    Some absolutely Earth-shaking death metal coming from Massacre on this new “Succumb to Rapture” 7″, which is set for a July 30th release via Century Media. Though this track is new, the band isn’t. Massacre’s place in the world of death metal isn’t large, but their catalog

    A new track from the grimy, dark beatmaster himself, the Gaslamp Killer. Last I heard of this guy, he was producing Gonjasufi’s a Sufi and a Killer, and putting out an EP that I reviewed pretty well. I’m excited to hear that on Sept. 18th, he’s gonna

    Visuals for the new Jeremiah Jae single, “Money,” which is out now via Brainfeeder. While we all need money to live, this new track from Jae serves as a reminder of how joyless the pursuit of it can be. Dark, understated, and pretty moving. This track comes from Jae’s

    There’s no question about it: Blur is back! While it may be a while before Damon Albarn works to release another Gorillaz album, it’s great that he’s diversifying his repertoire with a solo album, production on that Bobby Womack album, and now these new tracks that are

  • [audio:http://www.scjag.com/mp3/do/youaretheone.mp3] OK, I’ll admit it, I haven’t given Place to Bury Strangers’ new album, Worship, an honest chance yet. Honestly, it’s got a lot to do with me being lukewarm on the band’s last EP; however, I’m

    A clean, crisp music video for a fantastic piece of vocal pop from Jessie Ware’s forthcoming debut album, Devotion, which will be out on August 13th via PMR Records. Check the track listing here. While I wasn’t 100% impressed with her vocal contributions on that awesome SBTRKT album
