Haim, LPX
It’s amazing to me when siblings A) share the same talents and B) can tolerate each other long enough to make art. In that sense, the sisters Haim are a true miracle of nature. Este, Alana, and Danielle made an excellent first impression with the 2012 EP Forever, which was solidified the following year with the release of their glossy debut LP, Days Are Gone. Most Haim songs stick to a rigid (but foolproof) formula: They sing interweaving three-part harmonies over a heavily produced, bass-forward melody with percussive guitar riffs, R&B grooves, glittering synth, and stomp-clapped rhythms. The result sounds like Belinda Carlisle and Stevie Nicks collaborating over drum machine beats. Live, they perform choreographed dance moves with lots of synchronized hair-whipping. Haim just released their second album, Something to Tell You. It’s just as good as Days Are Gone, but in a completely different way—the appeal of the new, softer pop-rock sound is less immediate. Rather than soundtracking the heat of the moment, Something to Tell You deals with everything that surfaces in the days, weeks, and months after blowing an emotional fuse. Here’s hoping Haim continues to evolve, because Something to Tell You builds from Days Are Gone in all the right ways. CIARA DOLAN

So Pitted, Sleeping Lessons, Surfs Drugs
When a band’s introduced as a “grunge/noise rock outfit based in Seattle”, I rarely inquire further—those are a dime a dozen. But not So Pitted, whose live performance proves the trio’s ability to smash their way to the front of the crowd. They don’t prioritize melody, and instead focus on making music that’s as noisy and fuzzy as possible, marching forth into territory not yet explored by their contemporaries. So Pitted can switch up the energy, rhythm, and tone multiple times within the same song without losing momentum. Even the most accessible songs on their 2016 debut, neo, occupy a dark, loud space—and it fucking rules. EMMA BURKE

B-Movie Bingo: Above the Law
Your monthly opportunity to literally check off a bingo card full of B-movie clichés! This month features one of the very best B-movies the ’80s ever coughed up, Above the Law—but not the Above the Law you might be thinking of. There were two sweaty, low-budget Above the Laws that decade. The more popular one came out in 1988, starring world-class buttplug Steven Seagal. That one is trash. The good (relatively speaking) one came out in 1986, and stars bonafide badass Cynthia Rothrock as an inspector teamed with a disgruntled lawyer-turned-vigilante (basically Hong Kong’s Matt Murdock) to catch (and kick the fuck out of) a notorious murderer. You will be watching that one. You will be watching it on VHS. You will be better for it. BOBBY ROBERTS
