Radiohead turned their 2017 Coachella headline set into a sonic labyrinth, drawing the Indio crowd deeper into their world with every note. Under a starry April sky, the British band, whose experiments reshaped the musical landscape, wove a tapestry of emotion and introspection built from atmospheric guitar swells and intricate rhythms. Thom Yorke moved across the stage with hypnotic grace, his piercing vocals seeming to drift in from another dimension, and at one point he paused to thank the crowd, sparking a wave of applause that became the set’s warmest moment. Jonny Greenwood layered the melodies with extra depth while abstract visuals played across the screens like reflections of the band’s own thoughts, deepening an already immersive experience. On one of the world’s most influential festival stages, Radiohead delivered a performance that felt like pure enchantment.
Reggae Favorites The Aggrolites Return With New LP ‘Super Atomic’
The Aggro-Nation can rejoice. The Aggrolites have returned with their new LP ‘Super Atomic,’ out now on Pirates Press Records, and LA’s finest purveyors of Dirty Reggae sound sharper than ever.
In the years since 2019’s ‘Reggae Now!,’ the band have stayed on the road almost without pause, circling the globe and spreading the Aggro Sound far and wide. “Since ‘Reggae Now!,’ our band has stayed committed to live entertainment,” says lead singer Jesse Wagner. “Refining our musical chemistry and continuing to carry the torch for Dirty Reggae.”
That relentless touring honed their famously tight playing to a razor’s edge, and they carried it straight into the studio. The follow-up to their beloved comeback record arrived bigger and more intentional, built on lyrics that balance grit with uplift. The band pushed one another hard, treating recording less like experimentation and more like execution, with every part forced to earn its place. The songs were written to land live, and that energy guided everything.
The high-octane grooves still leave room for melody and hooks, and the band approached the whole thing with fresh clarity and confidence. Lead single “Till the Wheels Fall Off” sums it up. “It’s about commitment, to the grind, to the music, to the vision. It’s all gas, no brakes,” Wagner says. “That song captures our live energy better than anything we’ve done. It’s a ride-or-die anthem. Keep going, no matter what.”
Elsewhere, Wagner describes “Musical Muse” as a love letter that became a song dedicated to the one thing that keeps him creating. “It felt like the words were being given to me. That’s why it says, ‘You write for me the sweetest song.’ That line is literal.” Throughout ‘Super Atomic,’ the groove remains the band’s guiding compass, and the result is a record that hits with real force.
NFB and Montreal Jazz Festival Team Up for Free CINÉJAZZ Film Series
Jazz and cinema make a perfect pairing, and Montreal is about to prove it. The National Film Board of Canada and the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal have teamed up for CINÉJAZZ, a free program of music-centered films running June 26 through July 4 at 3 p.m. at the Alanis Obomsawin Theatre.
The screenings take place inside the NFB’s Îlot Balmoral headquarters, just steps from Place des Festivals at the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles. The series gives filmgoers a chance to dig into the cultural forces behind jazz on screen, with a lineup of acclaimed music documentaries alongside a landmark of Quebec cinema.
Before each feature, audiences will see “Oscar,” Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre’s touching MJSTP Films/NFB co-produced short portrait of Montreal jazz legend Oscar Peterson. It’s a fitting overture for a program this rich.
The opening night film, “RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World,” tells an essential and long-overlooked chapter of American music, the Indigenous influence, featuring icons like Charley Patton, Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix and Robbie Robertson. The series moves through “Maroon: On the Trail of Creoles in North America,” which traces the Creole roots that helped birth jazz, and the intimate 1965 Direct Cinema classic “Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen,” which catches the poet at the dawn of his career in his hometown.
The final weekend brings “The Cat in the Bag,” Gilles Groulx’s defining work of Quebec cinema scored with music from John Coltrane’s ‘Blue World,’ followed by “Show Girls,” a celebration of Montreal’s swinging Black jazz scene from the 1920s to the 1960s, told through three women who danced in legendary clubs like Rockhead’s Paradise.
The screenings unfold during one of the world’s great music gatherings. Recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest jazz festival on the planet, the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal has spent over 40 years bringing living legends and rising stars together, with more than 350 concerts across ten days, two-thirds of them free open-air shows.
