So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
CRAIG WEDREN – “JEW THEY KNOW IT’S CHRISTMAS” (BAND AID COVER) FT. PAUL RUDD, DAVID WAIN, JOE LO TRULIO, MORE
Shudder to Think’s Craig Wedren has put together an all-star cover of 1984 all-star group Band Aid’s charity hit “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” The twist: everyone on this is Jewish, including Paul Rudd and many members of The State. They don’t change the words, though.

MARIA TAYLOR – “COLORBLIND” (COUNTING CROWS COVER FT. DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL’S CHRIS CARRABBA)
“A couple of years ago, as a birthday present to Adam Duritz, a group of friends decided to cover a few of his songs,” Maria Taylor (Azure Ray) says. “Chris Carrabba and I met at Adam’s New York apartment years ago. We kept in touch and talked about collaborating someday. I texted Chris and told him that I was going to cover my favorite Counting Crows song, ‘Colorblind,’ and asked if he would want to sing it with me. He thought it was a great idea! That same night I went into my little home studio and recorded the dreamy guitars and vocals. I asked my good friend, Mike Bloom, to take it over from there and produce it. Chris sang it a week later and we finished it just in time to give to Adam for his birthday! Recently I came across this track and was reminded of how much I love it. I love the song, the production, and collaborating for the first time with Chris. I really love how our voices sound together. And to package it up beautifully, my friend (and artist) Alvaro Ilizarbe let me use his amazing art as the single cover. It was a collaborative project from start to finish.” It’s her first new music since 2022.
