Rogue Wave’s Out of the Shadow(Deluxe Edition) and Descended Like Vultures(20th Anniversary Director’s Cut) are now available on all streaming services, today, Friday, March 27th, worldwide from Sub Pop. The digital formats for each release have been expanded to include rare and unreleased bonus material from each album’s era.
Also available today are the colored-vinyl represses of each release – Out of the Shadow on emerald green, Descended Like Vultures on clear pink – complete with their original tracklists. Both can now be secured from Sub Pop Mega Mart in North America, Mega Mart Europe (UK/EU), Rogue Wave’s official website, and through your local record store.
Rogue Wave began almost by accident. In early 2002, faced with the sort of existential crisis unique to the newly unemployed, Zach Rogue decided to take some time off from his home base of San Francisco. He set off with a one-way ticket to New York in March with the intention of recording one or two songs with a friend, in an effort to exorcise his demons both artistically and personally. He came away with both a new lease on life and an album’s worth of material that would later become Rogue Wave’s stunning debut, Out of the Shadow. At the end of 2002, while preparing the album for self-release, Zach rounded out the band’s lineup with the addition of Pat Spurgeon (drums/keys/samples/vocals), Sonya Westcott (bass/vocals), and Gram LeBron (guitar/keys/vocals). Zach soon realized that together the group started to “light up like fireworks” and “liked hugging each other.” Effortless friendship spawned the refreshingly organic actualization of Rogue Wave, a band whose commitment to song-craft and to each other is nothing short of astounding.
Out of the Shadow was originally released in a limited quantity on the band’s own Responsive Recordings label in early 2003. It is a gentle, undeniable charmer full of the naturally timeless sophistication and fierce, penetrating hooks that define a classic album.
Soon after their formation, Rogue Wave found themselves invited to play shows with bands like Spoon, Destroyer, Mates of State, Super Furry Animals, The Clientele and The Shins. “Rogue Wave seems like a classic Bay Area band, in the tradition of Thinking Fellers and Barbara Manning—they’ve just got that vibe,” gushed Carl Newman, The New Pornographers’ vocalist and songwriter. And he’s right—the quartet effused vitality, all the while infusing their damaged melodies with casual charm.
Released in 2005, Descended Like Vultures is Rogue Wave’s second album for Sub Pop. It would be the first time the band’s leader made a record with a whole group – Rogue, Spurgeon, Le Bron, and new bass player Evan Farrell – in the studio. They spent 10 days with Bill Racine (who also produced Out Of The Shadow with Rogue) at Supernatural Sound in Oregon City, OR, resulting in the creation of 11 tracks that journey through a dreamy landscape inspired by several decades of classic rock and pop (from Fleetwood Mac to Neil Young to My Bloody Valentine.)
For the first time as an entire unit, Rogue Wave went out of its way to create a free-flowing album that includes equal amounts of tension, release and resolution. In the process, they made a brilliantly layered, expertly crafted album that changes shape with repeated spins.
In the Spring of 2025, Rogue Wave’s “Eyes,” which is included here with the bonus material for Descended Like Vultures, was certified as a Gold-selling single by the RIAA (read more via October 27th album announcement).

“‘Watching the Omnibus’ packs a ton of amped-up guitar riffage and existentialism into less than 90 seconds: “I’m still alive and kicking/ And doing reasonable well/ You’ve got to die for something/ But there’s some things we don’t sell,” go some of its more memorable lines.” STEREOGUM

Today, Telehealth stars in “Things I’ve Killed,” a new and very official video in which the band explores the world of tech seminars, and a whole lot of chaos ensues. The visual was directed by Eleanor Petry, and the song is available today on all streaming services.
“Things I’ve Killed” is another highlight from Green World Image, the band’s forthcoming Sub Pop debut, out Friday, May 15th, 2026.
Telehealth offers this on “Things I’ve Killed,” “The title of the song came after we found a subreddit devoted to blaming millennials for killing entire industries, right down to mayonnaise. We loved the visceral premise in contrast to the absurd accusations so much that while demoing it, we started mocking the idea as a millennial hit list in a breathless cadence inspired by the R.E.M. classic ‘It’s the End of the World as We Know It.’
“It kind of took off from there, turning the accusations into a spiraling chant of brand names, culture wars, and economic buzzwords (no one really knows what they mean!!!). What began as a joke slowly became a portrait of modern doomscrolling, where genocide, cute puppies, and economic collapse sit side by side with every swipe. Equal parts satire and self-indictment, it’s a danceable purge full of cheap thrills and guillotines that begs the question: is it kill or be killed in the attention economy?”
Telehealth’s previously announced 19-date North American headline tour in support of Green World Image begins on Sunday, April 26th in Cleveland, OH at Happy Dog and runs through Wednesday, May 27 in Reno, NV at Holland Project. The tour will include stops in major and secondary markets, including Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Diego, Reno, and Phoenix. They have also scheduled a hometown release show on Thursday, May 14th, at Neumos in Seattle, WA. See below for a full list of dates.

