Hit & Run was a 3-piece punk band from Portland, Oregon that played music heavily influenced by the melodic punk and technical skatepunk of the '90s. Hit & Run played songs that were fast, tight, hook-laden, aggressive, and melodic at times, punctuated with group shouts, powerful guitars, rapid-fire drum patterns and scrabbling bass lines. Lyrically, Hit & Run pushed toward the progressive, personal and political, but without losing a sense of humor.

Faris Badwan, frontman for UK indie rockers The Horrors, has a new project: Cat's Eyes, a duo with the Canadian opera soprano and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Zeffira. The group specializes in a glassy, symphonic take on girl-group pop, and they played their first show in December in a pretty unusual place: St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, during an afternoon mass "attended by seven high-ranking cardinals," according to a press release.

"a band who love to experiment (not always getting it right), they don't really sound like anything else out there. and the music is really varied - you could listen to 'energy + blast' and have no idea that it was the same band that made 'empty souls'. and there's no denying that 'breathe' is a nigh-on perfect pop song. whilst sometimes weird and experimental, their music is very impressive, and i for one predict big things."
