This is so good.

The new Shiner record rules. Jason Gerken is one of the best rock drummers on the planet. Allen Eppley is a genius songwriter. So stoked to have new music from KC's finest in 2025. tidal.com/album/447241...

Andy Williams (ex-ETID) has a new project called Atomic Rule. they dropped an EP today and it CRUSHES. Super heavy jams in the vein of early Mastodon, heavy Cave In, and maybe a little Elder? It slays, I’m happy it exists and cannot wait to hear more from the big fella. tidal.com/browse/album...

The third and final Horizons/West Q&A is up now on YouTube. Sit down with us as we discuss authors that influenced the lyrics, inspirations, and the transformation of songs from demo to master. thrice.ffm.to/horizonswestqa

If one party is not brave enough to truly say that religion has no place in public policy, we are going to be fighting a losing battle against theocracy. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/anti-relig...

Holy crap! New Elder! There’s nobody better at crafting heavy, epic, genre-melding, riffage than these dudes. If you dig any varietal of post/prog/70s-metal, post/stoner/space/prog-rock, and or jam bands, there’s something for you here. Shit rules. tidal.com/browse/album...

Our first shows in Sweden, Norway, and Copenhagen in forever, plus a handful of German shows, and a UK speedrun? Aaand Lysistrata ripping with us?! Yes, please.

I can't believe this comes out in two weeks. So excited for people to finally hear it.

How are those Don’t Tread On Me flags working out, folks?

Part 2 of our Q&A out now. We talk what we've been listening to, writing the record, and performing live. Check it out on our YouTube: thrice.ffm.to/horizonswestqa

Really, really stoked to be heading out with Modern Color and Downward next month. So much so, I put together a little playlist of some of my favorite jams of theirs. Should be a solid intro for those of you who might be a little less familiar with them. - Riley tidal.com/playlist/963...

This new Honningbarna record is sick. Blown out, dancey, hooky, pissed rock jams from Norway. Took a little while for it to click, and the record feels a little backloaded, but it ends up being a super fun listen. Kinda feels IDLES, The Armed, Coilguns adjacent to me? tidal.com/browse/album...

This entire song is amazing, but the slow descent of the outro with the string accompaniment is the kinda thing that makes you say "Goddaaaaamn" out loud. I can't get over how good this band is.

Has Leeds considered the potential benefits of scoring a goal in EPL play? I know it's a wild idea, but YOLO or whatever.

TOUR APPROACHETH

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to hear me talk about baseball and music as I sit in a hot car and slowly fall prey to a non-COVID (I think?) virus, now’s your chance! This was super fun regardless, and I can’t wait to do it again.

A very good price (objective) for a very good website (biased). People that subscribe tend to stay subscribed, at a much higher rate than industry norms. I think it's because the writing is so good, but again I am biased, there.

Revisiting my favorite record of 2021, Kowloon Walled City's incredible Piecework LP, and being reminded of how goddamn good, and emotionally and sonically heavy the song "Oxygen Tent" is. Jeeeeezus. tidal.com/browse/track...

The cool thing about tennis is that the chair umpire says “juice” and someone brings them something to drink.

The new Still In Love record is a fun one -- heavy as hell, super pissed, infinitely moshable hardcore. Kinda feels like a Hope Conspiracy x Comeback Kid x Converge mashup with glossy modern production. Definitely worth a spin if that kinda stuff is up your alley. tidal.com/browse/album...

Happy NFL Opening Day to all who celebrate! Very excited to watch the Rams go like 9-8 and get bounced immediately in the playoffs again, while Sean McVay paces up and down the sidelines turning new shades of purple and setting new record highs for human blood pressure.

I've been a La Dispute stan for many years, and I legit think their new record is their best record to date. Incredible songs, phenomenal performances, and an absolutely perfect mix by @gse.bsky.social. It feels like you're sitting in on a living room show. Amazing. tidal.com/browse/album...

I remain convinced that the guys from Town Portal were sent from another dimension to show us the outer limits of what music can be. It’s gorgeous, complex, delightfully fucked [complimentary]. So much so that it’s AI-proof. So stoked on this new jam. Can’t wait for the LP. tidal.com/browse/album...

Just over a month out until our headline tour with Modern Color and Downward. Get your tickets now at thrice.net.

Idles scored the new Aronofsky movie, Caught Stealing, and it rules. It's airy, eerie, hypnotic, vibey vs. pissed, chaotic, and energetic. Chock full of weird/rad tones. What a fun project. They absolutely smashed it. tidal.com/browse/album...

Happy Beths Day to all who celebrate. tidal.com/browse/album...

The new Jens Kuross record is finally out and it’s fucking incredible. The recording is pure and intimate — just an incredibly talented guy with an amazing voice and a Wurlitzer. Sounds and feels like you’re sitting in the room with him. It’s so damn good. tidal.com/browse/album...

Still obsessed with this record. It’s incredibly fucked in a lot of amazing ways. It’s like music that the Max Rebo band from Star Wars should have been playing. Super hooky … but also gross? (complimentary)

I'm a Rams fan, and I fully endorse this message.

This one has been a total earworm since day one. Every time we’d jam on it a different part would lodge in my brain and stay there for a few days. I honestly could sit in that instrumental groove (the pre-bridge?) section for hours. tidal.com/browse/track...

Happy Deftones Day! What a stupid good band. Living legends. tidal.com/browse/album...

This new Blessings record is super sick. Weird [complimentary], heavy, genre-bending goodness from Sweden. Definitely worth a test spin if you dig Coilguns, Killing Joke, Russian Circles, Young Widows, Harkonen, et al. tidal.com/browse/album...

I’ve had this How Much Art song stuck in my head for almost a month straight. Pat Flynn from Fiddlehead/Have Heart’s new project. Hooks, synths, energy, great drumming … it’s so good. tidal.com/browse/album...

there are 250 Democrats in Congress who should be out on the streets telling these folks to go home right now

Earnestly asking my server what sorts of vegetable lotions they offer for their salads.

PTA moms are in the school group chat breaking teacher and class assignment news like they’re Jeff Passan or Shams.

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

This Kid Cops record is a ripper. Casey from The Velvet Teen killing it on drums and bass. Tweaked, skronky, spazzy, loopy guitar parts. Energy, dynamics, a killer mix by @gse.bsky.social. Highly recommended. tidal.com/browse/album...

New Cloudkicker jams are absolutely hitting the spot right now, and basically guaranteeing I'll spend the next few weeks revisiting everything he's ever released. One of my favorite artists of all-time. tidal.com/browse/album...
