The must-hear new songs of July 2023
Back in spring 2022, Hookworm Records released a compilation called "Hookworm ONE." What it lacked in a creative title it more than made up for with great new songs from local outfits The Woodworks, Paper Foxes, SHOVEL and The Psychedelephants. Now, the label's back with "Hookworm TWO," and while the name's not much of an improvement, this time there are six brand-new tracks from six equally compelling Arizona faves. Buy physical copies of the comp here. The album release show is set for Sept. 9 at Last Exit Live.

Phoenix’s Fairy Bones tackle this complex human phenomenon on their stirring new alt-rock single “Wish I Wasn’t This Way.”
