“Swimming”, a 2022 single by the Dublin-based garage-rock/post-punk band SPRINTS, fuses a working-class fury at capitalism’s grind with a fierce joy in fighting back. Karla Chubb’s distinctive, full voice lays out the issue: “I’ve been working full-time since I was 17 / And I still got four coins in my pocket.” Surprisingly, her response to
A Djinn and a Hunter Went Walking Neba Solo and Benego Diakité Etoile Audio / Nonesuch 13 February 2026 There’s a sincerely grounded quality to A Djinn and a Hunter Went Walking.

Keep Moving Forward is certainly a fitting title for guitarist and composer Jan Esbra’s new EP. It’s a translation of a phrase Esbra’s father used throughout his childhood. In this context, it becomes “both mantra and mandate across the songs on the album,” according to the press notes, “reminding you to continue onward even when
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie Matt Johnson Neon February 2026 Your patience for Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie will depend on your appetite for the comedy of Matt Johnson, who in his films usually plays an overcaffeinated buffoon whose ideas run the gamut from nonsensical to borderline dangerous.

Silent films, as we’ve often observed here at PopMatters, are bigger than ever. We live in an age that celebrates their restorations in film festivals, on home video, through streaming services, and even works on the printed page. While the majority of viewers probably remain apprehensive at the thought of sitting through something old and
Managing expectations was never a problem for PUP. From the very beginning, their dream was to make enough money to keep touring. Now that Sum 41 have unofficially passed them, Canada’s ceremonial pop-punk torch, I’d say their dream is still very much alive and kicking. However, back in 2015, right before PUP blew up, the

Trumpet player and bandleader Dave Douglas used to record and perform for long stretches with bands like his Tiny Bell Trio and his quintet.

Let’s face it, there is no dearth of disturbing “love songs” out there. From stalker odes to rapey hits to even murder ballads, they’re strangely all over the place. Most of these, however, are intentionally scary. The Beatles’ “Run for Your Life” is one of John Lennon’s many introspections into his own jealousy (luckily, this
Collaboration is the bedrock of music. Through collaboration, music can be propelled to new heights—creating moments that are as exciting as they are spectacular. It has also been central to the enduring success of electronic music for years. Even the most singular talents have taken the time to collaborate with artists both within and outside

As the indie horror landscape shifts toward digital-first premieres, Eddy Fright and the team at Fright Teck Pictures are pulling back the curtain on their latest production, proving that a terrifying creature feature doesn’t require a Hollywood bankroll—just grit, practical ingenuity, and a smartphone app. Born from a 2016 meeting between Fright and producer Jeff
Annie Hogan should score a movie. Yes, Hogan should score a movie. The pulsating Tongues in My Head utilises pianos, electronics and studio controls to create an evocative soundscape: feeling over form. What words emerge in the microphone dissolve slowly against the backdrop, creating a stylistic undertone that should accompany black-and-white images, a la Robert
From its crest in the 19th century, St. Louis slowly receded into a backwater of the strong currents of change in the United States. Depending on one’s view, a backwater is either stagnant or placid. St. Louis is a bit of both. At times, those of us who live in this region experience localized deluges

Scott McCloud didn’t intend for his solo debut to be a literal conversation with his past, but Make It to Forever gains another layer of poignancy from its backstory. The Girls Against Boys lead singer recorded the songs on his solo debut a decade ago. The goal was to capture the feeling of the stripped-down
The idea of post-humanism sounds almost absurd. We are conquerors of the globe, overpopulating to the point of ecological disaster. Yet the defining feature of the contemporary moment is not the triumph of humanity, but its redundancy – a condition anticipated long before it was named, and rendered with remarkable clarity in the austere electronic
In the five years since Nick Jonas last released a solo album, the man who has always been regarded as the central figure of his family group, the Jonas Brothers, has stayed booked and busy.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I decided to make an unusual list: not of all-time great love songs, but all-time great anxious love songs. Anxious love songs typically involve conflict—around unrequited passion, cheating, or loss—where the singer often feels something unresolved. Most of my favorite anxious love songs are exceptionally well-known—classic, even—so this list
