Hometown:Amsterdam, Netherlands, with members in Turkey and Indonesia. (Like their music, this band is a truly global affair.) Why We Love Them:Altın Gün have always put a modern twist on traditional Turkish music, and the world was finally starting to take notice. Just when they nabbed a spot at Coachella 2020 and a Grammy nomination for Best Worl...
Hometown:Brighton, England Why We Love Them: Britain’s favorite metalcore band has developed an obsession with the end of the world — a worthy cause. Their February LP, For Those That Wish to Exist, is a deep dive on humanity’s ultimate demise (see: climate change, big heat death) unless we change something soon (we won’t). The new concept album is...
Hometown:Los Angeles, CA / Poughkeepsie, NY Why We Love Them: Technically Bachelor describe themselves as “not a band” but a “friendship.” Jay Som’s Melina Duterte and Palehound’s Ellen Kempner have separately been making really great bedroom pop for several years now, but when they decided to turn their personal bond into a creative one with the 2...
Hometown:Yulin, Guangxi province, China. Based in Beijing. Why We Love Them: Despite the Mandarin lyrics, it’s easy for speakers of any language to savor Beijing’s best band. Ants Corrupt Elephant, Backspace’s second album, boasts enough kaleidoscope-on-the-fritz guitar tones to enthrall Tame Impala’s earliest fans, and their volatile horn bursts e...
Hometown:London, England Why We Love Them:This group of seven co-ed collegiate twentysomethings — who look like they’re off a slightly more sophisticated Gap editorial — are swimming in adulation following the release of their debut LP, For the first time. But boydo they deserve it. Their signature scabrous post-punk-cum-orchestral-flourish is noth...
Hometown:London, England Why We Love Them:black midi named one of the best songs on their CavalcadeLP “Dethroned.” But they’re the ones who sound like overthrowing insurgents. That isn’t just because frontman Geordie Greep gives Nick Cave a run for his regally art-rock baritone. It’s also how the quartet push their instruments to the squealing, thu...
Hometown:Johannesburg, South Africa Why We Love Them: “They’ll never give you power/ You have to take the power!” BLK JKS chant on “Yoyo! – The Mandela Effect…” Heavy themes aside, this track from the South African trio’s latest album, Abantu / Before Humans, is clearly a freedom-fighter anthem. Chalk that up to the Molotov cocktail horn flares, wh...
Hometown:Deale, MD Why We Love Them:With T.J. Osborne’s deep, rumbling voice and John Osborne’s epic guitar solos, Brothers Osborne have more in common with Gregg and Duane Allman than most of their country radio contemporaries. After a 2020 that included their third Jay Joyce-produced album, Skeletons, and a Thanksgiving NFL halftime show, T.J. ma...
Hometown: Nagoya, Japan Why We Love Them: The best part of being a CHAI fan is not knowing what form their music will take next. The garage-pop hooks of their 2017 debut have little to do with 2021’s WINK, which is packed with syrupy synth pads and guest rappers alike. Yet all of their songs come from the same infectious energy. Whether they’re tra...
Hometown:Nyack, NY When Coheed and Cambria broke through to the mainstream in the 2000s, they got lumped in with a lot of the emo bands at the time. But as anyone who listened to anything beyond the massive singles could tell you, that was never going to be their scene. While many of those bands began to decline, the prog-rockers did what prog-rock...

- Inhaler. These Dubliners formed a band as teens at St. Andrew’s College and gradually grew together both personally and musically. By the time they released their 2021 debut album, It Won’t Always Be Like This, their mix of 80s dance rock and 90s indie-pop influences with a crisp, modern vibe was exploding with propulsive beats and earworm hooks.
- The Lathums. The Lathums met in school too, but things developed at a breakneck pace for them. Hailing from Wigan, outside the historic music hub of Manchester, England, they were thrown together by their teacher at music school to work on a project.
- Machine Gun Kelly. Houston’s Colson Baker, better known as Machine Gun Kelly, had an early life that involved being shuttled all around the globe with his missionary parents, so by the time he started thinking about making music, he’d already seen a lot.
- Beabadoobee. Take a soupcon of 90s shoegaze and toss it in a pot with some twee pop and a dash of 00s indie dream pop, add something entirely original and contemporary, and you’ve got the basic ingredients of the beabadoobee sound.
