N.E. Vains
Adam Grundy

Today is a great day to share the new single from garage punk rock band, N.E. Vains, called “6 For 36.” In this electric-charged song, N.E. Vains quickly showcase why they’re turning heads in the crowded rock scene. Vocalist Tyler Boutilier shared about the origins of the single: “In Canada, First Nation Reserves are allowed to sell weed through their own non-government stores. Purchased during a particular trip to Cape Breton Nova Scotia (six packs for $36), the evening didn’t particularly end well for me.” If you’re enjoying the early listen, please consider pre-ordering N.E. Vains new LP, Running Down Pylons, that will be released on November 7th, here.

Jack Antonoff x Hayley Williams Interview

Jason Tate

Hayley Williams and Jack Antonoff interviewed each other at Rolling Stone:

Antonoff: The album gave me this feeling which I’ve been having about music. In this hellscape of only marketing, marketing, marketing, it’s become very clear what matters and what doesn’t. [The album] made me feel happy.

Williams: That’s so sick. Thank you. We got to experience this coming from the scenes that we came from, and the kind of music that really kick-started us. It’s so communal, and you’re always being fed by and feeding back into the community. When the world feels the way it does, I find myself wanting to plug back into what’s local. I’m wanting to go to smaller shows. I’m wanting to feel like I can see the blood and the bone.

Consequence:

“This advertisement is part of a broad campaign the US government is running across television, streaming, and online channels,” Spotify said in a statement. “The content does not violate our advertising policies. However, users can mark any ad with a thumbs up or thumbs down to help manage their ads preferences.”

Spotify users began noticing ICE recruitment ads earlier this week offering $50,000 signing bonuses, prompting a wave of boycott calls across social media. “I get an ad and it starts with, ‘millions of dangerous illegals are rampaging the streets. Join ICE today,’” user miss.mia777 posted on TikTok. “I don’t pick up my phone while driving. I picked up my phone with a quickness and deleted the app.” On reddit, boycott threads have quickly climbed to the top of r/music.
