The B Report - The Online Music Magazine from Phase B Records
At The B Report, we tear through the hype to spotlight the records and artists that resonate—or clash—with today’s sonic landscape. From indie oddballs to experimental trailblazers, our writers drop sharp, fiercely honest takes that earned Pitchfork its reputation: immersive, critical, unapologetically passionate. We’re here not just to document what’s out now, but to interrogate why it matters.
With guest reviews and a host of folks hitting up gigs and taking notes across the Music Scene, you'll find all you need to know about the underground music scene and culture right here.
