Omenbringer
Adam Grundy

Today is a great day to share the spooky new single and lyric video from Omenbringer, called “MONSTERBATION.” On this Halloween-themed single, the band channel their love for big metal riffs and slick production into a fun-themed track. The band’s Molly Marie Kent shared: “MONSTERBATION is my homage to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and tells the story of me creating the perfect bride, hand choosing her parts to satisfy my every whim, and then fucking her back to death. So you could call it a love song I suppose.” Keep an eye out for new music from Omenbringer in 2026.

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.

Caicos – “Behemoth” (Video Premiere)

Caicos
Adam Grundy

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and video from New York-based indie pop artist, Caicos, the moniker of Alex Frenkel, called “Behemoth.” On this vibrant track that is filled with lush and complex guitar parts, Caicos establishes himself as a key artist to watch. “To me, the behemoth is a tryingly-formative experience from our past that we silently carry until it becomes very burdensome to divulge when embarking on cultivating new relationships,” Frenkel explains. “How can we possibly effectively communicate the emotions that have calcified over such a long period of time? The song explores a few examples of behemoths as well as the problems that might arise when deciding to finally attempt to share them.” If you’re enjoying the new single and video from Caicos, please consider supporting this artist here.

The Barracudas – “Phantom Creep” (Song Premiere)

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single from The Barracudas called “Phantom Creep.” The Bacarrudas upcoming double EP, Bleed Out, Get Pushed off a Cliff, Sink to the Bottom of a Lake, and Play a Halloween Monster House Party! (or…The Halloween Extended Player) tells stories of classic Halloween monsters from the all too relatable point of view of both the monster and the torch carrying townsfolk. The Bacarrudas rely on their cobwebby organ sounds and reverbed guitars to capture the essence of 1960’s novelty songs and the creepy vibes of Vincent Price movies. The result lands near an Animal House frat rock band fronted by Bobby “Boris” Pickett. The Barracudas’ Adam Rabuck shared: “’The Phantom Creep’ is a cautionary tale of the real monsters in the world. These are not vampires or werewolves, but the people lurking in the darkness. ‘The Phantom Creep’, of course, includes a warbly theremin and echoey backup vocals that were recorded deep in Victorian era London sewers. Very authentic!” Look for Bleed Out, Get Pushed off a Cliff, Sink to the Bottom of a Lake, and Play a Halloween Monster House Party! to be released on October 3rd by Schuylkill Beat Records and Mom’s Basement Records.

Elway – “Down The Lane And Far Away” (Song Premiere)

Elway
Adam Grundy

Today is a great day to share the electric new single from Elway called “Down The Lane And Far Away,” that comes from their hotly anticipated new LP, Nobody’s Going To Heaven, out on October 10th via Red Scare. Tim Browne (vocals/guitar) shared on the new single:

It feels like every day we lose more of our connection with the natural world and with each other. The simulacra of real human interactions that define our days are approaching an event horizon after which we will be lost entirely to each other and to the immovable truth at the center of our existence, which is that all the universe is meant to be shared and enjoyed, not stashed away behind layers of digital obfuscation. Touch grass before we’re too far gone, kids.

If you’re enjoying this new single, please consider pre-ordering the new record here.

Today is a great day to share the latest single from Austin Alt-rock band, Stella and the Very Messed, called “Keds With No Laces.” The song comes from the band’s sophomore LP, that dropped today via Double Helix Records, called Big Familiar. This band blends crisp hooks, lush melodies, and offbeat humor with ‘90s alt-rock and modern indie. Think Veruca Salt meets XTC, with flashes of Paramore and Squeeze. If you’re enjoying the new single, you can stream the rest of Big Familiar here.
