STREAM: Smith Westerns – “3am Spiritual”

Chicago rockers, Smith Westerns, dropped their second track entitled, “3am Spiritual,” from their new upcoming album, Soft Will. 

The new track is a little more ambitious than the poppier-carefree track, “Varsity,” which was debuted a few months ago. At around marker 3:05, the track breaks into a staccato bridge, which is followed by an emotional guitar solo. The arrangement is reminiscent of something you’d hear legendary bands such as Queen or The Beatles do. Bold words, but from what we’ve heard from the new album so far, I’m sure we’re in store for something special.

The new album …

Former Hey Monday vocalist and contestant on The Voice, Cassadee Pope has released her new single, “Wasting All These Tears.”

The song has a pop-country vibe to it, which we’re guessing is what she’s going for since she’ll be supporting for Rascal Flatts this summer.

“Wasting All These Tears” was taken from the singer’s forthcoming album due this fall via Republic Nashville. It will be released digitally on June 4.

Arsonists Get All The Girls to Release New Album, ‘Listen to the Color’

Arsonists Get All The Girls are one of my all-time favorite bands. I’ll never forget the first time I heard “Scobra vs. Cupcake: Battle of the Bulge” and completely lost my shit. At the time, I had never heard anything quite like it or the entirety of Hits From The Bow. This is one of the main reasons I’m incredibly excited to find that AGATG will be releasing a new album, entitled Listen To The Color, because according to the press release, they claim to be “resurrecting their thrashy quirky roots.”

AGATG have had endless roster changes and …
