The Gotobeds
Give me a minute or three to extol the virtues of The Gotobeds, the modern rock and roll sensation that has always sounded like they love to play. Never maligned by having the world’s weight on their backs, The Gotobeds – Cary, TFP, Eli and Gavin – return to the fray with their third full lengther, ‘Debt Begins at 30’. The esprit de corps and anxiety-free joy that permeates their other LPs and EPs remains intact. The octane is high-test, the engine still has knocks and pings and the battery is overcharged. The Gotobeds – as Pittsburgh as it gets, the folk music of the Steel City – have more tar for us to swallow. Debt Begins at 30 is an old-fashioned blast furnace and the liquid iron flows. Debt Begins at 30 is not “pub sop” in any way or shape. Though I never considered The Gotobeds a band that needed assistance from their peers, Debt Begins at 30 features outside contributors on every track. The album’s first single, “Calquer The Hound,” includes local buddy Evan Richards, and Rob Henry of Kim Phuc. “Calquer The Hound” has euphony, a sly bridge, plenty of trademark bash, and a spacey outro. It’s a sanguine album opener, more Al Oliver than Starling Marte. On “Twin Cities,” the lads tap Tracy Wilson, formerly of Dahlia Seed and currently of Positive NO!, to share the vox, and the result is an exuberant pop song proving The Gotobeds benefit from women ruling the scene. “Twin Cities” is more Dakota Staton than Don Caballero. “Debt Begins at 30,” the title trackular, includes the wizardry of Mike Seamans and legend Bob Weston. It’s a brooding romp with tribal beats and slash-and-burn guitar, more Rocky Bleier than Le’Veon Bell. Unsurprisingly, The Gotobeds called partners-in-rock-crime Protomartyr a coupla times, with Joe Casey bolstering “Slang Words” and hook-fiend Greg Ahee shredding on “On Loan.” “Slang Words” is a savory wrecking ball with a crunching bite, more of a soft shell crab sandwich from Wholey’s Market than a 4am slop feast at Primanti Brothers. “On Loan” is an anthemic jangle-fest with high-arcing fret work, more Karl Hendricks (rest his soul) than “Weird Paul” Petroskey. Silkworm guitarist Tim Midyett is tapped on “Parallel,” a grand song that enters a world of whimsy, melodic and uncomplicated, more Jaromir Jagr than Sidney Crosby. The likes of 12XU label boss Gerard Cosloy, Tre Orsi’s Matt Barnhart, the wonderful Victoria Ruiz of Downtown Boys, Pittsburgh wordsmiths Jason Baldinger and Scott MacIntyre, and yours truly strut stuff on other tracks. In my case, I just scream “dross” on “Dross” several times. Good judgment on the part of The Gotobeds to know that’s the best I can do, more Max Moroff than Andrew McCutchen. Anyways, The Gotobeds have quickly reached the veteran stage, but, based upon Debt Begins at 30, their best days are ahead of them. It’s a pleasure to be associated with such an excellent band.

With more than 230 million career streams and over 800,000 followers across social media, the Nashville-based pair have carved out a sound all their own, blending the raw energy of metalcore with the grit and storytelling of country music. Dubbed “weekend warriors–turned–Music Row favorites” by The Tennessean, Lakeview have become one of the genre’s most exciting independent success stories. Following the release of their debut album, the duo spent 2025 on the road, playing 115 shows for more than 400,000 fans worldwide while sharing stages with Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin, Staind, Dustin Lynch, Chase Matthew, and Warren Zeiders. Their breakout momentum has continued into 2026 with “Wreck My Night,” one of the most requested songs on SiriusXM The Highway since its release. Now, Lakeview are hitting the road on their biggest headline run to date. The 30+ city “Wreck My Night Tour” will bring the duo’s high-energy live show to fans across the United States from August through November, already anticipated to be one of the best live club shows in country music.
The Sleights
The Sleights – The Sleights are a punk rock band hailing from Colorado Springs. Pulling from its strong punk rock and rock & roll roots, the band keeps the music short and simple, and the live shows fast and fun. The band has recorded 2 EPs and three LPs, the third of which will be released in mid 2026.https://thesleights1.bandcamp.com/Goners UK – Few bands consistently bring the energy that Goners UK brings; whether on record or live shows, the hometown heroes are unwavering in their delivery of fast paced, heavy handed, no-bullshit punk rock. Hailing from the snowy caps of Bozeman, Montana, the quintet stops at literally nothing to bring their storied tunes to every corner of the map. https://gonersuk.bandcamp.com/

housewares
housewares is a new project by Fromanhole’s Doug and Daryl Kiser. Jason Koba of Thunder Power on drums, Scott Klemmensen of Reset on vocals, and Andy LaChance on keyboards. melodic, probably technical, with elements of post whatever, jazz, blues and maybe some country. Self-Evident can’t be easily categorized. Sure, the Minneapolis trio’s music includes aspects of punk, indie rock, and post-rock, but the sum of their parts is something more interesting and uncommon. While the band’s career spans two decades, it’s this combination of influences that has gotten them noticed of late. The Sun-Less Trio (often a quartet or duo) is a group out of Omaha that lacks hard definition. Their dark jazz influenced rhythms are often as cold and moody as the films they project behind them. At times straight up eighties. Be prepared for the occasional triangulation a la Barrett-Crazy Horse-R.S. Howard guitar frenzy. Yet at times soft as a pillow. One comparison that crops up duals as an art form; Karate. Recording Styles and Techniques. These sessions were the result of recording live to tape, 8-tracks in particular. A fold-down would generally take place. This is where you record 5-6 tracks of instrumentation live then mix, obtain another 6 tracks of recording. The additional tracks would often contain vastly different instruments remixed along side the initial mix. Not too different from say a late ’60s session squeezing 18-20 instruments onto 8 tracks of tape.
Homestyle Dinner Rolls
From their name to their music to their beautiful hair, Homestyle Dinner Rolls is bound to turn heads. Crashing onto the underground Utah scene in 2020, HDR has made a name for themselves opening for artists such as Jeremy Jordan, Dexter and the Moonrocks, and Winona Fighter. Called “a Provo favorite” by Provo Music Magazine, each show they put on is a spectacle; “And boy do Homestyle Dinner Rolls know how to loosen an atmosphere and encourage interaction.” With plans to tour in early 2026 and an increasingly popular online presence, Homestyle Dinner Rolls is bound to be the next big name in rock. Even if it is a silly one.
Ghostlike
TERRAIN
Under the leadership of vocalist/guitarist Randall Mentzos, TERRAIN has spent the last decade-plus morphing from a scrappy pop-punk band to a solo acoustic project to its current form as a bombastic, charismatic prog-punk powerhouse. Fans of Proper., Bartees Strange, and Honey and Salt would enjoy TERRAIN’s sound. The band will tour the East Coast and Midwest this autumn to promote its upcoming album Chasm, which will be released this year.
Surely Tempo
Surely Tempo is a 5-piece indie rock band from Santa Ana, California, known for their melodic sound, energetic live shows, and steady organic growth. Since forming in 2020, the band has built a strong following through consistent releases, touring, and viral content. They’ve accumulated millions of streams across platforms and sold out notable Southern California venues including The Glasshouse in Pomona and The El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. Surely Tempo has also supported Enjambre on two national tours. Their latest album, Against All Odds, reflects themes of ambition, frustration, and pushing forward despite setbacks, capturing the band’s current momentum as they continue expanding their reach. They are currently in the works on their next full album “Mr.Metronome” which is set to release later in 2026.
