Less than twenty-four hours after announcing a limited vinyl reissue of their 2007 breakout album A Flair For The Dramatic, Pierce The Veil—in partnership with Equal Vision Records—has officially sold out all 2,000 copies vinyl copies. Originally released on June 26, 2007, just weeks after signing with Equal Vision earlier that spring, A Flair For The Dramatic arrived at an essential moment in the early-to-mid 2000s emo/post-hardcore surge. The record introduced the band’s signature blend of theatrics and frontman Vic Fuentes’ emotional intensity, anchored by standout tracks like “Chemical Kids And Mechanical Brides,” “Yeah Boy And Doll Face,” and “I’d… Read more »
The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! Sleep Theory has officially unleashed their 12-track debut album, Afterglow. Arriving alongside the album, the band has also dropped the video for their focus track “Gravity.” “‘Gravity’ is really just a classic R&B story—it’s about that real chemistry you sometimes feel with someone, even when the timing’s not perfect,” frontman Cullen Moore shares. “I wanted it to feel confident, a little flirty, and very 2000s—something that could’ve played in the background of a scene in a throwback movie.” He continues, “‘Gravity’ actually came together back in 2021, before we even… Read more »
It’s only a matter of time before My Chemical Romance—the band that rewrote the DNA of emo for an entire generation clad in black suits and red ties—gets the Hollywood treatment. At least we freaking hope so! With the success of the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody and the Oscar-nominated A Complete Unknown, we can’t help but imagine what an MCR movie would look like: the eyeliner, the concept albums, the trauma, the triumph. Or perhaps, a post-apocalyptic afterlife centered around The Black Parade, with The Patient as the lead character and the band themselves driving the story forward through musical performances.… Read more »
Marking his long-awaited return, KennyHoopla kicks off 2025 with “NORTHERN LIGHTS//,” his first release in nearly a year—and it’s unlike anything he’s dropped before. Departing from the raucous pop-punk energy that’s defined much of his catalog, the new track leans into an ambient, cinematic atmosphere that feels extremely intimate. Built around his hushed, almost whispered vocals and a twinkling guitar line that evokes the vast quiet of the Midwest emo/indie movement of the late ‘90s/early 2000s, “NORTHERN LIGHTS//” reveals a more introspective and experimental side of Kenny’s artistry. He shares the next chapter of his journey on social media. “I… Read more »
