In 10 days, runo plum releases her debut album patching. So far we’ve heard “Lemon Garland,” “Sickness,” “Halfway Up The Lawn,” and “Pond,” which have all operated as extremely pretty previews. Now, the singer-songwriter is offering the dreamy number “Alley Cat.” View the full article

It seems like a bad idea to tour with CKY. Last year, the band was kicked off their co-headlining tour with Alien Ant Farm after frontman Chad I Ginsburg allegedly punched AAF leader Dryden Mitchell in the face. Now, Black Gold are pulling out of their tour with CKY due to “disrespect.” View the full article

Dirty Three are coming stateside. Last year the Aussie post-rockers released Love Changes Everything, their first studio album in 12 years, and celebrated with a brief tour in their home country. In March they’ll be bringing that tour to the US and Canada, their first trek across North American soil since 2012. View the full article

Woot!! I have just finished designing a Go Live Banner for the website. This banner will flash up on the top left of the website whenever we at solano paranormal rock & talk radio, go live on our video stream. We often stream when recording episodes of the Kick A$$ Rock Show or the Weekend Show. You can access the live stream by clicking the banner when it appears to inform you that we are live, or simply by going to the Kick A$$ Rock Show page on the site here. This is great for listener engagement and just adds another layer to what we offer here at the radio station. Mitch.

Radiohead returned to the stage tonight for the first time in seven years. It’s been an eventful interim, marked by the launch of side projects — most prominently the Smile, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s band with drummer Tom Skinner — and the amplification of controversy regarding the members’ stance on Palestine and Greenwood’s ties to Israel. At Movistar Arena in Madrid, the band kicked off the first of several four-night residencies in major European cities, digging into their catalog for a career-spanning setlist. I don’t know what this gig told us about the future of Radiohead, but seeing these song titles written out is a reminder of how much I enjoyed their past. View the full article

Romy, one-third of the xx, released her debut solo album Mid Air back in 2023. She’s put out a few singles in the meantime — including “Always Forever” and a few collaborations with Sampha — and today she’s back with another song that’s billed as a “symbolic closing chapter” to Mid Air.

Americana singer-songwriter Todd Snider canceled his fall tour in support of new album High And Lonesome And Then Some Monday after being hospitalized due to a “violent assault” Saturday outside his hotel in Salt Lake City. A new report indicates Snider was arrested on his way out of the hospital, seemingly because he did not want to leave. View the full article

Geese have been breaking out some covers during their incendiary tour in support of this year’s Getting Killed, including Velvet Underground and Stooges classics in San Diego, and Cameron Winter took on Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark” for a new ROG Xbox Ally ad. Other artists are starting to cover Geese songs too. View the full article

Swedish alt-pop singer and Sub Pop affiliate Waterbaby has followed up her spring single “Amiss” with another impressive new track. Whereas “Amiss” was an acoustic ballad accessorized with a symphonic arrangement, “Beck N Call” is edgier and more uptempo without sacrificing Waterbaby’s wistful spirit. It’s built on a stuttering piano riff that feels like it was excerpted from a dance track, deployed here instead as the foundation for R&B-flavored indie-pop — once again with some orchestral strings for good measure, this time set alongside some whispery beatboxing. Rapper ttoh shows up for a verse later on, but what I’m struck by is how well Waterbaby acclimates herself to that gorgeous backing track. Listen below. View the full article

More Witch Post! Earlier this year the indie rock duo of Dylan Fraser and Alaska Reid shared the EP Beast, which they followed up in September with the single “Changeling.” Now they’re back with another one, the romantic and nostalgic “Twin Fawn.” View the full article

The release slate is stacked. Although Margaret Farrell made a strong case for Sorry’s COSPLAY as our Album Of The Week, this is one of those weeks with many worthy contenders. Fate Euphoric very much belongs in that conversation. View the full article

The Swedish-Argentinian singer-songwriter José González works at his own pace, and he rarely seems to be in much of a rush to put any new music out on the market. González’s last album Local Valley came out four years ago, and that record was his first in six years. Until today, he hasn’t shared any more solo music since then, though he and his band Junip did team up with Sharon Van Etten for a new version of their old song “Line Of Fire” in 2023. Today, González is back with a short, pretty song that he wrote for his four-year-old son Mateo. View the full article

Desperation and delusion are at the heart of Sorry’s COSPLAY. It’s a fitting pendulum swing of emotion that feels like a morning skin routine in 2025. Our pores have adapted to AI slop, a growingly apathetic bureaucracy, and infinite distraction. It’s hard to tell what’s real, easy to feel increasingly cynical, hard to know what deserves our attention, and easy to feel overwhelmed. Dizzying singles “Echoes” and “JIVE” mirror the disorienting overstimulation that defines just about everything, frantically clinging to anything that feels good. On the latter, Asha Lorenz pleads, “I wanna jive tonight/ I wanna swing my hips,” before succumbing to a darker confession: “I don’t want to live like that/ I don’t want to live like this.” View the full article

Way back in 2007, LA punks the Bronx started making music under their self-explanatory alter-ego Mariachi El Bronx. This was an unlikely career move, but it led the band to play on plenty of larger stages. The Bronx are still going strong — their sixth album came out in 2021 — but Mariachi El Bronx have been on hiatus for a minute. The most recent Mariachi El Bronx album (they’re all self-titled) arrived in 2014. But now, Mariachi El Bronx is returning with a fourth LP, and its first single is out today. View the full article

Henry Rollins and Ian MacKaye go way back. Before Rollins led the hardcore punk pioneers Black Flag, he was in the short-lived band State Of Alert, whose 1981 EP No Policy was one of the first releases to come from MacKaye’s legendary Dischord Records. (They also worked together scooping ice cream at a DC Häagen-Dazs shop.) Nowadays, it’s been a long time since Rollins has released new music, and MacKaye’s been focusing on more behind-the-scenes roles. That might change soon, however, because according to Rollins, he and MacKaye have been making new music together. View the full article

The world got a very cool surprise on Friday, one that was entirely unrelated to Halloween. Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield once again teamed up with her twin sister and former P.S. Eliot bandmate Allison. They formed an entirely new band called Snocaps, in which they were backed up by MJ Lenderman and indie mega-producer Brad Cook, and they surprise-released their entire self-titled debut album after just a couple of teasers. Guess what! It fucking rules! Now, Snocaps are getting ready to play their first live shows. View the full article

Back in March, Chrystia Cabral, the Bay Area art-pop musician who records under the name SPELLLING, released her extremely cool album Portrait Of My Heart, one of our favorite records of the year’s first half. One of that LP’s highlights is a vast, dreamy ballad called “Destiny Arrives.” Today, SPELLLING shares a brand-new version of “Destiny Arrives” that features Weyes Blood, someone who knows how to make a vast and dreamy ballad.

Cat Power’s seventh studio album The Greatest turns 20 next year, and to celebrate, the musician born Chan Marshall is releasing a new three-song EP in January called Redux. As a preview, one of those songs is out today, a newly recorded cover of James Brown’s 1958 classic “Try Me.” View the full article

Based on name alone, you might assume that deathcrash was a 19-year-old rapper who dressed like a bat and whose beats sounded like the modem-connector static noise. Nope! Instead, deathcrash come from the the fertile South London post-punk scene, and they make majestic ’90s-style slowcore. The first two deathcrash albums, 2022’s Return and 2023’s Less, came out during a busy six-minth stretch. Now, they’re back with their first new single in a couple of years. View the full article
