Song of the Day: Pylon “Cool”

Alex Deley  10:00 am on July 9, 2019July 9, 2019

“Cool” was Pylon‘s ironic emotional hot-take of a single about forging your own path artistically. The band took its own advise.

Song of the Day: Joy Division “Digital”

Alex Deley  10:00 am on May 31, 2019July 19, 2022

Joy Division‘s “Digital” is a pure-punk assault with the rest of the band rising to match Ian Curtis‘ bleak and paranoid vision.
