On this episode of BV Weekly, Dave and Andrew kick things off by talking about the strong start that the hardcore scene has gotten off to in 2026, including a recap of the recent CIV, Into Another, Orange 9mm, Method of Doubt, Rule Them All, Square One show in Brooklyn (). Then, we discuss A$AP Rocky's big comeback moment (), Pitchfork's new user reviews (), Arctic Monkeys' first new song in 4 years and the charity compilation it's part of (), and why it's been a big week for 2000s-era Canadian indie rock (). We also touch on new music from Courtney Barnett, Snail Mail, Avalon Emerson, Lightning Bolt, Sugar, James Blake, IDK, Lucinda Williams, and more.
