Substrate Radio Freeform Radio From Alabama
In an Instagram post captioned "Happy May Day," the band confirmed the release of their first song in nearly three decades. Technically, it was uploaded to Bandcamp in April, per guitarist/vocalist Tobin Mori in an interview with Strand Magazine. But for the first time since the band called it quits in 1999, we got a brand new original song from Korea Girl. It's called "Anthropocene." And it is beautiful. They […]
After a literally 20-year wait, we're getting a sequel to the absolutely iconic film The Devil Wears Prada, featuring the legendary Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reprising their roles from the original. (But presumably with even more fabulous shenanigans.) You can catch it at theaters across Birmingham, including the Premiere theaters on Lakeshore and in Bessemer, Regal in Trussville (yes, the vibey 80s-inspired one), and all three […]
It's a mid-aughts indie kid's dream come true! Members of these two iconic bands recently came together and formed a brand new band, The Creem. (Not to be confused with Cream the Eric Clapton band. Or Creem the rock and roll magazine.) They released their first single, "Taste Of Cherry," just a few weeks ago on April 7, and today they released a brand new one called "Goodbye." And if […]
By: Kayleigh Drake I first heard of TV Star a couple years ago through what is probably my favorite compilation of all time: From Far It All Seems Small: A Compilation From Seattle’s Underground. It was released on KR Records, which is the label that Mark Palm from Supercrush owns and operates, and it consists of 14 songs from bands I was largely unfamiliar with prior to listening. Since Seattle […]
Well, technically "late summer/early fall." But either way, both Liz and S-K confirmed the news today on Instagram. They're calling it "The Flannel and the Fury Tour," which Liz says "is a nod to 1990’s alt-rock culture and the female-fronted bands who staked their claim to center stage in a male-dominated music industry." Honestly, slay. These iconic, legendary musicians will be starting things out in California and moving throughout the […]
After breadcrumbing us with cryptic teasers and posts for the past month, Scottish electronic duo Boards Of Canada have OFFICIALLY confirmed what many of us were thinking (and hoping): They're releasing a new full-length album! The news came yesterday, April 22, in an Instagram post that made everyone's Earth Day a little sweeter. "INFERNO. 29 MAY 2026." That's all the info that was given at first. But they soon followed […]
By: Kayleigh Drake At this point, it should be absolutely no secret that I’m a shoegaze fan. (Please see exhibits A, B, C and D.) So, when I hear about a brand-new shoegaze album being released, I’m drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Enter Glidewinder, the second full-length album from San Diego’s self-billed “truegaze” band Sparkler. It just dropped on Friday, April 10, and when I say […]
By: Kayleigh Drake Joder Juan is a band that brings back a really nice memory for me. I first heard them during one of my very first radio shifts at Substrate, back in January of 2025. I was queuing up my playlist for the evening, and in the moments before my show started, their song “Analisis del Desgaste” played in our station rotation. I had never heard of either the […]
By: Jackie Lo Being a teenage girl in the 90s, I had a handful of girl bands that I obsessed over. Hole was one of them. I was 14 when I discovered them and when Kurt Cobain died. I remember my mom taking me to the store and buying me ice cream and picking up a copy of the People magazine with his face on the front of it and […]
