Their musical sound continues to mature blending punk, pop punk, new wave, and surf rock sounds documenting the personal and the political.

This one's a blast, just came out yesterday. Big contender for me this year, already. This is 'Slab Songs' by ANYTIME COWBOY (illustrator Reuben Sawyer) from California. Lo-fi, catchy, weird, dark, simple, folk, sometimes jangly, twangy, post-punk, punchy. ffo early Beck, Adam Green (Moldy Peaches), Guided by Voices.

https://anytimecowboy.bandcamp.com/album/slab-songs

(Reuben's been doing the Anytime Cowboy thing for a while, and has a bunch of earlier stuff that I checked out too, but THIS record this year is TIGHT and really brings together everything great about what he does. 🔥)

OCTOBER 2025 WRAP UP

3boats— shoot (LP)

Release Date: Oct. 1, 2025

City: Cambridge

Genre: Folk

3boats’ debut album shoot is a collection of lo-fi songs and recordings that are quaint and intimate. Listening through the project from beginning to end feels like floating through a dream, with many of the songs intertwining modest acoustic guitar, soft blurry soundscapes and the occasional charming sound bite.

Space Kitchen— “It’s My Passion” (Single)

Release Date: Oct. 8, 2025

City: Kitchener

Genre: Art Rock

Drawing inspiration from 1970s art and progressive rock icons such as Rush, Yes, King Crimson and Electric Light Orchestra, Space Kitchen presents a familiar sound infused with their own unique DIY aesthetic. “It’s My Passion” features both keys and lead guitars that work playfully together to create a captivating theatrical performance.

Arcade Allstars—“Fare Thee Well” (Single)

Release Date: Oct. 17, 2025

City: Kitchener

Genre: Ska, Punk

With a blisteringly fast pace, an infectious groove and some spotlight-stealing brass and saxophone, “Fare Thee Well” is guaranteed to get listeners up and dancing. This is the latest single off Arcade Allstars’ forthcoming sophomore full length album Destined 4 Disaster which is set to release Nov. 7, 2025, on Pink Lemonade Records.

Frank Dux—“She Said, He Said” (Single)

Release Date: Oct. 22, 2025

City: Kitchener

Genre: Grunge, Shoegaze

Deeply personal and unapologetically vulnerable, “She Said, He Said” is a song about believing survivors of assault. The chaotically hazy and loud distorted instrumentation perfectly complements the band’s lyrical message which attempts to raise awareness about the problematic culture of misogynistic skepticism.

Courtney Wolfe—“Wild Card “(Singles)

Release Date: Oct. 24, 2025

City: Kitchener

Genre: Singer-Songwriter, Indie Pop

Delicately balancing on the line between airy pop and bold indie rock, “Wild Card” is a captivating lyrical exploration of temptation inspired by Courtney Wolfe’s personal experiences while remaining deliberately ambiguous. Wolfe puts forth a message of ownership and hopes for her listeners regardless of the vice they may be struggling with.

Mike Patton And The Avett Brothers Share New Single From “AVTT/PTTN”

Photo by Crackerfarm

The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle) join forces on “Heaven’s Breath,” the final preview from their collaborative album AVTT/PTTN, out November 14 via Thirty Tigers, Ramseur Records, and Ipecac Recordings. The gritty, fuzz-drenched rock track channels raw intensity and bold experimentation. Produced by Patton and the Avetts alongside Grammy-winning engineer Dana Nielsen, the album merges Patton’s avant-garde energy with the Avetts’ heartfelt songwriting. “Heaven’s Breath” embodies the project’s fearless spirit—an unholy fusion of folk, rock, and alternative edge. Pre-orders for AVTT/PTTN are now live, promising one of 2025’s most anticipated collaborations.
