Tom Morello featuring Serj Tankian and Roman Morello - "Adjourn It"

I was in high school when Rage Against the Machine first exploded on the scene, so I'm thrilled every time anyone in that band comes out with new music. Recently, Tom Morello has been more prolific than usual, for... obvious reasons. The guitar icon has a brand new single out, and this one sees him joined by Serj Tankian of System of a Down and his fifteen year old son Roman Morello. "Adjourn It" absolutely rips, and is exactly what everyone would want from a pairing of members of Rage and System. It's a little more bluesy than you might expect (if you haven't been following Morello's solo work), and has verses by Morello and the chorus by Tankian. It's heavy, it's funky, and it's everything we all need right now. Obviously, crank "Adjourn It" loud, because it feels better that way.

Tom Morello says of his new single:

"At this historical juncture every act of art is an act of resistance and 'Adjourn It', a collaboration with long time friend Serj Tankian and my 15 year old guitar wiz son Roman Morello, is a clarion call for justice in unjust times. Produced by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Yungblud, Aerosmith) this latest tune from my upcoming solo album combines multi-generational Morello bulldozer riffs with the great Serj Tankian’s prophetic wailings. Inspired by the persecution of immigrants across the land and the heroic resistance to the rising tide of fascism it’s just about damn time to rock for freedom, justice and equality."

You can watch the video for "Adjourn It" below. The single is out now on Mom + Pop Records. For more on Tom Morello, check out the artist's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.

TORRES - "I got the fear"

Photo by Ebru Yildiz Somehow TORRES keeps surprising us with her music. The musical project of Mackenzie Scott has released a new single that features her vocals and acoustic guitar that would feel at home in a neo-folk song over a pre-programmed drum beat with sounds that at times are either a light squall of guitar feedback and electronic noises. The song has this haunting and unsettling feeling to it, despite sounding like it's trying to be upbeat. I'd say art doesn't always have to be a pleasant experience, but "I got the fear" can be a pleasant listening experience, except for the times it's not. Mackenzie Scott says of her latest single: “A collective dread has been mounting. Everyone I know is having a brawl with the universe, with themselves…wars, climate catastrophe, a pandemic, the worldwide regression on human rights, the political hellscape — it affects everybody, and I know we’re all feeling it in waves of varying degree all the time. I think it’s...

Indigo De Souza - "Heartthrob"

Photo by Hannah Sommer The latest from Indigo De Souza is a glorious mix of rock and pop music, stirred up in such a unique way. "Heartthrob" is an upbeat song that is guaranteed to make listeners want to dance. As dance focused as the song is, it has such a raw and rough element in its instrumentation that makes it rock based. Then there's De Souza's vocals that truly blend both genres. There's something a little extra rough about her singing that keeps the song from being pop, while she also has a slacker pop thing going on, too. "Heartthrob" might be the greatest definition of alt-pop possible. Indigo De Souza feels like one of those artists that is set to explode at any minute. Indigo De Souza says of her latest single: "I wrote ‘Heartthrob’ as a way to help process something that is often hard to talk about—the harmful ways I’ve been taken advantage of in my physical memory. ‘Heartthrob’ is about harnessing anger, and turning it into something ...

Julien Baker & TORRES - "Tuesday"

Photo by Ebru Yildiz Julien Baker and TORRES teaming up for a country album is one of the true joys of 2025. The pair's latest single, "Tuesday," is fronted by TORRES, and according to the press release is about "... trying to overcome and heal from the guilt, shame and religious abuse that so many people experience discovering their identity and growing up Queer." The song is a twangy, laid back country track that lands somewhere between classic country and modern pop music (but nowhere near the current country pop sound). I'm not typically a lyrics guy and don't normally pay attention to the lyrics of a song until after multiple listens, but the lyrics of "Tuesday" grabbed me immediately upon the first listen. This is the type of song that is going to demand your focus and attention.  You can watch the visualizer for "Tuesday" below. Send a Prayer My Way is due out April 18 on Matador Records, and is available for pre-order here . F...
