    "Garage Rock": Let's All Stop Abusing the Term

    Will everyone please stop misusing the term "garage rock"? The phrase -- which once referred to maladjusted social deviants conjuring the feral essence of rock 'n' roll -- is now used by fans and critics alike to indicate any group of vintage retail employees recording mild pop music on a low-tech ...

    The 10 Best Underground Rock Reissues of 2011

    With the back catalogs of classic artists seeing rerelease with crucial bonus material, and boutique labels specializing in reissues of obscurities for niche consumers, 2011 was a superb year for reissues. There was such a wealth of substantive reissues that it was necessary to exclude some of the m ... More >>

    Grab the First Single From Weekend's Debut Album, 'Coma Summer'

    Brian Vu​When will shoegaze go out of fashion? If bands like San Francisco's Weekend keep making songs like "Coma Summer," not for a while.

The band's first new single in a couple years, "Sea Within a Sea," leaves the garage for the Warhol Factory, its video a dizzy s ... More >>
