PUP Release ‘Matilda’ Off Upcoming Album
PUP unveiled the latest single, “Matilda,”of their forthcoming record, The Unraveling of PUPTHEBAND. [embedded content][embedded content] “Matilda is the name of my favorite guitar,” guitarist Stefan Babcock said. “She was a gift from my friend Ryan, after watching me accidentally break the only guitar I owned in the middle of a long tour. I had no money to buy a replacement, and Ryan’s act of kindness is up there on my list of ‘nicest things anyone’s ever done for me.’ I played Matilda nonstop for 7 years at every PUP show, even when my bandmates started complaining that she sounded like shit.” PUP had previously released “Waiting” and “Robot Writes A Love Song,” off The Unraveling. The band’s fourth studio record is set for release on April 1, and is self-deemed by the band as ...

King Hannah Isn’t Sorry
Naming your debut album I’m Not Sorry, I Was Just Being Me is a statement. It’s an embrace of unwavering selfhood in the face of detractors. Vocalist Hannah Merrick and guitarist Craig Whittle — better known as Liverpool indie-rock duo King Hannah — understand that it’s a lengthy title. But (as one might’ve guessed) they aren’t sorry about it. “We’re really happy with the title,” Merrick tells SPIN over Zoom. “It took a long time for us to choose, didn’t it? We really love long sentences. We knew from the start it was going to be a long title. It was just choosing the sentence that we thought had romance to it but also was a statement. ‘This is what we sound like. This is us. This is who we are, and we’re not sorry for that.’” In terms of the title’s origins, Whittle says that he and his b...

Haim Share Video for New Song “Lost Track”: Watch
Haim have shared “Lost Track” and its accompanying Paul Thomas Anderson-directed video via W Magazine. The song was first shared during screenings of Anderson’s Alana Haim-starring film Licorice Pizza. The band explained that the song came about as a spontaneous collaboration with Anderson during his cover shoot with Alana for W Magazine. “An opportunity arose to do a quick music component while shooting the story. Paul mentioned having the book Appointment in Samarra as a possible direction,” they wrote. “So we did some digging around the book and were inspired by the scene where the main character throws a drink in someone’s face at a country club. We were inspired by the idea of someone doing something so drastic to get out of a situation they felt uncomfortable in—just to feel so...
