UPROXX Welcome to SNX, your roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet and where to find them. Apparently, Nike decided this week would be dedicated to Air Jordans. Not officially or anything, but what other conclusion are we supposed to draw when the week brings a new Jordan 3, a new Jordan 6, and the return of the Banned Jordan 1? Don’t get us wrong, we’re not complaining. We’ll take it. But it does feel a little unfair to all the other brands out there. It’s hard to pay attention to a

Carlos Sotelo Streaming services are the primary way a lot of people consume their media of choice, whether that be music or TV shows or movies. Not everybody is on board, though, and some of those who are have started to tire of it. Regular price increases and limited streaming libraries have some consumers returning to physical media — vinyl, CDs, 4Ks — preferring objects they can hold and own over streaming options that can vanish at any time. Companies are more than happy to support this w

UPROXX Dessert has always been the quiet deal-closer of a birthday dinner. You can have the perfect table, the perfect meal, but if the final course falls flat, the night never quite reaches escape velocity. The ritual of bringing out something sweet, celebratory and slightly over the top is as essential as the birthday song and the candles themselves. With the introduction of their new smash cake, Hollywood’s iconic Yamashiro restaurant ticks every box and reminds everyone why they remain the

Uproxx Both Coachella weekends might be behind us, but that doesn’t mean the desert is done with us, because Stagecoach is hitting Indio’s Empire Polo Club fields this weekend! And like Coachella, Stagecoach is pulling up with an absolute banger of a lineup. The festival is often billed as America’s premier country music festival, and with a lineup that includes Cody Johnson, Bailey Zimmerman, and Lainey Wilson, it is most definitely that, but each year the fest spreads its wings a bit more, i

via the artist To hear the guys in Mildred tell it, their band didn’t form so much as fall in together. Back around 2022, three of the four members — singer-guitarist Henry Easton Koehler and Jack Schrott, and singer-bassist Matt Palmquist — were living together in a house in Berkeley and bonding over beers and Silver Jews songs. They were all around 30 years old, give or take a few years, and working day jobs or pursuing academic degrees. Though like the rest of the world they had just been t

Karol G Karol G has had a fantastic April so far. Most notably, she headlined both weekends of Coachella (alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber). Now, she’s keeping the fun going on Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour, a tour she just announced today (April 21). The run will keep Karol busy for a whole year, from July 2026 to July 2027. The North American shows span from this July to November, while December on will see her visiting South America and Europe. There’s a pre-sale

Miles Aldridge A few weeks ago, Suki Waterhouse dropped a new single, “Back In Love.” That was the start of a new era, which has now been formalized: Today (April 21), Waterhouse announced the album Loveland, set for July 10. Another new single, “Tiny Raising,” is set to drop this Friday, April 24. In a statement, Waterhouse says of the album: “Loveland to me lives in the distance between a former self who felt most alive in romance, fantasy and momentum, and a pr

Elizabeth Miranda This week, Foo Fighters will release their 12th album, Your Favorite Toy. The news prompted a startling moment of self-discovery: Is it possible that I have opinions on every Foo Fighters album? Alas, not only opinions, but also the wherewithal to RANK these records? Shockingly, the answer to both questions appears to be a resounding yes. What have I been doing with my life? That last question will have to wait for another day. For now, let’s talk Foos! 11.

Carlos SoteloThe world of alternative drinks is growing faster than ever, making it hard to keep up. Now that 4/20 is here, plenty of consumers will be turning to their favorite flowers or preferred strains and rolling up to celebrate, but edibles and THC beverages are the perfect alternative if you want to ditch the aroma of smoke and enjoy a different experience. THC drinks, specifically, are a great choice because they come in a variety of doses and offer a bevy of ways to enjoy them, meaning

Shaboozey’s 2024 album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going is a tough act to follow. The project made him a star thanks to the success of the long-running No. 1 single “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Well, he’s ready to give it a shot: Today (April 20), he announced a new album, The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales, and shared a trailer for it. The project is set to drop on July 31. There’s no announced tracklist yet, but a press release tease

A new Olivia Rodrigo era has begun. She recently announced the album You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, her first since 2023’s Guts. She then shared the single “Drop Dead” and gave it a surprise debut at Coachella this past weekend, popping up during Addison Rae’s set. You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love is her third album, but that doesn’t mean the process is always comfortable. For Rodrigo, it actually scares her in some ways. In a recent interview w

Getty Image In March, Sombr teamed up with some members of The Cranberries to cover “Linger.” He kept that energy going during the first weekend of Coachella, when he and Billy Corgan performed Smashing Pumpkins’ “1979.” For the second Coachella weekend a couple days ago, he delivered not one, but two covers. One was Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees’ (here’s a clip). The choice isn’t that surprising: Sombr recently listed some of his f

Uproxx Straight up, Megan Thee Stallion is one of the hottest rappers in the game. Every year her presence elevates, and not just musically or visually — her partnerships, or overall brand awareness keeps ascending. 2026 appears to be no different, as she’s kicking off the year in style with a Cheetos ‘Pickle’s Back’ partnership that hits close to her Houston roots. Houston is known as a hotbed for hip-hop, car culture, sports, and a varied culinary scene rooted in Southern tradition. B

Carlos Sotelo/Sazerac The highest age statement to ever grace a bottle of Buffalo Trace bourbon is here because Eagle Rare 30 just landed. Just three years ago, Buffalo Trace unveiled Eagle Rare 25, but now the world’s oldest continuously operating bourbon distillery in the United States has raised the bar and released its follow-up: Eagle Rare 30. As the name indicates, this whiskey was matured for three long decades, thanks in part to the climate-managed conditions in its innovative Wa

Sombr is out in California at the moment, fresh off performing at Coachella’s first weekend and getting ready to wrap his time in the desert on this second weekend. At his first performance, he played the live debut of a new song called “Potential,” and today (April 17), he gave the track a proper release. The song arrives alongside a cinematic video. Sombr wrote on Instagram, “My new single ‘Potential’ is out now with a music video that could potentially be m

It’s been over two years since Olivia Rodrigo’s latest album, Guts, arrived in late 2023. The drought will end soon as she’s set to release You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love in June. She has now offered the first taste of the project today (April 17) with a video for “Drop Dead.” The video for the lush track looks gorgeous thanks to its filming locations: the Palace Of Versailles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Paris. When the video dropped, Rodrigo wrote o

We’re now just a couple weeks away from Pompeii // Utility, the new joint album from Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, and SURF GANG. It’s structured as a pair of albums, one from Earl and one from MIKE, with SURF GANG working on both projects and the two rappers making appearance on their non-native side of the LP. “Chicago” is one of the Earl, tracks, though, where Mike sits it out. The song was shared today (April 16), alongside a video. The song and visual are under two minutse

Getty Image Charli XCX’s Brat era is over. That will feel especially true when she releases her next album, which is a hard pivot into rock music. A new British Vogue feature describes a new song: “Heavily processed guitars strafe the room, then fracture along with Charli’s voice: ‘I think the dance floor is dead,’ she drawls, ‘so now we’re making rock music.'” The piece says of another song, “Queasy feedback warps beneath a dead-eyed incan
