Kicking off September 6 at Washington\, DC’s Black Cat the itinerary also takes the legendary band to Boston\, Philadelphia\, Detroit\, Austin\, Atlanta\, Seattle and Portland. Prior to this past December\, the band had not played live together since 2009 and these new shows represent the only new appearances planned. \nTickets for all shows are on-sale Friday\, April 20 at 10am local time. \n2017’s tour reminded all that saw the Jesus Lizard that their live show is unparalleled. Brooklyn Vegan noted\, “…it would be hard to say The Jesus Lizard have mellowed in the 30 years since forming” and reviewing Houston’s Day For Night Festival\, the Houston Press declared\, “it was hard to deny that the Jesus Lizard was the best act on Sunday\, hands down.” Stereogum have called them “one of the greatest live bands ever” and The New York Times has used the words “extravagantly good” while Rolling Stone speaks of the band’s “shattering live performances.” \nThe Jesus Lizard formed in late 80’s Austin\, TX after David Yow (vox) and David Wm. Sims’ (bass) previous band Scratch Acid broke up. They started the Jesus Lizard with Duane Denison (guitar) and a drum machine and recorded their debut EP Pure with Steve Albini in 1989. A move to Chicago prompted the firing of the drum machine in favor of Mac McNeilly (drums) and in 1990 the band recorded their first full-length\, Head\, for Touch and Go. \nWhile the labels “seminal” and “legendary” are often applied too easily\, they both accurately describe the Jesus Lizard. They released five more remarkable LPs before disbanding in 1999\, the last being 1998’s Blue. During that time\, they toured endlessly and issued not only the critically acclaimed studio LPs but also assorted singles\, EPs\, compilations and a live album. Pitchfork has said of them: “the Jesus Lizard raised a bar that few bands have reached since…Rarely does a band have each member adding something essential to such a united\, ferocious whole.” \n*** \nAll Souls \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nLife’s paths twist and turn\, but we always eventually end up where we’re meant to be. \nIn that respect\, the story of All Souls feels pre-destined. Way back in 1994\, Tony Tornay [Fatso Jetson\, The Desert Sessions\, Linda Perry] first met Tony Aguilar and Meg Castellanos [Totimoshi\, Alma Sangre] by introduction from Erik Trammel [Black Elk\, Wadsworth]. They kept in touch and always bandied the idea of “writing and jamming” about. \nIt took 21 years\, but a band finally became a reality in 2015 when these four artists sat around a table and discussed officially working together… \n“One of the things that we did in this band that I’ve never done before is have that discussion\,” recalls Aguilar. “Meg and I had always wanted to play with Tony as did Erik. It finally fell into place. Once we figured out what the lineup was going to be\, we sat around and discussed what we wanted to sound like artistically before even jamming. It gave us a really great grasp on the artistic angle. It was almost like forming the painting before it was brought to life.” \n“This is the culmination of thirty years as a professional musician\,” adds Tornay. “It’s everything I’ve wanted for as long as I can remember. When we get together\, it feels like home. This embodies every reason why I do what I do.” \nThroughout 2016\, the quartet—Aguilar [vocals\, guitar]\, Castellanos [bass\, vocals]\, Trammell [guitar]\, and Tornay [drums]—recorded what would become their self-titled full-length debut\, All Souls\, during intermittent sessions at Sound of Sirens Studio in Los Angeles with producer Toshi Kasai [Tool\, The Melvins\, Foo Fighters]. \nFor Aguilar and Castellanos\, the music spoke to a dormant primal need that harked back to their time in the fan favorite underground mainstay Totimoshi. \n“At the time\, we had been doing Alma Sangre\, which was our take on flamenco meshed with Ranchero\,” says Aguilar. “We’re rockers at heart though\, and we had been wanting to be in another rock band. It also reunited us with Toshi who did three of our Totimoshi records. He has his own approach. It’s almost like you enter into a different world with his production. Each song becomes like a journey\, and nobody curtailed that. We were all on the same page.” \nFollowing tours with the likes of Red Fang\, The Sword\, Kvelertak\, and Torche\, the band unleash All Souls in 2018 via Sunyata—the label founded by iconic Screaming Trees and Mad Season drummer Barrett Martin. Earmarked by Spaghetti Western-style expanse and rough-and-tumble riffing\, the music proudly bears the wild wear-and-tear of the nineties Palm Desert scene with a twist of psychedelic voodoo and metallic edge. \nIntroducing the album\, the first single “Never Know” barrels forward at full speed powered by gusty distortion and a psychedelically catchy refrain. \n“Lyrically\, I want to keep it a little mysterious\,” Aguilar reveals. “It’s about people in our society who feel like they own the world\, act accordingly\, and behave in ways that are completely derelict of social responsibility. They’ll never know love or understand that responsibility. They’ll never know anything.” \nElsewhere\, “Party Night” dements a surf rock-style gallop with punchy delivery and overcast production. The melancholy melodies of the seven-minute “Rename The Room” paint a stark picture of bipolar mood swings and abuse inspired by a dark day in Aguilar’s childhood home. Tool drummer Danny Carey kicks off the entrancing “Sadist/Servant” with a spirited cameo on Tabla Drums\, providing a tribal flare. \n“‘Sadist/Servant’ one never gets boring\,” smiles Tornay. “It’s always in your face and never falls back in the pocket. Danny killed it. He’s playing this really aggressive instrument on the quietest part of the song!” \nIn the end\, these four musicians were always meant for this band. That’s why All Souls is so easy to get lost in. \n“When you hear this\, I hope you have that experience where you’re just completely inside the music\,” Aguilar leaves off. “You can just fall into it.” URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/the-jesus-lizard/ LOCATION:Royale Nightclub Boston\, MA\, 279 Tremont Street\, Boston\, MA\, 02116\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://royaleboston.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-jesus-lizard-photo-2018.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bowery Boston":MAILTO:info@boweryboston.com GEO:42.3499959;-71.0656288 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Royale Nightclub Boston MA 279 Tremont Street Boston MA 02116 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=279 Tremont Street:geo:-71.0656288,42.3499959 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180907T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180907T220000 DTSTAMP:20260406T202404 CREATED:20180628T170018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180726T154022Z UID:10001940-1536357600-1536357600@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:Sofa King Fridays ft.

