Listen to Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit's new song Middle Of The Morning here

 

At the risk of coming off as hyperbolic, I will say that Jason Isbell is one of the greatest American songwriters ever. He's up there with Bob Dylan, Janis Ian, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Gene Clark, or Burt Bacharach. So whenever he releases a song should be treated as an event. Today, one month after Death Wish, we get another preview from his upcoming album Weathervanes, due out on June 9th.

Listen to Middle Of The Morning in the embedded Apple Music player below.

Listen to MonoNeon 's new album here

Sorry for being late to the party: the zany bassist's new album has already been out for two weeks. In our defense, it's hard to keep up with MonoNeon's output: the man is incredibly productive. This album is more of that bass-heavy Funk he's been releasing lately but also marks a return to the microtonal experimentations that got made him a YouTube sensation years ago.

Cannibal Corpse @ Élysée-Montmartre, Paris - March 22nd, 2023

It's been eight years since Cannibal Corpse's murderous riffs have last resonated in Paris, and the world is a much different place. Concert goers were massacred by terrorists, the Trump years have come and gone, there's been a world-wide pandemic, a war in Europe... Geopolitical uncertainty, financial crises and general chaos... But one thing that has remained consistent, despite its personnel shake-ups (but even then it's keeping with tradition) is Cannibal Corpse.
