0

By Mitch Rice

Rosin has revolutionized the cannabis concentrate world with its solventless extraction process, preserving the plant’s natural terpenes and cannabinoids without chemical intervention. As we move through 2025, the rosin market continues to evolve with innovative products that deliver exceptional purity, potency, and flavor. Whether you’re a concentrate connoisseur or new to rosin, these seven products represent the absolute best the industry has to offer this year.

1. Tribetokes Premium Live Rosin Collection

Why It’s #1: Tribetokes has earned its position at the top of the rosin hierarchy through an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. Their Premium Live Rosin products Collection stands as the gold standard in 2025, setting benchmarks that competitors struggle to match.

What Makes It Exceptional

Tribetokes’ live rosin gummies are crafted from freshly frozen cannabis flowers, preserving the full spectrum of terpenes at their peak. The result is a concentrate that captures the authentic essence of the plant with unparalleled flavor profiles. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for potency and purity, with THC levels consistently ranging from 75-85% and terpene percentages that rival the finest extracts available anywhere.

The Tribetokes Difference

What truly distinguishes Tribetokes is their meticulous attention to every stage of production. From strain selection to final packaging, quality control is paramount. Their master extractors use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques refined over years of experience. The rosin maintains a perfect consistency—not too wet, not too dry—making it ideal for dabbing, vaporizing, or enhancing flower.

Strain Variety and Availability

Tribetokes offers rotating selections featuring both classic strains and exclusive phenotypes you won’t find elsewhere. Popular varieties include their flagship Wedding Cake live rosin, known for its sweet vanilla notes, and the incredibly terpy Blue Dream that delivers euphoric, uplifting effects. Limited-edition drops keep the lineup exciting for regular customers.

Value Proposition

Despite premium quality, Tribetokes maintains competitive pricing that makes craft rosin accessible. Their loyalty program and frequent promotions provide additional value, while their satisfaction guarantee ensures complete confidence in every purchase.

2. Hash House Premium Solventless Rosin

Hash House has built a solid reputation for producing clean, flavorful rosin using traditional techniques combined with modern innovation. Their cold-cure process results in a badder-like consistency that’s easy to work with and bursting with flavor. The brand focuses on single-source, small-batch production that emphasizes quality over quantity. Popular strains include their GMO and Papaya varieties, both praised for robust terpene profiles.

3. West Coast Alchemy Live Rosin Cartridges

For those who prefer convenience without sacrificing quality, West Coast Alchemy’s live rosin cartridges represent a breakthrough in portable concentrates. These carts contain pure live rosin with no cutting agents or additives—just cannabis oil and naturally derived terpenes. The 510-threaded cartridges work with most standard vape batteries, making them perfect for on-the-go use. Their Gelato and Sunset Sherbet carts are particularly popular among flavor chasers.

4. Mountain Select Fresh Press Rosin

Mountain Select specializes in fresh press rosin that maintains a wet, sauce-like consistency packed with flavor. Their unique approach involves minimal post-processing, allowing the natural terpenes to shine through. The brand sources from high-altitude grows in Colorado, where the ideal climate produces resinous flowers perfect for rosin extraction. Their Strawberry Cough fresh press is a standout product that delivers sweet, fruity notes with energizing effects.

5. Coastal Cannabis Co. Temple Balls

Temple balls represent an ancient concentrate tradition reimagined for modern consumers. Coastal Cannabis Co. hand-rolls their premium rosin into spherical temple balls that cure over several weeks, developing complex flavors and a smooth, hash-like consistency. Each temple ball is a work of art, providing a unique consumption experience. Simply break off a piece to dab or crumble into flower. Their OG Kush temple balls have achieved cult status among hash enthusiasts.

6. Summit Extracts Cold Cure Rosin

Summit Extracts has perfected the cold cure process, creating rosin with a creamy, badder-like texture that’s both beautiful and functional. Their technique involves storing fresh-pressed rosin at carefully controlled low temperatures for extended periods, allowing the concentrate to develop enhanced consistency and flavor. The cold cure method produces rosin that’s incredibly smooth to dab with minimal harshness. Their Purple Punch and MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) varieties are customer favorites.

7. Emerald Fields Hash Rosin

Hash rosin, made from bubble hash rather than flower, represents the pinnacle of solventless extraction. Emerald Fields produces exceptional hash rosin using ice water extraction followed by careful pressing. This double refinement process results in some of the purest, most potent rosin available, often testing above 80% THC with extraordinary terpene preservation. The consistency ranges from sauce to diamonds, depending on the batch. Their Zkittlez and Tropicana Cookies hash rosin are particularly sought-after.

