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.

The Barracudas – “Phantom Creep” (Song Premiere)

The Barracudas

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
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.

abandcalledlove – “A Liar!” (Song Premiere)

abandcalledlove
Adam Grundy

Today I’m proud to introduce everyone to a great new band from Atlanta, Georgia named abandcalledlove. Their latest single, “A Liar!” is brimming with big indie pop rock hooks, rich textural instrumental sections, all paired with infectious melodies and harmonies. abandcalledlove is Ryan Chandler Love (lead vocals), Ian Joshua Riley (producer/guitarist), Blake Aldridge (guitar), Brooks Roberts (bass), and Austin Yagle (drums), and their band chemistry showcases why they routinely sell out venues they are booked to play at. Band member, Ian Joshua Riley shared:

If the opening track of the EP is a ‘mission statement’ of sorts denoting what love is, and the second track of the EP is an extrapolation of those ideas, then ‘A Liar!’, being track three, is intended to be an antithetical, bastardized representation of ‘love’ experienced while intentionally and genuinely pursuing it. The dialogue-style approach to the lyrics combined with the narrator’s internal monologue in the chorus is meant to represent a hypothetical, but universally relatable narrative of the seemingly never-ending chaotic cycle of miscommunication, unmet expectations, confusion, hurt, and misunderstanding that come with the pursuit of genuine relationship when goals are fundamentally unaligned. We also wanted the push-and-pull nature of the production and composition to reflect that tension as much as possible, so we spent a lot of time in the studio balancing the more traditional dynamic rock elements with the more subtle electronics and ambient, atmospheric moments to really emphasize the overall dynamics of the track, especially leading up to the song’s climax.

If you’re enjoying the early listen to “A Liar!”, please consider pre-saving the band’s debut EP, Thriving Season (that releases on September 26th) here.

Kashena Sampson – “Ghost Of Me” (Song Premiere)

Kashena Sampson
Adam Grundy

Today I’m thrilled to share with everyone the lush and vibrant new single from singer-songwriter, Kashena Sampson, called “Ghost Of Me.” This Nashville-based artist is storming onto the scene armed with a psychedelic-indie folk rock sound that is sure to leave you breathless. Sampson’s new album, which is also called Ghost of Me, arrives on October 3rd, and will be this ultra-talented songwriter’s third full-length record to date. Kashena Sampson shared, “Besides being a musician, I have also been a bartender at a music venue for the past 10 years to pay my bills. It’s a great job, but there are some nights that feel like my heart is breaking. Watching others live out the exact dream I’m still chasing, night after night. Having to put a smile on my face and serve industry people who’ve passed on me can be rough, and I can get real down on myself about it sometimes. ‘Ghost Of Me’ is about those moments. The times when I question my worth, and the internal struggle of not being where I would like to be in my music career. It’s about not giving up on my dreams even though at times it feels like it’s killing me.” If you’re enjoying the new single, please consider pre-ordering/pre-saving Ghost of Me here.

Banquets – “Episodes” (Song Premiere)

Banquets
Adam Grundy

Today is a great day to share an early listen to the New Jersey 4-piece emo band, Banquets, new single called “Episodes.” The last we heard from Banquets, they announced their third and final LP, Spit at the Sun. The Jersey City quartet had decided to hang it up after years of shows and several releases with Black Numbers. They played their final show in February of 2016 and the members went their separate ways, parting on good terms but with the understanding that the realities of life made it difficult to carry the banner any further. Today marks a new chapter in Banquets story, as lead vocalist/guitarist Travis shared:

The song ‘Episodes’ takes the form of a letter to my former self. It acts as a reflection of how I’ve hurt and let others down. I’ve squandered some truly remarkable moments by not being fully present. Days and nights were more episodic. Like a malnourished Zack Morris, I’m trudging through a Belgian field looking for a chance to swipe some Jagermeister at Groezrock. Then I’m punishing random people with Nesquik Bunny references and making everyone stage-dive in between Lifetime songs. Cap off the episode by time-traveling during a Lagwagon set, and watching Rancid from behind my eyelids in a Sprinter. Sounds cool. Wish I was there.

Banquets fit somewhere within the artistic realm of Jimmy Eat World, Hot Rod Circuit, and The Menzingers, and they’re quickly re-cementing themselves as a key artist to watch as this year unfolds. If you’re enjoying the new single, please consider pre-ordering Banquets’ new record, Petty Relics, that will be released via Black Numbers on October 17th here.

Tokyo Rose
Adam Grundy

Today I’m so excited to share the new bonus track/visualizer video from 00’s emo band, Tokyo Rose, that comes from their breakthrough record of called New American Saint, with “Philadelphia in the Springtime.” The band is also excited to announce their signing to the label of Manic Kat Records, and the deluxe version of New American Saint releases this Friday. Lead vocalist Ryan Dominguez shared:

I never imagined anything I did 20 years ago would ever be remembered, let alone be regarded fondly enough by anyone, other than the very small handful of people who were involved with it at the time, to be remastered and re-released 2 decades after the fact. But somehow Peter and the team at Manic Kat pulled a vinyl rabbit out of their magic hat, called “New American Saint: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Re-Mastered Edition

If you’re enjoying the newly released single, please consider staying tuned to Tokyo Rose’s Manic Kat Records page here.

Blonde Otter
Adam Grundy

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the new single from Brooklyn-based rock band, Blonde Otter, called “Your Number.” In this cool-looking lyric video for the single, Blonde Otter tackles staying connected in an AI-driven world, while still staying human in this environment. The band shared:

”Your Number” delves into the complexities of modern digital communication, exploring the superficiality of online interactions and the yearning for genuine human connection amidst the pervasive influence of data and AI. Our forthcoming album, from which ‘Your Number’ is the first single, marks a significant evolution for us, moving into broader political and societal themes that reflect our struggle to create amidst contemporary pressures. We are simply just part of the New York experience.

If you’re enjoying the early listen, please consider staying connected with the band here.

Chinese Junk – “Shut Up About the USA”

Chinese Junk
Adam Grundy

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the hook-laden new single from UK punk rock band, Chinese Junk, that has a blistering take on the current political landscape called “Shut Up About The USA.” These punk rockers are coming in hot with some slick guitar-driven garage punk rock with meaning. Whether you’re tossing beers in your basement or screaming down a dirt road at 100 mph, this split (called Talk Trash w/ Gino & The Goons and Chinese Junk) that releases this Friday, will deliver the anxiety ridden chaos your soul craves. The sound of sweat filled shows and sweat soaked rebellion – get it while it’s still dripping on Big Neck Records. Band member Ben Nuthink shared:

I’ve got a few friends that are lucky enough to be able to afford to go to the USA on holiday pretty regularly. I can’t afford to, so it’s probably partly written as a case of sour grapes but also me having a bit of fun with it. I figured I’d write a song referring to all the stereotypes of the USA that I could think of to fill two verses. I mention cops in donut shops which funnily enough, I also mention in a song on our first album. The references are mostly good things. Americans do everything bigger than the rest of the world so it’s pointing that out too. The ‘Shut Up…’ lyric in the chorus is me saying to stop rubbing in that you’ve been there AGAIN and I haven’t for years!

If you’re enjoying the new single, please consider picking up the split record via Big Neck Records, here.
