At ‘ERS, there are few things that we love more than Brandi Carlile, and her most recent song, “Life On The Run” is a perfect example of just how good the singer-songwriter can be when she’s at her best!
We have been following Violet Grohl here at WERS since she released her single “THUM” earlier this year. Now, a few months later, the singer steps into the spotlight once again with her debut album, Be Sweet to Me, and amazing songs like “Bug In The Cake.” Once again, the younger Grohl makes her sound and style distinct from that of her father charged with youthful angst and energy.
On his career-defining fourth album, The Great Divide, Noah Kahan delivers some of his strongest songwriting to date, including the Pick of the Week, “Doors.” Blending deeply personal lyrics with his signature folk-pop sound, Kahan once again proves why he is the voice of New England.
Off of their 2025 album, Hope We Have Fun, Mt. Joy and Gigi Perez have combined to give us the amazing “In the Middle.” This combines groovy folk acoustics with the smooth voice of Perez to make a song so addicting that you won’t ever want to put it down!
There is something truly special about two amazing artists teaming up on a song. Luckily for us we need not look further than “Rein Me In” by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. On this track, Fender’s raw acoustic guitar blends with Dean’s soulful voice to form a musical match made in heaven!
“Planting Tomatoes” is a song by Lucy Dacus that we have known about for a while. Hints of it dropped in a few of her live performances, and now, finally, it is available for us to enjoy whenever we want! The former boygenius member stuns with the way she describes the fleeting moments in life that pass us by with the ones we love.
One of the most prolific singer-songwriters of all-time is back, and his songs have never been more poignant or meaningful, With “Ride Lonesome,” Beck reminds us that we have to know when to leave things behind, and that no matter what we’ll always have ourselves for company.
After his recent surprise performance at Coachella, it seemed only fitting to break down Jack White’s electric new release “Derecho Demonico” for our Pick of the Week.
Lily Allen released her newest album, West End Girl, in October 2025. “4chan Stan” is ERS’s pick of the week, which is the 8th track on her controversial, cutting new album. The album is a departure from Allen’s previous work, yet it features her literal and often sarcastic lyricism. Allen is one of the most dynamic, unique performers over the last few years, and her new album is no different!
Suki Waterhouse released yet another lyrically impressive song, but this time, she released it with Island Records. Her song “Back in Love” enchants listeners with her compelling lyrics as she sticks to her classic dreamy pop style, while also exploring new sound styles and creating a different musical vibe.
Death Cab for Cutie is back! The indie icons have announced a new album, “I Built You A Tower,” which will be released on June 5, as well as releasing the leading single “Riptides,” an up-tempo song accompanied by Ben Gibbard’s signature vocals and stunning lyrics.
One of the bands that has never stopped making amazing music since their inception is Tedeschi Trucks Band. Featuring a 12-member ensemble, their newest release, Future Soul, and its title track are examples of the ever-changing nature of the blues-rock genre and how each artist can make it their own.
