When the universe offers a sign — and the sign comes straight from the lips of Nicolas Cage — you can’t ignore it.
That, in essence, is how 31-year-old guitarist Ben Katzman found himself on Survivor. The paperwork sat on his desk, but Katzman was racked with doubt. He’d already lost everything once: his band, his record label, his DIY community. Going on reality television seemed like a potential career suicide. Which is where Cage comes in.

It’s been five years since Mannequin Pussy released their critically-acclaimed album Patience, which proved just how versatile and unapologetically intense these Philly punk rockers could be. From perfect break-up anthems like “Drunk II” to screaming ragers like “Cream,” the band ventured beyond the noise rock heard in Fishtown dive bars to write stunning songs with tons of emotional power. Since then, Mannequin Pussy — which is comprised of singer Marisa “Missy” Dabice, drummer Kaleen Reading, bassist Colins “Bear” Regisford, and newly added guitarist and keyboardist Maxine Steen — scratched the pandemic...

Mannequin Pussy’s I Got Heaven represents a number of notable firsts for the Philly band: It’s their first studio album in five years, their first with guitarist Maxine Steen, and the first they’ve written together as a unit in the studio. But I Got Heaven isn’t so much a reinvention as it is a reinvigoration—a doubling down on all of the things that make Mannequin Pussy one of the most electrifying rock bands working right now.
I Got Heaven feels at once spontaneous and meticulous, no doubt owing to the collaborative writing process and the steady hand of producer John Congleton. For the way they mix elements of hardcore, shoegaze, and power pop across their music, Mannequin Pussy have long defied strict categorization. And reflective of the band’s penchant for blurring genres, the new album remains fiercely focused on its singular theme of freedom.

Militarie Gun have announced Life Under the Sun, a new EP due on January 26th featuring reimaginings of songs from their debut album, Life Under the Gun. Along with the announcement, they shared the single “My Friends Are Having a Hard Time” featuring Manchester Orchestra.
Life Under the Gun debuted in summer 2023 and served as a proper introduction to the blend of kinda-sorta hardcore sonics and personal songwriting that earned Militarie Gun a spot on Consequence‘s list of 15 rising artists to watch in 2024. The track “My Friends Are Having a Hard Time” — which has now been reimagined as a duet with Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull — exemplifies that blend.
“My girl says this song makes her really sad,” frontman Ian Shelton told Consequence for Militarie Gun’s Track by Track breakdown of Life Under the Gun. “Being someone who loves melancholy songs, I just love it. At the time I wrote it,...

Philly band Mannequin Pussy have announced their new album, I Got Heaven, out March 1st via Epitaph Records. As a preview, they’ve shared the latest single, “I Don’t Know You.”
The group took a different approach to recording the project, convening in Los Angeles to collaborate with indie rock producer extraordinaire John Congleton rather than writing at home. “There was so much going on in our lives that it was the perfect opportunity to recalibrate who we were as people and musicians,” said bassist Colins “Bear” Regisford in a statement.
“When I’ve written songs, it’s usually a very solitary process,” added vocalist/guitarist Marisa Dabice. “So this was shedding a lot of those hermit-like qualities to do something intensively collaborative. Your best work comes when you allow other people into it.”
Pre-orders for I Got Heaven are ongoing. See the artwork and full tracklist below.

But the four members of the punk band are unable to focus on much right now besides their desperate desire to get some rest.

Mannequin Pussy are back with “I Got Heaven,” the Philly band’s first new music since their 2021 EP Perfect.
Produced by indie rock studio wiz John Congleton, “I Got Heaven” flips the idea of modern Christianity on its head — or, rather, strips it down to its core beliefs. If God’s creation was indeed perfect, Mannequin Pussy seem to argue: Why treat anything, ourselves included, as anything less than divine? “Oh I got heaven inside of me/ Oh I’m an angel I was sent here/ To keep you company,” vocalist Marisa Dabice proclaims, her voice flitting between an ethereal soprano and a gritty, punky roar.
“‘I Got Heaven’ is a song intended to merge the sacred and the profane and to serve as a reminder that we are all perfect exactly as we have been made and that no one gets to decide how a life should or should not be lived,...

“I Got Heaven” is immediately explosive, with lead singer and guitarist Marisa “Missy” Dabice screaming the opening lines, “I went and walked myself/Like a dog without a leash” and asking, “What if Jesus himself ate my fucking snatch?” within the first verse. It’s intense and angry, as intended.

Thick are back with “Doomer,” a new song about learning to let go of a Debbie Downer… even if you love them. Listen to the single below.
“I can’t make you get out of bed,” Nikki Sisti sings in the track. “I can’t make you get silly in your head/ I can’t make you wish you weren’t dead.” Though she could offer her partner comfort, “Doomer” suggests that doing so would only bring the singer-guitarist down with them.
“This song screams exhaustion,” Sisti said in a statement. “It’s about knowing what you could do for someone but being too burnt out to do. It’s the opposite of self-abandonment, it’s choosing to stop giving so much and hoping that the other person can find it within themselves to do the work and grow.”

For many music fans and insiders, critiquing the Grammy nominations is an annual pastime. And each year, the Academy seems to find new and interesting ways to wind up observers. When the 2021 nominations dropped last year, the main knock was a complete shutout for the Weeknd. This time around, the issues are a little more complex. There are some noteworthy omissions among the 2022 field — no women in any of the rock categories; no Spanish-language or West African artists in any of the majors — but more concerning than who was left out is who was included.
