Actor Van Johnson, who died in 2007, was one of Hollywood's ideal films idols. In the 1940s, the charming screen icon was box office gold, and remained a popular presence on TV in shows like Murder, She Wrote (which starred his good friend Angela Lansbury).

Pipe-eye, the solo project of King Gizzard’s Cook Craig, will release his fourth album Pipe-defy on October 18 via p(doom) records. He made it with his KG bandmates Joe Walker, who produced and mixed, and Michael Cavanagh (drums). “I intentionally wanted to go for a much more ‘hi-fi’ sound for this album, which Joey nailed,” Cook says. “It was definitely a departure from previous Pip-eye sh*t which was always on the ‘lo-fi’ side.”

Kalamazoo, MI noise rock/post-hardcore vets God Bullies were initially around between 1986 and 1995, and they released four albums for Amphetamine Reptile and one for Alternative Tentacles, and gigged with the likes of Melvins, Helmet and Cows. After breaking up, vocalist “Father” Mike Hard went on to lead Thrall, Hand Over Head, and other bands, and now he re-activated God Bullies with a new lineup for their first album in 30 years, As Above, So Below. It’s good timing with the new Jesus Lizard album on the way as well, and new single/opening track “I Am Mighty” picks up right where God Bullies left off, bringing that classic AmRep sound right into the 2020s.

When Touché Amoré announced their sixth album Spiral In A Straight Line alongside its opening track “Nobody’s,” one of the catchiest, punchiest songs the band has ever written. Today they’ve shared a second single, “Hal Ashby,” and it shows off a much different side of the band. At times, it harnesses the fast hardcore energy of the band’s classic Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me, and at others, it shows off some of the band’s non-hardcore influences, like the added warmth from the underlying acoustic guitar.
