criminally underheard new music. always outside the algorithm.
We scour the blogs, the Release Radars, the algorithms, and the tough-to-find new releases to bring you a handful of great new tracks every week, along with a short original review of each. This isn’t another AI-generated playlist that looks like all of your other playlists or yet another music blog to keep up with. It is a direct-to-your-inbox and straight-to-your-earbuds weekly podcast+newsletter featuring curated new music, and it’s contextualized by a real, live human being. Always free, always genre-agnostic, always independent.
The core of The Guide is the newsletter and podcast, but Steve also occasionally shares artist interviews, playlists, original merchandise, and other opportunities to dig deeper into today’s ecosystem of great new music.
