-reflective lyrics.
    • Five Questions With Ratboys | Magnet Magazine | Feb. 25, 2026, 10 a.m.
      • Turns out Chris Walla’s subversive pop instincts are a perfect match for Ratboys’ delicate fury—and the initial result was The Window, one of the best indie-rock efforts of 2023. The seasoned Chicago quartet went with their gut and retained Walla for Singin’ To An Empty Chair. Ratboys’ sixth studio album and first for the New West label is a razor-focused, filler-free representation of a band in peak form. Though the group’s creative fulcrum has always been singer/guitarist Julia Steiner and guitarist Dave Sagan, the 2020 acquisition of bassist Sean Neumann and drummer Marcus Nuccio shouldn’t be underestimated. Six years later, Nuccio’s exceptional playing is a crucial driver of the band’s all-important loud/soft dynamic.
    • HANA – HANA - FEMMUSIC Magazine | FEMMUSIC.com | Feb. 23, 2026, 7:20 p.m.
      • Rising global Japanese girl-group HANA fully blooms with their self-titled debut album, HANA, out now via No Label Music/Sony Music Japan.
    • Sylosis- The New Flesh | The Jaily Review | Feb. 23, 2026, 4:09 p.m.
      • The story of UK metal outfit Sylosis is one told in two acts: even given the transition from blistering progressive thrash (as we saw on 2011’s ‘Edge of the Earth’ and 2012’s ‘Monolith’) to slower, groovier material (which 2015’s ‘Dormant Heart’ wholly embraced), the full-on modern metalcore that consumed comeback record ‘Cycle of Suffering’ was a shock to the system. Frontman Josh Middleton’s time as part of Architects has hung over his work ever since, no doubt informing the anthemic melodic c

    I'm a fan of Spotify for music discovery and easy access to tunes on my devices. And Spotify's API was critical to building this website. But I know that Spotify is not the best way to financially support the artists I love. So, when I find myself listening to an album repeatedly I make a point of purchasing it via Bandcamp or a local record store. And I buy tickets to see musicians live (and often purchase merch at the venue.) I hope users of this site will do the same.

    Similarly, as a longtime public media journalist, I know that it takes considerable time and energy to produce the articles linked here. Please also support those writers and journalists. Subscribe to the sites you visit the most, or leave a donation where that's an option.
