GUERILLA TOSS
Guerilla Toss have spent more than a decade carving out one of underground music's most unpredictable sounds, blending punk, dance, electronic, pop, and experimental influences into something entirely their own. On You're Weird Now, their fifth album and second for Sub Pop, the NYC band embraces creativity without compromise, turning "weird" into a celebration of artistic freedom, individuality, and community.
Recorded at The Barn in Vermont with producer Stephen Malkmus, engineer Bryce Goggin, and contributions from Trey Anastasio, You're Weird Now captures Guerilla Toss at their most focused and confident. The album refines the band's genre-defying approach into a vibrant, high-energy collection of songs that balances infectious hooks with fearless experimentation, delivering a joyful reminder that music—and the people who make it—is at its best when everyone is free to be themselves.

TRUTH CLUB
“So, how to proceed?” Travis Harrington asks on the final track of Running From the Chase, the commanding new album from Truth Club. How do you move forward when the present moment is rife with mounting challenges — when you’re caught between the weight of the past and the uncertainty of the future? Running From the Chase was written in part through a time of intense personal hardship for Harrington, but it was through these struggles he and his bandmates (drummer Elise Jaffe, guitarist/bassist Kameron Vann, and guitarist/bassist/singer Yvonne Chazal) gained a deeper appreciation of the power of their shared creative endeavor, both the cathartic release found in the dynamic squall of their music and in the friendships forged by this communal pursuit. Their album doesn’t have an easy answer to Harrington’s searching question, but under these songs’ bruising exteriors, you can hear the sound of a band looking towards one another to learn how to move forward.
Running From the Chase was recorded with producer and engineer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Snail Mail, Angel Olsen) at Asheville’s Drop of Sun Studios through the spring and summer of 2022. Farrar immediately made them feel right at home, which allowed the band to bring a sense of curiosity, commitment, and experimentation to the process. Dynamics were considered in songwriting as well as sequencing; off-kilter “77x” builds an eerie scene over a minimal slowcore foundation before the following track “Clover” thrusts into a playful headbanger.
Throughout Running From the Chase — whose title alludes to the need to balance one’s individual desires with external expectations and pressures — Harrington’s lyrics plunge into despair and frustration, confronting possibilities with a hint of hope and a strong undercurrent of dejection. The result is an album that’s sweeping and sophisticated, balancing considered introspection with a stunning, newly expanded sound.
