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.
JEN RAZAVI (THE BOMBPOPS) - "SAW IN HALF"
Jen Razavi of LA punks The Bombpops has released her debut solo single, produced by Will Yip, and it's an acoustic guitar-fueled, '90s-style pop rock anthem that shows off a much different side of Jen's music than The Bombpops.

BONNY DOON – “ON MY MIND”
Bonny Doon have shared another laid-back track from their upcoming album Let There Be Music. "I realized at some point that most of my thoughts, in one way or another, are just about people I know," says the band's Bobby Colombo. "Partners, crushes, family, friends active and friends estranged, people you barely know but who somehow manage to take up outsized psychic space, people no longer with us on this plane, etc. I don’t really know, but I would guess that’s true for most people. That’s what this song’s about." Let There Be Music is out June 16 via ANTI-.

WOMBO - "SLAB"
Louisville band Wombo are following up last year's Fairy Rust with the Slab EP that will be out June 9 via Fire Talk. “The lyrics were drawn up as soon as we wrote the song, while staring at the concrete walls in Joel’s basement," says the band's Cameron Lowe of the title track and its video. "The video imagines what would happen if we literally removed the basement wall and instead opened it to a stream of random scenes and ideas like a pharmacy, a replica of Sydney’s house and front porch, the imaginary bedroom, and a journal entry of Sydney’s about a dream she had.”
