Following the release of their Hopeless Records debut single, “i should call my friends,” in October 2023, Hey Violet has returned with their latest track, aiming to simplify the complexities of romance with “Uncomplicated.” The new single serves as an anthem for the messiness, melodrama, and the unsteadiness of young love. Against the backdrop of an array of infectious guitars and drums, the narrative unfolds, pitting the allure of complications against the predictability of a healthy relationship. Elevated by its contagious chorus and underscored by evocative lyrics, “Uncomplicated” plunges into the throes of young love. Lines such as, “I know… Read more »
With ‘Change The Way You Think About Pain’ Incendiary have something important to say, and we should all be listening.
Often, when we celebrate Black History Month we think about the Civil Rights leaders and activists of long ago. I remember being in elementary school and feeling like racism was a thing of the past because of the way it was taught. It would be great if we could just talk about social injustices as something that happened long ago but no longer. However, the fact that just this weekend I saw a “White Lives Matter” shirt at an event, means that people still aren’t understanding. All of February, we see quotes from Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.… Read more »

Since GK first strutted onto the scene in 2004/2005 it has become a symbol, representing the look of pop-punk but also, unexpectedly, the sound of alt-rock. But last year, just short of a decade later, the journey derailed. Today, Glamour Kills is fighting its way back.
We’re excited to bring you an exclusive stream of What We Never Knew from Outliers, the solo project of 17 year old singer Cade Garrett.
Late in the afternoon of Jan. 16, a SWAT team from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, backed up by officers from the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office and the local police department, along with a few drug-sniffing dogs, burst into a unmarked recording studio on a short, quiet street in an industrial neighborhood near the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The officers entered with their guns drawn; the local police chief said later that they were “prepared for the worst.” They had come to serve a warrant for the arrest of the studio’s owners on the grounds that they had violated the… Read more »
One sunny afternoon not long ago, Dick Copaken sat in a booth at Daniel, one of those hushed, exclusive restaurants on Manhattan’s Upper East Side where the waiters glide spectrally fro table to table. He was wearing a starched button-down shirt and a blue blazer. Every strand of his thinning hair was in place, and he spoke calmly and slowly, his large pink Charlie Brow head bobbing along evenly as he did. Copaken spent many years as a partner at the white-shoe Washington, D.C., firm Covington & Burling, and he has a lawyer’s gravitas. One of his bes friends calls… Read more »
