Since their formation in 1978, they have become known around the world for their influential contribution to the origins and continued legacy of the doom metal and underground hard rock genres. The distinctive vocals and guitar wizardry of founder and driving force Scott “Wino” Weinrich has left a mark on the world of heavy music that continues to inspire.
The Obsessed gained momentum in the Baltimore/DC area of the USA in the early to mid 1980’s during the height of the hardcore punk movement. Often cited as the band that bridged heavy metal and punk together, the band gained the respect of punk heavy weight contemporaries Black Flag, The Bad Brains, and Minor Threat, to name a few. The attitude and spirit of The Obsessed has led many to regard them as “America’s Motorhead”.
Wino went on to join the doom metal giants Saint Vitus as lead singer on seminal albums including 1986’s ‘Born Too Late’‘. In 1990, The Obsessed came back with their eponymous debut album, “The Obsessed”. This album was quickly followed by 1991’s “Lunar Womb” and 1994’s “The Church within.
The band then signed with Relapse Records and recorded 2017’s “Sacred”, an album showing The Obsessed were back with pure vengeance. Sacred brought the band to venues and festival stages around the world.
In 2022 the band became a four piece with the addition of Chris Angleberger on bass and Jason Taylor on guitar. The band has been touring heavily since and have been seen on USA and European festival stages such as HellFest, Freak Valley Festival, Snowblind Festival and multiple DesertFests.
The band’s 2024 album, Gilded Sorrow, on Ripple Music, marked a new chapter in their legacy. The album captures the essence of the band’s classic sound while adding a fresh new atmosphere with a dual guitar attack. In 2025, Bob Pantella (The Atomic Bitchwax, Monster Magnet, Raging Slab) joined The Obsessed on drums. To quote Wino, “This is the strongest The Obsessed has ever been. We are geared up and ready to play. We will be hitting your city soon!”

Jordana’s music has always possessed a unique sense of place.
You can hear the stillness of a Kansas bedroom on her 2020 debut Classical Notions… Humid late night New York walks on her double EP Something To Say To You. There’s the kaleidoscopic otherworldliness of Summer’s Over, her collab release with TV Girl. The unmistakable sunshine of LA on 2024’s Lively Premonitions. But on her new semi self-titled project, Jordanaland, the 25-year-old songwriter has officially crafted a place all her own.
“Jordanaland is definitely an escape from Americaland. It looks a lot like LA in the videos…for some reason. Weird,” muses Jordana. “But it’s wherever you want it to be, just close your eyes.”

People discover Chuck Ragan in different ways. Some people know Ragan from the pioneering punk act Hot Water Music he’s co-fronted for the past three decades. Others are aware of his successful solo career or the Revival Tour, a collection of traveling troubadours that included his peers like Frank Turner and the Gaslight Anthem’s Brian Fallon. Some folks may have even come across him from the successful fly fishing operation he runs out of Grass Valley, California. The one throughline through all this is the way that Ragan approaches everything with a level of honesty and integrity that can’t be faked—and that sentiment is undeniable on Love And Lore, his first solo collection in ten years and one that’s being released as Hot Water Music take a well-deserved victory lap for their breakout album Vows, which came out earlier this year.

Throwing Muses released their new album ‘Moonlight Concessions’ in 2025 via Fire Records. The album follows their acclaimed ‘Sun Racket’ from 2020, a heady set filled with tough and tender tales spiked with surreal imagery. ‘Moonlight Concessions’ goes back to basics, a return for Throwing Muses to their esoteric off-kilter best courtesy of Kristin Hersh’s pin-sharp sketches and their suitably abrasive musical arrangements, a collection of snippets from everyday life writ large – think Raymond Carver Short Cuts, overheard conversations, recounted happenings and telling one-liners, all sewed together to illustrate the times as they slowly mature, fully peppered with original Muses’ vim and vigour. Following a string of packed shows across Europe in Spring and Summer 2025, these shows are Throwing Muses’ first U.S. appearances in over a decade.
With nearly 40 years of Muses’ history behind her, Kristin Hersh continues to be one of the most compelling voices in American rock — a fiercely original songwriter and a magnetic live performer.

After a decade of relentless touring and recording in all but complete obscurity, the Texas-bred/New York-based quasi-collective suddenly found itself held up by the press and public as one of the major figures in the jazz world. But as the category names for all five of the band’s Grammy® awards would indicate (Best R&B Performance in 2014, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2016, 2017, 2021, and 2023), Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s not a fusion band, and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.”
Snarky Puppy is a collective of sorts with as many as 25 members in regular rotation. They each maintain busy schedules as sidemen (with such artists as Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and D’Angelo), producers (for Kirk Franklin, David Crosby, and Salif Keïta), and solo artists (many of whom are on the band’s indy label, GroundUP Music). At its core, the band represents the convergence of both black and white American music culture with various accents from around the world. Japan, Argentina, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico all have representation in the group’s membership. But more than the cultural diversity of the individual players, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy’s music is the joy of performing together in the perpetual push to grow creatively.

