In 2012 Katie Crutchfield took the moniker of a creek by her house in central Alabama, the Waxahatchee creek and released the album American Weekend.

WNXP Podcasts ·

2024/03/29

Leeds’ four-piece Yard Act made a massive splash in a crowded post-punk wave with their 2022 debut The Overload. Frontman James Smith was impossible to ignore, and the band’s humorous approach to the genre was a refreshing addition to the established acts leading the scene.On their follow-up Where’s My Utopia?, Smith’s charisma is still front and center, but a bit more self-reflective, and the agitated guitars have been replaced with synths and dance beats. Co-produced with Gorillaz

Before her death, Zazu had been making what became Quilt Floor with Linwood Regensberg her longtime bandmate in Those Darlins and the person
