Before jumping on board the Retro Futura package tour with Howard Jones and The English Beat, Modern English embarks on a headlining tour of the U.S. in support of what’s being billed as the band’s first new album in 30 years — beginning with four sets at South By Southwest this week.

Reunited U.K. indiepop outfit The Darling Buds will release their first new music in more than 25 years in April, a 4-song EP called Evergreen that will be released by Odd Box Records on limited-edition 10-inch vinyl and cassette. Check out the track “Complicated” here.

Post-punk legends act Wire have served up the second taste of their upcoming 15th studio album, Silver/Lead, in the form of mid-tempo rocker “Diamonds and Cups” — which premiered last week at Stereogum, and can be heard here. The band’s new album arrives March 31.

Robyn Hitchcock is giving fans another taste of his upcoming self-titled record in the form of a second single, the fully plugged-in “Mad Shelley’s Letterbox,” which you can stream below. The 10-track Robyn Hitchcock, which follows up 2014’s The Man Upstairs, will be released April 21 by Yep Roc Records.

The John Darnielle-led Mountain Goats this week announced their 16th studio album, a guitar-less record called Goths that, as its title suggests, celebrates the dark musical genre: “the friends whose bands never made it out of Fender’s Ballroom, the Gene Loves Jezebels of the world.”

Seminal shoegaze act Ride went 21 years without releasing new music, but after debuting “Charm Assault” this week, the wait for more was just 24 hours. The band has now shared a second new track, the meditative “Home is a Feeling,” which you can hear here.

Reunited shoegaze legends Ride today debuted their first new music in 21 years, releasing the song “Charm Assault” that presumably is a taste of the band’s as-yet-announced fifth studio album, which is expected out sometime this summer. The new song is produced by Erol Alkan and mixed by Alan Moulder.
