Happy June 1st! We’re almost at the half-way mark of the year, yet you wouldn’t know if it you live in Chicago thanks to last week’s uncharacteristically cold weather. Just last night, I had to turn the heat back on so my roommates and I wouldn’t freeze in our sleep. Thanks, Mother Nature.
Nevertheless, we were able to end May on a high note thanks to some amazing content last week. The biggest of note was the surprise release of Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment’s debut album, Surf, and if you haven’t listened to it yet, I highly recommend putting aside an hour to really digest it. Other notable posts from last week include news that the Power Rangers film reboot has been delayed to January 2017, Kung Fury debuted to amazing reception, Robert Rodriguez will be directed a live-action Jonny Quest film, our review of Pitch Perfect 2, Twin Peaks‘ 18-episode order with David Lynch back on board, and the teaser trailer for the upcoming Starz TV series, Ash vs. Evil Dead. Of course, Riot Fest also released their lineups for the upcoming dates in Toronto, Denver, and Chicago. Find all of this and more in this latest installment of The Weekly Swarm.
