Margo Price, 'Desperate & Depressed' (Live At SXSW 2016)

Friday, March 18, 2016

The "Hurtin' (On The Bottle)" B-side was written while Price played low-paying gigs and slept on floors, but she assures us at our SXSW showcase: "I'll be desperate and depressed until I die."

Margo Price, 'This Town Gets Around' (Live At SXSW 2016)

Margo Price, 'Paper Cowboy' (Live At SXSW 2016)

Friday, March 18, 2016

At our SXSW showcase, Margo Price performed this non-album cut, a honky tonk rocker that speeds along at a lively clip.

Margo Price, 'Hurtin' (On The Bottle)' (Live At SXSW 2016)

Friday, March 18, 2016

Price closed her set at our SXSW showcase with what she called "a drinkin' song." And, not just any drinkin' song, but a bleary 'n' cheery, whisky-soaked country howler.

Comment

Margo Price, 'About To Find Out' (Live At SXSW 2016)

Friday, March 18, 2016

The country singer opened her set from our SXSW showcase with some sharp-edged honky tonk. It's the perfect song to sing sweetly when you need to cut someone down.

Comment

Margo Price, 'Tennessee Song' (Live At SXSW 2016)

Friday, March 18, 2016

At our SXSW showcase, someone yells a yee-haw! from the audience before the country singer launches into the stomping, southern soul-rocker that turns cosmic.

Viking's Choice: Puff Pieces, 'Mindhead'

Tuesday, March 15, 2016

D.C. trio Puff Pieces makes minimalist punk that is hyper-aware of its spastic funk, yet never takes itself too seriously.

Comment

Viking's Choice: Sam Moss, 'Postman'

Napalm Death's 'Dear Slum Landlord' Video Grimly Depicts Housing Greed

Wednesday, March 09, 2016

At this point, we call Napalm Death "grindcore" out of necessity. For several decades, the band has innovated within itself and outside of extreme metal, culminating in last year's sonically wide-ranging Apex Predator — Easy Meat. "Dear Slum Landlord" was one of that album's most fascinating tracks, a dirge that ...

Viking's Choice: Perturbator, 'Neo Tokyo'

Wednesday, March 09, 2016

As we approach the post-2000s future we'd originally imagined for ourselves in pop culture — hoverboards, city-obliterating smog, artificial intelligence, Martian exploration — gatekeepers and storytellers give these once-radical predictions continued life beyond current reality. In Perturbator, James Kent's retro-futurism is violent and surreal, but fully inhabited in his barrage ...

Viking's Choice: Kvelertak, '1985'

Tuesday, March 08, 2016

Six years after its raging debut, Kvelertak's metal-spiked punk still yields lots of larger-than-life, beer-hoisting songs, with an occasional curve ball thrown in. The Norwegian band's self-produced third album, Nattesferd ("Night Traveller"), likely won't deviate far from the party, but if the first song is any indication, there's a little ...

Hear Two Songs From Modern Baseball's 'Holy Ghost'

Thursday, March 03, 2016

Holy Ghost is a split record Modern Baseball shares with itself, meaning that songwriters/guitarists Jake Ewald and Brendan Lukens each get a side (A and B, respectively) to do their respective thing. Okay, okay, but when OutKast split a record between songwriters, the pair only returned to do reunion shows ...

Comment

Viking's Choice: Vektor, 'Charging The Void'

Wednesday, March 02, 2016

Flashing a giddy smile under a curly mop of hair, Vektor's David DiSanto took a moment to praise his heroes and tourmates at a recent show at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C.: "This is our dream to play with Voivod." It was fun to witness the guitarist and vocalist ...

Songs We Love: Tyson Mostenbocker, 'In Your Name'

Monday, February 29, 2016

Doubt is the lens that refocuses purpose. This is especially true of faith and when it's tested — or rather, when an event or an environmental shift brings the core of one's being to the fore. After his mother died, singer-songwriter Tyson Mostenbocker walked six hundred miles of ...

Viking's Choice: The Body, 'Hallow/Hollow'

Thursday, February 25, 2016

There has not been one year since 2010's All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood that The Body has not released an album, a collaboration or a split EP. The experimental doom-metal duo is constantly evolving and learning from its previous works, and in March, it'll release ...

Thursday, February 25, 2016

If your memory of virtual reality still includes climbing on a platform at the mall and strapping on a clunky headset, know that the '90s are long over and the future is in your hands ... literally. Recently VR has evolved into a medium where anybody with a ...