All patrons subject to search upon venue entry. \n*** \nCar Seat Headrest \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nToledo always knew he would return to Twin Fantasy. He never did complete the work. Not really. Never could square his grand ambitions against his mechanical limitations. Listen to his first attempt\, recorded at nineteen on a cheap laptop\, and you’ll hear what Brian Eno fondly calls “the sound of failure” – thrilling\, extraordinary\, and singularly compelling failure. Will’s first love\, rendered in the vivid teenage viscera of stolen gin\, bruised shins\, and weird sex\, was an event too momentous for the medium assigned to record it. \nEven so\, even awkward and amateurish\, Twin Fantasy is deeply\, truly adored. Legions of reverent listeners carve rituals out of it: sobbing over “Famous Prophets\,” making out to ‘Cute Thing’\, dancing their asses off as ‘Bodys’ climbs higher\, higher. The distortion hardly matters. You can hear him just fine. You can hear everything. And you can feel everything: his hope\, his despair\, his wild overjoy. He’s trusting you – plural you\, thousands of you – with the things he can’t say out loud. ” I pretended I was drunk when I came out to my friends\,” he sings – and then\, caught between truths\, backtracks: ” I never came out to my friends. We were all on Skype\, and I laughed and changed the subject.” \nYou might be imagining an extended diary entry\, an angsty transmission from a bygone LiveJournal set to power chords and cranked to eleven. You would be wrong. Twin Fantasy is not a monologue. Twin Fantasy is a conversation. You know\, he sings\, that I’m mostly singing about you. This is Will’s greatest strength as a songwriter: he spins his own story\, but he’s always telling yours\, too. Between nods to local details – Harper’s Ferry\, The Yellow Wallpaper\, the Monopoly board collecting dust in his back seat – he leaves room for the fragile stuff of your own life\, your own loves. From the very beginning\, alone in his bedroom\, in his last weeks of high school\, he knew he was writing anthems. Someday\, he hoped\, you and I might sing these words back to him. \n“It was never a finished work\,” Toledo says\, “and it wasn’t until last year that I figured out how to finish it.” He has\, now\, the benefit of a bigger budget\, a full band in fine form\, and endless time to tinker. According to him\, it took eight months of mixing just to get the drums right. But this is no shallow second take\, sanitized in studio and scrubbed of feeling. This is the album he always wanted to make. It sounds the way he always wanted it to sound. \nIt’s been hard\, stepping into the shoes of his teenage self\, walking back to painful places. There are lyrics he wouldn’t write again\, an especially sad song he regards as an albatross. But even as he carries the weight of that younger\, wounded Toledo\, he moves forward. He grows. He revises\, gently\, the songs we love so much. In the album’s final moments\, in those ” apologies to future me’s and you’s\,” there is more forgiveness than fury. \nThis\, Toledo says\, is the most vital difference between the old and the new: he no longer sees his own story as a tragedy. \nHe’s not alone no more. \n*** \nNaked Giants \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n‘SLUFF’ is a word that means both everything and nothing\, but it definitely sums up the three distinct personalities that make up Naked Giants. Depending which member you ask\, SLUFF is either slang for the black gunk that comes off your shoes when it snows in the winter\, an acronym that stands for South Lake Union Fuck Face (a reference to the tech bros who have infiltrated Seattle in recent years) or what a snake does when it sheds its skin. It’s also the title – and a song on – the band’s debut full-length. \nFormed in 2015\, the Seattle trio – guitarist/vocalist Grant Mullen\, bassist/vocalist Gianni Aiello and drummer Henry LaVallee – put out debut EP R.I.P. the following year and have been steadily building up their reputation as a live act in the meantime\, and having as much fun as possible while doing it. Because as much as the three-piece – who are all in their very early 20s now – have their heads screwed on and are fiercely intelligent people\, they also want to let loose and enjoy being in a band. After all\, that’s kind of what being in a band with your closest friends is all about. \n“I just want to make as much noise and have as much fun and get as sweaty as I can\,” says LaVallee\, “and if that resonates with people\, that’s who I want in my life. That’s who I want to play music for.” \nThat clash of the cerebral and the intelligent – the desire to say something meaningful but also just have some fun – is what underpins the very essence of who Naked Giants is. It’s a band of contradictions. Their music\, which is simultaneously timeless and modern\, new and old\, is loud and brash and raw\, but there’s vulnerability there\, too. In fact\, debut album SLUFF is a melting pot of ideas and sounds that\, on paper\, don’t seem like they would go together\, but which form one phenomenally cohesive whole. \n“These are songs that we’ve played live for a long time\,” explains Mullen. “We wanted to showcase the different kinds of songs we’ve written and put them all onto an album that flows together\, making it tie together into something that means something.” \nThat’s exactly what they do on SLUFF’s twelve weird and wonderful songs. Recorded with producer Steve Fisk (Nirvana/Screaming Trees/Beat Happening/Car Seat Headrest/Low/Minus The Bear) in Seattle at Avast! and Soundhouse Studios over the course of two and a half weeks in October\, the record is a dizzying mélange of influences and ideas. It swirls with hyperactive restlessness as 1960s harmonies share space with 1970s riffs while at the same time battling an undercurrent of punk rock and more modern indie influences. The song “TV”\, for example\, is a kaleidoscope of sound that seems to take in the whole history of rock’n’roll but reframes it in a more contemporary context. \n“From our perspective as millennials where everything is accessible all at once\,” explains Aiello\, “there is no difference to us between punk and classic rock or anything like that because we’re all observing it at the same time through the same lens. And yes\, history exists\, but if you’re just flipping through something on the TV\, it all kind of conflates together – kind of like the song does.” \nNeedless to say\, that song simmers with tension\, and it’s not the only one. “Everybody Thinks They Know (But No One Really Knows)” is a jaunty\, upbeat jangle but with distinctly sinister undertones\, “Slow Dance II” is a sumptuous\, soulful track with a desperate\, raw and bluesy swagger. “Dat Boi” is a rash of brash guitars that’s soon swept by an off-kilter\, psychedelic melody while closer “Shredded Again” is a graceful\, lackadaisical comedown after the rush of energy that precedes it. Raucous and rabid\, but also considered and complex\, Naked Giants’ music is the sum of all their influences and then some. And then some more. \n“What’s really interesting to me\,” ponders Aiello\, “is we have very different influences\, so when we’re jamming it’s like it’s being pulled apart and pushed together in so many different directions. And I think that’s a good thing.” \nThen\, of course\, there’s the quasi-grunge title track\, which chugs along with an ominous yet uplifting attitude as its title is shouted with a fervent zeal – “SLUFF!” – and which carries with it both the weight of the world and the reckless abandon of youth. \nSo while Naked Giants are happy to play the role of the dumb\, hedonistic rock band\, don’t be fooled for a second – they’re one of the brightest\, smartest acts out there at the moment. And this is also just the beginning of what they’re already planning to be a long and rewarding career. Even at this early stage\, they’re taking it as seriously as they are just having a good time. They have a lot to say and they’re not afraid to say it\, but they also relish in what making music has\, even already\, given back to them. \n“Performing on a stage has been very purpose-giving\,” says LaVallee. “Being in a group of people all experiencing music together brings a strong sense of community\, which excites me. Hopefully going forward we’ll be playing to more and more people. I want us to spread respect and fun rock’n’roll music to a whole lot of people. That just seems like a good deal all around.” \n“We’re just here to play music\,” says Mullen\, “so the more it goes well the more we’ll be thinking about our own art and our own voices. And that’s really the progression of it – personal growth and artistic growth. And whatever people think of that on a greater scale when it reaches them is all kind of up to them.” \n“Not everyone gets to go onstage and have a microphone in front of their mouth\,” says Aiello\, “so that’s a certain amount of responsibility.

