Big Freedia's forthcoming EP, 3rd Ward Bounce, features this outrageously fun '80s rap-rock resurrection.

One year after its debut, Wild Pink is already back with Yolk in the Fur, drawing more elastic textures out of the sensitively-drawn rock trio.

The Philly-based songwriter navigates late-night Laurel Canyon-style fare, country-tinged ballads and moody soft-rock with an ear for piercing textures.

Karen Peris thumbs through a simple image like the thistles on a brush, dips it in ochres and greens to paint quiet beauties with the softest touch.

Like love and sunsets, Musgraves' new video captures the moments of a broken relationship in fuzzy shades of color.

For the "Dance AM" video, the St. Petersburg trio was inspired by both Bruegel's landscapes and the early 3D animation of video games.

For Brandon Williams, heavy music functions as a way to ponder heavy ideas just as much as sound. Chastity's new video documents police brutality in his Ontario hometown.

Emblematic of Atlanta's eccentric '90s scene, hear the first single from The Rock*A*Teens first album in 18 years, Sixth House.

The grueling, noise-punctured punk band amplifies the "marginalized majority" on its new EP.

Over a decade-and-a-half after Dopesmoker, the stoner-metal band makes good on its "amalgamated effort of decades of riff immersion."

The Swedish singer is a pop star, but she doesn't necessarily make pop music. Listen to two singles from her upcoming album, so sad so sexy.

Like the Thing revving up to smack down, Rat the Magnificent will clobber bluesy noise-rock on its upcoming debut album, The Body as Pleasure.

The first single from the metal band's fourth album, Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, offers a gift for the patient Deafheaven listener.

Pulsing a thick and menacing atmosphere, Maenad Veyl's industrial noise demands your body to move.

The first single from Daddy lulls you into the Louisville duo's self-deprecating, surf-inspired punk — before tearing you apart.

Of course there's a hulu hoop artist named Miss Hoopdidoo. She dances to the finger-tapped guitar and crashing bass of the L.A. band's spindly track.

The Breeders' dreamy scuzz sounds wiser and more frazzled at the Tiny Desk, featuring the same lineup behind the band's breakout, 1993 album Last Splash.

The Paramore drummer coalesces his sunny, rhythmically rich psychedelic-pop tendencies on a new solo EP.

The anonymous grindcore band opens its membership to the punk community — Laura Jane Grace, Marissa Paternoster, Alice Bag, Shirley Manson — to defend and extol queer and trans survival.

Stephanie Richards' trumpet sounds like deep space wrapped around your head, a flood in the endless void.
