FRIGS

Boris live albums and rarities, Mikey Erg demos, a Hot Snakes rarity, a William Tyler EP, unearthed Hop Along songs from 2005, a Jason Isbell live album, Hedwig's John Cameron Mitchell, three huge compilations, and more special releases out for Bandcamp Friday...

Masked, tattooed, Toronto-based goth-country artist Orville Peck's buzzed-about debut album comes out on Sub Pop this month.

Popgun's multi-room Bushwick venue Elsewhere opened last year on Halloween, and to celebrate their first anniversary, we're giving away tickets to 12 big upcoming shows at the venue.

Listen to new songs by Weezer, Thom Yorke, Willie Nelson, Laura Jane Grace, Speedy Ortiz, Interpol (DJDS remix), Soccer Mommy (Dixie Chicks cover), Bad Bunny + Drake, Chino Moreno, and more.

The long list for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize-- Canada's annual award for a great album -- has been announced.

BrooklynVegan hosted an eight-band lineup at Brooklyn's Elsewhere on Saturday (6/9) as part of Northside Festival 2018.

Renata Zeiguer and Tess Roby also join the lineup, which includes previously announced acts Deerhoof and Protomartyr as well.

For bands, The Savannah Stopover is a way to ease into the festival insanity that is SXSW, and for audiences it's a chance to catch a lot of bands who are on their way Austin, but in a much more laid back atmosphere. Having the fest in Savannah's downtown district, where you can drink on the street and take your beverage with you from venue to venue, is a nice bonus.

Plus: Kemba, Nikki Lane, Yonatan Gat, Zeshan B, Caroline Rose and more added.

Toronto post-punks FRIGS will release their new album, Basic Behaviour, on February 23 via Arts & Crafts. Their dark, soulful brand of rock is powered by Bria Salmela, a firebrand frontperson possessing a commanding voice that can go from smoky cool to full-on wail.