Lead singer Brooks Nielsen draws a particular devotion among Growlers fans\, as does chief cohort Matt Taylor\, The Growlers’ music director and chief guitarist. Their most recent LP was 2016’s City Club\,produced by Julian Casablancas\, which saw them expand their palette to include West African\, dance\, and electronic influences.

It’s something you’ve just got to have.” \nIt’s that feel\, that deep emotional intuition that fuels Cautious Clay’s sound. Blending R&B\, hip-hop\, and experimental indie\, his productions are dark and engrossing\, built upon a unique combination of organic instruments\, digital programming\, and soulful vocals. He writes with unflinching honesty\, engaging in deeply personal self-reflection with boldly vulnerable and vividly poetic lyrics. At times recalling contemporaries like James Blake or Sampha\, Cautious is a profoundly modern songwriter and a forward- thinking producer\, but he’s also steeped in the past\, quick to cite Burt Bacharach as an idol and credit Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones as ever-present influences in his artful arrangements. \n“I used to think about songwriting and production as completely separate\,” he explains\, “but when I learned how to merge those two things\, that’s when I was able to start creating music that really connected with people.” \nOriginally from Cleveland\, OH\, Cautious began his artistic journey at the age of seven when he picked up classical flute. His studies led him deep into the worlds of blues and jazz\, and by the time he hit college in Washington\, D.C.\, he’d added a number of other instruments to his repertoire in addition to songwriting and production. Now based in Brooklyn\, Cautious is currently preparing to release his debut EP\, Blood Type\, in February.

I’ve been doing these things for so long now\, that I feel like just when I have written the mother of all things informative and maybe funny\, I go and record a new record. Why does shit always have to evolve and the information change every time another year goes by? Why\, since the last bio (which I felt was an understated masterpiece) did I have to go and do shit to deem it necessary for an update? Just because between the last album\, “I Liked it Better When You Had No Heart” and now\, I have: shot a video for “Pretty Melody” from the album ILIBWYHNH\, wore a tv on my head in it and fought ninjas\, got it featured on YouTube and it got a half million views\, did a sold out headlining tour of the states last year\, supported Train on a sold out tour of the states\, then went and supported Pink on a sold out stadium tour of Europe all summer\, including sold out headlining club shows of our own over there. Hmmm… What else.. Oh! Taylor Swift heard a little version I did of her song\, “I Liked it Better When You Belonged With Me” (or was it “You Belong With Me”? I can’t freaking remember…). She called me and asked if she could play my version of it on the Grammys and would I mind playing along side her and Stevie Nicks for the performance. Then she fell in love with me and ran away to Barcelona to elope\, only to find out that while I was in the bathroom at the airport\, she fell in love with Jake Gylenhall (sp?)\, who stole my fucking seat next to her in the waiting terminal…. Ok… I made that last part up. Fun right? No? Ok.. Like the fans are always telling me\, don’t talk about politics\, religious views or Tay Tay Swift. \nI should mention the band i play in. Just like the last record\, this record was recorded\, written and produced by me and the Black Widows. It consist of my longtime bandmates\, Chris Unck on guitar\, lap and pedal steel. He’s a redneck from the north Georgia mountains who I think wrestled alligators at one time\, and built lighthouses. He also fronted Chris Unck and the Black Roses.. Until I stole him. Fran Capitanelli on lead guitar is also a friend of mine that resided in Atlanta during my tenure there\, and he played guitar and sang lead in a band I loved called The Tom Collins. Until I stole him. He is the Professor of Energy…. Ask him to explain. Jake Sinclair on bass is not only the tallest\, skinniest bassist I know\, but he’s also the best. He’s even better than me\, and I’m fucking awesome. I met Jake while producing a record for his band The Films…. Until I stole him. I bartered with him though. I told him he could also engineer the records I make in my studio with me (he’s also the best engineer I know) and that his singer/songwriter in the Films\, Mike Trent\, would have to join in on the Black Widows writing process. I kinda made out good on this whole deal\, because Mike is one of the most unsung singer/songwriters I know\, and the lyrical collaborations we have done on the last couple of records have been my favorites. Oh yeah\, Mike’s wife (Cary Ann Hearst) is also an amazing singer/songwriter that I produced a record for last year…. She sang backup vocals on the new Widows record. It’s a family affair… \nso this is the part of the bio where I’m supposed to describe the new record by us called “The Spade”. I’m supposed to inject words about the songs like “soaring”\, “pounding”\, “climactic”\, and maybe even a “unrivaled”…… But I just can’t talk like that about my own music. But what I can say is\, just like my bass paying skills….. It’s fucking awesome. we will be on the road this year a lot\, and probably sleeping at many KOA campgrounds this fall. More than likely\, you are reading this because you don’t know shit about me and you are about to interview me for your school paper or local radio station visit (yes\, im in the lobby) and you need to find out a few things about me to talk about. It’s ok. I’m not mad. I’m not very popular and I don’t blame you if you “just aren’t into the music”. You may not have read this far\, or been able to get past the bass playing part\, but if you have\, then I commend you. Let’s talk…. \nend of bio. \n*** \nGreg Holden \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nGreg Holden is an accomplished musician with a myriad of talents\, but his unending perseverance\, selflessness\, and sincerity stand out. \nThe British-raised\, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter has garnered recognition as an independent artist for the past several years and is likely best known for writing American Idol winner Phillip Phillips’ hit debut single\, “Home\,” which sold over five million copies in the U.S. and earned Holden an ASCAP Pop Award. His music has also been featured on notable television shows including Sons of Anarchy\, Private Practice\, and One Tree Hill. In addition to earning praise from industry staples such as Cher\, Tom Hanks\, Josh Groban\, Sara Bareilles\, Michael Bublé\, Zane Lowe\, TIME\, NPR\, and more\, Holden has racked up critical acclaim in the press\, with BuzzFeed hailing his “soaring\, purpose-filled songs that carry real emotional weight\,” Paste lauding his “clear vocals” and “expressive lyrics\,” and Nylon applauding his unique ability to “actually touch the lives of another person with raw\, emotional lyrical poetry.” \nDespite