Today (July 18), the Long Beach, California-born band Sublime has released their latest single, “Ensenada.” But while day-one fans of the ska punk band know it as a project fronted by vocalist Bradley Nowell, the group today is actually fronted by the late Bradley’s 30-year-old son, Jakob Nowell.
Read MoreWhen Masai Ujiri, the former head decision-maker for the NBA champion Toronto Raptors, thinks back on his childhood, the word “freedom” comes quickly to mind. Ujiri, who was born in England but grew up in Zaria, Nigeria, says he was able to live more freely back then than compared to even his own children and their peers today. They could walk where they wanted, play basketball during their downtime, and go to a friend’s house and play ping-pong. Today, a child’s life seems much more claustrophobic.
Read MoreGavin Rossdale, the frontman for the British-born rock band Bush, says he’s been “obsessed” with loneliness his whole life. If you saw his handsome face on MTV in the 1990s, you might be hard pressed to think he would ever be lonely. That it was even humanly possible. But if you listened to his songs, you would’ve heard what Rossdale means. Think of their signature track, “Glycerine.” On it, he sings: I’m never alone, I’m alone all the time. It’s also something he notices in other people (cue: Paul McCartney’s violins).
Read MoreIn 2012, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis released their hit single, “Same Love”. The track was a major force in the debate for marriage equality and expressed sentiments of acceptance, tolerance and, of course, love. But the track would not nearly have had the impact it did had it not been for the inclusion of singer Mary Lambert.
Read MorePeter Buck, the former lead guitarist for the iconic rock band R.E.M., is one of the most prolific and collaborative artists you can ever meet.

Read MoreOn Friday (May 30), the Madison, Wisconsin-born rock band Garbage will release their newest LP, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light. The music on the record is a testament to seeing the world with new eyes. Eyes that want to see more.
Read MoreNatalie Bergman is numinous. The spiritual-minded artist writes songs that seem to have been around for decades, perhaps even hundreds of years. And yet they are brand new. With a blend of gospel, doo-wop, rock, and soul, Bergman offers an authentic bent on music that is timeless.
Read MoreWow. That’s the only word that can be used to describe what happened Monday night in the National Basketball Association.
To start the night, the Dallas Mavericks, after trading away generational superstar Luka Dončić, won the 2025 draft lottery, giving them the right to take Duke standout Cooper Flagg. Then, just two hours later, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum injured himself so badly that it’s likely he’s out for a long time. Things happen quickly in the NBA.
Read MoreIn 2016, when songwriter and performer K.Flay released her hit single, “Blood in the Cut,” it marked a major moment in her career. The rhythmic breakup track and the album it was released on, Every Where Is Some Where, each earned Grammy nominations a couple of years later in 2018, including one for Best Rock Song. The future seemed bright.
Read MoreRhiannon Giddens is a flame-keeper. At any given moment, she is keeping history alive. Music alive. Stories alive. Authenticity alive.
