Today, The Men share the latest single, “Wasted” off forthcoming compilation of their earliest and rawest recordings, ‘Hated: 2008-2011’ (out next Friday, November 9 on Sacred Bones). For those who were at those early NYC shows, ‘Hated’ will be a welcome reminder of a glorious time in the underground. For those who weren’t, it’s a chance to experience The Men as the locals did, and to get a glimpse of a Brooklyn DIY scene that doesn’t really exist anymore, at least not in the same way. And for diehard fans of the band, it’s a reminder of how much they’ve evolved, and how much more evolution they still…

Seattle’s Sloucher will release their debut album Be True in two weeks, and today they’ve shared the record’s third single “Up & Down.” Stereogum premiered the song and video today, praising its “nimble, fluorescent guitars, slow tempo, and existential musings,” and writing, “The entire legacy of Pacific Northwest ’90s alt-rock is a lot to have hanging over your head as a new band. But the comparisons mostly just help to highlight the strength and steadiness of their melodic, emotive guitar rock.” Be True, which also features the previously released title track and “Perfect For You,” is out November 16 on Swoon Records and is available for pre-order HERE.

After the release of his acclaimed album Coup De Grace this past summer, Miles Kane has today unveiled brand new track “LA Five Four (309)” today.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have shared their version of the Tom Petty classic “Free Fallin’,” off their full album cover of Full Moon Fever. Billboard, who premiered the track and interviewed Pains frontman Kip Berman, write, “Pains’ take on ‘Free Fallin” sounds absolutely huge. Berman and company lean so far in to the this cavernous song that they sound as though they might never return. The acoustic guitar strums ring out from coast-to-coast, and Pains’ proclivity for echo and sparkle let Petty’s misty-eyed ballad tap into new levels of beauty.” LISTEN / SHARE: “FREE FALLIN'” The Pains of Being Pure at…