his impressive accolades\, Holden nearly gave up on the music business in the early days of his career. After self-funding his Tony Berg-produced sophomore album\, I Don’t Believe You (2011)\, the label due to release it folded\, thus the promotional efforts for the record. He then went into debt during a sold-out tour of Europe\, so much so that he basically called it quits while on the road. Most artists would have thrown in the towel at this juncture\, but Holden persisted through these setbacks\, leading to the well-deserved\, massive success of “Home.” He then went on to self-fund his third studio album\, the critically acclaimed Chase The Sun (produced by Greg Wells\, 2015)\, later licensing the record through Warner Brothers Records. \nHolden is excited to be back in the ring with his impressive new single\, “On The Run\,” produced by the iconic Butch Walker (Katy Perry\, Panic! At The Disco\, Weezer). The track is an uplifting anthem complete with catchy hooks that perfectly mesh with Holden’s strong\, heartfelt vocals. “ ‘On The Run’ is one of a few songs that was bouncing around in my head when it came to the question of what to lead with after three years on the dark side of the moon\,” says Holden. “Ultimately\, this song felt like the most authentic\, whilst at the same time not being so typically subject heavy that I would scare my listeners away. I’ll save that for the second single…” \n“ ‘On The Run’ is an apology\, obviously. But it’s an apology to a number of people\, for a number of things\,” he adds. “For years I’ve been on the road\, either emotionally or physically absent\, and at times probably a nightmare for partners\, friends\, and family. I wanted to write something that in a way\, said sorry for all that. A way to relinquish some of the guilt perhaps. I recorded it last winter with Butch Walker\, along with some incredibly talented friends. It took a morning\, it was a blast\, and then we were done. It feels right to lead with this one as it came out so naturally.” \nThis summer\, Holden is also set to debut “The Power Shift\,” a political\, call-to-action earworm. Holden produced and wrote the song himself\, and it aligns with his rebellious spirit of pushing back against the status quo. “I was trying to manifest a collective call on the\, for lack of a better word\, bullshit. I think it’s important that when someone is lying to you\, you call them out\,” says Holden. Although there was no singular event or figure who inspired him to write the track\, he notes his frustration with a growing series events around the world. “I was getting tired of screaming into the social media echo chamber and really wanted to put my frustrations into a song that wasn’t so toxic. I’m under no illusion that this is just a song\, but it’s better than a tweet.” \nAdditionally\, Holden has not taken his success in the music industry for granted and at times has worked to prioritize philanthropy and establish his profile as a socially conscious artist. Standout track\, “The Lost Boy\,” (from I Don’t Believe You)\, inspired by a Dave Eggers’ novel about a Sudanese refugee\, was the theme for a Red Cross campaign in The Netherlands that raised over $50\,000 for the organization. His hit single from Chase the Sun\, “Boys In The Street\,” an acceptance anthem that discusses a gay son’s strained relationship with his father\, directly benefited LGBTQ youth by raising money for the Everyone Is Gay organization’s 2014 fundraiser\, The Gayest Compilation Ever Made II. It’s an emotional\, poignant track that Tom Hanks called “The perfect song.” \nNeedless to say\, Greg Holden is an artist to watch in 2018\, with more new music expected later this year. Stay tuned for exciting news to come.

In the intervening year and a half\, Whethan has established himself as a one of the hottest up-and-coming producers and released a collaboration with Dua Lipa\, “High” (on the “Fifty Shades Freed” soundtrack) “love gang” (ft. Charli XCX)\, “Savage” (ft. Flux Pavilion & MAX)\, and “Good Nights” (ft. Mascolo) (namesake of the 2018 42-city “Good Nights” North American headline tour). The Chicago-born\, Los Angeles-based producer has toured arena stages supporting The Chainsmokers and stood out as a solo performer during festival appearances at Lollapalooza\, Billboard Hot 100 Music Festival\, as well as at Coachella’s DoLab & Heineken House. This spring\, Whethan will wrap the European leg of the “Good Nights” tour (this time co-headlining with Louis the Child) to return to the Coachella stage. \n*** \nSweater Beats \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nThe Philippines and suburban Maryland aren’t exactly R&B or dance music hot beds\, but they didn’t need to be for Antonio Cuna aka Sweater Beats to ingest both genres and spit out an exciting hybrid\, melding the sensuality of contemporary R&B with the immediacy of dance music. Born in the Philippines\, Cuna moved to Maryland\, adapting to his new environment by engaging with music and skate culture. But it wasn’t long before R&B entered the picture\, first as an obsession and later\, while Cuna was at university in New York\, as a creative outlet. Growing up in the 2000s\, it’s no surprise that Cuna’s heroes include R&B producer mavens like Pharrell and Timbaland\, as well as French dance music behemoths Daft Punk\, but it’s how he’s filtered those influences into the ingenious sonic aesthetic\, a sound equally fitting both the festival stage and bedroom play\, that makes Sweater Beats such an unavoidably intriguing project. \nSince bubbling up in the dance world with the premiere of his debut single “Mlln Dllr” on Annie Mac’s Radio1 show\, Sweater Beats has constantly pushed the limits of his own sound. With support from the likes of Diplo\, Omarion\, and JoJo\, plus tours with artists like Chance the Rapper\, Flume and Chet Faker\, the producer has clearly caught the eye some of a wide variety of tastemakers. Featured by the likes of Billboard\, Entertainment Weekly\, Boiler Room and The FADER\, Cuna has also received admiration from music journalists the world over\, drawing almost universal praise from disparate outlets. With countless collaborations\, mixes\, and remixes\, on top of a constant touring schedule\, Cuna has garnered a reputation for his incessant work rate and willingness to push his sound into new and uncharted territory. And that’s part of the reason why Cuna connects with his fan base on such a visceral level\, eschewing traditional industry methods for his own unique\, intimate manner of going about business. \n*** \nAndrew Luce \nWebsite \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nVery few artists have truly been able to adapt to the constantly evolving electronic music landscape. Fewer have been able to organically rack up over 5.5 million plays\, blow the internet away on both original content and remixes\, gather support from some of the biggest players in the industry\, and make an appearance at the legendary Coachella Music Festival. Still\, even fewer have managed to do all of these things before their 18th birthday.

