It’s Labor Day weekend. Summer 2025 is bidding us farewell (though the heat isn’t), and falling into our speakers are some excellent “The” bands with new albums. These include raucous Swedish rockers The Hives, Canadian alt pop band The Beaches, beloved indie darlings The Beths and alternative noisemakers The Technicolors (read our review of the new album here).
Indie rock stars Spoon have returned with two new tracks to preview their next album. Thrice have unveiled the second single from their next album, while Jagwar Twin sucks you into his ‘loop’. Bright Eyes are joined by Hurray for the Riff Raff on their new single, while Cisco Adler has brought Andy Frasco & The U.N. in for his new track. There’s more power pop from White Reaper, and as Hayley Williams releases his previous 17 singles as an official album, she’s given us one more new track with it which we have for you.
Bon Jovi has a new song from his upcoming duet version of his last album that is full of Jersey pride.
