Mitski is ‘Working for the Knife’

Claire Lyons | Wednesday, October 27, 2021

After two years of radio silence, Japanese-American singer-songwriter Mitski has triumphantly returned to the public ear with a new single and tour announcement. In 2019, Mitski ended her 5-year streak of non-stop touring and deleted her social media to take a break from music indefinitely. Nearly two years later, her accounts were reactivated to announce

Origami Angel’s ‘GAMI GANG’ is a deluge of wholesome emo anthems

Jim Moster | Tuesday, May 4, 2021

Many bands suffer a “sophomore slump” following a stunning debut album, but not Origami Angel. Emo’s latest rising stars return in “GAMI GANG” to serve up another round of headbangers, and they’ve got a simple message for you — you’re a badass, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Origami Angel entered the scene in

Playboi Carti delivers on innovative, punk-inspired ‘Whole Lotta Red’

Patrick Witteman | Friday, February 12, 2021

In the years following Playboi Carti’s sophomore project, “Die Lit,” the Atlanta rapper’s cult following satisfied its desire for new music with snippets, leaks and features posted to SoundCloud and YouTube. Leak compilations circulated online, with Carti validating popular leaks (“Kid Cudi/Pissy Pamper”) during live performances. Although the proliferation of Carti leaks and compilations satisfied his

Foo Fighters tread water with ‘Medicine at Midnight’

Willoughby Thom | Thursday, February 11, 2021

There are very few bands who have earned a reputation like the one afforded to the Foo Fighters. They are not only the friendliest rock band that has graced the Earth — this is from personal experience — but they are also incredible musicians. It may seem unnecessary for a band that is associated with

35 years later, ‘Rum Sodomy & the Lash’ retains all its power

Jake Winningham | Thursday, September 10, 2020

“Don’t talk to me about naval tradition. It‘s nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.” Like most of their 1985 masterpiece, the title of the Pogues’ greatest achievement is borrowed from somewhere else. Drawing upon sources as disparate as ’40s pop hits, centuries of Irish mythmaking and Winston Churchill’s above quote about the British Navy,

I Regrette it.

Willoughby Thom | Wednesday, August 26, 2020

I have accused today’s music industry of being “not what it used to be” for a very long time. Yes, it has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. I consider the ‘80s to be the height of the music business. However, I have found myself blaming the industry for the decline of some of

Protomartyr’s ‘Ultimate Success Today:’ A perfect statement for the present

Patrick Witteman | Thursday, August 20, 2020

Protomartyr has never shied away from tackling issues that plague American society. The Detroit post-punk group’s first few albums explored the Flint water crisis, the opioid epidemic, war and political unrest –– among other topical American struggles. The band’s new album, “Ultimate Success Today,” comes at a difficult time in our shared history –– new

Vincenzo Torsiello invites you to embrace the chaos

Jacob Neisewander | Monday, August 17, 2020

A Notre Dame flag adorned with the state of Arizona’s colors hangs in sophomore Vincenzo Torsiello’s Stanford dorm room. Besides a single electric guitar and a mini-controller synthesizer, the room is decidedly short on instruments. Back home in Phoenix, Torsiello boasts a much more impressive setup: a full drum set, several microphones, an acoustic piano,

Rounding the dogleg with Dogleg

Mike Donovan | Friday, March 27, 2020

Dogleg intercedes 30 minutes after you and your friends raid Lafayette Coney Island at which point four coneys “all the way” with fries and a Coke metabolize into a madness threatening to drown the night’s Super Smash Bros. Melee marathon in heartburn. Needle dropped on “Kawasaki Backflip,” volume cranked well past 11, bandleader Alex Stoitsiadis’

They’re Not Sell-Outs, Just Hypocrites

Willoughby Thom | Monday, February 10, 2020

Before going on to review the new Green Day album, which was released Friday, I would like to take immediate action and retract the statement I made on Sept. 16, 2019: “Green Day’s new path is disappointingly weird, and we are not in for a treat.” In September of last year, Green Day fans received news of