CINÉJAZZ Screening Schedule:

Saturday, June 27 — Maroon: On the Trail of Creoles in North America by André Gladu (1 h 25 min)

K-Pop Powerhouses Le Sserafim, Illit, and Katseye Join Forces on “Iconic By Mistake”
Three of the biggest girl groups on the planet just made fans’ wildest crossover dreams come true. Le Sserafim, Illit, and Katseye have teamed up for the surprise collaborative single “Iconic By Mistake,” arriving June 12 via Source Music / BeLift Lab / Hybe x Geffen Records.
Bringing together three globally recognized acts, the project marks a rare meeting of distinct artistic identities, each celebrated for its own style, vision, and growing worldwide impact. It’s the kind of summit that doesn’t happen often, and the anticipation has been building fast.
Each group has built its own dedicated global following on its own path, and “Iconic By Mistake” pulls those threads into a single track that spotlights the collective energy of a new generation of girl groups. The release plays as a celebration of individuality, confidence, and creative expression, three unique perspectives sharing one stage.
Coming together in a fusion of styles, Le Sserafim, Illit, and Katseye redefine what it means to become an icon on their own terms. The partnership promises a fresh, dynamic sound, and the buzz alone has positioned “Iconic By Mistake” as one of the season’s most hotly awaited drops.
Video: Revisit Noel Gallagher’s Triumphant 2012 O2 Arena Show in London
Noel Gallagher proved he could fill a room on his own terms at London’s O2 Arena on February 26, 2012, a standout night from the inaugural High Flying Birds Tour that was later immortalized on the live video album “International Magic Live at The O2.” Riding the momentum of his self-titled debut, Gallagher led the band through a set that blended his new anthems with iconic Oasis hits, delivering powerful renditions of “Everybody’s on the Run,” “If I Had a Gun…,” and “AKA… What a Life!” alongside crowd-uniting classics like “Supersonic,” “Half the World Away,” and a roof-raising “Don’t Look Back in Anger.”
Indie-Pop Standout Rachel Bochner Reckons With Her Past on “Happier You’re Gone (SASE)”
Sometimes the hardest goodbye is the one you say to yourself. Brooklyn artist Rachel Bochner makes that idea sing on her new single “Happier You’re Gone (SASE),” a sharp, emotionally charged piece of indie-pop that turns the wreckage of heartbreak into something liberating.
Bochner has built her reputation on candid lyricism and a willingness to dig into the messier edges of love, identity, and self-discovery. This single pushes that further. What first reads like a breakup song reveals itself as something more layered, a confrontation with the past self who stayed too long, ignored too much, or simply didn’t know better yet.
The meaning stretches in more than one direction. It could be aimed at a former lover, or at a more complicated internal farewell, but it ultimately lands as a letter of good riddance. “A post-breakup note, or a ‘see-you-never!’ to a formerly destructive self,” Bochner explains. After finishing the track she added “SASE,” for self addressed stamped envelope, to the title as a knowing detail for anyone paying close attention.
The song grew from a vivid dream in which she met a previous version of herself, and it captures a striking realization: she’s happy that earlier self happened, but much happier she’s gone. That duality gives the track its resonance, balancing raw vulnerability with hard-won resolve. Produced by Jackson Hoffman, it leans into an indie-pop landscape with alternative edges, pairing emotional weight with a textured, expansive backdrop that keeps Bochner’s voice front and center.
The single opens a window onto her upcoming album, a body of work rooted in the aftermath of a long-term relationship and the messy process of self-redefinition that followed. As a queer artist, Bochner’s experience sits at the heart of that shift. “I didn’t realize I was queer until my mid 20s,” she says. “Despite my best efforts, the life I’d spent years building no longer felt like home, it became a hand-built prison. Accepting that meant facing I had no choice but to leave it behind.” That turning point shapes a record moving through grief, identity, and the slow arrival of acceptance.
With “Happier You’re Gone (SASE),” Bochner does more than revisit the past. She rewrites her relationship to it, and hands listeners permission to let go, evolve, and find peace in who they’ve become.

