Cloud Nothings aren't "the new" anythingnew
Comparisons are fucking stupid. The immediate impulse when listening to Cloud Nothings' new post-hardcore (whatever that means) opus (whatever that means) Attack on Memory is to compare young frontman Dylan Baldi to another soft-spoken-though-undeniably-charismatic 20-something songwriter who channeled his love of angry hardcore bands (Wipers, Hüsker Dü, Black Flag, etc.) into inexplicably populist rage, but this isn't then.

Sleigh Bells: 'Reign of Terror'new
Several of the bands that grabbed critical attention with the sugary-pop-through-blown-speakers aesthetic popular a few years back (Wavves, Dum Dum Girls) managed to remain relevant by totally not doing that shit anymore.

Repent Now: Christian Metalheads Take Over San Antonionew
As part of the mostly Christian Screaming the Prayer heavy metal tour, Dallas’ Fit for a King comes to S.A. as proof that, at the very least, praying doesn’t hurt: the band’s initial output, Creation/Destruction, holds the record for most debut album first-week copies sold in their label’s, Solid State Records, history.

Girl in a Coma Singer Nina Diaz' Spiritual Makeovernew
“What’s up with Nina?” I asked Faith Radle, Girl in a Coma’s manager, looking at the band’s lead singer, Nina Díaz. It was pouring rain that afternoon in late May, but we were safely sheltered at the ballroom of the Omni Hotel, minutes after Judge Nelson Wolff gave his State of the County address and seconds before I lamely asked, “Is she going to the gym, or something?”

KING KENDRICK BRINGS HIS TALENTED FRIENDS TO OUR NECK OF THE WOODSnew
Kendrick Lamar burst into the national spotlight in 2011, following the release of his debut album Section.80, which included the hits “HiiiPoWeR” and “A.D.H.D.” If that album — lyrically focused on issues of drug addiction, violence, love, lust, and the battle to improve oneself — got people talking about Lamar as if he was next in line for the rap throne, 2012’s Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City proved they were right.
