Ive Bands News Today

Brat, Body Void, Bonginator, Tomb Ripper, Bonemass Some men just want to watch the world burn. Other folks? Well, to get a little Alfred Pennyworth on y’all, some of them just want to listen to the world burn. And that’s what doom metal bands like Body Void provide. The extremely heavy noise that the trio creates sounds like the end of the world. It’s a brutal and unforgiving mix of clashing drums, deep bass, thundering riffs and scream singing mixed to the back on tracks so th...

Tropa Magica (L.A.) + Makenu (Humboldt cumbia) “The East L.A. duo made a name for themselves by combining alternative, grunge, and psychedelic rock with cumbia” -SPIN Magazine. Having toured nationally and performed at SoCal festival favorites Desert Daze and Tropicalia, TROPA MAGICA have released their sophomore LP to praise from music critics such as: "They’ve spread their wings sonically while losing none of the charisma that made them a hot item at festivals” -Bu...

CD Ghost, Bandit Train, August to August There’s an alluring sonic distance to the dark synth-heavy dream pop that Los Angeles duo CD Ghost produces, but it’s nothing compared to the literal distance the group has overcome. CD Ghost’s first LP (2022’s Night Music) was written during COVID times when Cody Han and Blake Dimas were split between LA and Beijing. And while they might’ve been on different continents, the guys always sounded on the same page. Mixing an atm...

Setting (members of Pelt, Califone) “Like Fripp and Eno holed up in a mountain cabin looking for UFOs, Setting’s debut is a luminous slice of kosmische Appalachia that’s like scanning the horizon until you lose all separation between earth and sky.” –Aquarium Drunkard. SETTING is a North Carolina-based trio featuring Nathan Bowles (solo/trio, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) on strings, keys, tapes, and percussion; Jaime Fennelly (Mind Over Mirrors, Peeesseye) on harmonium...

Gustaf, Pit There have already been a host of great albums released in 2024, but few of them stand out from the pack like Gustaf’s sophomore LP, Package Pt. 2. Singer Lydia Gammill instantly grabs listeners with snarling arch talk-sung vocals presented with a commanding shake-you-awake force. Throughout much of the record her vocals are mirrored and seemingly interact with deep, almost sinister vocal echoes that sound akin to a vocal filter to hide the voice of someone in witness protectio...

Ponies of Harmony Katie Belknap and James Zeller perform sweet vocal harmonies, on horns and guitars, originals and classics, beautiful music defying the laws of genre, and absolutely yes as the Ponies of Harmony. Let their songs elevate your sushi experience.

Danny Brown, Hook, Bruiser Wolf Admittedly, Danny Brown is somewhat of an acquired taste. The Detroit rapper certainly stands out from the pack with his often abrasive and high-pitched nasal voice, one that proves too big a hurdle for some hip-hop heads. But those who aren’t turned off by his atypical delivery tend to love it. Pretty much every album he puts out receives loads of critical praise and is a near-lock to make most major publications’ year-end lists. This includes both of...

Spoon Benders (Los Angeles) + TBA "Spoon Benders have relied on determination, onstage charisma, ever-tightening musicianship, a little punk rock swagger, and a circle of talented creative friends to manifest their rock n’ roll dream. The result has been steady word-of-mouth growth, and a reputation for a must-see live show." -GLIDE Magazine. SPOON BENDERS is a prog-psych-rock powerhouse that has been relentlessly touring in support of notable acts such as Frankie and The Witch F...

Disney Princess: The Concert Calling all Disney-loving adults and their children: If you know every word of “Let It Go” by heart, you’ll want to check out the upcoming Disney Princess: The Concert. Immerse yourself in princess-sung classics like “A Whole New World” and “Just Around the Riverbend,” performed by Broadway professionals Alyssa Fox (she’s currently on standby as Elsa in Broadway’s Frozen), Syndee Winters (playing The Lion King&rsq...
