Josh and Noelle Bohannon, of Nashville wife & husband duo Neon Moon, raised the eyebrows of Americana fans back in 2017 with their debut EP 6:53. Now, having relocated 2,000 miles west to Los Angeles, they’re back with new single “Smoking Gun,” a song that satisfyingly indulges the more polished, countrified side of Neon Moon’s sound.

Glide Magazine debuts Church Girls’ new video for “Could’ve Been,” calling it a “riveting exhibition of rock.”
Church Girls—Philly’s emerging indie-punk outfit—delivers urgent catharsis on The Haunt (out NOW on Anchor Eighty Four Records) providing “a glimmer of hope amidst nihilism,” says bandleader Mariel Beaumont. The record tackles themes of addiction and despondency in a poetic will to move forward towards healing and developing healthier habits. The group has been busy since their last, critically acclaimed EP, Cycles. The band is currently on their longest U.S. tour yet, in support of their sophomore LP, The Haunt (out now via Anchor Eighty Four), produced by Scott Solter (Spoon, St. Vincent, The Mountain Goats).
The Big Takeover debuts politically charged lead single + video from Margaret Chavez, “The Croupiers Unite I.C.E.”
Austin, TX-based freak-folk/ space rock outfit Margaret Chavez is the psychedelia-steeped project of founder Marcus Striplin.
Margaret Chavez’s upcoming socio-politically relevant, folk-rock opus, Into An Atmosphere, will arrive on July 31st via We Know Better Records. The LP was mastered by Greg Calbi (Bowie, Springsteen, Bon Iver) and also worked on by Striplin’s longtime recording partner Stuart Sikes (Cat Power, Loretta Lynn, The White Stripes, Phosphorescent), as well as Paul Williams and Don Cento.
The Deli Magazine NYC debuts Couvo’s “sweetly sorrowful” new single, “Still Hanging On”
It’s an unfortunate truth that, with the passing of time, we tend to lose touch with those that matter most to us, a fact that’s become abundantly clear to Bushwick-based indie pop artist Couvo as of late. His new single “Still Hanging On” is an ode to old acquaintances and relationships that come with the changes inherent to life, a shoutout to erstwhile friends in his hometown of Manchester, Connecticut, channeled through bright, downtempo indie pop reminiscent of the Morning Benders and pre-Powerman Kinks.
