So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
OZZY OSBOURNE - "NOTHING FEELS RIGHT" (ft. ZAKK WYLDE)
The latest taste of Patient Number 9 is a collab with longtime Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde, and it finds the Prince of Darkness exploring his ballad-driven side with his trademark sneer sounding as unmistakable as ever.

PIXIES - "DREGS OF THE WINE"
Pixies' new album Doggerel is out at the end of the month and they've just shared this song from it that definitely sounds like them...by way of some The Who-style windmill power-chords. Black Francis says it's about, “Living in Los Angeles in the ‘90s with my then-wife, hanging out with Joey and his ex-wife, lots of trips to Las Vegas, a lot of drinking, little bit drug taking, some genuine good times.”

LAMBCHOP - "LITTLE BLACK BOXES"
"This song was created in a hot, sweaty, smoky, room on a mid-July evening, filled with six or seven sweaty Minnesotans, four or five laptops, a piano, a smoke machine, and some laser lighting all throbbing to an undeniably infectious groove, it’s a wonder we all survived," says Lambchop's Kurt Wagner. "But here we are. Lightning in a beer bottle." Lambchop's new album, The Bible, is out September 30.

COURTNEY MARIE ANDREWS - "THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS"
‘These are the good old days’ is a saying my uncle always says to try and remind us of the beauty of the now,” Courtney Marie Andrews says of this new song. “I tend to always live in a constant state of hindsight being 20/20, and I wanted to write this as a sort of mantra to honor my family's sentiment. I also genuinely wanted to write a feel-good song after such a dark few years. Even in the saddest of times, there are little moments you’ll always look back on with a fondness that don’t seem so sad after all— they seem perfectly placed.” Her new album Loose Future is out October 7 via Fat Possum.

S.C.A.B. - "TUESDAY"
Brooklyn band S.C.A.B. will release their self-titled sophomore album on November 1 via Grind Select. First single "Tuesday" is propelled by a driving bassline and shimmering guitar lines. "'Tuesday' is a song about disillusionment with trying to form meaningful connections, and searching aimlessly for something worthwhile," says frontman Sean Carmargo. "There's a scene from Seinfeld where Newman says 'Tuesday has no feel. Monday has a feel, Friday has a feel...' and that type of unspecific, hard to pinpoint vibe is what I wanted to express with the lyrics... you're trying to get through the week, find any ounce of happiness to cling on to (sitting in the sun, feeling it burning your skin), looking for something but not finding it.”

AOIFE NESSA FRANCES - "THIS STILL LIFE"
Aoife Nessa Frances' anticipated new album Protector is out in October, and the latest single is "This Still Life," which Aoife says "is about the juxtaposition of feeling small in an endless universe while reflecting on the significance of my own birth and existence. It’s about learning to move slowly through the world, listening to nature, and trusting that I can find my answers within."
--
MARLON WILLIAMS - "DON'T GO BACK"
“There are a lot of New Romantic influences in ‘Don’t Go Back,’” says New Zealand's Marlon Williams of his new song from the upcoming My Boy. “I love the songwriting and over-the-topness of bands like Duran Duran. I was too young to have a sense of it the first time around, but at least to the modern ear there’s a silliness to the pathos in that music that definitely had an influence on the tone of the record.”
--
THE AFGHAN WHIGS - "A LINE OF SHOTS"
The Afghan Whigs' new album How Do You Burn? is out this Friday, and just ahead of that they've shared the video for "A Line of Shots." Directed by Patrick Pierson, it sets the widescreen, anthemic song to a roller disco setting, complete with some cool choreography.
--
SORRY - "KEY TO THE CITY"
Sorry's anticipated new album Anywhere But Here will be out next month, and they've just shared another track from it.