The limited Loser Editions will also be available at your local record store (All vinyl colors available whilst stock lasts!).
More on Green World Image: The Kalshi app is a “prediction market for trading the future,” a platform allowing users to gamble on the outcome of almost any real-world event — from the accuracy of the weather forecast, to whether or not famine will officially be declared in Gaza. Joining CNN as the network’s official betting partner in late 2025, platform co-founder Tarek Mansour was quoted after the deal saying, “The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradeable asset out of any difference in opinion.”
Telehealth was forged in the opportunity-rich environment of post-COVID Seattle as a scalable music startup with similar goals. Co-founded in 2022 by married couple and fellow gambling enthusiasts Alexander Attitude (synths/vox/guitar) and Kendra Cox (synths/vox), and joined by longtime collaborators Ian McCutcheon (drums), John O’Connor (bass), and Dillon Sturtevant (guitar), the group aims to financialize any difference of opinion over how the in-shambles local “music scene” should proceed (read more at Sub Pop).

The fierce and mighty Downtown Boys will release Public Luxury, their incredible new album and the follow-up to Cost of Living, their acclaimed Sub Pop debut, worldwide on Friday, June 26th, 2026. The new longplayer features highlights “The City Begins,” “Sirena,” “Viva La Rosa,” “You’re A Ghost,” its title track, and today’s offering, the massive “No Me Jodas.”Public Luxury was co-produced by Downtown Boys’ Joey La Neve DeFrancesco and recording engineer Seth Manchester (Lambrini Girls, Lightning Bolt, Model/Actriz), at the Pawtucket, RI studio and arts space Machines With Magnets. The album was mastered by Heba Kadry.
In the “No Me Jodas” video, Downtown Boys perform with explosive energy for an enraptured crowd at a small club in Brooklyn. The visual was directed by John MacKay (Nation of Language “Inept Apollo,” “I’m Not Ready For The Change”), and also stars Mariachi Internacional Tapatio De Alvaro Paulino. Watch here.
Singer Victoria Marie offers this on the music video, “The video for ’No Me Jodas’ (translation: ‘don’t fuck with me’) is inspired by the aesthetic of ‘chicha’ —a music culture out of Peru that is also about economics, work, partying, life, desire, and nightlife. The ethic, as put by one Chicha musician, Chacalón, is two words: chamba and vacilón (hard work and partying).”
Downtown Boys are also sharing a few 2026 headlining shows happening this Thursday, March 26th, through Saturday, March 28th. Additional live dates will be announced soon.
Thu. Mar. 26 - Providence, RI - AS220 * Fri. Mar. 27 - Boston, MA - Deep Cuts ^ Sat. Mar. 28 - Portland, ME - Space 538 #

