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. 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.

INGROWN – “WASTE”

Boise, Idaho metallic hardcore trio Ingrown have announced their debut LP, Gun, due August 20 via Alternatives Label (the label co-run by Ian Shelton of Regional Justice Center/Militarie Gun). It was recorded by Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos), and lead single “Waste” is a gnarly, very heavy first taste.

CHORUSING – “MIDDAY SUN”

Chorusing (aka North Carolina-based artist Matthew O’Connell) will release his debut album on August 13 and here’s a second single from the album. Matthew says “Midday Sun” is “kind of my ode to Nirvana Unplugged, stripped-down drums and bass providing a bed for the vocals and noisy guitar. I wanted that slide guitar to seem like a mirage, like heat waves coming off hot asphalt, a kind of sonic metaphor for the lyrical themes.”

JEN CLOHER & HACHIKU – “FAIRYTALE IN THE SUPERMARKET” (THE RAINCOATS COVER)

“The Raincoats ‘Fairytale in the Supermarket’ is like jumping aboard a moving train and landing in a carriage of 70’s post punk mischief that’s giving a huge middle finger to all the things cis hetero white dudes had decided punk was meant to be,” Jen Cloher says of her new cover, the latest installment in Kill Rock Stars’ 30th anniversary cover series. “But it’s the depth of the lyrics that blow me away, ‘It makes no difference night or day, no-one teaches you how to live.’ Nihilist or Buddhist? Either way, it’s one of the best opening lines for a song, ever. Myself and Anika Ostendorf aka Hachiku tried to find a way to access this incredible song and make it our own. I think Anika’s experimental spirit found a home in The Raincoats awesome weirdness. We are both on Milk Records a label based in Naarm (Melbourne) on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people in so called australia. Kill Rock Stars is a label we looked to when we started Milk nearly 10 years ago, so it feels like being home with our people even if we’re on the other side of the world!”

DOT ALLISON (ONE DOVE) – “ONE LOVE”

Former One Dove singer Dot Allison will release Heart Shaped Scars, her first album in 12 years, at the end of the month and she’s shared a second single from the record. “One Love” is delicate, ornate and lushly orchestrated folk pop that she says is “about someone feeling unsure in a relationship, needing reassurance. The flower metaphors are rare flowers used to signify a rare, precious, all encompassing love. Blood Camellia suggests flesh, veins and a pulse, Fire Lilies imbue a sense of passion and Juliette Rose seems to hint at Shakespeare.”

—

RAINMAKING – S/T EP

Oregon screamo band Rainmaking released their self-titled debut EP earlier this year, and it just got a re-release via Zegema Beach Records. It’s as raw, furious, and apocalyptic as the greats of ’90s screamo, and Rainmaking do justice to that era and bring a ton of passion to the music.

—

SHE/HER/HERS – “INTERNET ADS”
