Song Premiere | Dan Greenleaf, “Opening Theme”

1 week ago | ghettoblastermagazine.com | Tommy Johnson

Dan Greenleaf, a Vermont-born guitarist and composer, embraces the unique challenges and strengths that shape his playing, including the influence of his cerebral palsy on his approach to the instrument. Live at Ford Hall, Greenleaf’s debut album, represents an unfiltered self-portrait of an artist fully embracing his musical voice. “This is as close as I could get to who I am right now,” Greenleaf explains.
New Music | Friday Roll Out: Iron Lung, Datura, Tunde Adebimpe, Melvins 1983

FAFO is probably the acronym that I’ve been relatively happy to have come across in the past few months. I’m not sure why it’s never been used up until more recently but yeah, it’s a good one. When I think of the post-hardcore outfit Iron Lung, that’s what comes to mind.
New Music | Friday Roll Out: Mamalarky, Dead Pioneers

With Hex Key (Epitaph), the third long-player by Atlanta-by-way-of-Los-Angeles-by-way-of-Austin Mamalarky, the group doesn’t stray from its pop sensibilities.

Los Angeles hip-hop trailblazers The Pharcyde present the 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE-directed music video for “Timeless,” the Rick Rock-produced title track to the group’s new release coming May 2 on 88rising. The single marks the official reunion of Imani, Slimkid3, and Fatlip, and leads a project created in collaboration with RCA Records and 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE, a collective known for genre-defying cross-generational work.
New Music | Friday Roll Out: Momma, Dauber, Miki Berenyi Trio, L.A. Witch, Craig Finn

Oh that L.A. Witch returns with its third full-length release Doggod (Suicide Squeeze Records), a palindrome and ancient Scottish word meaning “do-gooder.” Yes, I did my research. Now with the band’s new album, much has remained the same while it’s translated into the group’s sound that’s showing a progression. When I say things have remained the same, I’m generalizing to the fact L.A. Witch, Sade Sanchez, Ellie English, and Irita Pai, continue on its gloomy, boozy garage rock pace it has been on.
New Music | Friday Roll Out: CocoRosie, Oddateee, Kingdom Kome & Onaje Jordan

4 weeks ago | ghettoblastermagazine.com | Eddie Ugarte

It seems we get a new CocoRosie album every five years or so. The band of sisters Bianca Casady and Sierra Casady have always delivered what we all might believe are delicate songs but these two are far more durable than we’d originally thought. With the band’s eight full-length release, Little Death Wishes (Joyful Noise), CocoRosie allows us further in, to see a fiery version of itself.
Pixel Grip Returns With Single "Split"

1 month ago | ghettoblastermagazine.com | Diego Flores

Chicago’s underground electronic trio Pixel Grip, comprised of Rita Lukea (vocals), Jonathon Freund (synth), and Tyler Ommen (drums), is back, unveiling their latest single, “Split”. A high-energy track layered with raw emotion and a triple entendre that explores the fractures of broken relationships, betrayal, and mental health.
New Music | Friday Roll Out: Clipping, Young Widows, Intensive Care/The Body

The weather has taken quite a turn around me with winds speeding by as the rain angles off in a variety of directions. I thought there were rumblings coming from outside as well but then quickly realized the thundering wasn’t coming from out there but from inside my headphones. Was I Good Enough? is the collaborative effort between Rhode Island’s The Body and Toronto’s Intensive Care.
New Music | Friday Roll Out: Bob Mould, Swervedriver, Kinski, Frog Eyes

The great northwest has produced several groups that have fallen into obscurity never to be seen again but then some refuse to go gently into that good night. So many artists have fallen to darkness but there are those that some of us refuse to just let go of because there’s no ignoring great music. Now while Seattle’s post-punk rockers Kinski has shown no signs of slowing down Stumbledown Terrace (Comedy Minus One) is the group’s first release in 7 years.

Independence is important. This is something that becomes more and more relevant in various ways. Artists have the freedom to conjure up innumerable releases with the freedom of not having to answer to anyone. But it can also be a complication filled with stumbling blocks. It’s easy to share something with the world at the last possible moment although faced with the drawback of publicity. Yes, those are two different things.
