The Strokes x 'The New Abnormal' appreciation post.

Today, The Strokes return with their new album, 'The New Abnormal', their first album in seven years (following 'Comedown Machine' from 2013).

To celebrate the new album, we've put together five things we currently appreciate about the band and the new release - check them out below...

#1. The band have just launched a pirate radio series with the first episode 'Five Guys talking about things they know nothing about' - which sees them discussing life, influences, and more on a Zoom call. Watch the first episode below:

Twenty One Pilots release new song 'Level Of Concern'.

After frontman Tyler Joseph promised fans some new music earlier this week, Twenty One Pilots have today shared 'Level Of Concern', a brand new song written and recorded amidst the COVID-19 pandemic - with a portion of the proceeds from the song to be donated to Crew Nation (a global relief fund for live music crews, which aims to help touring and venue crews affected by the Coronavirus pandemic).

Listen: Charli XCX's new song 'Forever'.

Charli XCX has today released a new song, 'Forever', the debut track taken from her forthcoming album 'how i’m feeling now', and created only within the last two days with Charli teaming up with co-producers A. G. Cook and BJ Burton via the internet while all three are in self-isolation.

This working process will continue throughout the album, with the entirety of the project being written, recorded, produced and released while in quarantine due to the world pandemic.
