Katie Pruitt’s “Grace Has A Gun” premieres today
Reflecting on the song, Pruitt shares, “In a relationship centered around the toxicity of mental illness, I learned firsthand how difficult it is to love someone that doesn’t love themselves. The red flags you are willing to miss and the burdens you are willing to carry, because you are under the impression that you could be their cure. Only to learn, that loving someone this self-destructive will only kill you both.”
Berlin’s Pabst share new single ‘Ibuprofen’
After releasing the critically acclaimed debut album ‘Chlorine’, playing too many gigs to count, making numerous raucous festival appearances AND supporting the likes of Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü) and Kadavar on tour, Pabst are getting their next kick in the form of new fuzz-indie-punk-cocktail: ‘Ibuprofen’. It’s accompanied by visuals reminiscent of classic ’90s MTV music videos with pastel-grunge scenes, directed by Constantin Timm. Fast, wild, and colourful, it will no doubt awaken memories of that last session in your hungover head.

SNARLS Announces Debut LP “Burst” + Dates with CITIZEN and FURY
Snarls is the latest upstart band from the Midwest and they’re already hitting the ground running with their debut LP, Burst. They have everything you need in a new favorite band: an acute sense of melodrama, arrangements that tenderly interlock and then splinter away, and an effortless blend of dream-pop, indie rock, and emo. It’s no wonder Stereogum named them a Best New Band last year, with their song “Walk in the Woods” being hailed as one of the best songs of 2019. There’s nine more songs where that came from, including the power-pop stomp “Marbles,” which you can hear today. Get familiar, because this is about to be Snarls’ year.
