Brother and Sister duo Miles and Winter Donnelly (aka Muo Duo) recently released the latest EP "Tasting Menu". For this project the genre-bending pair enlisted the help of local emcees Mick Jenkins, Ausar, and Englewood B.U., along with Guapdad 4000 and Casshan to create a sound floating between Jazz, Dream Pop, and Hip Hop.

The latest single and video from the EP is called "Gourmet" and features Ausar.

Pop Punk trio Splits have released a new single called "Getting Somewhere". This is the first new music from them since their early 2021 EP "Vice Versa".

This is the work of Taylor Ericson, Claire Zhang, and Ethan Urborg, and sadly the trio performed their farewell Chicago show last month.

Pop Punk trio Long Gone have released their latest single, "Change Your Mind". The song is a straightforward sappy love song, and is extremely catchy and melodic.

This is the work of Matthew DeSchepper (vocals, guitar), Trevor Hancock (drums), and Patrick Smith (guitar).

When asked DeSchepper had this to say about "Change Your Mind"; “Usually, I’ll sit on lyrics and melodies for months to years before they’re ready to be recorded, but this one felt like it needed to happen,” DeSchepper continues. “It’s about someone who I’m absolutely crazy about, and I felt that they needed to know.”