What to Look for in Quality Rosin

When exploring rosin products in 2025, keep these quality indicators in mind:

Color and Clarity: Premium rosin typically ranges from light golden to amber. Very dark rosin may indicate old starting material or excessive heat during extraction.

Consistency: Whether you prefer badder, sauce, or fresh press, consistency should be uniform throughout. Separation or crystallization can indicate quality issues.

Aroma: High-quality rosin should smell strongly of the source strain with complex terpene profiles. Muted or off odors suggest improper storage or old material.

Lab Testing: Always verify that products include third-party lab testing for potency, terpenes, and contaminants. Reputable brands make this information readily available.

Source Material: The best rosin comes from premium flower or high-quality bubble hash. Brands that disclose their source material demonstrate transparency and confidence.

The Future of Rosin

As we progress through 2025, rosin continues to gain market share as consumers become more educated about solventless concentrates. Innovation in extraction technology, curing techniques, and product formats will likely accelerate. However, traditional craftsmanship—exemplified by brands like Tribetokes—will remain the foundation of truly exceptional rosin.

The products on this list represent the current state of the art in rosin production. Each offers unique characteristics that appeal to different preferences and use cases. However, Tribetokes’ Premium Live Rosin Collection stands above the rest through consistent quality, exceptional value, and a customer-first philosophy that has earned them the #1 position.

Whether you’re looking for the absolute best rosin money can buy or exploring the category for the first time, these seven products provide an excellent starting point. The solventless revolution is here to stay, and 2025 is the perfect time to discover why rosin has captured the hearts of cannabis connoisseurs worldwide.

Pro Tip: Store all rosin products in a cool, dark place—ideally in a refrigerator—to preserve terpenes and prevent degradation. Allow rosin to reach room temperature before opening containers to prevent condensation.

Folktronica Pioneers Tunng Return With Dreamlike New Single “Anoraks”

0

Tunng return with a beautifully psychedelic new single, “Anoraks,” out now on Full Time Hobby. Arriving just ahead of their UK and Paris headline shows this November, the track captures everything that’s made the folktronica pioneers so loved — warmth, wonder, and the kind of sonic storytelling that feels like stepping into a dream.

“Anoraks” closes a landmark year for Tunng, who celebrated two decades together with their critically acclaimed 20th-anniversary album Love You All Over Again in January, followed by a sold-out European tour. This new song, however, feels like a fresh chapter — an exploration of nostalgia, connection, and the strange magic that links us all.

Built around a lucid, dreamlike narrative, “Anoraks” blends interwoven acoustic guitars, shimmering electronics, and haunting percussion. Each member recorded their part separately — from Sweden, Margate, London, and Somerset — yet the final result is seamless, a testament to the group’s singular chemistry. As Sam Genders explains, “It fell in a bit like a dream… faster than I was able to write it down,” while Mike Lindsay recalls, “We knew we just wanted to write one really special song.”

Fans can experience that same magic live this November when Tunng take “Anoraks” and their 20-year legacy of innovation back to the stage.

Folk Duo Buffalo Traffic Jam Find Hope and Heart on New EP ‘Take Me Home’

0

Buffalo Traffic Jam are storming into the spotlight with their Take Me Home EP, out now on Arista Records. The Montana folk duo capture years of growing up and breaking through, wrapping raw emotion in harmonies as vast as the plains they come from. The result is a record that’s heavy, hopeful, and impossible to turn away from — a soundtrack for chasing the horizon.

Led by the aching title track, Take Me Home opens with Frankie Cassidy’s striking lyric, “I’ve been staring at the fire for a long time…” before blooming into mandolin, harmonica, and piano. Across six songs — from the cinematic “Comfort in Misery” to the stormy “Fool’s Gold” — the duo turn heartbreak into healing, their sound rooted in honesty and dust-kicked Americana.

After supporting Allen Stone and Bayker Blankenship and stealing the show at Salt Lake City’s RedWest Fest, the Bozeman pair are now on the road with Dylan Gossett’s The Westward Tour, bringing their rising folk anthems to bigger stages across North America. Next spring, they’ll join the lineup for Florida’s Tortuga Music Festival.

Avant-Garde Trio The Cry Unearth Sonic Brilliance on ‘The Lost Tapes’

0

The Cry return with The Lost Tapes, a stunning follow-up to their self-titled debut released on Gizeh last year. The Strasbourg-based trio — Christine Ott (ondes Martenot, piano), Mathieu Gabry (piano, synths), and Pierre-Loïc Le Bliguet (drums) — blend avant-garde jazz, krautrock, and contemporary classical in fearless form once again. These four unreleased tracks, improvised live in a single November 2022 session, capture the spark of that very first meeting between the three musicians.

