Joe Medina (Merch) makes the kind of music that gets picked up by other artists before it hits the ear of the general public. Maybe this is why his newest album features members of Oh Sees and The Growlers; maybe this is why his accolades come from well respected, underground publications, artists, writers and from […]

We are thrilled and incredibly lucky to once again be hosting one of our newest favorite bands. Outer Spaces is a band out of Baltimore, Maryland, currently signed to Western Vinyl (another Stinkweeds Favorite) and releasing their first album on that label in late June. We previously covered this album as one of our “5 […]

Tonight Stinkweeds will host Lil Bobby Jr And The Horsey House Band & Friends in celebration of their new release on Moone Records (Phoenix) in partnership with Emotional Response (Flagstaff). The new album We Don’t Belong Together is a collaboration of a “who’s who” of Arizona’s dreamy, twangy and delightfully bummed out players. The result is a cavernous […]

One of our absolute favorite artists is coming to town and Stateside Presents hooked us up with an awesome prize pack to give away to one of our favorite customers! Included in this bag of goodies is a promo copy of Jose Gonzalez’s new album Vestiges & Claws, a promo poster, as well as two free tickets […]

We’ve teamed up with Changing Hands for another unique concert experience at the Newton. Phoenix is now, more than ever, a destination for touring bands looking for attentive audiences and intimate spaces. Even with all of the new venues opening up, we are still coming up short on venues for all of the new acts coming through town. Ever since […]

When Yo La Tengo puts out a new album, it’s almost a call to action for publications and select media outlets to take heed and put in their two cents. Some bands are just meant to be reviewed. Just type “Yo La Tengo Review” into your search engine and marvel at the breadth of publications […]
