Alvvays have just announced the release of their third studio album, called Blue Rev (out Oct. 7 via Polyvinyl). And we've just got our hands on the first single, "Pharmacist." The Toronto 5-piece says they never wanted to take five years to follow up Antisocialites, but you know, the pandemic, border closures, and the "thief" who broke into songwriter Molly Rankin's apartment and stole recorder demos. Oh, and a basement flood destroyed much of the band's gear. -bit.ly

This 2013 track from Tampa, Florida trio Merchandise's Totale Nite EP finds frontman Carson Cox singing about the crushing poverty he witnesses in his home city. "It's about the homeless and the streetwalkers that populate that road," he told NME. "It's something our city tries to ignore. I guess I can't help but identify with those people just from walking the same road as them." - bit.ly --- Celebrating the music of 2013 & 50 years of KEXP! - www.kexp.org

Hutchence wrote the song with INXS multi-instrumentalist Andrew Farriss, who said, "When you're a little kid, you play in the dirt. If you've got some dirt to play on, a bit of earth, you might build a sandcastle or you might just dig a hole in your backyard, just messing around. But, you're always going to kiss the dirt in the end. Everything reverts back to the earth in the end. Everything." - bit.ly