Watch British Pathé’s 1968 Robots Predict the Future From a London Engineering Lab
The future arrived in 1968, and it had metal legs. This British Pathé newsreel takes us inside the engineering faculty at Queen Mary’s College in Mile End, London, where Professor M W Thring and his team show off a remarkable collection of early robots. Brian Shayer operates a model centipede walking machine, while Thring demonstrates a walking machine with metal legs, part of his research into powered limbs for people with limb differences, and it strides right across a table. Charles Ford runs a “Mole Miner” built to dig for minerals in places too dangerous for humans, a device imagined for a moon expedition, and then climbs into a step-climbing carriage whose wheel-mounted hooks haul it up a small stairway, designed to help Thalidomide survivors. A full-sized centipede machine even carries a man along, pitched for crossing swampy or lunar ground. The clip is a wonderful time capsule, equal parts hopeful science and retro-futurist imagination.
Handbell Ringers Clifton Turn “Dueling Banjos” Into a Viral Sensation
Who needs banjos when you’ve got handbells? The Clifton Hand-Bell Ringers’ senior team took the famous “Dueling Banjos” and reimagined it for their bells, performing it at the Slaithwaite Christmas Festival in December 2022. The back-and-forth call-and-response that makes the original so thrilling translates beautifully here, each phrase volleyed between ringers with precision and a grin, proving that a tune built for fingers and strings can absolutely fly in the hands of a skilled bell team.
Prog Rock Titans Kansas, Steve Hackett, and Asia Headline Cruise to the Edge 2027
The high seas are about to get a whole lot proggier. Cruise to the Edge, the world’s premier Progressive Rock cruise experience, has announced its eleventh voyage, setting sail April 2-8, 2027, from Miami aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Jewel.
The six-day, six-night full-ship charter will visit three ports across the Caribbean, with stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico, plus the private island of Harvest Caye, Belize. Public on-sale begins today (6/8) at 9:00 am PT / 12:00 pm ET, with cabins starting at $1,499.00 per person based on double occupancy.
Leading the bill are four prog heavyweights: Kansas, Steve Hackett, Big Big Train, and Asia. The full lineup stretches past 30 artists, a deep roster that mixes legends with rising stars and gives fans far more music than any single weekend on land could hold.
Returning cruise favorites include Haken, Pendragon, Neal Morse & The Resonance, Von Hertzen Brothers, Caligula’s Horse, Temic, Crown Lands, Spock’s Beard, and Moon Safari, alongside Jane Getter Premonition, Thank You Scientist, Rendezvous Point, Lari Basilio, Gazpacho, Dave Cureton, Dave Kerzner and Friends, Marbin, and Gabriel Agudo. Making their first CTTE voyage are The Dear Hunter, Lunatic Soul, Voyage 35, Ozric Tentacles, Cheeto’s Magazine, Mike Keneally & Beer For Dolphins, Haunt the Woods, Spafford, and Dim Gray. Official hosts Jon Kirkman, Roie Avin, and Mike Dawson return to moderate Q&As and activities.
The onboard experience reaches well beyond the stage. Cruisers can take part in artist photo experiences, Q&A sessions, and special theme nights, all designed to close the gap between performer and fan. The cruise once again features CTTE Late Night Live, billed as the largest pro-am showcase of live prog music in the world, hosted by Rob Rutz. Fans can sign up to perform across four scenarios, from jamming with a headline act on the Late Night Live Pro Jam to sharing the stage with prog legends on Artist’s Choice.
The ship itself is a destination. The namesake of Norwegian’s Jewel Class fleet, the Norwegian Jewel offers pristine staterooms, the award-winning Mandara Spa, and more than 25 dining and bar venues, including Cagney’s Steakhouse, Le Bistro, and the Maltings Beer & Whiskey Bar.
The three ports add their own flavor. Cozumel brings crystal-clear waters and world-renowned coral reefs along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, plus ancient Mayan sites and the colorful markets of San Miguel. Harvest Caye delivers a resort-style island escape with white-sand beaches, a lagoon-style pool with swim-up bars, and ziplining for the more adventurous. Costa Maya rounds things out with white-sand beaches, archaeological sites like Chacchoben and Kohunlich, and the laid-back beach village of Mahahual minutes from port.
More than a cruise, CTTE 2027 is a progressive rock festival at sea, where legendary artists, intimate venues, and stunning Caribbean destinations meet for one immersive journey through five decades of the genre. For a taste of what’s in store, the 2026 recap is worth a watch.
