Siren Section – Separation Team
After eight long years of silence, Los Angeles noise architects Siren Section are back with their new album “Separation Team”. This is the sound of a duo, James Cumberland and John Dowling, who have spent decades sharpening their tools, finally dropping a monolithic, 19-track concept album that balances on the knife-edge between beauty and decay. This is rock […]

• Weekly Song Recommendations • Kevin Kell O’Donnell’s Don’t Worry About Me (I’ve Already Got Someone New) hits like a reckless confession shouted over a rattling, cow-punk pulse—funny, ugly, and painfully self-aware all at once. It leans into its flaws with such raw conviction that the bravado slowly cracks, leaving behind something bruised, human, and […]

• Weekly Song Recommendations • BLACK PIGS · Coming Back “Coming Back” by BLACK PIGS hits like a clenched fist raised mid-chant, fusing blistering punk drive with a fierce awareness that feels urgently alive rather than retro. It’s a track that doesn’t just vent frustration—it sharpens it, turning raw energy into a defiant surge that […]
Rellyo Bambini – Cloned and Upgraded, Insert Soul Here
Rellyo Bambini just dropped a cyberpunk sonic grenade that’s about to blow the roof off every complacent, cookie-cutter rock record in the stratosphere. “Cloned and Upgraded, Insert Soul Here (Rebirth Edition)” is a manifesto for the digital age, wired on distortion, dripping with neon sweat, and powered by a heart that refuses to be digitized. […]
Mortal Prophets – Hide Inside The Moon
Mortal Prophets have just dropped “Hide Inside The Moon”. This is a descent into the luminous, chaotic, and beautifully distorted unconscious, served up with a side of pure rock ambition. At the helm is the perennial maestro John Beckmann, who handles the writing, production, and musical direction. Beckmann’s vision is amplified by two new collaborators he […]
K6R6NZ6N – War Against Reality
We’re diving deep into the abyss with K6R6NZ6N and their blistering new EP, “War Against Reality.” Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat: this ain’t your daddy’s rock record. Hell, it ain’t even a band in any traditional sense. What it is, is a goddamn wrecking ball—a six-track descent into a world where darkwave, industrial, post-punk, and black metal […]
Michellar – REVERIE ….FROM THEN TILL NOW
San Francisco’s best-kept secret isn’t a secret anymore. Michellar—the brainchild and soul-vehicle of artist Michelle Bond—has just dropped a debut album that attacks. “REVERIE ….FROM THEN TILL NOW” is a gritty, soul-baring, 12-track journey forged in late-night passion and the kind of relentless dedication that would make any rock ‘n’ roll lifer nod in respect. Michellar is […]
Silver Dawn – Beautifully Awkward

Creative Vibrations – Sunday Bummer
Forget your chill, acoustic Sunday recovery playlist. Toss it out the window. Creative Vibrations has just delivered a thirteen-track manifesto for the spiritually wrung-out and philosophically pissed-off. “Sunday Bummer” is for anyone who’s stared down a new week feeling the weight of the entire modern world crushing their chest. The first track “The Way” sets the tone […]
Mortal Prophets – UNDER THE INFLUENCE
Mortal Prophets aren’t here to pay tribute. They’re here to interrogate. On their new EP, “UNDER THE INFLUENCE,” the project—spearheaded by the singular vision of John Beckmann—treats iconic songs not as sacred texts, but as volatile fuel for a post-punk inferno. This is five tracks of radical, fearless reinterpretation that drags influence into a shadowy downtown warehouse, and rebuilds […]
