Taking Meds

PEARS, The Casket Lottery, Direct Hit, Ratboys, Be Well, Brendan Kelly, Militarie Gun, NØ MAN, Camp Trash, Joystick and more join the already-stacked lineup...

The D-beating political hardcore trio debuted last year with the 'Greatest Hits' EP, and now they're set to release its sequel this month.

Last year, Growing Stone -- the indie-folk solo project of Taking Meds' Skylar Sarkis -- has a new video for ”Rushing For Fear of Intruder” off last year's I Had Everybody Snowed.

The new song is a lovely dose of indie/chamber pop - a far cry from Skylar's punk band Taking Meds.

The NYC local regulars will drop their next EP on the Smartpunk label this June.

Plus: City Morgue, Amyl & the Sniffers, Windhand, Vetiver, Tropical Fuck Storm, Yves Tumor, Weedeater, Torche, EPMD, and more NYC-area shows on sale.

Friday show options include The Fleshtones, the second-to-last night at Brooklyn Bazaar, Live Skull, A$AP Twelvyy, House of Independents 4th anniversary, Hot Tuna and more. It's also Record Store Day Black Friday.

Tonight's NYC-area shows include Blood Orange/Yves Tumor in Central Park, Alvvays/Snail Mail/Hatchie, Advance Base, Jade Bird, Sons of Kemet, and more.

Grey Gordon is on No Sleep Records as a Death Cab-ish acoustic emo artist, but like a lot of modern emo artists, he likes shoegaze too...

Against Me! did an acoustic cover of The Mountain Goats' ”Going to Georgia,” and video of that is in this post.