Frog is a 2-3 person guitar band from the swamp in New Rochelle, NY. They issued their self-titled debut mini-album “Frog” on Brooklyn’s now-defunct Monkfish Records, which Gold Flake Paint called “The best American guitar record of the year. Seriously. It’s like every cult band from the past decade bottled into half an hour of music.” The duo returned in 2015 with their highly acclaimed debut LP “Kind of Blah” on the UK’s Audio Antihero Records, which included the fan-favorite singles “Judy Garland” and “Photograph.” Frog promoted the album with a tour of the UK, which was later documented in the 2018 film ‘Kings of Blah’. In November 2018, they issued their long-awaited follow-up, “Whatever We Probably Already Had It” mini-LP on Audio Antihero. This was followed in August 2019 with the freak-folk opus “Count Bateman,” featuring the sleeper stoner hit single, “You Know I’m Down.”

No Need To Be Lonely, the latest from Philadelphia band Gladie, is serene, but for only just a moment. For a moment it’s a swirling dream, like paper dancing in the wind, as Augusta Koch’s voice filters in all calm and measured with words that crack the surface of the heart. “Small dose of humiliation/it keeps me humble/it keeps me waiting,” she sings. And then a snap as incandescent rhythms arrive like wolves at the gate, all guitar and drums like a whirling storm, and the crack on the heart tears until it becomes an ocean.
Each minute on No Need To Be Lonely is a memory carried out on the nerves of the body, unshakable melodies that become blood in the veins. There is something about a good and perfect song that lives in your bones, as if it has become a part of you. What has long been the unshakable core of Gladie’s prowess is Koch’s indelible strength as a songwriter, a craft that has only been honed with time, creating inalienable hits that will burrow in and never leave the core of your memories.

Glixen is a Phoenix-based shoegaze band formed in 2020, made up of vocalist/guitarist Aislinn Ritchie, guitarist Esteban Santana, bassist Sonia Garcia, and drummer Keire Johnson. Arriving as a standout force in the American shoegaze renaissance, Glixen blends heavy, textured soundscapes with dreamy, ethereal vocals—crafting music that nods to the genre’s roots while sounding distinctly modern.
Their sound draws from a wide range of influences, including My Bloody Valentine, Björk, t.A.T.u., Godflesh, and Hum, resulting in songs that balance intensity and introspection. Aislinn’s lulling vocal delivery floats over walls of distortion and reverb, creating a striking contrast that defines the band’s sonic identity.
In 2024, Glixen released their sophomore EP, quiet pleasures, produced by Sonny DiPerri (DIIV, My Bloody Valentine) and mastered by Dave Cooley (Paramore, Rancid). Recorded at Pale Moon Ranch in Juniper Hills, CA, the five-track release showcases their growth—melding syrupy melodies, heartfelt lyricism, and dense guitar work into a deeply emotional and immersive experience.
Glixen has toured with Interpol, DIIV, and Softcult, and made their Coachella debut in 2025, cementing their place at the forefront of the genre. Their name, taken from a lovesliescrushing song, speaks to their deep connection to shoegaze’s dreamy, otherworldly spirit—while forging a sound that is unmistakably their own.
Carnival, the new EP from trauma ray, finds the Fort Worth band capturing some of their strongest, most intense, and exploratory work within the boundaries of a whirlwind year. The breakout success of Chameleon, their 2024 debut on Dais Records, further established trauma ray amidst the current wave of shoegaze revivalists, yet increasingly agile, able to weave between scenes, touring throughout 2025 with the likes of Deafheaven, Loathe, and Touché Amoré. A confluence of blitzing riffs and stark beauty, their sound continues to evolve, nodding to loud-quiet-loud greats across metal, grunge, and shoegaze from Slowdive to Smashing Pumpkins. Carnival delves into moodier, more cerebral material, like holding their past excursions against a funhouse mirror. There’s a distinct sense of unease in these songs, built as a band in a fleeting window of time, proving they work best under pressure and when pulling from the darkest corners of their subconscious.

Afie Jurvanen does not spend too much time in cities these days. For nearly two decades, Jurvanen was a fixture of the Toronto scene, both as a valued multi-instrumentalist and producer for friends like Feist, The Weather Station, and Kathleen Edwards and as the architect of one of his country’s most celebrated artists, Bahamas. Jurvanen came of age across Bahamas’ first six albums, the restlessness of jumpy early hits like Pink Strat and Barchords slowly shifting into the generous domesticity of 2023’s Bootcut. But Jurvanen has long been drawn to open spaces, to a quieter life. In 2009, the year of his aforementioned debut, he began visiting Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Ocean. Over the next decade, his trips became more consistent, then more frequent, and then longer, until, in 2019, Jurvanen and his family of four finally made the move—nearly 2,000 kilometers northeast, to Nova Scotia. They live a lifestyle, Jurvanen half-jokes, that is “close to Mennonite.” The kids are homeschooled. No one has an iPad. Text messages can feel like miracles.