Joy \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n“These dreams are more than paper things\,” sings Matt Quinn on Mt. Joy’s infectious folk-rocker “Astrovan\,” a warm\, yearning bit of road-trip philosophy that posits the existence of a Deadhead Jesus cruising the dusty highways of the countryside\, nursing a roach on his way to only He knows where. It’s an auspicious line from a band predicated on the revival of teenage dreams. \nMt. Joy started off as a rekindling of shared musical ambitions between Philadelphia high school friends Matt Quinn (vocals\, guitar) and Sam Cooper (guitar). Reunited in Los Angeles thanks to the ebbs and flows of adult life\, the pair met multi-instrumentalist Michael Byrnes through a Craigslist ad. They named themselves Mt. Joy as an ode to a mountain in Valley Forge National Park near Sam’s childhood home\, and together\, with Byrnes’ roommate Caleb Nelson producing\, they recorded three songs and sent them out into the world\, hoping for the best. “I knew I still wanted to write songs\, but the realities of life made that dream seem pretty impossible\,” Quinn says. \nMuch to the band’s amazement\, “Astrovan” accomplished the impossible. Without initial promotion or fanfare\, the song took off on Spotify\, racking up 5 million streams to date. “The irony of ‘Astrovan’ was that song was really about being stuck in a life and wanting to have the opportunity to pursue a dream\, and in an instant it gave us that opportunity. ” Quinn says. Mt. Joy quickly transitioned from a part-time calling into a full-fledged band rounded out by Byrnes on bass\, Sotiris Eliopoulos on drums and Jackie Miclau on keyboard. \nCome 2017\, Mt. Joy hit the road\, and hit it hard: They played tour dates alongside the likes of The Shins\, The Head and The Heart\, The Lone Bellow\, and Whitney\, and popped up at some of the summer’s biggest festivals\, including Bonnaroo\, Newport Folk Festival\, Lollapalooza and Made In America. “We were put on some big shows very quickly\,” Quinn says. “The growth for us has been exponential – we’ve really just become a family that’s constantly pushing each other and the live show to be great.” They eventually caught the attention of Dualtone Records and began work on their debut album. \nSteeped in folk-rock tradition and powered by the intuitive creative connection between Quinn and Cooper\, the songs on ‘Mt. Joy’ depict Quinn wrestling with his own conscience\, where the mundane and the fantastic collide as he processes tragedy\, society\, and love. Opener “I’m Your Wreck” describes “monsters in (the) closet\, using up the wi-fi” as it cycles from its desperate\, spiraling verses to its swinging\, stubbornly optimistic coda\, while the loping\, plaintive chords of “Younger Days” meditate on a frayed psyche and the fear of choosing the wrong path. “Sheep\,” with its collapsing\, hoarse-voiced cry of “freedom was paid in blood\,” is a post-Trump salvo on the responsibilities of the fortunate to overcome political and social despondency. And on “Silver Lining\,” perhaps the album’s brightest moment\, Quinn surveys the damage of hard drugs and the vicious cycle of addiction\, as the song’s melancholic sentiment kicks into its fervid\, defiant chorus\, all shout-along vocals and trilling guitars. \nTaken together\, the self titled ‘Mt. Joy’ LP is a startlingly open document\, wracked with the anxieties and fears that come just as life seems to start working out. It’s a natural reaction from a wary band like Mt. Joy – the result of a sort of professional vertigo\, as they’ve gone from virtual unknowns to hot young commodity in little over a year. But there’s a sense of hope underlying everything\, girded by the fact that the Mt. Joy LP is an impressive\, honest portrayal of a young band facing that moment where dreams become reality\, and finding beauty in the exhilarating uncertainty of it all. \n*** \nArlie \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nIt all started one ordinary day in the mines. \nThe year was 1816\, and times were tough in small-town Arlia. As The Whistler left for work that morning\, he wasn’t sure how he would afford to feed his standard poodle and his three beautiful\, slimy piglets that night if he didn’t strike gold. Nonetheless\, he turned the key\, started up his mammoth\, and rode off into the rising sun. \nBy late afternoon The Whistler had been chipping away at the subterranean rock walls for 7 sweltering hours\, praying to the rock gods he would hear the resonant “cling” of a shiny new bitcoin\, with each heave of his selfy stick– when all of the sudden\, as if straight from Donald Almighty himself\, a catchy little earworm wriggled its way into The Whistler’s temporal lobe. \nHe began whistling the tune aloud so that he would not forget it. As he went on\, whistling and hacking away\, he found himself smiling\, overcome with a feeling that there was hope for the human race. He knew he must preserve this melody and share it with the world above ground\, so that all might join in this bright hope. \nThose around him in the mineshaft took note of The Whistler’s cheerfulness. It greatly irritated them\, for there was certainly nothing to be cheerful about in 1816. They muttered to one another in disapproval\, and one of the men asked The Whistler to stop whistling. But The Whistler did not notice\, for he was so intently focused on his tune—one distraction and the melody might be lost forever. \nThe other miners\, growing increasingly irritated\, began to grumble and toss insults at The Whistler. Soon\, one pebble-sized insult hit The Whistler on the shoulder. But The Whistler did not even flinch. Aggravated by The Whistler’s continued composure\, the miners gathered around him\, throwing larger and heavier insults\, some leaving bruises and even breaking the skin. Yet The Whistler kept whistling away\, now more determined than ever. \nThe Whistler knew that the others would go on throwing whatever libels and taunts they could find on the filthy cavern floor\, until they ran out or grew tired. The Whistler knew the pain would be over soon. So he doubled down and maintained his focus. He was still faced away from the mob\, whistling and chiseling at the Groovy Rock wall. \nJust then\, up from the back of the horde came the biggest\, strongest\, and meanest of them all\, who was called Fork. Fork was not actually a miner himself\, but he took it upon himself to tell the other miners what to do\, and they all listened to his sharp words with trembling trepidation. \nFork approached The Whistler menacingly\, lifting up a 375-pound Judgment in his massive meathooks. The others wanted to stop him\, but they were afraid of Fork\, for he was bigger and stronger than any three of them combined. Besides\, they thought\, even such a giant as Fork would surely not be able to pitch such a tremendous stone. But Fork stepped closer and closer to The Whistler\, hoisting the great Ad Hominem higher and higher with each stride. When he was only two paces from The Whistler\, he heaved the great Normative Boulder high over his head\, ready to bring it down upon The Whistler by surprise. \nHowever\, there were four brave and noble souls among the miners\, who were known as The Squad. \nThe Squad knew that only as a foursome could they overpower the mighty Fork. And so\, seizing the moment\, The Squad rushed at Fork. Each grabbing a limb\, they tackled the giant to the ground with a heavy THUD! \nAt that very instant\, as if triggered by the impact\, a deep rumbling rose up from beneath the mine\, along with a low-pitched roar emanating from the surrounding walls in all directions. The ominous sound grew louder and louder\, the quaking stronger and stronger\, until… \nBUURRRRRP! A most foul wind with a force stronger than a hurricane swept the whole company off their feet. As they rocketed and spiraled through the cavern\, they discovered they were not in a mineshaft after all\, but inside of a Big\, Fat Esophagus. \nBefore this could all sink in\, they had passed through the Pharynx\, the Larynx\, and had to duck their heads as they whizzed under the Colossal Uvula and into the cavernous opening of a Big\, Fat Mouth. \nThey saw taste bud hills beneath them\, and white-capped\, molar mountains further off on either