Tiny desk

Joined by a string quartet, Mannequin Pussy's ferocious and tender songs swell with urgency. The band also gives us all space to scream.

If we're putting a spotlight on faith-based hip-hop, we had to start with Lecrae. His devotion is unapologetic and his music is real.

The Colombian band brings its psychedelic universe to the Tiny Desk, complete with ceramic decorations and a quilted flag handmade by Andrea Echeverri herself.

If you think you know "Machinehead" and "Glycerine," prepare to be surprised by these Tiny Desk arrangements of beloved alt-rock hits.

Militarie Gun packs explosive-yet-melodic rock anthems into our cramped space, complete with gang vocals and a '90s alt-rock interpolation.

The British folk-rock band shares world-weary anthems to growing older, weathering the innumerable blows of life and coming out on the other side, hopefully a little wiser.

The rejuvenated band, sporting three new members, is having more fun than ever. And it shows in these vigorous performances of pieces that are whimsical and socially conscious.

Led by Taylor Meier's soft, raspy voice, the folk band shares a range of material, including an old song that still rings true a decade later.

The R&B singer tells the (sometimes very messy) story of a love pursued, featuring a fantastic band and a guest spot from trumpeter Keyon Harrold.

Few artists can completely dismantle your heart, fill it with wonder and awe at the miracle of life, and put it back together quite like Madi Diaz.
