The genesis of September Mourning started in a dark New York basement, where a young girl discovered her father's old comic book collection and quickly became enraptured by the stories, especially the characters and arcs in the Batman series.  'Those resonated with me the most' says band leader and creative driving force Emily Lazar(AKA September). 'The Killing Joke' is still my favorite comic book'.   The stories and characters helped turn Lazar into a life-long artist across several mediums – including ballet, story-telling, visual art, and music.  She has combined those various talents into a living and breathing, graphic-novel-come-to-life with her band of Reapers in September Mourning.   With the release of their new single and video 'Unholy',  they continue to forge ahead with their aural and visual extravaganza.

Critically acclaimed Southern California rock band The Shelters return with their new single “You're Different” today. The track marks the first new material from the group — Chase Simpson [vocals, guitar], Josh Jove [guitar, vocals], and Sebastian Harris [drums] — since 2017 and heralds the arrival of their forthcoming sophomore album set for release September 20 via Warner Records. On Wednesday, SiriusXM Alt Nation premiered the song and kickstarted excitement for its official release today. Representing another evolution for the band, “You're Different” hinges on fuzzed-out riffing and a sharp beat before unfurling towards an instantly hummable refrain and synth-sounding iridescent guitar solo. 

Twenty years into their career, Tegan and Sara have recorded a new album that is based on the first songs they ever wrote. Hey, I'm Just Like You – their ninth studio album overall and first since 2016's Love You to Death – will be released on September 27 on Sire.

City and Colour, acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Dallas Green, debuts the first official radio single, “Strangers”, from his upcoming album, due this Fall on Green's newly minted Still Records, an imprint of Dine Alone Records. “'Strangers' is about how you will never truly know another human being,” says Green. “You'll never really understand what it's like to be inside someone else's brain or heart. So, we need to appreciate the differences. If we do, maybe we can live better with one another.” The single hinges on a buoyant riff and hummable groove and charges towards a ghostly refrain awash in reverb as Green pleads, “Don't wake me when this is over, just let me drift amidst my dreams.”

City and Colour (AKA acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Dallas Green), debuts a new song, “Astronaut,” today. “Astronaut” is the first original music from City and Colour in almost four years and will be featured on his upcoming LP to be released this Fall on Green's newly minted Still Records, an imprint of Dine Alone Records. “I always think of the relationships in my life that have been fractured because I ended up doing what I do for a living,” says Green regarding the inspiration for the new song. “I'm always gone, wandering around and singing songs. However, it weighs on my family and friends. I'm asking for 'one more year'. I left home at 21 to go play my guitar. It's lonely, but it's because I yearn to wander. I'm aware of how lucky I am.”

Synth-pop trio Operators' new album, Radiant Dawn, is out today on Last Gang Records. The band, featuring Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits), Devojka, and Sam Brown (Divine Fits, New Bomb Turks), previously shared the first single “Faithless” and the video for album track “I Feel Emotion”. Radiant Dawn is currently featured as Stereogum's “Album of the Week”, who said “it's music for a nightclub in a moon colony. It's music for a retro-futuristic recreation of an Eastern Europe metropolis that never quite existed. It's music for an encroaching dystopia.” LA Weekly similarly anointed the album, saying “the first hints of greatness came with the release ofEP1 in 2014, followed by the debut full-length, Blue Wave, two years later. But it's the majesty of the 14 songs that fill Radiant Dawn that show just how far this group has come.” Buy and stream Radiant Dawn HERE.
