Boyhood is the bedroom-pop project of Ontario's Caylie Runciman. Her newest single, "A Grand Time," is an engaging single that shows just what can be done with bedroom pop in 2026. This is the kind of song that would have made the MTV Buzz Bin back in the 90's, and never would have been considered pop. Going by that era of music, this is reminding me of artists like Poe or Ruby mixed with Prince. As modern pop as "A Grand Time" is, there's a lingering sense of darkness behind the song. It's haunting, and seductive, and impossible to resist. Don't let the bedroom-pop label scare you away from Boyhood. This is much closer to indie and alt-rock than anything on the Top 40.

You can watch the video for "A Grand Time" below. The single is out now on Hand Drawn Dracula. For more on Boyhood, check out the artist on Instagram. Upcoming tour dates are below the video and include June 24 at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA with Of Montreal.

Glixen - "all tied up"

Photo by Jocelyn Pacheco Phoenix's Glixen have quickly become our favorite heavy shoegaze band, and songs like "all tied up" will show you exactly why. This new single might be the most classically shoegaze song they've released to date. It sounds like it could be a lost song from the Loveless sessions. It's filled with a heavy wall of fuzz and lumbers along at a midtempo pace. As always, Aislinn Ritchie's vocals have a slight pop sheen to them, even if they tend to take a backseat to the music surrounding her. This mixed with the absolutely punishing drums throughout "all tied up" make it a heavy shoegaze instant masterpiece. Aislinn Ritchie says of her band's latest single: “‘all tied up’ is about feeling completely consumed by someone.  We definitely wanted the song to feel enveloping. There’s a subtle tension that builds throughout with a push and pull between the guitars and vocals. The song hits hard with its emotional depth, yet breathes w...

Lydia Loveless - "Sex and Money"

Photo by Jillian Clark There's a ton of buzz about the upcoming album from Lydia Loveless, and I may be a gushing fanboy at times, but her latest single may be her best in her career. "Sex and Money" is this perfect mix of all the phases of Loveless' career. It has the twang of her earlier alt-country classics, the noise and punk that has always been front and center during live shows, and the more pop side that has been on more recent albums. "Sex and Money" could be a trainwreck of a song, but Loveless has melded these genres into this perfectly structured song. Sometimes you just hear a song and know it's something truly special, and that's what this one is. It's the kind of song that you instantly fall in love with and want to share with as many people as possible. Lydia Loveless says of their new single: "This one was written at an Airbnb in Austin on some late tour night where there’s a bottle and a guitar and everyone’s giggly. I’ve t...

Die Spitz - "Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry for the Delay)"

Photo by Anatheme Austin's Die Spitz have a new single out, and despite it being called "Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry for the Delay)," don't expect this one to be pop punk at all. This new song starts out as a moody alt-rock song, maybe a little too heavy to be slowcore but along those lines. But then it kicks in, and Die Spitz's grunge and metal influences come rocketing to the front. This is a loud and noisy song reminiscent of bands like Mudhoney and PJ Harvey. Besides the driving and fuzzed out guitars is one of the greatest rock growls of this decade. "Pop Punk Anthem (Sorry for the Delay)" barrels straight outta your speakers with such a fury that you'll wonder if Die Spitz were truly in control of the song when it was recorded. Ava Schrobilgen says of the band's latest single: “It may sound like a love song at first, but when the beat kicks in it’s the obsession that takes over. The words ‘you’re a part of me’ sound loving but it can be an insan...
