Mean Jeans might just be the masters of mixing the ridiculous with the sublime. That’s kind of been their thing since forming in Portland, Oregon in 2006. Though now spread out around the US, the trio of Billy Jeans, Jeans Wilder, and Junior Jeans (you can guess whether those are their real names or not) have never hidden their love of the Ramones, pop-punk, or youthful, reckless abandon. “Lost My Mind,” the latest single from the trio’s forthcoming sixth album, Blasted, has all of those in spades.

Beyond his experimental work alongside a couple of other Kinsellas in Joan of Arc dating back to the late-’90s, Nate Kinsella has long used the Birthmark moniker as a solo exploration of more personal themes. Between 2008 and 2015, Kinsella released four records balancing the art-pop proclivities his cousins’ band gave into by the mid-2000s with tales from his own life.

Much in the same way Squid—their left-field post-punk peers in the UK—did, Yard Act closed out a monumental 2023 with a short but sweet tour of East Asia, hitting Bangkok, Hong Kong, Osaka, and Tokyo within the span of a week. Yet unlike Squid, who were supporting the sophomore album they’d released midway through the year, Yard Act were getting audiences hyped for the release of their own then-recently announced second LP, Where’s My Utopia?, which will be landing March 1 via Island Records.

The ’00s indie nostalgia fest will return to Pasadena for its fourth year on May 18. It isn’t hard to believe that Ben Gibbard’s dual-role joint headlining tour in support of two classic 2003 albums from Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service was able to pack stadium venues last fall—it is surprising that Gibbard has the stamina to conquer another dozen or so this spring when he reboots the shows.