side. Up ahead\, blinding daylight shone through a wide opening\, which\, upon examination\, appeared to be shrinking by the second. The Projectile Miners appeared to have no chance of escaping before the great gates shut. But at the last second\, as if by a miracle\, these five chosen ones were propelled into the free air just before the upper and lower incisors touched! \nThe Whistler and his newfound Squad were utterly bewildered. As they stared at each other in exuberant disbelief\, they knew their lives would be forever changed. Beneath them was a new and unseen realm\, a vast expanse of possibility. \nThrough the sky they fell\, and they fell\, and they fell. For two hundred years\, they accelerated downward at 9.81 m/s^2. All the while\, The Whistler had not stopped reciting his melody. Soon\, The Squad joined in\, understanding the significance of The Whistler’s mission without a word of explanation needed. \nAs they whistled on\, it dawned upon the Five Falling Miners that they would never again see their old mountain home. So they named themselves “Arlie\,” as a tribute to their homeland. With no distractions\, Arlie had plenty of time to streamline their whistling embouchures for maximum volume output. By the time they’d been practicing only 100 years\, the Whistler’s tune was so greatly amplified that it could be heard as far as the moons of Tatooine. \nAt last\, in 2016 Arlie landed in a little town the locals liked to call “The Athens of the South\,” hitting the ground at a final velocity of 61\,875.6 x106 m/s\, and they disintegrated on impact\, right on 12th Avenue S. between Eldey’s Barbecue and Montrose Ave\, where their remains splattered onto a white brick wall.

I had no pre-conceived notions. I was following this thing and when it was done I knew it could stand against anyone.” \nKnown far and wide as singer/guitarist of The Gaslight Anthem\, as well as The Horrible Crowes\, Fallon made his long-anticipated solo debut with 2015’s masterful PAINKILLERS. The album – which includes the hit singles\, “A Wonderful Life” and “Painkillers” – drew widespread critical applause upon its release\, with Rolling Stone noting\, “For a guy whose songs have always traded in the pains and pleasures of nostalgia\, the Fallon of PAINKILLERS seems to have arrived at a newfound\, forward-looking clarity.” \nFallon toured the world in support of PAINKILLERS\, during which time the New Jersey-based tunesmith began considering what might come next. Once again\, Fallon had a sound buzzing in his ear\, a modern marriage of rock and soul with the hard edge of punk\, ribboned with the “cool and kind of creepy” tones of the one and only Vox Continental\, the distinctive organ used by some of his favorite artists spanning The Animals and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to The Specials and Elvis Costello and the Attractions. \n“Believe it or not\, I started taking piano lessons\,” he says. “As a professional musician\, you think\, well\, taking lessons seems weird\, but then you remember there’s still a world of things you don’t know. I was okay with the idea that I didn’t know anything about playing piano so I was able to really learn. And that opened up whole new worlds for me.” \nDespite his new skill set\, Fallon was still somewhat stuck\, unable to access the part of himself necessary to truly go deep in his songcraft. \n“It seemed like I had all the music in the world\, but couldn’t find the melody\,” he says. “The brakes were on. The muse had left the building. I was really struggling to get songs because I was still searching for something. I finally had to let go\, I had to stop trying to control it so much and just tell the truth. Once I did that\, once I let go of any preconceived notion of what it should be\, that’s when it all came out.” \nFallon knew he had the musicians needed to back his hard R&B in The Howling Weather – guitarist Ian Perkins\, bassist Nick Salisbury\, and drummer Dave Hidalgo – but the right studio partner was key to truly nailing his sound and vision. He decided to reach out to an old friend in GRAMMY® Award-winner Ted Hutt (Old Crow Medicine Show\, Dropkick Murphys)\, with whom he previously collaborated on The Gaslight Anthem’s landmark THE ’59 SOUND and AMERICAN SLANG LPs as well as The Horrible Crowes’ ELSIE. \n“I thought\, who’s going to understand what I’m trying to do\,” says Fallon\, “and not try to correct it. I thought\, there’s nobody who loves what I love\, the British rock\, the R&B and soul music\, there’s nobody who understands this music better than Ted. And no one draws the best out me like Ted. He pushed me hard on these songs\, it was like\, you’ve got to dig for this. He knew what I needed to do and how I needed to get there. It was great to be pushed liked that by someone you know cares for you.” \nFallon began writing about his real life\, his immediate family and closest friends\, baring himself to the bone freely and unguarded. The celebratory sound of songs like the opening “If Your Prayers Don’t Get You To Heaven” belies the heart of darkness that beats within Fallon’s always frank songwriting\, the fist-pumping choruses and body-rocking rhythms casting light against richly complex lyrics born of a recent “conversation with mortality.” \n“I’m not the same kid that wrote THE ’59 SOUND\,” Fallon says. “Things are very different now and I think I sort of lost my place\, like what do I write about now? I don’t want to write songs about taxes. You have to find your center and just write about where you’re at now. I decided to just write about me and my friends and my family\, I’m going to write about the things that I know right now.” \n“Proof of Life” and “See You On The Other Side” provide potent bookends to SLEEPWALKERS\, offering a glimpse of Fallon’s trepidation and desire to confront his own naked truth. “Forget Me Not\,” the album’s first single\, is an impassioned rush of ‘60s pop\, all urgent guitars and giddy handclaps\, though Fallon admits the glorious energy disguises a badly broken heart. \n“I was thinking how every song doesn’t have to be so serious\,” Fallon says. “It can just be fun. It can just be a song that I would want to play live. ‘Forgot Me Not’ came out in just a couple of minutes and actually ended up being pretty serious – it seems my subconscious had other plans.” \nRecording SLEEPWALKERS in New Orleans marked the culmination of a longtime dream of Fallon’s\, getting to spend real time in the Big Easy and truly absorb the culture. Indeed\, the special musical energy of the Crescent City infused the album with an even greater connection to the swinging garage R&B he and the Howling Weather were cooking up in Parlor Recording. “Etta James” is both heartfelt paean to the legendary singer and a universal celebration of pure artistic passion in the face of great personal difficulty while the title track conjures the soulful spirit of Sam Cooke with big brass from the one and only Preservation Hall Jazz Band – remarkably\, the first time Fallon has incorporated a horn section into his polyglot approach. \n“At first I was very against it\,” Fallon says\, “ but I said\, you know what? I’m just going to go for it. Full on. So I had known Ben Jaffe – the Preservation Hall creative director – and the guys a little bit\, we did a song together once in Asbury Park\, and they invited me down to hang out and play some music. They were so cool\, I said\, hey\, we’re recording right down the street\, you’d be great on this one song I’ve got. They came down and they just started going full throttle\, they just went for it. It was done in about a half hour but that half hour was mindblowing. Just this incredible experience of hearing your own music be birthed and come to life. It was insane.” \nAs emotionally powerful as it is musically exultant\, SLEEPWALKERS is Brian Fallon at the very top of his game\, now as ever pushing and kicking the rock ‘n’ soul sounds he grew up on into the future. \n“I think my job\, in one sentence\, is to carry on the tradition\,” says Fallon. “That’s all I’m doing. All I’m trying to do is take what I’ve learned\, give it my own spin\, and keep it living. Keeping the pulse going.” \n*** \nCraig Finn \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nBe Honest. Stay Positive.

