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.
PHOSPHORESCENT - "STORMS" (FLEETWOOD MAC COVER)
Phosphorescent continues his 2022 monthly covers series with a lovely rendition of "Storms," the Stevie Nicks-penned gem from Fleetwood Mac's perennially underrated Tusk. He keeps the charm of the gorgeous original intact while making it sound like a Phosphorescent song.

PETE ASTOR - "FINE AND DANDY"
Former Weather Prophets and The Loft frontman Pete Aston has a new album Time on Earth that's out October 7 via Tapete. He's just shared "Fine and Dandy" from it which is a tribute to his former Creation Records labelmate Pat Fish (aka The Jazz Butcher) who died last year. “It’s always difficult to hear about an old companions passing," says Pete. "We shared a history together, sometimes close, many times not. But the loss ended up bigger than I’d imagined. There was a tribute show and without consciously intending to, a song came, as is often the way, stuff coming up from inside. I thought of him looking down on us from his version of heaven, and typically, telling us that all was well. Go well on the endless sea, my friend.”
