I got to speak with both Biss and frontman Patty Walters at Asbury Park’s House of Independents, where we talked about touring, mental health, their debut record’s tenth anniversary, and the band’s triumphant return.
Overall, The Witch’s new single “WHEN YOU’RE NOT HERE” is a danceable and emotional track that is perfect for taking a place on a pregame playlist or can be the soundtrack to your emotional fall and winter months.
In their debut album, The Favors offer something desperately needed for listeners: a beautiful escape from reality into a 1970s-esque tale of love, loss, hardship, and tenacious dreaming.

I Promise No One’s Watching showcases Nxdia’s unique blend of alt-pop and indie rock, combined with unabashedly queer aesthetics and lyrics, whether it’s a love song, living out your identity, or just trying to figure things out in your twenties.

NEVER ENOUGH puts listeners in the backseat of Turnstile’s joyride and makes them bear witness to all the highs and lows that come with it. Even with some of the record’s flaws, the essence of Turnstile is still very much present, and the authenticity they carry has made a continuing impact on the scene at large.
“Hemingway” is everything that draws people in about girl in red: the candid, poetic lyricism, ethereal vocals and beautiful instrumentals. It's a brave and important release, and is wonderfully executed.