The feeling they got from the crowd in their hometown of San Diego inspired them to become a “real” band almost in spite of themselves. Along the way\, they recruited Marc Finn (drums) and released You Are Going To Hate This (produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR) in February 2016. Jordan Clark (guitar) added to the band’s musical prowess in the ensuing year of touring around North America. The fearsome foursome has now teamed up with Epitaph Records for the August 24th release of their new album\, Hypochondriac (with Zac Carper again at the helm). 2018 looks to be a year filled with drinks\, laughs\, tears\, miles in the van and on a plane and plenty of hours on the stage for The Frights. \n*** \nHUNNY \n \nWebsite\nTwitter \n*** \nHot Flash Heat Wave \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nSan Francisco indie-rock quartet Hot Flash Heat Wave rose to prominence in the Bay Area music scene in 2015 with the release of their ‘Gutter Girl’ music video\, from their debut album Neapolitan\, which was uploaded to YouTube and eventually made its way to the front page of reddit. Their versatile sound\, at times reminiscent of golden 60s\, power pop\, dream pop\, post-punk and indie rock\, demonstrates a dynamic range of songwriting prowess centered around consistently infectious\, sun-soaked melodies and guitar hooks. HFHW formed in Davis\, California as a noise collaboration between Adam Abildgaard and Nick Duffy in 2010\, expanding to a full band when bassist Ted Davis and guitarist Nathaniel Blum joined the group in the following years. Renouncing the traditional front-manned format of most contemporary bands\, the four instead each contribute songs and share the lead. With the release of their sophomore album\, Soaked\, accompanied by a string of creative self-produced music videos in 2017\, the group embarked on its first nationwide tour. Their first single\, ‘Bye Bye Baby’\, appeared on Canada’s Viral 50 Spotify playlist. In 2017\, HFHW released their sophomore album Soaked with OIM Records\, which charted on college radio in the U.S. The band just finished up a national tour and SXSW visit with No Vacation to promote their new single ‘Glo Ride’ – a song released in collaboration with Broken Ent. Hot Flash Heat Wave will continue to release music and new videos throughout 2018.

Seven-digit streams don’t always translate to actual fans at shows. One act might draw the attention of every tastemaker going\, while still failingto sell more than a handful of physical records.In the case of London duo HONNE –Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher –their time in the spotlight has been disorientating. Success has paved every step\, but tracking where it comes from has proved a tough task. One week they’re selling out a 3\,000 capacity show in their hometown\, the next they’re headliners at a festival in South Korea\, playing to 20\,000 people\, and shortly after they’re jet-setting to LA to collaborate with other artists. In this age when anyone can access music from virtually anywhere\, HONNE’s 2016 debut LP ‘Warm on a Cold Night’ has been embraced by different corners of the globe (the album went triple-platinum in South Korea)\, a swarm of fans all equally obsessed with the pair’s skill in writing relatable\, emotion-fuelled\, romantic pop.For their next move\, instead of getting caught up in different audiences\, vast territories and the demands of a world-spanning fanbase\, they focused on themselves. Placing a microscope to their own lives –the jet-setting highs and lows of being in a band\, the relationships they tried to hold up back home –they emerged with a touching\, personal second album with its own universal appeal.‘Love Me / Love Me Not’-HONNE’s new album coming out on August 24th 2018 -captures the duality of life’s ups and downs\, and the balancing act of navigating between two states at once. Whether it’s the honeymoon period high of a relationship\, the frustration of a long-distance separation\, the fear of losing someoneclose\, Andy’s lyrics dial in at the reality of most people’s lives. The record acknowledges that for every peak\, a challenge is round the corner; and equally\, that whenever life throws everything at once\, better times are ahead.Take ‘Day 1 ◑’ and ‘Sometimes ◐’\, the first two tracks unveiled from the record. The former is a sunny-side-up ode to an everlasting love (“You’ll always be my day one\, day zero when I was no-one”)\, complete with gospel choir and candy-coated synths. ‘Sometimes ◐’\, meanwhile\, sits at the opposite end of the emotional spectrum. It was penned when Andy heard news of a London terror attack and couldn’t get hold of his girlfriend. The news turned out to be false\, but the frontman spent hours dwelling on what might have happened. “It’sthe same with everyone\, but your mind just starts to think the worst in a situation like that\,” he explains. Via a Kanye-like vocoder that conveys despair through digital strain\, he dwells on mistakes he might have made\, wondering out loud if he might ever see his girl again. It’s a touching reminder that we need to keep the ones we love close.Debut ‘Warm on a Cold Night’ found itself under the covers and in a loved-up\, blissed out state. ‘Love Me / Love Me Not’ instead looks outwards and considers thebigger picture. It also finds HONNE coming on leaps and bounds\, both as producers and lyricists. Swapping a bedroom production aesthetic for a richer\, more textured style\, they also explore more beat-driven territory\, nodding towards hip-hop royalty like Dr. Dre\, DJ. Dahi\, Pharrell and BadBadNotGood.Andy’s lyrics can be earnest\, funny and self-mocking in the space of the same verse. Not least on ‘306’\, a tribute to James’ knackered Peugeot car\, which he still drives today. The song jokes about the falsemirage of fame (“One record down and I’m riding in this piece of shit”)\, and the days the pair spent as fearless twenty-somethings\, driving round east London while blasting Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Money Trees’ with the windows down. “Every time I listen to it\, I get nostalgic memories of growing up\,” Andy says\, reflecting on the track.Sticking to their London flat-turned-studio\, HONNE worked with some of pop’s most diverse\, exciting talents on ‘Love Me / Love Me Not’. North London drummer/vocalist Georgia stars on the jet-lagged ‘Location Unknown’; Norwegian singer Anna of the North gets caught up in the fidgety dayglow of ‘Feels So Good’; Jazz-pop prodigy Tom Misch and pianist Reuben James also make timely appearances. For some acts\, collaboration is often a box-ticking exercise to cram big names into songs for the sake of it\, but HONNE have a different motive\, where they’ll only work with an artist who can provide something new. They scout out new music\, track the artists down and promptly slide into their DMs. “These people have a lot to