Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band New Threats From The Soul

This Ryan Davis is a happening type. A longtime mainstay of the Louisville, Kentucky, alternative arts and music scenes, he also co-founded the multimedia Cropped Out festival and runs his own Sophomore Lounge record label. He’s also a virtuoso storyteller, whose songs are mostly vast unfurling narratives with more verses than a poetry anthology. Davis served time previously in State Champion, across whose four albums of mostly familiar alt.country – think Son Volt, Silver Jews – there are tantalising hints on tracks like “Death Preferences”, “There Is A Highlights Reel” and “Brain Days” of the music he’s currently making...

Penomeco’s “My Chick”: A New Sound of Artistic Freedom in 2025

Penomeco is in a rare position right now—post-label, post-crew, but somehow more expansive than ever. His latest single, “My Chick,” featuring Lil Cherry, feels like a recalibration of what artistic freedom can sound like when it isn’t forced to prove itself. It’s raw, confident, and self-contained—a mission statement disguised as a late-night ride. This isn’t about genre exploration so much as genre erosion. There are traces of Afrobeats woven into the percussion, but they’re filtered through Penomeco’s restless instincts. The verses stretch, contract, and warp around the beat like he’s reprogramming it as he goes. It feels less like...

Tarric Confronts the Quiet Collapse on “Lying With You”

It’s easy to talk about love when everything is going right. Tarric ’s new single “Lying With You” is about what happens when it all quietly falls apart—and you stay anyway. Built on glimmering synth textures and hollowed-out percussion, the track is emotionally raw but musically composed, like a breakup conversation in a perfectly curated gallery space. Tarric doesn’t scream through the pain—he whispers it with precision. “You make me say things I would not do / Cause I’ve been lying with you,” he sings, peeling back the layers of emotional self-distortion that creep into relationships like mold under...

Poor Creature All Smiles Tonight

The great success of Lankum, and their producer John “Spud” Murphy’s ubiquity across the sonically radicalised new Irish trad scene, can make it seem as if Ye Vagabonds, ØXN, John Francis Flynn and co comprise an essentially single entity, passing through Murphy’s studios for ocean-deep overdubs as centuries of lyrical heritage are challenged and channelled through doomy, bestial drones.

Wet Leg Moisturizer

From The Rolling Stones to Robert Palmer, love as a medical emergency is a perennial theme for songwriters. Well, sound the alarm and send out the paramedics once again, because Wet Leg are in love. It’s all over their second album, but explicitly ringing out as a klaxon call on current single “CPR”. “Hello 999, what’s your emergency?” asks Rhian Teasdale with call handler calm before making her orgasmic self-diagnosis: “I…I…I…I…I…I’m in love.” And when Teasdale sings she’s in love, you’d best believe she’s in love, however you want to spell it. THE NEW ISSUE OF UNCUT STARS BRUCE...
