What To See:
- Are you still in your Odd Future phase? Say no more: Earl Sweatshirt, member of Odd Future, is coming to the TLA on Monday. Doors at 8. Make sure to wear all your OFWGKTA gear so everyone knows you’re still about it.
- The Color Morale and some of Boston’s finest heavy rockers, Vanna, are playing the TLA on Wednesday. If you've already started getting frustrated with finals, we're sure this super angsty night of post-hardcore music will be great for you.
- There's this thing with Kesha and Kygo on Franklin Field this weekend. It's really underground. You've probably never heard of it.
What To Listen To:
- Dance Gavin Dance put out Instant Gratification on Tuesday. RIYL: getting stoned in your parents’ garage and listening to some smooth post hardcore.
- Feeling nostalgic for your middle school scene days? All Time Low released Future Hearts on Tuesday–it debuted at #2 on the charts, a career high.
- Brandon Flowers (The Killers frontman) released "Still Want You," the second single from The Desired Effect, which will be Flowers' second solo album. It's a far cry from "Mr. Brightside," but it's great to see the iconic Killers singer try new things.
What To Talk About:
- This is not a drill: Brand New really did write something! After teasing us for a week and sending the internet into a frenzy, Brand New opened their first set of this summer's tour with a new song. This is the band’s first new material since their 2009 record, the highly divisive Daisy.
- In other comeback news, pop rock band Acceptance has announced that they’re writing new music. This comes in the wake of the band announcing that they’re playing Skate & Surf, their first show since 2006.
- It's officially Coachella, so we're officially jealous and grumpy. Don't talk to us about that. But last weekend, Tyler, The Creator called the Coachella VIP section "soft," and we can't say we disagree with him.