Opening with two covers from related projects — Crossing by Snowdrops and Golden Valley by Christine Ott — The Lost Tapes flows effortlessly into two new improvisations: Oslo, a classic jazz reverie, and Épiphanie, a psychedelic, hallucinatory celebration of spontaneous creation. Each moment hums with intimacy and discovery, preserving the spirit of experimentation that defines The Cry.

Recorded live at Downtown Studios in Strasbourg and mixed by Sohlberg at Serpentine Studio, these “lost” recordings feel more like revelations. They invite listeners into the same charged space where genre dissolves and instinct takes over — a snapshot of creation in its purest form.

Three years after that fateful session, the trio reunited in Lausanne for the Interstices festival, performing pieces like Crossing and Fire of Love with the same daring chemistry. Two videos from that concert are now available, beautifully filmed by Benoit Lesieux with lights by Maxime Curvat — a visual echo of The Cry’s boundless sonic universe.

Blues-Rock Artist Lena Morris Turns Pain Into Power on New Single “Young Blood”

0

Lena Morris turns vulnerability into power on her new single “Young Blood,” the second release from her forthcoming EP Rouge, out this November. Opening with only piano and voice, it’s a quiet, confessional moment — fragile, unfiltered, and deeply human.

Halfway through, the song erupts. Live guitars, bass, and drums surge in, transforming that softness into an electrifying rock release. It’s both a personal reckoning and a communal roar — the sound of pain turning into strength.

Inspired by the melodic drama of classic rock, “Young Blood” captures everything that makes Lena Morris magnetic: emotional depth, raw energy, and fearless authenticity.

Free from autotune or digital polish, it’s more than a single — it’s a statement. With “Young Blood,” Lena Morris confirms herself as one of the most compelling and honest new voices in blues-rock today.

Country Newcomer Dalton Davis Makes Noise With Gritty New Single “Cows In The Front Yard”

0

Dalton Davis is bringing some dirt-road truth to country music with his latest single, “Cows In The Front Yard.” It’s a loud, gritty, and wildly catchy anthem that captures everything fans love about the genre’s new wave – fearless lyrics, real stories, and just enough Southern swagger to make you roll down the windows and turn it all the way up.

Alongside the single, the North Carolina native announced his signing to MCA/Republic Records, marking the start of a thrilling new chapter. “This record deal isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting gun,” Davis says. “Every song I’ve written up to now and every show I’ve played was just qualifying for the race, and signing with MCA/Republic means I finally get to run.” With that same relentless energy, he adds, “With two legendary labels in my corner and ‘Cows In The Front Yard’ ready to roll, the cowboy comes up starts here.”

Raised in Gastonia, North Carolina, Davis’s story is pure Americana – part gospel, part grit, and all heart. Adopted by touring gospel musicians, he learned early on the power of song and storytelling. Later, he sharpened his skills in studios with hip-hop producers, giving his sound a modern pulse beneath the twang and dust.

The result is something that hits as hard as a honky-tonk heartbreak and shines with the soul of a Sunday morning choir. Dalton Davis isn’t just stepping onto the country scene – he’s galloping straight through it, guitar in hand, ready to make every song count.

Country Star Scotty McCreery Brings Holiday Warmth With New Rendition of “White Christmas”

0

Multi-platinum and award-winning country music star Scotty McCreery is getting us all in the holiday spirit with the release of his rendition of the classic Christmas tune, “White Christmas,” out now via Triple Tigers. Written in 1942 by Irving Berlin, the song has long been a holiday standard that elicits a feeling of nostalgia and being close to the ones you love. McCreery’s take, produced by Frank Rogers, is a seamless extension of the song’s legacy and invites everyone to huddle around the fireplace surrounded by friends and family.

“I love Christmas music and sing it throughout the year,” McCreery says. “For a long time, ‘White Christmas’ has been one of my favorite Christmas songs. I especially love The Drifters’ version as well as Elvis’s version. I decided it was now time to do my own version. Hope everyone likes it!!”

Recently, McCreery was presented with an RIAA gold plaque for his seventh No. 1 hit, “Bottle Rockets” featuring Hootie & The Blowfish, making this his 11th song to receive either a gold, platinum, or triple platinum certification. The summertime anthem is featured on McCreery’s recently released EP, Scooter & Friends, as the perfect soundtrack to summer. The five-song collection also includes McCreery’s collaborations with one of his greatest musical heroes, R&B icon Charlie Wilson (“Once Upon a Bottle of Wine”) and with Country music hitmaker Lee Brice (“Whiskey Said”).

Up next, he will be co-headlining the Two for the Road Tour with fellow country star Dustin Lynch. The run kicks off on November 6th in Saginaw, MI. These will be the North Carolina native’s first concerts since the September birth of his second son, Oliver Cooke McCreery.

