When HOT MULLIGAN took to social media to declare themselves #1 Hot New Band, it would have been easy to write off the terminally online emo quartet’s proclamation as yet another irreverent entry into their bag of tricks. But it turns out Hot Mulligan have a way of manifesting things into existence, whether it’s name-dropping Michelle Branch and Mark Hoppus in song titles and netting responses from both (only one got the joke) or, true to their word, becoming synonymous with the newest waves of pop-punk and emo–err,post-emo, the genre Hot Mully have claimed responsibility for inventing. (Go ahead and fact-check it; they’ll wait.)Since forming in Lansing, Michigan, in 2014, the college friends–vocalist Tades Sanville, guitarists Chris Freeman and Ryan Malicsi and drummer Brandon Blakeley–have ascended from basements to buzz band on the back of two beloved albums, 2018’s Pilotand 2020’s you’ll be fine.Now, bolstered by 140 million Spotify streams, a sold-out nationwide headlining tour, support slots for the likes of The Wonder Years andNew Found Glory and headlines in Alternative Press and Rock Sound, the band’s thirdLP,WHY WOULD I WATCH(Wax Bodega),cements their evolution as one the most versatile and profoundly moving bands in the underground.

Opiuo is a genre-bending plethora of auditory and visual masterclasses. Born in 1984 in rural
New Zealand, his parents provided the land upon which music festivals were held. This
extremely formative growth surrounded by the early incarnations of Aotearoa’s electronic music
scene exposed him to the celebration of life through self-expression, dance, and giant sound
systems. These experiences shaped so much of who he is & what he stands for today. Positivity
and movement at the core of the project, his music is an infectious electronic based blend of
funk, soul, psychedelia, and booty-shaking bass.

When creators f<ck with how we experience time and space, great fictions emerge: Clive Barker's Imajica, Andrei Tarkovsky's sci-fi classic Solaris, and Godard's Alphaville. But what happens to artists when the flow of time gets f^cked up IRL? When an hour stretches into eternity, and the voices in your head begin to echo through empty rooms?
If you’re Kevin Barnes, the creative visionary behind of Montreal, Freewave Lucifer f<ck f^ck f>ck happens.
Isolation and uncertainty loomed throughout the genesis of the band’s latest studio album. “The experience of just trying to keep my head above water and navigate through the last couple years played a huge role in this record,” says Barnes.
These expansive selections contrast markedly with the focused pop of 2020’s UR FUN, which was crafted for visceral thrills and the concert stage. As it was for countless musicians around the world, the inability to tour eliminated one of the linchpins of Barnes’ creative process. “I didn’t know if we’d ever tour again, so I didn’t consider that side of things.” Denied social interaction and diverse experiences, Barnes delved inward.

Long-running cinematic rock band Caspian don’t want you to call their fifth album a “redemption,” a “comeback,” a “rise from the ashes,” or any of the other sentiments that emerge when bands return from nearly five years of silence.

Instead, this majestic collision of post-rock, metal, shoegaze, electronics, noise, minimalism and ambient music is an existential meditation, an acceptance of the cyclical nature of both life and career. Recorded at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, PA, by producer Will Yip (Code Orange, Defeater, Quicksand, Turnstile), On Circles marks the most organic writing and recording sessions in Caspian’s 15-year history

And So I Watch You From Afar released The Endless Shimmering on the 20 October 2017 on Los Angeles based record label Sargent House home of fellow noiseniks Deafheaven, Chelsea Wolfe and Russian Circles. The band left home to spend the Autumn and Winter in Europe, UK and Ireland playing their biggest headline tour to date drenching sold out audiences with their most thunderous collection of songs to date.

dedicated to injecting harmless fun into a music scene that often took itself too seriously. The band

trademark rash guards, black eye masks, and “anti-negativity” helmets, along with entertaining
onstage antics. This distinctive approach quickly gained traction, earning The Aquabats a fiercely
loyal following that spans multiple generations.
