Stereogum — Riffs! I like riffs. I like it when songs have lots of riffs. I like when one riff stops and another one suddenly starts. The Oxnard, California heavy hardcore band Torena has riffs for days. They’ve got so many riffs that their new single burns through a few of them before anyone starts singing.

Stereogum — It's fun when the elusive Sky Ferreira sings on a song, even when that song apparently is not hers. That happened just a couple of months ago when she teamed up with Charli XCX on "Eyes Of The World," a track from Charli's Wuthering Heights album. But in the past few weeks, Ferreira — who's only released a handful of singles in the past decade — has suggested that her fingerprints are a lot more prominent than we realized.

Stereogum — It's been a few months since Sabrina Carpenter dropped her last full-length Man's Best Friend , but it's not too late for the house tour. Today she released the music video for album highlight "House Tour" in which she stars alongside Margaret Qualley, whose husband Jack Antonoff co-produced and co-wrote the song, and Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline. Carpenter and Qualley also co-directed the video together, which sees the trio — aka the "Pretty Girl Clean-Up Crew" — take a tour of a house that apparently belongs to none of them. Watch it below.

Stereogum — It's somehow been six years since the Strokes released their "new" album, the Grammy-winning The New Abnormal , and the band has been announced for a zillion festivals this year, including an appearance at Coachella this Saturday. So perhaps it was obvious a new LP was on the way. Today they've confirmed it. The post The Strokes Announce New Album Reality Awaits appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — Guns N' Roses are on tour. Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, and company are currently playing shows across Latin America, including a stop at the Monsters Of Rock Brazil festival in São Paulo on Saturday. Their setlist included "Bad Apples," a deep cut from their 1991 album Use Your Illusion I. Per Setlist.fm, they've only played it twice before, both times on the Use Your Illusion Tour that same year (the first time was also in Brazil). They also apparently soundchecked "Right Next Door To Hell," another Use Your Illusion I song they hadn't played since 1991. See clips of their Monsters Of Rock set below.
