19 New Songs Out Today

So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

GLADIE – “BORN YESTERDAY”

Philly band Gladie have released “Born Yesterday,” a jam with memorable early hook, “It takes me more time/I’m a little unsteady/I was born yesterday/I forgot I could be somebody.” The song shreds with fuzzy guitars and heavy cymbals. Gladie’s album Don’t Know What You’re In Until You’re Out is due November 18 via Plum Records.

EVERCLEAR – “YEAR OF THE TIGER”

Everclear have released their first new song in seven years, “Year of the Tiger,” and more so than their last album, this one really seems like it’s channelling the sound of Everclear’s ’90s days. It also makes reference to Nirvana smiley face shirts and MAGA hats. Not bad!

PHONY PPL – “DIALTONE”

“Lyrically written in split screen, ‘dialtone.’ is actually two different songs at once!” Phony Ppl write. “One song (the cause) is about a guy realizing space is only expanding between him and his lover. The other song (the effect) is about a relationship that only exists in the mind of said guy. Either way, there’s something wrong! Did they have something special, then drift apart? Or is it all in his head? … Maybe its all been in his head since they drifted. Either way, sing to the cause, whistle to the effect and dance to both at once.” Read more about it here.
