Darren Mueller Maps Jazz Power And Sound On ‘At The Vanguard Of Vinyl’ LP History
In ‘At The Vanguard Of Vinyl,’ music scholar Darren Mueller delivers a deeply researched and vividly written cultural history of the long-playing record and its transformative impact on jazz. Out now, the book traces how the LP revolution of the late 1940s opened space for longer performances, extended improvisation, and new recording practices while remaining entangled in the power structures of a segregated music industry. By focusing closely on studio processes and production decisions, Mueller shows how artists like Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Charles Mingus used the LP format as a creative and cultural tool, shaping how jazz sounded, circulated, and signified modern Black life. The book moves with precision and insight, turning grooves and playback time into evidence, and leaves a clear impression of how recorded sound helped redraw the boundaries of American music and meaning.
UK Beat Punk Band Kid Kapichi Fire Up “Shoe Size” And Announce ‘Fearless Nature’ Album
UK beat punk band Kid Kapichi charge forward with new single “Shoe Size,” a tense and hook-heavy track that sharpens their blend of grit, melody, and social awareness. Following “Stainless Steel,” the song locks into a pulsing groove and a chorus built for shouting back, carrying the weight of reflection without losing momentum.

“Shoe Size” arrives alongside the announcement of the full-length ‘Fearless Nature,’ out now via Spinefarm.

There is a confidence here that feels earned, the kind that fills a room and refuses to fade once the last note hits.
Brighton Punk Trio Self Torque Channel Identity Tension On “(All The Things I) Wannabe” And ‘A Brutal Nadir’
Brighton trio Self Torque step into a restless headspace with their new single “(All The Things I) Wannabe,” a sharp-edged snapshot of identity in motion. Written in a work van on a cold, wet day, the song pulls from Californian garage while staring down the contradictions of self definition. Guitarist and vocalist Gabriel MacKenzie frames the track as a study in internal conflict, with the music swinging between hard, fast pressure and a slow, doomy collapse thick with choir and reverb. The shifts feel physical, like gripping the wheel too tight, then letting go.
The single arrives alongside the debut full-length ‘A Brutal Nadir,’ out now via Sugar-Free Records. Recorded at Brighton Electric, the album was produced and mixed by Mark Roberts with additional engineering from Alex Gordon. Completed by drummer Luke Ellis and bassist Jay Cross, the band bring a tightly wound live energy shaped by years in the DIY punk circuit. The songs move with urgency and nerve, melodies cracked open by conviction and volume, and the record hits with the kind of force that makes shoulders tense and jaws set, then snaps back with clarity and resolve.