More on Public Luxury by Pierce Jordan (of Soul Glo):
Todavía creo en un futuro Todavía veo nuestros muertos Ya quemé la silla Ten fé en lo que ves
I still believe in a future I still see our dead I already burned the chair Have faith in what you see
Downtown Boys have pushed relentlessly forward as an artistic and political project since their founding. Singer Victoria Marie and guitarist/singer Joey La Neve DeFrancesco first met at union meetings while working together at a hotel in Providence, RI, writing many of the band’s early songs about their organizing efforts and exploitative workplace conditions. The quintet is completed by saxophonist-synthesist Joe DeGeorge, bassist Mary Jane Regalado, and drummer Joey Doubek. Through years of creating and touring, Downtown Boys continued to grow as artists, musicians, and organizers. Now, Downtown Boys have arrived with Public Luxury on Sub Pop Records, an enthralling new record that keeps politics front and center while summoning the band’s most urgent and powerful sound to date.
“This record is bigger and more expansive than anything we’ve done before,” explained DeFrancesco. “In writing this music, I tried to get closer to the feeling and sound of our live shows, which is where Downtown Boys is best experienced. When we perform, the guitars, keyboards, saxophones, the singing and intros, and the crowd yelling along with us all blend into a beautiful, cathartic energy. We wanted these songs to carry the depth of that live experience onto the recording itself.”
The definition of Public Luxury falls very much in line with that of the title of the second Downtown Boys LP, Full Communism. Straight up, Public Luxury means, “everything for everyone.” It’s the stubborn insistence that a better world is possible, while fully recognizing the horrors we witness daily, and the individual and collective responsibility to resist the nihilism and hopelessness we all feel.
Victoria Marie asserts that Public Luxury means that, “We as the people have the power – and we will have it all. The ultimate burn to injustice is taking the dirt, the shards, the smoke of it all in the struggle for freedom and liberation — finding power in the mundane — I think that is the story to be told.”
Sentiments like “everything for everyone,” and “we will have it all” perfectly represent the cathartic, communal live experience this cadre of multi-instrumentalists create. These sentiments also encapsulate the inclusive, joyful fusion found in Downtown Boys’ sound: punk and indie roots mix with Latin traditions, drum machines blend with acoustic drums, saxophones both support and interject between riffs, and layers of synths blend with guitars, doubling or tripling melodies to create blankets of melodic texture. The amount of ground covered on Public Luxury can’t be overstated. Public Luxury’s opening song and lead single, “No Me Jodas,” is a massive track whose thundering drums signal the beginning of Downtown Boys’ new era. “No Me Jodas,” “Sirena,” “Viva La Rosa,” and the rework of “Mi Concha” by Malportado Kids (a project started by Marie and DeFrancesco) add to the already robust catalog of Downtown Boys tracks sung entirely in Spanish. Songs like “Yellow Sun,” with its twinkling vibraphone, as well as “Albuterol” hit with all the emotion and sophistication of Sam’s Town-era The Killers. The industrial punk breakbeat of “You’re a Ghost” is unlike anything the band has done. Anthemic punk songs like “Viva La Rosa,” “The City Begins,” and “Enemy Without” are reminiscent of Downtown Boys’ earlier music, while “Public Works” and “Public Luxury” sit awash in a dreamy bath of synthesizers.
Years in the making, Public Luxury comes nearly a decade after Downtown Boys’ previous album, Cost of Living, their acclaimed Sub Pop debut, which included the fan favorites “Somos Chulas (No Somos Pendejas)” and “A Wall.” But the Downtown Boys never stopped: they were touring throughout, always organizing, and they composed the soundtrack for the Italian motion picture Miss Marx, which won awards for best score at the 2020 Venice Film Festival and the David di Donatello Awards.
In more ways than one, Public Luxury is a revisitation of Downtown Boys’ past for the sake of their future. Co-produced by DeFrancesco and recording engineer Seth Manchester (Lambrini Girls, Lightning Bolt, Model/Actriz), the band created Public Luxury at the Pawtucket, RI studio and arts space Machines With Magnets, not far from the band’s first home of Providence, RI. Years prior, Machines With Magnets hosted a number of the first Downtown Boys performances. Manchester watched the band grow from these early days, making their time in the studio one of two homecomings that would define the production of the album. The other came in May of 2025, before production, when Victoria Marie’s grandmother—a monumental figure for the entire band—passed away. The songs “No Me Jodas” and “Sirena” particularly channel her influence, serving as crystallized representations of the love between a woman and her ancestor.
“I think it is such a pivotal, desperate, yet desirous moment that our music is simply for anyone and everyone who believes in the new future we can make together,” Victoria Marie says, “a world that will be awkward, inconsistent, yet truly free when it comes to all that matters.”

“With its gentle percussion, trembling strings and sweet, cooed harmonies, the song has the intimate, handmade quality of a scrapbook.” [“Memory Be a Blade”] - New York Times
Today, March 6th, waterbaby’s debut full-length, Memory Be a Blade, is available on CD/LP/DSPs worldwide from Sub Pop. The 8-track long player features the songs “Amiss”, “Beck n Call”, “Clay”, “Memory Be a Blade”, and today’s new offering, “Srs Ice.”
On Memory Be a Blade, the Stockholm, Sweden-born singer-songwriter’s second release on Sub Pop, the nostalgia runs deep. Her follow-up to 2023 EP Foam is darker, richer, and more personal than ever. She wanted her lyrics to dig deeper and evolve her writing forward, something she accomplishes stunningly across the eight-track project.
To spark inspiration for her new lyrics, waterbaby reflected on a past break-up. She had moved on and was seeing someone new while recording the album. But when the newer relationship ended, she witnessed how much the album took on a new meaning to reflect the heartbreak she hadn’t anticipated experiencing.
“Many of the songs came to mean very different things than what I had thought when writing them in the first place,” waterbaby admits.
In the two years following Foam, waterbaby and her primary collaborator, Marcus White, took their time to get the album right. They wrote and recorded around Stockholm, the south of Sweden, and even Los Angeles. As it took shape, however, waterbaby began to notice how much she would stiffen up behind the microphone. She admits she gets quite shy in the studio, opting for the familiarity of people like White to stay by her side. But in order to take her words and sound deeper, White encouraged her to improvise what she sang instead of writing it out ahead of time.
Her improvisations were paired with compositions that reflected waterbaby’s classical background. White played piano alongside his lush and ethereal arrangements of string and horn parts. Musicians like violinist Oliva Lundberg, cellists Filip Lundberg and Kristina Winiarski, saxophonist Sebastian Mattebo, trombonist Hannes Falk Junestav, and flutist Pelle Westlin round out the dreamy ensemble (read more at Sub Pop).
waterbaby will begin an 8-date UK & EU headline tour for 2026 in support of Memory Be a Blade. These shows will begin on March 19th in Gothenburg, Sweden, along with dates in Stockholm, London, Paris, and Berlin. Additional live shows to be announced soon. See below for a current list of shows.
