Australian psych rockers Pond have had quite the busy 2024, dropping their first-ever double album (Stung!) this summer and releasing a full concert video (Live at the Lodge Room) last month, chronicling the conclusion of the band’s tour of the US this May.  (Although, releasing 10 studio albums in...

“Hausu and Japanese horror were really big inspirations for Squeeze, whereas for the new one it was Thelma & Louise, denim, and big ‘80s hair,” Sasami Ashworth, better known mononymously as SASAMI, tells me of her upcoming third solo LP (She’s a former member of Cherry Glazerr.), Blood on...

“Personally, I haven’t celebrated Halloween in quite a while… because I’m, you know, considered witchy and gothy.  I always get associated with Halloween,” says Allie X during a recent Zoom chat, laughing.  However, this Thursday, October 31st, is a big occasion for the Canadian synth-pop savant, who will be...