In 1977, The Avengers established themselves as one of the US’s preeminent punk bands. Fusing incisive guitar hooks, explosive rhythms, and adolescent venom, the group forged some of the most in-your-face songs of the era. Classics like “We Are the One” and “The American in Me” earned them a spot opening for the Sex Pistols at their final performance at Winterland, as well as a dedicated following that has only swelled during the subsequent years. The number of musicians that count themselves indebted to the sneering indictments of vocalist Penelope Houston and the eviscerating chords of guitarist Greg Ingraham cannot be overstated. The current line up includes rock-solid bassist Joel Reader (MTX) and the exhilarating drumming of Luis Illades (Pansy Division). While much has been written about The Avengers in the past four decades, rock critic Greil Marcus puts it succinctly, “The word I always come back to is mystical, and that remains almost theirs alone.”

Michael Angelakos started Passion Pit in college as nothing more than a way to make his friends dance.
The first iteration of the band formed in 2007, consisting of Ian Hultquist, Ayad Al Adhamy, Jeff Apruzzese, and Nate Donmoyer. They played small sold-out shows around Boston, and were named Best New Band by the Boston Phoenix. Passion Pit’s debut EP, ‘Chunk of Change’, was self-released in 2008. The EP’s sole single, ‘Sleepyhead’, written by Angelakos in under 2 hours, became an iconic track of the aughts and has been certified 2x Platinum. The song was later featured on Passion Pit’s first full-length studio album, ‘Manners’, released in May of 2009. Following the release of ‘Manners’, Passion Pit became a festival staple and a fan-favorite live act.
Passion Pit’s 2nd full-length album, ‘Gossamer’, was released in July of 2012. The album received much critical acclaim, reaching #4 on the US Billboard charts. The album’s lead single, ‘Take a Walk’, has been certified 2x Platinum in the US. As Rolling Stone wrote in naming ‘Take A Walk’ the 3rd best song of 2012: “…you are reminded why pop songs exist: to help mute the
pain.”
Three years later, Passion Pit released ‘Kindred’, peaking at #2 on the US Alternative Chart. In 2017, to raise awareness for scientific research for mental health treatment, Angelakos self-released ‘Tremendous Sea of Love’, on YouTube. The album received strong reviews from critics and fans, particularly for its masterful use of synths.
Early in his career, Angelakos became a pioneer in the music industry for being an outspoken advocate for mental health, speaking publicly about his own experience living with bipolar disorder and how the industry could support artists better.
Currently Passion Pit is led by Angelakos with Giuliano Pizzulo, Eric Scullin, Denzel Cox, and Ben Barter.

Despite its title, RATBOYS’ new album Singin’ to an Empty Chair is not defined by what’s missing. Rather, it’s the beginning of an important dialogue with a close loved one, vocalist Julia Steiner finds herself estranged from. The music on the band’s sixth studio album – its first for New West Records – fills the space that person left behind with 11 songs showcasing Ratboys at the peak of their powers — twangy, effervescent, as confident as they’ve ever been, and perhaps more emotionally interrogative than ever before. The four-piece Chicago band followed up 2023’s highly acclaimed The Window by reconvening with co-producer Chris Walla to begin tracking at a rural Wisconsin cabin before taking the songs to Steve Albini’s famed Electrical Audio studios in Chicago and later to Rosebud Studio in Evanston, Illinois. The results veer from bubbly power-pop on “Anywhere” to irresistible post-country on “Penny in the Lake,” along with heart-piercing ballads like “Just Want You to Know the Truth” and an exhilarating detour into the extraterrestrial on “Light Night Mountains All That,” which Steiner dubs the band’s mammoth “wormhole jam.” Singin’ to an Empty Chair also marks the first Ratboys album written since Steiner began therapy, which the singer/lyricist credits for the clarity found across the album’s unflinching examinations of relationship and self. Fittingly, as the album begins by extending a hand into the void, it concludes with a scene of serenity – all while weaving candid honesty, humor, chaos, and whimsy along the way. “It’s not all doom and gloom,” Steiner says. “The experience of making this record definitely gives me hope for whatever happens next.”

Picking up labels ranging from post-hardcore to shoegaze over the years, it’s reductive to try to categorize Citizen as anything other than one of the best rock bands around today. Evolving from teenagers playing local dives to a vibrant band capable of selling out theaters and hitting major festivals around the world, vocalist Mat Kerekes, guitarist Nick Hamm, bassist Eric Hamm, guitarist Mason Mercer, and drummer Ben Russin have earned their reputation as both tremendous songwriters and a must-see live act — and they do both better than ever on their new album, Calling The Dogs.
Citizen is Mat Kerekes (vocals), Nick Hamm (guitar and backing vocals), Eric Hamm (bass), Mason Mercer (guitar), and Ben Russin (drums).
