The youngest and perhaps most hyped member of the Odd Future contingency, Earl Sweatshirt is affirmatively back on the map with his first headlining tour. After disappearing into the ether just as Odd Future began to gain steam, the 19-year-old Earl has returned with a decidedly more mature and focused LP entitled “Doris.” The borderline misogyny of his previous LP has been replaced with a welcome portion of introspection (specifically on track “Chum”), while his razor sharp wordsmithery remained.

Following in the footsteps of Texas Is The Reason, Title Fight is the latest alternative rock group to put forth a release under the banner of legendary hardcore label Revelation Records. Entitled “Spring Songs,” the mopey subdued vocals and fuzzy washed out guitars on “Be a Toy,” the first track off the record to stream online, seem to indicate that the 7” will be consistent with the bands transformation from a melodic hardcore act to shoegaze aficionados. To promote the effort, they’re going on tour and taking an eclectic slew of artists with them, including Balance and Composure (fresh off the release of their new LP “The Things We Think We’re Missing”) and Cruel Hand.

Break out the leather jackets and get ready to pogo like it’s 1977. The 21st century’s answer to the Ramones, The Spits are bringing back single speed power chord driven punk rock, and they’re doing it damn well. The Kalamazoo based garage punk quartet are hitting the road to promote their latest release “Kill The Kool.”