offer\, a fresh perspective that maybe you wouldn’t otherwise see\,” states James. “It’s a shame to limit yourself purely for pride\, to limit it to just us two in a room.”In-between records\, the pair would spend hours on flights\, dreaming up their next steps. “We’d spent so long touring and listening to other music\, we just had loads of inspiration bottled up\,” James remembers. They drew up notes on their phones\, recorded voice memos on the go\, and by 2016’s debut release\, they were raring to go on new material. Before hitting record\, they seemed to have a clear idea on what they wanted to achieve: a lusciously-produced follow-up with an\nemotional depth that went beyond their first work. Andy also saw the band’s early ideals coming further into focus. He cites the band’s name (“Honne” meaning your true feelings\, those you keep to yourself) and the name of their early record label (“Tatemae”\, which reflects the other side: what you say and what you display in public). In time\, this dichotomy between an online persona and actual reality has become starker.“Those two sides have been rooted in us from the beginning. Perhaps we didn’t explore it completely on the first album\, but it’s been bubbling away\,” Andy says. “Finally with this next album\, we demonstrated it.” Honne’s early vision is more evident than ever\, and the remarkable songs on this second LP capture themes and feelings their debut only hinted at.Andy journeys back to this idea of duality\, something that’s defined HONNE since the beginning. “I love how one side doesn’t exist without the other. These songs have to be there together.” James agrees: “You can’t have good without the bad\, and we wanted to show that: not everything is always rosy. In your head\, you think everything you aspire to have doesn’t come with its own problems. Relationships\, work\, home life\, family –there’s two sides to it all. Films and TV shows either show the good or bad\, but we wanted to show a balance and the grey space.”‘Love Me / Love MeNot’ achieves exactly that. It’s a journey through grey space\, fears and doubts\, peaks and pitfalls and the in-betweens. These are soul-searching songs that make you look inwards\, to the point where it’s impossible not to relate to each moment of introspection. That\, in itself\, is a remarkable and rare quality in a band –this ability to make you listen closer to your own thoughts.

She has been a recording artist and touring performer for twenty-five years\, paving the way for countless music artists\, particularly women\, who count her among their major influences.  Her deeply clever and often brutally candid songs have been garnering critical praise since she began her career in the early 1990s in Chicago by self-releasing audio cassettes under the name Girly-Sound.  The intense viral response to these early tracks led to Phair signing with the independent record label Matador Records. \nHer 1993 debut studio album Exile in Guyville was released to international acclaim; it has been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time\, by Pitchfork as one of the 100 Greatest albums of the 90’s and is considered one of the most accomplished debut albums for any artist in any genre to date. She was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine\, topped SPIN’s 20 Best Albums of the Year\, and reached No.1 on the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Critics Poll. Phair joined Lilith Fair in 1998-9\, performing as a main stage headliner along with top female acts of the day like Sarah McLachlan\, Emmylou Harris\, Sheryl Crow and Missy Elliott. \nIn Spring 2016 Liz toured with The Smashing Pumpkins on their North American “In Plainsong” tour. Liz is currently working on a new record\, and will be touring in June. \n2018 marks the 25th Anniversary of Exile in Guyville. To celebrate\, Matador Records will be re-issuing the record along with a box-set. Phair has sold over five million records worldwide\, with three US gold albums and two Grammy nominations. More than two decades after the release of her debut\, Phair’s influence in contemporary music and particularly over female voices in alternative music can be felt today more than ever. \n*** \nSpeedy Ortiz \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n“Necessary brattiness” is the motto for Speedy Ortiz’s dauntless new collection of songs\, Twerp Verse. The follow-up to 2015’s Foil Deer\, the band’s latest indie rock missive is prompted by a tidal wave of voices\, no longer silent on the hurt they’ve endured from society’s margins. But like many of these truth-tellers\, songwriter\, guitarist and singer Sadie Dupuis scales the careful line between what she calls being “outrageous and practical” in order to be heard at all. \n“You need to employ a self-preservational sense of humor to speak truth in an increasingly baffling world\,” says Dupuis. “I call it a ‘twerp verse’ when a musician guests on a track and says something totally outlandish – like a Lil Wayne verse – but it becomes the most crucial part. This record is our own twerp verse\, for those instances when you desperately need to stand up and show your teeth.” \nTwerp Verse was tracked in Brooklyn DIY space Silent Barn\, mixed by Omaha legend Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes\, Rilo Kiley) and mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Emily Lazar (Sia\, Haim\, Beck). The record pulls from the most elastic pop moments in Squeeze’s Argybargy and the seesawing synth-rock of Deerhoof and the Rentals. With Dupuis on guitars\, vocals\, and synths\, supporting guitarist Andy Molholt (of psych pop outfit Laser Background) now joins Speedy veterans Darl Ferm on bass and Mike Falcone on drums – and together they accelerate the band’s idiosyncrasy through the wilderness of Dupuis’ heady reflections on sex\, lies and audiotape. \nDupuis\, who both earned an MFA in poetry and taught at UMass Amherst\, propels the band’s brain-teasing melodies with her serpentine wit. Inspired by the cutting observations of Eve Babitz\, Aline Crumb’s biting memoirs\, and the acute humor of AstroPoet Dorothea Lasky\, Dupuis craftily navigates the danger zone that is building intimacy and political allyship in 2018. Now as public pushback against the old guards reaches a fever pitch – in the White House\, Hollywood and beyond – the band fires shots in disillusioned Gen Y theme “Lucky 88\,” and casts a side-eye towards suitors-turned-monsters in the cold-blooded single “Villain.” Closing track “You Hate The Title” is a slinky traipse through the banality of this current moment in patriarchy – in which survivors are given the mic\, but nitpicked over the timbre of their testimonies. “You hate the title\, but you’re digging the song\,” Dupuis sings wryly\, “You like it in theory\, but it’s rubbing you wrong.” Tuned smartly to the political opacity of the present\, Twerp Verse rings clear as a bell.
