Comedian, actor and musician Fred Armisen has just released a new album: 100 Sound Effects and yes it's exactly that -- a old school sound effects album, but one only Fred Armisen could make.

'Peripheral Vision' at 10 with Turnover's Austin Getz

BV Interviews: A Podcast About Music ·

2025/03/06

Drastically changing up your style as a young, rising band is a risk, but Peripheral Vision teaches us that making a beloved record never really comes down to style as much as it comes down to great songwriting. Turnover went all in on their newfound love of dream pop/post-punk for Peripheral Vision, and they still had the driving backbone and the sappy sincerity of their emo/punk days that made the new album stand out as unique within all of those genres. It quickly became the band’s breakthrough

Minneapolis indie-punk band VIAL join us on the BrooklynVegan podcast in celebration of their excellent new album burnout, out 3/29 via Get Better Records. It’s their third album, and in my opinion their best yet, with everything from punk ragers to brighter indie pop and a lyrical theme that tells the story of a person losing a relationship, with all the anger, sadness, guilt, and apathy (and humor!) that comes with that. Guitarist and co-lead vocalist KT Branscom and drummer Katie Fischer join us
