*[consequenceofsound.net] While Josh Homme’s past soundtrack contributions have focused on more comedic fare like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the Queens of the Stone Age frontman recently contributed a song to David Ayer’s cop-drama End of Watch. Co-written by the film’s composer Dave Sardy, “Nobody To Love” appears solely during the end credits and features Homme’s unmistakable croon paired with a mix of operatic piano and dark blues-rock guitar slightly reminiscent of older QOTSA. Stream it below.

*[pitchfork.com] If the ragged vocals and over-excited, under-tuned guitars on "Foxfire" are reliable testimony, then the New Milford, CT-based punk band Fins probably agree upon one record-- and that record is either the Replacements' Hootenanny or Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash. "Foxfire" shows flashes of that that rare ability to make an intentionally sloppy song that rises above its own messiness. It's a skill that requires more than just puppy-dog enthusiasm: If you really want to grab someone's lapels, you have to stage a carefully coordinated mess, and "Foxfire" is just that-- loose and joyful and careening, like a track full of unruly go-karts.
