Treble Zine

Our goal is to explore a broad range of music genres, including electronic, punk, metal, and hip-hop, with a strong emphasis on independent and underground artists. Treble is not limited to a single perspective; rather, it is a diverse community of individuals with varying opinions and ideas. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment, both in the topics we cover and the contributors we collaborate with, as we firmly believe that bigotry, racism, and misogyny have no place in the future of music. Each week, we introduce new features and articles about music, including interviews with artists, career retrospectives, personal stories about music, and much more. Our approach is to examine music from different angles, which is why we continuously add fresh columns and features to our lineup. Treble thrives because its team is united by a shared passion for music and a love for writing about it.

Youth Code : Yours, With Malice

1 week ago | treblezine.com | Adam Blyweiss

The electronic body music (EBM) movement is a decidedly un-American affair, in that most notable EBM has come from artists and countries outside of the United States. With Nine Inch Nails having graduated to superstar status from their industrial beginnings, and other bands like clipping.
Keith Hudson : Flesh of My Skin, Blood of My Blood

1 week ago | treblezine.com | Jeff Terich

“Hunting,” the track that opens Keith Hudson’s 1974 album Flesh of My Skin, Blood of My Blood, probably doesn’t sound like any reggae song you’ve heard. It certainly doesn’t sound like many I’ve heard, its intoxicating and mysterious lo-fi swirl of psychedelia a kind of genre unto itself. It’s under two and a half minutes long but endlessly rich, atmospheric but rendered unrelentingly heavy by the sheer density of its bass—the kind of low-end blowout that would put any soundsystem to the test.
Stereolab : Instant Holograms on Metal Film

1 week ago | treblezine.com | Jeff Terich

Stereolab spent the better part of two decades reshaping their pleasantly pliable and mellifluous indie pop, but in the beginning, at least, things were much simpler. The noise pop songs on their debut album Peng! and singles collected on the early compilation Switched On comprised one-note drones played on buzzing Farfisa organ over hypnotic Neu!- and Velvet Underground-informed pulses.
Pachyman : Another Place

1 week ago | treblezine.com | John-Paul Shiver

The late Lee “Scratch” Perry, a vocalist, musician, studio god, dub creator, and Godfather of Reggae, once told an interviewer that he was 75,000 years old and came from the planet Sirius. Perry had a lifetime full of antics. He liked to talk, spout gibberish, and add to the larger-than-life legacy he’s accrued, but he was no fool.
Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke : Tall Tales

1 week ago | treblezine.com | Adam Blyweiss

One of the regular riffs on Radiohead is that they’re The Most Relentlessly Serious Band in the World. I mean, other contemporary contenders have at least put up a facade of an alternative, right? U2 had a bunch of fun little moments during their electro/industrial phase in the ‘90s, for example, and Rage Against the Machine’s politicized catalog is rife with glorious catharsis.
Hear L.A. shoegazers Shaki Tavi's crunchy new single "Breaker"

1 week ago | treblezine.com | Jeff Terich

On August 15, Los Angeles shoegaze group Shaki Tavi will release new album Minor Slip via felte. And today, they’ve shared a new video for “Breaker,” which is the second single from the album. The clip is directed by Sean Stout and features the group’s leader Leon Manson crawling on a checkered floor, frolicking in a field and other fitting visuals to go with its propulsive, hazy sound.
Alan Sparhawk : Trampled by Turtles | Album review | Treble

1 week ago | treblezine.com | Jeff Terich

At the center of White Roses, My God, Alan Sparhawk‘s electronics-driven solo album and first release since the end of Low and the death of his longtime partner Mimi Parker, is a one-minute meditation called “Heaven.” Through an Auto-Tune filter and a sparse backing of synths and programmed beats, Sparhawk offers a reflection on grief that’s poignant in its simplicity, reflecting not just on the empty space left behind after the loss of a loved one, but the same negative space that follows...
Cole Pulice : Land's End Eternal

1 week ago | treblezine.com | Ernesto Aguilar

Cole Pulice’s Land’s End Eternal arrives as a lush exploration of space—not the galactic kind, but a musical one, somewhere between ambient jazz and experimental. The Oakland-based saxophonist, known for creating immersive atmospheres, invites listeners into a world brimming with delicate vibrations and a serene yet unfamiliar kind of beauty.
Bleed : Bleed - Treble

2 weeks ago | treblezine.com | Michael Pementel

Dallas, Texas’ Bleed first made waves with their 2021 EP, Somebody’s Closer, with a sound that evoked the thick guitars of ‘90s/early 2000s nu-metal and alternative rock. And while various stylistic touches reminiscent of those eras are indeed easy to detect, Bleed build something more substantial than mere pastiche. For as much as they draw from ‘90s/ 2000s metal and alt rock, they use those elements to craft shoegaze-centric riffs that harbor enchanting melodies.
Club Night : Joy Coming Down

2 weeks ago | treblezine.com | Kurt Orzeck

Oakland indie-rock band Club Night—the latest in a long line of bands with unmarketable names—took a seemingly inauspicious six years to dish up the successor to 2019’s What Life. But as they return with their second record, the irresistibly fresh Joy Coming Down, via Tiny Engines, it won’t take more than a few seconds after the needle hits the vinyl before listeners realize it was well worth the wait.
