New records, longer tours, bigger rooms – it’s always been another step upward for the Nashville-based quintet, whose 2014 debut, Those Days Are Gone, has become an era-defining classic in the emo-punk genre, launching them onto global tours with Hot Mulligan and New Found Glory and slots at Slam Dunk, Riot Fest, and The Fest. Every milestone has pushed them ahead, but on their sixth LP, Moments Before The Wind (Wax Bodega), that constant charge gradually slows, suspended mid-step, mid-thought, mid-life.   Recorded with longtime producer Brett Romnes on either end of the sold-out Those Days Are Gone 10-year tour, the follow-up to 2023’s Lessons That We Swear To Keep chronicles a surrealist descent into liminality: a period of intense personal upheaval colored by loss, renewal, reflection, and, ultimately, life-altering joy through the impending birth of a child. The 11-song set is disarmingly real, colored by sonic spontaneity – a swirl of Midwest emo, sweat-soaked punkfervor, and crashing alternative rock – but also the sort of achingly vulnerable lyricism fans and critics have come to expect from the band. Through it all, Moments finds Free Throw still moving, still growing, but now, perhaps more than ever, acutely aware that the path ahead is neither straight nor obvious. There’s a quiet confidence guiding them there into a brand-new era, ready for whatever the wind blows their way.

sunn O)))

For nearly 30 years, SUNN O))) – Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson – have pushed the boundaries of heavy music,straddling the worlds of the avant-garde and rock to forge a style instantly recognisable as their own.Now, SUNN O))) return with their first album of new material since 2019’s acclaimed Pyroclasts. Their tenth album –their debut for new label Sub Pop – demonstrates the duo’s mastery of time and space, light and dark, and theirwillingness to evolve their unmistakable sound into bold new forms.The eponymously titled SUNN O))) was tracked at Bear Creek Studios, Woodinville, Washington with Brad Wood(HuM, Tar, Sunny Day Real Estate, Liz Phair). This location would prove crucial to the recording process.“The vast tracking room had big windows looking out on trees,” says O’Malley. “We could go hiking and be out in thewoods, spend time outdoors. That became a big part of it.”“It was very inviting and very comfortable there,” adds Anderson. “There was no stress, no worry about the timelineor anything like that. We just let ourselves go, and let the music come out.”“On this album for the first time all of the instrumentation was performed by Greg and I,” says O’Malley. “All of therecords have our leadership and direction, of course, but this time around, it was almost like this crucible of ideas thatwas really at the core of what we’ve been doing.”Recording exclusively as a duo should not be interpreted as SUNN O))) limiting or restricting themselves. To thecontrary, it has opened up new possibilities for their music.The six compositions on SUNN O))) are expansive and panoramic yet finely detailed, reflecting the arboreal setting inwhich they were recorded. Opener “XXANN” enters with howling feedback before crunching into what might at firstseem familiar territory – until one registers the sound of water trickling beneath. “Mindrolling” likewise incorporatesfield recordings, as does “Glory Black”, which in addition introduces piano, by turns sonorous and delicate, into themix, lending the already formidable piece a hushed, solemn feel. The Newcastle-forged originators of black metal geta shout out in the title of “Does Anyone Hear Like Venom?” which seems to position Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon asdeep listeners, attuned to their Tyneside surroundings in much the same way as SUNN O))) are to the forest enfoldingBear Creek Studios. Throughout the album, the interplay between O’Malley and Anderson attains fresh heights oftelepathic intensity as they shape a music that itself breathes the bracing, earthy air of the Pacific Northwest.In October 2025 SUNN O))) released the first fruit of a new deal with celebrated US label Sub Pop in the form of a maxi12” featuring “Eternity’s Pillars”, “Raise The Chalice” and “Reverential” – three monumental tracks from the samesessions that produced the new album. The alliance with Sub Pop makes perfect sense, as Anderson explains.“We decided that we should approach Sub Pop, after I’d had some great conversations with Jonathan Poneman,” hesays. “So I called him up and before I could get the words out of my mouth, he said, ‘We’d love to do it. Tell me whatyou guys need.’ He was really excited and supportive.”All of which adds up to a fully immersive experience, uniting sound, word and visual into something that is undeniably,completely SUNN O)))

Hail the Sun

Anybody familiar with Hail The Sun will know there’s always a great deal of meaning beneath the surface. Theirs are songs the probe the very nature of existence, that strive to find the answers to the fundamental questions that being human raises, and that don’t flinch away from any form of self-reflection whatsoever. That’s been the case since the band—lead vocalist Donovan Melero, guitarists Shane Gann and Aric Garcia, bassist John Stirrat and drummer Allen Casillas—formed in Chico, CA in 2009, but which is especially the case on cut. turn. fade. back, their seventh full-length. Indeed, even for a band whose album titles veer between being suggestive of something more and existentially profound, this record truly goes the distance, encompassing the complete cycle of life with its four monosyllabic words. Across its 11 songs, cut. turn. fade. back captures the cyclical nature of all those things, as well as life itself in general. That wasn’t the specific intention when the band began writing the record, but when Melero started writing lyrics for and to the music, that’s the overarching theme that began to emerge. 2023’s previous record, Divine Inner Tension, had seen Hail The Sun intentionally relinquish creative control to the universe, and they continued with that mindset on this one as well, by bending to its whims. As connected as we are to the universe, and as much as it exists within us, the band says it’s important to note that we’re also travelling through it. As such, it was the things that happened to the band along the way—both on a personal level and on a more universal scale—that manifested themselves as topics on this record. Just as 2014’s second album, Wake, contained “Anti-Eulogy (I Hope You Stay Dead)”, a song about an active addiction framed as if addressing a person, so “Relapse Is A Love Affair” personifies his experience in a similar way. It’s a viscerally powerful moment among a whole series of viscerally powerful moments. For the first time in their career, Hail The Sun worked with production outfit Beach Noise, whose experience is much more steeped in the hip-hop world—most notably, they worked on a good chunk of Kendrick Lamar’s acclaimed 2022 album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. On paper, it seems like a drastic shift, but the reality is less dramatic—Garcia actually went to college with a member of Beach Noise, so they’ve been in each other’s orbits for a while now. Yet at the same time, Hail The Sun wanted to return to their roots of being a band in a room and jamming live. “It doesn’t matter if people take away the intended message from these songs,” says Meloro, “and I’m certainly not going to police it, but we do, as always, want to encourage critical thinking. Fifteen years in, I love that we’ve been allowed this fan base to speak to. I feel very grateful and fortunate, and I hope that it keeps carrying us forward continues to be the thing that we can sustain life from.”  Ironically, given the title and the theme of the record, this could well be the album that sees them break the cycle for good.
