   #424 LOTSY

   Lotsy (LOT-SEE) 1. an extreme state of euphoria, when having an immense amount of fun. Lotsy talks about the new single “‘No Obedience’ is about how fear can make us complacent. It can keep us obedient to systems, expectations and even our own limiting beliefs, stopping us from making choices that may feel risky but could lead to greater personal, creative or financial freedom. The song encourages people to question what is holding them back and to choose possibility over fear. I believe that when people feel empowered to live more fully and authentically, their individual lives improve and that creates a ripple effect that can make the world a better place”. Lotsy is a genre-bending rock project built for people who want more than background noise. It’s fun, strange, loud and loaded with meaning. Welcome to Lotsyland. Find your Lotsy.

   #423 Rob Good of ‘The Goods’

   Oakland, California power pop outfit The Goods return August 19 with “Minor Key,” the second advance single from their upcoming LP Goodbye Summertime, due September 16 on Dandy Boy Records. Following the shimmering optimism of first single “Summer’s Almost Gone,” songwriter Rob Good reveals the more vulnerable side of the forthcoming record with a bittersweet meditation on heartbreak, memory, and letting go. For fans of The Lemon Twigs, Teenage Fanclub, Matthew Sweet, Young Guv, The Apples In Stereo, The Raspberries, and Sharp Pins, “Minor Key” peels back another layer of an album that stretches far beyond the jangling power pop foundations of The Goods’ earlier work. Some records take years to write. Goodbye Summertime seemed to write itself. “My whole life turned upside down one summer,” recalls Good. “The long-term relationship I was in collapsed, and in the wake of that, I found new love. I was sorting through the grief and failure of my previous relationship and the bliss and anxiety of my new one all at once, all while basically living at my recording studio, and I found myself in an intensely creative state.” The songs came fast. “I’d be experiencing some crazy high or crushing low, and I’d write a song about it and immediately record it. Many of these songs are real-time accounts of what I was going through in those moments.” That urgency finds its emotional center on “Minor Key,” a wistful farewell to someone left behind. While “Summer’s Almost Gone” urged listeners to embrace the present before it disappeared, “Minor Key” lingers in the quiet after the moment has already passed. It’s a song for the drive home after last call, watching the Bay Bridge disappear into the fog in the rearview mirror, replaying conversations you wish had ended differently. As Good puts it, it’s simply “a bittersweet goodbye to someone left behind.” Across Goodbye Summertime’s fourteen tracks, Good follows those emotional threads wherever they lead. The Revolver-inspired haze of “Lazy,” the Mellotron-soaked melancholy of “Punchbowl,” the vulnerability of “Wing,” and the slow-building Wurlitzer crescendo of album closer “Sleepytime” reveal a songwriter widening his palette without sacrificing the hooks that first put The Goods on the map. Produced by Good in his Oakland studio, with contributions from Cherron Arens, Yea-Ming Chen, and Ian McBrayer, then mixed and mastered by Bart Thurber, the record feels expansive without losing the intimacy of its origins.

   #422 Sara, Bennett, Mitchell of ‘Among Legends’

   Ontario punk trio Among Legends come out swinging on Lose My Grip. The band’s second full-length album, out July 10, 2026, moves fast, hits hard, and rarely lets up, pulling from the melodic urgency of Bad Religion, the road-tested punch of The Flatliners, and the hook-heavy energy that defined southern Ontario punk through the 2000s. Produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Matt Gauthier at ARC Recording Studio and This Place Needs A Name, the record leans further into speed, tension, and sharper edges without losing the melodies that got the band here in the first place. That balance shows up immediately across the album’s twelve tracks. Lead single “H/A/C/K” came out swinging with tight guitars, biting rhythms, and a heavier sense of frustration running underneath the hooks, while “Floating Here For Years” pulled things inward, trading pure momentum for something more restless and reflective. Together, they pointed toward a record that sounds bigger, louder, and more confident in itself than anything Among Legends have released before. Formed in 2016, Among Legends built their foundation the long way. Self-released EPs, DIY spaces, weekenders, festivals, basement shows, and years spent hauling gear through clubs and bars across Canada and the United States. Their 2022 debut full-length Take Good Care, produced by Siegfried Meier, earned praise from BrooklynVegan, Exclaim!, PunkNews, New Noise Magazine, and Idobi Radio, with BrooklynVegan describing the record as “one ripper after another.” But even then, the band was already heading somewhere else. Recorded in 2019 and delayed until 2022, Take Good Care captured a lineup and sound that no longer fully reflected where Among Legends were going. In the years that followed, lineup changes stripped the band back to its core, with Mitchell Buchanan and Sara Fellin carrying things forward and rebuilding the group into the trio it is today. Rather than slow them down, the change sharpened the focus. Lose My Grip feels less interested in fitting neatly into modern pop punk and more committed to the kind of melodic punk that sounds raw, immediate, and human. “Our last record came out four years ago, but it was recorded seven years ago. We’re not the same band anymore and I think that’s evident in the way this record sounds,” says vocalist/bassist Mitchell Buchanan. “Stability has been a hard feeling to find in recent years, and this record covers some of the different experiences that come with instability. It’s a lot of looking around and asking ‘how did we get here,’ whether that’s about the state of our countries, our communities, our relationships, or ourselves.” You can hear that especially on “Go On,” one of the album’s strongest tracks and emotional centerpieces. Built around a push-and-pull between vulnerability and avoidance, the song cuts through with lines like “I say I’ll come but we both know I won’t,” capturing the tension between wanting connection and keeping yourself at arm’s length from it. Across the album, relationships drift, routines calcify, and uncertainty hangs overhead, but the songs never stay still long enough to drown in it.
