Citizen

Hailing from Philadelphia and now based in the vibrant city of Charleston, SC, alt indie hip-hop duo Little Stranger (Kevin and John Shields, no relation but best friends) have spent years honing their signature sound and perfecting their version of the “organized chaos” that a Little Stranger live show entails. In an era where genre is increasingly irrelevant, Little Stranger delivers a fresh take on melodic hip-hop garnering comparisons to newer artists like Remi Wolf, Still Woozy, and Marc Rebillet but also the golden age of hip hop running into pop epitomized by early 2000s Timberland, Gorillaz and NERD.

oskar med k’s infectious blend of chill house melodies and club-ready grooves proves that subtlety can hit just as hard as spectacle. The Oslo-based producer’s music thrives on emotional finesse that connects as deeply on the dance floor as it does through headphones. After breaking onto the scene in 2024 with his debut album, Keep Your Feet, he cultivated a growing fan base with a steady stream of hit singles. His 2025 release, “Make Me Feel,” propelled him to viral success. Its success opened the door to a major collaboration with Khalid, pairing his polished production style with one of pop and R&B’s most distinctive voices, further cementing his crossover appeal. His latest single, “i think i’m addicted,” a collaboration with Haley Joelle, explores a softer emotional register, balancing vocal intimacy with spacious, synth-led production. Alongside his growing body of work, oskar med k has established a remarkable live presence, selling out stages across Europe and North America. His shows bring the raw intimacy and emotional depth of his recorded music to life as he performs on the floor just inches away from enamored audiences. He’s taking his immersive live experience to global audiences in Spring 2026, as he embarks on his first North American tour.

There’s always been something elusive about Channel Tres. Not mysterious in a calculated way more like someone operating on his own wavelength entirely. Channel Tres has always existed between scenes. Raised in Compton, he built his sound by pulling from house, rap, funk, and West Coast soul without fully belonging to any one world. That tension became his signature. Since emerging in 2018 with Channel Tres EP—powered by “Topdown” and “Controller”—he’s carved out a lane entirely his own: hypnotic club music with the weight and presence of hip-hop. His records move with restraint and confidence, balancing deadpan delivery, heavy grooves, and understated emotion. Over the years, Channel has collaborated across generations and genres, working alongside artists including Tyler, The Creator, KAYTRANADA, SG Lewis, and Jungle, while building a reputation as one of the most compelling live performers in electronic music. From underground clubs to the stages of Coachella and Bonnaroo, his presence has remained unmistakable: calm, magnetic, and impossible to pin down. His 2024 debut album, Head Rush, expanded that vision further, blending electronic production with R&B, rap, and psychedelic funk. But the anticipated follow-up, Enigma, marks a deeper shift. In early 2025, after parting ways with his previous label, Tres retreated to Topanga Canyon with little more than an MPC and a clear head. The isolation reshaped his process. Working alongside collaborators including Thundercat, Nick Sylvester, Pharrell Williams, he refined the sound he’s long described as “Compton House”—sleek, physical, soulful music that feels equally suited for headphones at 2 a.m. or packed rooms just before sunrise.

17 years into an impressive career, Citizen still feel like underdogs who have never quite fit in. The band’s persistent sonic evolution and refusal to make the same record twice has earned them a reputation as one of the most consistently captivating bands in modern rock music. But following your own path often means walking it alone, and their unlikely rise from a band of Toledo high schoolers to long-running headliners capable of selling out shows around the world has been hard-earned. It's precisely this commitment to their craft that has led to their new album, Halcyon Blues. It’s a dynamic and confident culmination of all that’s come before, making it crystal clear that for all their sonic restlessness, Citizen have always known exactly who they are. From the start, the band–vocalist Mat Kerekes, guitarist Nick Hamm, bassist Eric Hamm, along with newer members guitarist Mason Mercer and drummer Ben Russin–were steadfastly determined to follow their creativity wherever it led. Over the years they deftly moved through raw emo, menacing post-hardcore, anthemic alternative, garage-y indie pop, and so much more. Now Halcyon Blues brings elements from throughout their entire catalog together into a singular and instantly satisfying record that just sounds like Citizen. In the band’s earlier years, their sonic shifts were seen as a bug rather than a feature. “We’ve never easily known where we belong,” explains Kerekes.

Sitting at a corner café table, Benjamin Tod’s eyes light up when asked what it’s like to finally embrace happiness and accept love. With a slight grin, he sips his coffee and leans back, one arm draped casually and comfortably over the chair. “I’m kind of settling into my age, into allowing myself to be happy,” the 33-year-old says. “For years, I led myself and the people around me into a lot of unnecessary darkness. And now, I’ve learned how to give and receive affection — it’s helped heal a lot of parts of myself.” Tod’s demeanor is a far cry from his usual stiff posture stance with arms folded, this permeating sense of trepidation and scrutiny for what trouble may be coming down the pike. The relaxed, calm aura is a sign of a human being who has overcome lifelong personal demons, one who has finally become liberated — not only in his personal life, but also his music. “This latest record is so unusual for what I do,” Tod says. “It’s almost a spite album, to prove what I can do as a writer in whatever medium I step into.” Titled Shooting Star, the album carves a fresh creative path for Tod, a storied singer-songwriter and frontman of Lost Dog Street Band. The self-proclaimed “proprietor of misery,” Tod finds himself transcending into a life of gratitude, patience, and stability.

She Wants Revenge, the dark-alternative duo who first exploded onto the scene with the 2005 hit, “Tear You Apart”, are back with a new song, festival appearances, a new lineup, and a massive global audience hungry for the 3rd wave gothic rock they ushered in 2up and down decades before.

For Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin, She Wants Revenge began as a production duo making songs to DJ at clubs. But when a 3-song demo was passed to a friend, they signed to Geffen records, and soon the songs became the basis of their 2005 self-titled LP. They hit the road supporting Bloc Party, The Kills, and OKGO, and along the way, “Tear You Apart” became a bona fide hit. Soon they were opening for Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs, Placebo, co-headlining with Peter Murphy of Bauhaus, headlining Coachella alongside Daft Punk, and in constant rotation on alternative rock across the country. In under a year the oddball tune they thought to be an evil cousin of the B52’s and Wall of Voodoo saw them blitzing through the late-night talk show circuit, and with singles “Out of Control”, and “These Things” also climbing the charts, they went on to sell over 300,000 albums.

People have been arguing about punk rock since the big bang that created that high decibel universe. The Damned were at the heart of that revolution and have returned like resurrected vampires to take back the(ir) punk rock crown. Few bands have managed to maintain their manic muse, few bands have been key catalysts to a musical genre, few bands have managed to improve like fine old wines and few have managed to do it with such fantastic chaos, captivating style and shape shifting music as The Damned. Their mix of theatrics and raw power combine to create their vaudeville immaculate and gothic horror shivers, dark music hall anthems and a perfect punk rock.

Everything I Ever Saw finds the Menzingers entering a new era in what’s already been a storied career. The Philadelphia punk legends’ eighth album chronicles moments of significant change—the personal, the political, and the universal—while returning to the core creative principles that first put them on the map with listeners the world over. Twenty years in, the Menzingers have discovered that the wisdom gained with time’s passing is even stronger than the emotional armor they once wore in their youth, and Everything I Ever Saw captures the quartet embracing the here and now while strengthening the bonds that have held them together. Work on Everything I Ever Saw started in earnest after touring behind 2023’s Some Of It Was True, as the group felt a re-energized urgency while their worlds changed around them.
