"That's Stupid, Punk Rock!"
"That's stupid punk rock. I just think of it as rock 'n' roll, 'cause that's what it is. [...] I like that it's like something new and it's just like, reviving old rock 'n' roll style. And it's raw, and it's for real. And it's fun." "Eugene" "The air in utopia is poisoned. The final joke." Brendan Mullen, owner of The Masque.

The Mosfets Channel Chaos and Charm on New Single “Radio, Turn Me On”
The Mosfets return with “Radio, Turn Me On,” an electric and frenetic garage rock track and the second single to be shared from the band’s upcoming self-titled EP (out May 29th, 2026), following the release of “Take A Chance” on March 6th. Driven by pounding drums, fuzz-drenched guitars, and a euphoric sense of chaos, the track captures the band’s love for playful storytelling while channeling the raw spirit of classic garage punk. It’s a call to action to turn the radio on while also being a sexual innuendo.

Craigology Paints Emotion Through Piano
There’s a certain kind of album that doesn’t just play in the background — it quietly changes the atmosphere around you. Piano in the Wilderness by Craigology is one of those records. The moment the first notes land, everything feels a little slower, a little softer, a little more reflective. It’s the kind of music that makes you stop scrolling for a second and actually sit with your thoughts.

Tuning Back In
So… is radio actually making a comeback, or are we just tired of letting playlists decide everything for us? After this Spotlight Hour, it’s hard not to lean toward radio—at least this version of it. Because this didn’t feel like something built by an algorithm. It felt like someone cared about what came next.
