Premiere: Skuff Micksun rolls with the punches on soaring new single ‘BANK BROKE’
Meet Skuff Micksun. He’s apparently amassed himself quite a following on TikTok, but if you’re entirely removed from that particular social medium then we think you’ll find his songs speak for themselves.

What do you do when you want to introduce your new band? Get Casper Balslev to direct a 15-minute short film for your debut single? Probably not? Well, that’s what 802 did. Never let it be said they don’t go the extra mile because the song itself doesn’t even crack the two-and-a-half-minute barrier. Oh, and …

PREMIERE: Homeschool wrestles with questions of identity on ‘Bound to Be’
It’s hard to know what you want sometimes, and it’s harder still to know who you are. Tom D’Agustino understands that it’s a process, and it’s for that reason their genderfluid identity and music as Homeschool are intertwined. Their new song explores the idea of existing in the face of society’s preconceived notions of who …

So we heard you didn’t have enough skronky, mathy experimental rock music in your life.

We didn’t hear much from them last year, certainly not in the form of new music, but Vol. 1 implied the existence of a Vol. 2, so it …
