Everyone for Ten Minutes
Dirty Hit
Pop/Rock
The band navigates life's dance between joy and grief by adding earthier sounds and candid songwriting to their anthemic style.

Gravity Freeze
Easy Eye Sound
Pop/Rock
Tightly wound and somewhat restrained, the trio dig into some low slung grooves and tough ballads while occasionally bursting out in gnarly guitar workouts.

AllMusic Staff Pick – May 23, 2026
Astrobrite
Crush
2001
Alternative/Indie Rock
An offshoot of noise-gazers Lovesliescrushing, Astrobrite is more melodic and pop-oriented, but still often sound like they're being blasted from jet engines rather than speakers. Their debut album (actually recorded to four-track cassette in the mid-90s) is a near-perfect batch of forlorn melodies drowning in feedback noise and trippy effects. There's also a more professional-sounding studio re-recording called Super Crush, which also sounds nice, but the original versions on Crush are mind-blowing.
