So many artists, so many songs, 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.
GOSSIP – “REAL POWER”
Beth Ditto says new Gossip single “Real Power” is a tribute to Portland. “That song is about how awesome our city is and how it really showed up. The system was being rearranged and we were forcing people to reckon with it at a time when it could literally make you ill to gather, during a pandemic. That’s real power—people coming together, making those decisions to be in the streets.” It’s also the title track to Gossip’s new album which will be out March 22.

THE LIBERTINES – “SHIVER”
Here’s another track from The Libertines’ upcoming All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade. This one is sung by Carl Barât and he says, “Peter [Doherty] had a song and I had a song and we mashed them up and did it collaboratively.” Doherty adds, “’Shiver’ is very much from Doherty/Barât, where I would probably find it difficult to work out who did what because we were both there the whole time through its creation. It should really be called ‘The Last Dream Of Every Dying Soldier,’ but everyone liked the title ‘Shiver.’”
