Atlanta’s
girlpuppy (aka Becca Harvey) announced the forthcoming album
Sweetness, set for release on March 28, 2025 via Captured Tracks.
Talking about the lead single, “I Just Do!,” Harvey said, “I wrote this song after spending 6 days in Los Angeles with a guy I had an all consuming crush on. It’s just about that feeling of knowing you’re wasting your time by developing feelings for someone who is completely emotionally unavailable, but you do it anyway because it feels good. I wrote this entire song and then recorded a voice note of me singing it acapella in my bathtub (where I get lots of inspiration for songs). I brought it to Alex [Farrar] and he built the instruments around the melody I wrote and it turned out so much fun. This is definitely gonna be my favorite song to play on tour.”
Speaking of tour, expect to hear that song on the upcoming tour dates:
APR 4 | Atlanta, GA @ The Earl
APR 10 | Brooklyn, NY @ Baby’s All Right
MAY 8 | Los Angeles, CA @ Moroccan Lounge

Red Fang

Although some people might Portland’s
Red Fang got their names from a bloody vampire, taking a looking at the prehistoric dog skull of their album, I would think they stole their name from Jack London’s
White Fang book (the companion piece to
The Call of the Wild).
For Red Fang’s 20th Anniversary celebration, they’re releasing
Deep Cuts, a 26-song collection of b-sides, covers, and previously unreleased tracks. The record will come out March 14, 2025.
Bassist Aaron Beam adds, “Perhaps unremarkable to anyone else, it's f**king amazing to me that we have made it TWENTY YEARS! Before we started jamming in John Sherman's basement, I'd already been in 40 (maybe more!) bands, none of which lasted more than a year or two. Yet somehow in 2005, for the first time since probably 1987 I found myself without any band to play in. It turned out this was also true of John, David, and Bryan! So it was only natural that we'd start playing together.
“All we ever wanted to do was make music that we knew our friends would be stoked to hear at a basement party. Our first show was in David's basement, and no matter how big the stages were that we ended up playing, we always tried to bring as much of that basement party feeling as we could.
In that regard, this double album feels very much at home. It's got a sampling of the weird variety of covers that reflect the different sh** that inspire us. The computer drum-laden home demo for ‘Wires’ gives a little peek into the process that we pretty rarely but sometimes used for writing (more often than not, all the writing happened in the jam space). There's of course a generous helping of rare B-sides and bonus tracks that might be hard to find even in today's digital world. And there's even a smattering of pretty atypical GarageBand demos that are some of my favorite things to listen to on this record. They could probably never make a regular Red Fang release, but really let you see what is going on in our heads when we're not banging them!
Please enjoy this record that we are happy to have made for you.”
Can’t wait to hear their cover lover version of “Ice Ice Baby”.

PUP (Stefan Babcock, Nestor Chumak, Zack Mykula, and Steve Sladkowski) is currently on tour. The band recently released “Paranoid”, their first new song in two years.
Babcock says of the new single: “My favourite part of this song is the breakdown 1:45 in. It's the heaviest moment in the song, Zack and Steve are going so hard, I'm yelling about all this sad stuff that's going on with me, and Nestor is just playing the melody from ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ on the bass. It cracks me up every time I hear it. So f**king funny. It's a very PUP moment.”

At War With the Dogcatchers
by The Taxpayers

The Taxpayers

Genre-bending punk band
The Taxpayers recently released their new single, “At War With The Dogcatchers.” Check out the
cartoon-ish video now.
The song is about dogcatchers, and based on a real event that happened to the band. One of their friends died and the city would put their dog in the pound. Often, the dogcatchers would put the dog down, unless someone rescued the animal within 24 hours. Fortunately, the family was able to bring the dog home and care for her until a longer term solution could be found…. And that’s pretty much how the band ended up adopting the dog.
“At War With The Dogcatchers” is taken from the band’s album
Circle Breaker, available March 21 on Ernest Jenning Record Co.
The Taxpayers have announced a series of midwest shows in support of Circle Breaker this spring in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Detroit, along with summer shows on the east and west coast.
The Taxpayers Tour Dates:
March 27 - Minneapolis, MN @ The Underground
March 28 - Chicago, IL @ WC Social Club

Regarding the title track, “DOGGOD”, Sade Sanchez explains, “I feel like I’m some sort of servant or slave to love. There’s a willingness to die for love in the process of serving it or suffering for it or in search of it… just in the way a loyal, devoted servant dog would.”
 LA Witch at First Avenue (25 May 2016)

Expect the band to go on tour to promote the album. We saw LA Witch in
May 2016 and wrote, “The show was opened up by Los Angeles rock band L.A. Witch. Although these guys are fairly new to the scene, their music is polished and their show is very well put together. There is definitely that raw and bloody emotion coming from L.A. Witch's music just like you get with The Kills. The trio (Sade Sanchez, Irita Pai, and Ellie English) played almost everything they’ve recorded, including ‘Get Lost’ and ‘Heart of Darkness’ (from their self-titled debut EP) and latest 7” single ‘Drive Your Car’. Musically, the moody band sounded like Mazzy Star (vocally) with The Black Angels and BRMC psychedelia.”

MUTT

leonthomas.com
GRAMMY Award-winning artist
Leon Thomas has released his highly anticipated new album,
MUTT, available now via EZMNY Records/Motown Records. The album features collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign, Freddie Gibbs, Wale, and more.
Talking about the theme and inspiration of the album, Leon shares, “‘MUTT’ was an album I made after a long-term relationship. I was both advancing in my personal career and learning about myself in solitude. During my journey of being newly single, I began to document through my music examples of our need for control within the modern dating climate. In my previous relationship, I was gifted a dog, and after studying his behavior, I discovered similarities. He’s currently untrained and surviving on his natural instincts, while I, as his owner, am constantly in a position to demand obedience. ‘MUTT’ is a metaphor for our need and desire as human beings to exert some control over our partners. I explored themes from jazz, rock & roll, hip-hop, and R&B, giving myself no parameters for personal expression. This project delves into every part of me: the balance between control and chaos.”
Please Forgive Me, David Gray

Irish musician
Annie-Dog recently shared a new single “Please Forgive Me, David Gray” out now. The song is taken from the EP
15, set for release on Feb 27, 2025, on Dance to the Radio.
Regarding David Gray, Annie-Dog said, “Like every Irish person my age, I was brought up on David Gray’s White Ladder album. My parents rinsed it constantly, and Please Forgive Me was always a favourite. I made ‘Please Forgive Me, David Gray’ on GarageBand, and, really, I just made it for me. I didn’t put too much thought into it. And I definitely didn’t think I’d ever share it. I suppose I wanted to insert myself into the song, because I love it. I wanted to be a part of the song’s world. I hadn’t ever properly covered a song before making “Please Forgive Me, David Gray”, and I haven’t since. It’s not usually my bag. I like writing my own songs. It’s what drives me creatively. But remaking somebody else’s tune turned out to be a lot of fun. I‘ve been playing ‘Please Forgive Me, David Gray’ at my live shows as of late, and I’ve been asked so many times to put it online. So here it is. Annie-Dog meets David Gray.”
Annie-Dog will be playing at this year’s
SXSW.
