Best New Music This Week: Green Day, Upon Stone, Packs, And More
Every Friday, we challenge ourselves to sift through new music releases and curate a list of albums we think you should be listening to.
Leading the charge is the iconic punk trio Green Day with Saviors, their high-voltage return to form, followed by Upon Stone's haunting new album Dead Mother Moon. Toronto-based band Packs heats things up with the infectious energy of Melt the Honey, while Sleater-Kinney showcases their unyielding presence in the alternative scene with Little Rope. Rounding off our list this week is Seattle's Glass Beach, with their thought-provoking experimental album, Plastic Death and Toulouse-based psych-metal rockers SLIFT, whose latest album, Ilion combines cosmic explorations with the rawness of garage rock.
