The Rolling Stones – Foreign Tongues

Rolling Stones - The Foreign Tongues The release of Foreign Tongues proves that the creative surge fueling 2023’s Hackney Diamonds was no fluke. Rather than resting on the multi-platinum laurels of their Grammy-winning comeback, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood retreated to West London's Metropolis Studios with producer Andrew Watt to deliver a 14-track follow-up that sounds remarkably urgent. Clocking in at just over 62 minutes, Foreign Tongues avoids the trap of a safe, late-career victory lap. Instead, it […]

Foo Fighters – Your Favorite Toy

Foo Fighters – Your Favorite Toy (Roswell/RCA Records) That return to a more visceral, instinctive drive is felt the second the needle drops. Forget the polished, multi-layered perfection of the band's recent eras; Your Favorite Toy is an urgent, raw, and beautifully imperfect record. Co-produced by the band alongside engineer Oliver Roman, the album sounds as if they stripped away the studio gloss to reveal the rough-hewn wood underneath. The instruments bleed into one another, the vocals flirt with red-lined […]

Big Nothing – Big Nothing

Release Date: June, 29 -  2026 Label: Dead Broke Records There’s a specific kind of magic in a great "basement pop" record. It doesn't need slick, high-gloss production to work; it just needs a ton of heart, massive hooks, and the kind of warmth that makes you feel like you’re crammed into a house show with fifty of your closest friends. That’s exactly what Philadelphia’s Big Nothing delivers on their self-titled third album. Following up on 2022's Dog Hours, the […]

Unlettered – Devil’s Bowl

Release Date: June 26, 2026 Label: Self-Released Devil’s Bowl is the second studio album by Unlettered, the experimental post-punk project spearheaded by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mike Knowlton (Gapeseed, Poem Rocket). Moving away from the deeply personal themes of grief that defined their 2024 debut Five Mile Point, this record delivers a gritty, calculated look at modern civic paranoia and digital exhaustion. Recorded at Knowlton’s studio, The Swamp, in Florida, the album rejects commercial polish in favor of a raw, claustrophobic […]

Knitting – Souvenir

Knitting – Souvenir release date June, 27 - 2026 Montreal-based outfit Knitting clearly love the sound of their guitars. This was already fully evident on their 2024 debut, Some Kind of Heaven, but simply labeling them as just another "slacker rock" band would be a massive misnomer—especially after listening to their latest offering, Souvenir. On Souvenir, the band delivers a highly detailed and nuanced guitar-driven landscape. Their signature sound is a masterclass in dynamic tension: meticulously built up, intricately stripped […]

Beth Orton – The Ground Above (2026)

  Release Date: June 25, 2026 If we strip away the cosmic mythology that often surrounds Beth Orton's three-decade career, The Ground Abovereveals itself as something far more valuable: a profoundly human record. Acting as her own producer once again—following the formula of her 2022 breakthrough Weather Alive—Orton has crafted an album that feels urgent, raw, and entirely embodied. Where past works might have drifted into hazy abstraction, this record trades distant frequencies for a fierce, immediate presence. The Production […]

  Release Date: June 19, 2026 Husband-and-wife duo Grace and Aaron Bond have built a towering reputation on a fierce, DIY independent streak.They've defied the traditional music industry roadmap, bypassing labels and corporate management to break into the UK Official Top 10 entirely on their own terms. Following 2025’s Addicted To You—a chart-topping release celebrated for its expansive, polished studio sheen—the band found themselves at a creative crossroads. (from MNPR Magazine) Instead of continuing down the path of clean, radio-friendly […]

Placebo – Re:Created (2026)

By looking at their foundational music through the lens of three decades of live performance experience, the band bridges the gap between their origins and their present day. The Sonic Balance The core […]
