Churches' Caleb Nichols Talks With The SF Examiner About The New Album!

"He left high school early, joined Bay Area bands including Port O’Brien and Grand Lake, and, with his majestic trio Churches, is exacting sweet revenge with the ebullient new single “Lovelife” backed by “Save Me” (both on a new EP).

Brooklyn Vegan Announces Lonesome Leash's Tour & Premieres His New Track "Feeding Frenzy!"

"Lonesome Leash (aka Walt McClements, a touring member and collaborator of Dark Dark Dark, and also a member of punk orchestra Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship? and New Orleans' Panorama Jazz Band) is releasing his debut album, I am No Captain, on January 1.

Jennifer O'Connor Talks About Her New Album With Another Rainy Saturday!

"I Want What You Want is a reminder of what a devastatingly good songwriter O’Connor is. It is the directness and storytelling that draws one into her music, or at least draws me in to it. With a song like “Change Your Life,” it feels like she’s singing directly to you when the song opens, “If you want to change your life, you’re gonna have to change your mind / about what you want.” It’s one of the songs from I Want that is easy to get immersed in the lyrics."

Vice Explores Their Renny Wilson Sexual Fantasy And Shares His New Video For "Could've It Been Me?"

"The album is relaxing and sexy with disco elements and plenty of sax. My Renny sexual fantasy involves a thrift store disco ball turning very slowly, bouncing light off of two frosty mugs of beer. He'll then strut across the room, locking eye contact, and hand me my glass. He'll put the vinyl copy of Sugarglider on, and whisper in my ear that I'm the first girl to hear it." Listen now on VICE!
