So many artists, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. In these concertless times, that includes daily livestreams and live concert videos we love. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.

YOUNG GUV – "MAYBE I SHOULD LUV SOMEBODY ELSE"

Young Guv, aka Fucked Up's Ben Cook, has dabbled in new wave and power pop, now he's trying on a new hat: countrified, Byrdsy pop. "After such an intense year, I thought I'd share something warm and fuzzy I made in the high desert mountains with my gang," says Ben. "The video was shot outside of our pyramid with a $10 camera I thrifted in town. This is a Bandcamp only release because I can't stomach supporting Spotify and the other techno-fascist streaming pigs. 2020 has shed light on a number of important issues and how musicians are treated so unjustifiably wrong is one of them for me. It is no longer the time to support such things. It has to be rethought.“

BESNARD LAKES – "OUR HEADS, OUR HEARTS ON FIRE AGAIN"

"Epic" can be a four letter word (technically it always is) but Montreal's Besnard Lakes earn the description. Even their album titles are bigger than life and their new one, The Besnard Lakes Are the last of the Great Thunderstorm Warning, is out January 29. New single "Our Heads, Our Hearts on Fire Again" is awesomely epic.

MOLTEN – "ON THROUGH PHLEEGETHON"

Bay Area death-thrashers Molten will put out their debut album Dystopian Syndrome on January 15 via self-release, and here's the gnarly third single. "The lyrics reflect the struggle of the downtrodden against the oppressing insurmountable forces that surround us today and literally cast shadows and darken our lives," guitarist Chris Corona says. "Inspired by one of the five Greek mythological rivers of the underworld that burns the souls of those who committed crimes against their own kind, Phlegethon is a figurative journey finding our way through this darkness using the burning souls of these evil tyrants to light the way." You can hear the new song at Decibel and the two previous singles below.
