Folk-punk legends Violent Femmes hit Port Chester, New York’s Capitol Theatre on Saturday as part of their recently launched fall US tour. With no opening act, Violent Femmes kicked off their set at a nice-and-early 8:15 p.m., as the band members (minus frontman Gordon Gano) marched down the aisle of the historic theater playing various wind and percussion instruments on their way to the stage. Get Violent Femmes Tickets Here By the time they reached the stage, Gano was waiting for them with his guitar, and the Femmes soon launched into “Prove My Love,” one of nine songs they played…
Sam Wills is certainly one of the voices you can’t mistake (I remember discovering him back in 2015 on Tom Misch’s “In The Midst Of It All”). As soon as the UK singer starts singing, his melodies melt your every cell. Understandably, this is also the case with his latest, sophomore album Speak. The 12-song record, which Sam started together with Conor Albert, blurs genre lines, swinging between soul, pop, jazz, r&b, and even folk music. Sam explains the concept behind it, “I was failing to see what I had and the things I’d achieved. I was focused on my…

In the past, Zelda Williams has had no problem defending her father, the late, great Robin Williams. But after putting Eric Trump in his place back in 2020, the actress and director has a new target: AI. In a series of Instagram Stories on Monday, Williams urged the internet to “stop sending me AI videos of dad.” She continued, saying she’s “seen way worse” from trolls and described the process as a “waste of time and energy,” adding, “Believe me, it’s not what he’d want.” She went on to say that these same people are condensing people’s very lives and…
On their new release “Feel It Much?”, Dam Swindle demonstrates their signature ability to merge classic house grooves with refined, forward-thinking production. I initially discovered Dam Swindle on their remix of “You Need It” by Deep Future years ago, and have been following their journey since. “Feel It Much?” comes soon after their polished new album Open, and this release sounds like it was made to really heat up the dance-floor. From the very beginning, we’re welcome to vibrant percussion decorated throughout the rhythm section while a passionate vocal sample introduces that soulful touch. It’s really the synth works that…
Taylor Swift was the odds-on Vegas favorite to headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show. But after the NFL chose Bad Bunny, an unverified report circulated claiming that Swift had passed on the opportunity because the league refused her request to own the halftime footage. Swift addressed the report during an appearance on The Tonight Show Monday night, flatly denying its veracity. “Jay-Z [who curated the halftime show] has always been very good to me — our [business] teams are really close. They sometimes will call and say, ‘How does she feel about…And that’s not, like, an official offer or…
Drenched in blissful teen nostalgia, Mikey Demilio’s “I Dont Know How To Speak” is what happens when you mix all-time classics like Foster The People, Gorillaz and MGMT into a bowl of hazy happiness. Born and raised in New Jersey, Mikey grew up inspired by modern day psychedelia, shoegaze and electronic music, traces of which you can sense in his art. I didn’t expect to get such an emotional reaction to a song, but “I Dont Know How To Speak” brings up memories from the early Stereofox days back in 2013. I love the feeling of mellow carelessness in it…

Percussion embellishments highlight the track’s organic appeal, adding a sense of movement and texture…
Donald Trump has broken his silence on the NFL’s decision to book Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime performer, though he’s seemingly much more bothered by the league’s new kick-off rule. Newsmax host Greg Kelly teed Trump up with the question during an interview on Monday night, asking whether it was appropriate to consider boycotting the NFL based on its decision to book a musician who opposed ICE and took other positions that didn’t align with the president’s agent. “I never heard of him. I don’t know who he is. I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s…