Rock Legends Aerosmith and Yungblud Team Up With Steve Martin for “My Only Angel (Desert Road Version)”

0

Aerosmith and Yungblud have shared “My Only Angel (Desert Road Version),” a stripped-back reinterpretation of the lead single from their upcoming collaborative EP One More Time, out November 21st via Capitol Records.

Inspired by the original track’s emotional core, the band and Yungblud returned to the studio to explore its more vulnerable side. During the session, Tyler—a longtime admirer of Grammy Award-winning musician Steve Martin—imagined the distinctive sound of a banjo bringing the song to a close. He reached out to Martin, who accepted the invitation and recorded his part remotely. The addition gives the new version its defining final moment: a soulful ending that trades the drive of the original for a grounded, textured feel, with Martin’s standout banjo solo carrying the song to its finish.

Serving as an introduction to the forthcoming EP, the original “My Only Angel” and its companion visual were released on September 19th, marking Aerosmith’s first new music in more than twelve years. The track opens with a stacked harmonic a cappella vocal from Tyler and Yungblud —“Will you cry if I called you my angel? Would you leave me one more time?”—the song builds around echoing guitars, a steady beat, and a rumbling bassline before swelling into the hypnotic harmony shared by Tyler and Yungblud. Perry’s signature solo closes the track, underscoring the chemistry between two generations of rock.

“My Only Angel” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, where it remained in the Top 10 for three weeks, and landed in the top 40 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, marking Aerosmith’s 45th appearance on the tally. It also entered at No. 20 on the Hot Rock Songs chart and No. 23 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. In its first week, the track amassed over two million streams, 1.4 million radio impressions, and 5,000 U.S. sales. Since its release, it has earned over 3,600 spins across nearly 70 active rock stations (currently charting at No. 11) and has surpassed ten million total streams.

Yungblud (real name Dominic Harrison) first linked with Aerosmith during a studio session for a guest feature on the nine-minute epic “Hello Heaven, Hello.” Their instant chemistry sparked a full writing session that led to the five-track EP with four original songs co-written by Aerosmith and Yungblud (with both frontmen sharing vocals) plus a newly remixed “Back In The Saddle.” Produced by Matt Schwartz, the collection captures Yungblud’s undeniable talent colliding with Aerosmith’s legendary musicianship: Perry’s guitars blaze with trademark grit and Tyler’s unmistakable voice intertwines with Yungblud’s across each track. Longtime friend Matt Sorum (former Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver drummer) rounds out the lineup behind the kit.

Rock Duo Girl Tones Bring Punk Spirit and Sisterhood to Paste Studio’s Lollapalooza Session

0

During Lollapalooza weekend in Chicago, Paste Studio “On the Road” captured something special when rock duo Girl Tones — sisters Kenzie and Laila — lit up Salon 61’s cozy Library room. Stripping back their setup without losing an ounce of fire, the pair delivered an electrifying, punk-charged performance fueled by chemistry and charm. Songs like “Volcano” and “Blame” showcased their tight bond and fearless energy, turning the elegant venue into a spontaneous celebration of family, music, and rebellion. It was punk with polish, and pure joy from start to finish.

Progressive Metal Trio Transgalactica Break Boundaries With “Peace on Earth”

0

Poland’s progressive metal trio Transgalactica just dropped their most explosive track yet, “Peace on Earth,” from their upcoming album Onwards and Upwards — and it’s a thunderclap of riffs, rage, and reflection. Built around a Tool-inspired groove and crowned by a Rachmaninov twist straight from “Island of the Dead,” the song smashes metal’s boundaries with symphonic precision and raw emotion. One reviewer nailed it, calling it “modern serious music.”

Written in 2021, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, “Peace on Earth” channels the timeless ache of war, fear, and fragile hope. “Iron dice began to roll… Mushroom cloud is looming large,” sings the band in lyrics that hit harder with every headline. For the video, Transgalactica abandoned their trademark irony in favor of sincerity, dedicating the clip to Ukrainian soldiers. Created with a Sri Lankan collaborator, it’s a global tribute to humanity’s shared grief — and a warning that peace, though distant, is still worth fighting for.

Despite their futuristic sound, Transgalactica are proudly human-made. Every note on Onwards and Upwards was recorded before the AI era, though the band now uses artificial intelligence for visual storytelling and concept videos. “AI is just another tool,” they say — “like lithography or film — it can enhance creativity when used consciously.” Their visuals may be digital, but their heart is pure analog passion.

The band’s very name came from a dream — Tomasz imagining a spaceship called Transgalaktyk, ferrying Polish settlers to Mars while their music played in orbit. That dream now fuels their art: cosmic, fearless, and defiantly alive. Onwards and Upwards is shaping up to be their boldest voyage yet — proof that metal can question, confront, and still believe in peace on Earth.
