up, but Joan still loves it, and she’s in charge.

Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine

Oklahoma‘s rock champs, THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS, haven’t been
quite as active during their 27-year journey. So far, only 4 full-lengths.
But wait, as they announced recently, they worked their butt off for
a new one, named SANDBOX. It’ll see the day of light on May 15th.
Ahead of it they present a taster called KING KONG.
Tyson Ritter (frontman) who left Los Angeles: “I’m from a small town in Oklahoma, and I moved back home. When I got to LA, I fell into an interesting crowd. It was the quintessential, ‘I’m in LA in my 20s and early 30s’ life. It’s a town where everyone is chasing the same industry. There’s no real life about it for me that I experienced until I left.”
Sounds like if King Kong is a pretty
good boy who just wanna rock out.
What about you?
Top singles from the past
21 April 2026
The late great TOM PETTY and his HEARTBREAKERS
released their single THE WAITING 45 years ago, on
20 April 1981.
It featured on their 4th LP, Hard Promises.
The song reached #19 in the US.
Petty said at the time that the song’s title was inspired by a quote from Janis Joplin,
who once said of touring, “I love being onstage and everything else is just waiting.”
After taking 2025 off, FORM festival in Arcosanti, Arizona returns this year in October.
Daily electricity to load your batteries

Band: MY LENNIS
Who: 4 Belgian misfits fueled by fast guitars, catchy choruses,
and loads of energy. Modern punk with a nod to the 90s scene.
Track: EMPIRE JUNKIES
First single from their upcoming EP.
The song is about a world in uncertainty and conflict, in which powerful leaders try
to exert control at the expense of ordinary people. It describes feelings of frustration, distrust, and resistance against political manipulation, economic pressure, and warmongering.
At the same time, it calls for action: no longer remaining silent, but standing up
together, making a statement and offering resistance, while the world watches.
TUTV: After an eruptive intro that brings the equally explosive intro of The Damned‘s
1977 steamroller New Rose to mind, these Belgian noiseniks fulminate like Jello Biafra
and The Dead Kennedys used to do when they unleashed their politically outspoken
blood-and-guts aggravation.
My Lennis storm from start to finish on this rapid-fire riff-ripper, propelled by their fast and furious vocalist, who’s backed by a tempestuous guitar-bass-drum artillery. To hell with all narcissist megalomaniacs who fuck up the world these days. Action required.
Here. Now.

Band: THE BUG CLUB
Who: Welsh garage rock outfit launched in 2016 by brothers
Sam and Ross Willmett and Tilly Harris and now reduced to
the duo of Sam and Tilly.
New Album: EVERY SINGLE MUSCLE
Their 5th. Out on May 29th.
Tracklist & order info here.
Press info: “This record’s an exercise in efficient maximalism – the musical equivalent
of your dad packing the car for a holiday. Bring what you like; space is tight but they’ll
get it in there somehow. The Bug Club seem almost suspicious of the concept of being
a person – as if they’ve woken up in a costume they didn’t want to put on and cannot
take off.
Is three the magic number? Probably not. But Every Single Muscle – Sub Pop album number three for band, comes close enough to convince your average strange human person that it might be.”
Get into the two, so far shared,
punked-up sucker-punchers,
right here.

I said, “Pull over, nigga, pull over, man”
I said, “Pull over, I’m just tryna get to know her, man”
I said, “Pull over, nigga, pull over, man”
