We want to express our appreciation for the excellent work done by Nathan Larson and Nina Persson as our guest editors this past week. We’d do it in person, but it’s hard to get face time with the boss. Those A Camp cats have miles of fucking style. Here’s the video from the first single [...]
“We’re going to party like it’s 1699,” sings Nina Persson on Colonia, the second album the Cardigans frontwoman has released under the A Camp name with husband Nathan Larson (Shudder To Think) and Niclas Frisk.

Formed by two ex-members of the now-defunct Eames Era, Generationals (a.k.a. Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer) are prepping the release of debut album Con Law (Park The Van, due July 21). Joyner and Widmer worked with producer Daniel Black (Oranges Band), and you can hear just the right amounts of jangle and pep in album [...]
Every Saturday, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 25-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
