Start listening to Bleached. The L.A. rockers write intense, catchy tunes and as a live act, they're near unstoppable. Though still relatively under the radar, the in-the-know are starting to take notice. They just got off a tour with Paramore and behind their 2017 EP 'Can You Deal?" they launched a zine featuring first-had stories from women across the music industry. We interviewed them at Panorama Fest in NYC, and before that -- in our opening segment -- hear Billboard staffers Lyndsey Havens and Taylor Weatherby talk about their time at Lollapalooza last weekend.

Haim's "Something To Tell You" was released last week to generally positive reviews, Billboard included. Is it one of those special albums we'll be talking about at the end of the year? Is pop stardom in the Haim sisters' futures? Chris Payne, Jason Lipshutz, and Lyndsey Havens discussed this, along with Jet's bizarre return with an EDM-rock track and a little iPod talk. Is "Baby Driver" bringing us to a new era of iPod nostalgia?
