The Interrupters return
The Interrupters have been keeping busy. Prior to supporting Green Day, Weezer and Fall Out Boy on the Hella Mega tour last year, the band built their own home studio and created an album during the COVID lockdowns. Now, they’ll see the fruits of their labor when new album In The Wild comes out this August. Here’s hoping they preview the new material when they kick off a tour with Flogging Molly in June. You can get tickets here.

Motionless In White are a “Masterpiece”
Motionless In White are back with another new single. Ahead of new album Scoring The End Of The World, Motionless In White dropped “Masterpiece.” It’s a song that embodies the band’s ability to be both tender and frank — and a reminder that we’re never alone. Watch Motionless In White play the song from an abandoned home here, and remember to preorder/presave the new record, which arrives in June.

The world of 100 gecs is nothing but vibrant
100 gecs are a lovably bizarre sensation. In new single “Doritos & Fritos,” the duo of Laura Les and Dylan Brady imagine one wacky scenario after the next (see: eating burritos with Danny DeVito). Sonically, the pair lean into ’90s alt-rock influences, a pivot that’s perfectly suited for AP readers. Listen to the track now in preparation for their sophomore album, 10000 gecs.

Stand Atlantic say f*ck everything and run
For their new album, Stand Atlantic wrote songs that reflected what was rattling in their heads — anxiety, doubt, dread. The result is F.E.A.R. (short for “Fuck Everything And Run”), and it’s their most relentless material yet. Ahead of the release, the band dropped another new single called “switchblade.” Listen to the track here, and don’t forget to preorder/presave the record.
