id post the article but that would defeat the purpose. go buy issue no. 6 of antics magazine and read my very cool profile of deathcrash

went to this year’s treefort fest in the great city of Boise, ID. had a blast seeing longtime favorites, wondering how this set of headliners came to claim their spot, and discovering great new acts to follow. read a massive recap here: northerntransmissions.com/highlights-f...

my first feature on the line of best fit is now live :) talked to Ora Cogan about her fantastic new record 'Hard Hearted Woman' and what it means to exist and continue loving in a particularly difficult time: www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/int...

it's a review of kim gordon's new album but also an excuse to write about my favorite essay about the english language ever and the cancer that is the concept of katseye. whee ! northerntransmissions.com/kim-gordon-p...

for Northern Transmissions, I spoke with singer-songwriter Morgan Nagler on the "realistic hope" behind her debut solo album, 'I've Got Nothing to Lose, but I'm Losing It'. She's an open book, and her record's equally approachable and inspiring! Check it: northerntransmissions.com/morgan-nagle...

for the line of best fit, I got the chance to review deathcrash's 'Somersaults', a really special album that perfectly captures the feeling of growing up and becoming a fully-realized band. band's at their best here. check it: www.thelineofbestfit.com/albums/death...

went back to the best city to catch Montréal’s Taverne Tour, an underground punk rock festival that’ll warm up any frozen body. check out these really cool bands: theneedledrop.com/the-needle-d...

Back on The Line Of Best Fit to talk about the new Danny L Harle album, how to construct a dream sequence, and why falling victim to tropes about water and darkness make for a boring album. one of my most earnest reviews yet: www.thelineofbestfit.com/albums/danny...

reviewed a new EP i really really like. one that is necessary during this frozen winter: vicbor.substack.com/p/quick-hits...

Some words on Blur and their only live album, pressed on vinyl for the very first time: theneedledrop.com/record-store...

Last week, I sat down with Tyler Ballgame to discuss the path to making his sunny and classic-feeling debut, 'For The First Time (Again)'. Visit Northern Transmissions for an interesting convo on poetry, unabashed love, and finding comfort in starting over: northerntransmissions.com/tyler-ballga...

bandcamp is so awesome bc there are three whole jerskin fendrix/tiernan albums on there, with some of their weirdest sonic ventures yet

blogged about a pop song that is genuinely ok i just wanted to be a huge prick about it and talk about pop industry stifling adventure and creativity. how can u write a dance pop song and not collaborate with dance/electronic producers??? vicbor.substack.com/p/disco-occa...

jerskin fendrix got his second oscar nomination today. huge congrats to the guy, his score is insane. this article isn’t about that at all but tap in anyway!

still on my mission to make shame the biggest punk band ever 🔥 went to see them in NYC last Saturday and went absolutely crazy in the pit. read about my experience on Northern Transmissions: northerntransmissions.com/live-review-...

year of the horse, year of the cowboys: for The Needle Drop, i chatted with Westside Cowboy about their brand new EP, their charity collective, and who they want to be in the coming year. in their own words, the world’s waiting for them 🤠 theneedledrop.com/interviews/i...

Schlagenheim was music i never knew could exist, but after I listened to it in 2019 (i was barely 18!), I knew I had to drop everything and become fully engrossed in bm's world. Matt's work is undoubtedly vital to this overhaul of indie rock; his brilliance is why we're all here.

Spared a couple words on Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin's passing. It's been a tough day for many of us, and my heart goes out to his family, friends, and former bandmates. May he rest in peace ❤️ northerntransmissions.com/matt-kwasnie...

my first profile of the year for Northern Transmissions goes to an emerging indie artist who’s actually been around for a long time. a convo with Matt Hitt about the indie industry, good music, and his debut EP, ‘You’ll Be Lucky’. check it: northerntransmissions.com/matt-hitt-be...
