If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Francois Rudaz Minneapolis group The Modern Era is back with their first new music since 2016. "Dear Anyone" is a killer alt-rock song that sounds like it was lifted straight from the 1990's. This could easily have been on a CD sampler that you picked up, and ended up becoming your favorite song on the compilation. The bass line in particular sounds extremely 90's, in the best possible way. "Dear Anyone" is giving me late 90's flashbacks, back when guitars were still grungy, but the songs were getting a little more polished and grooved a bit more. We're just discovering The Modern Era, but we're thrilled they're back with new music. You can watch the video for "Dear Anyone" below. The Modern Era have a new album due sometime in 2026.

Photo by Katy McElroy Detroit experimental supergroup Winged Wheel have a brand new single out that pushes their sound forward. "I See Poseurs Every Day" is a shockingly groovy and noisy single that is heavily rooted in psychedelia. There are some elements of proto-punk, garage rock, folk music, and funk throughout the song. Interestingly, while most modern experimental music tends to look to the future for inspiration (either electronic or pure noise), Winged Wheel look towards the past. "I See Poseurs Every Day" is more along the lines of classic rock than a modern sound. This is like an unexpected melding of The Stooges, ZZ Top, and Neil Young. In other words, this song is fantastic. You can watch the video for "I See Poseurs Every Day" below. Desert So Green is due out January 9 on 12XU, and is available to pre-order through Bandcamp .
