Celebrating a decade of ‘Rain In July’ as much as the strides they have made over the years, Neck Deep’s intimate London show was true chaos.
Neck Deep have announced more shows to celebrate the ten year anniversary of their iconic debut, Rain In July. The album was originally released in 2012 via We Are Triumphant Records and the record holds one of the band’s most loved tracks to this day, “Part Of Me (Feat. Laura Whiteside)“. Last month, Neck Deep toured Rain In July and A History of Bad Decisions throughout the United States with support from Real Friends. It only makes sense that the band would return overseas to bring the experience to the United Kingdom. Earlier this year, frontman Ben Barlow shared some… Read more »

During night one of their Dodger Stadium takeover on July 26, 2025, My Chemical Romance surprised fans with the debut of an unreleased track, “War Beneath The Rain.” The song is believed to be a holdover from the band’s scrapped Paper Kingdom project (aka MCR5), which was shelved before their 2013 breakup. Ahead of the performance, frontman Gerard Way shared, “I don’t remember how long ago it was, but it was before the band broke up. We had a studio in North Hollywood, and we were making a record that never came out. This is one of the songs we… Read more »
There’s electricity in the air—and no amount of smudged eyeliner or fingerless gloves can contain it. Emo icons My Chemical Romance just did what we’ve all been worshipping at our altars for. On the first night of their two-night takeover at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, July 26, 2025, the band debuted a never-before-heard song—one that predates their 2013 breakup. This is not a drill, and we are not o-fucking-kay! After performing The Black Parade in full—a spectacle already monumental in its own right—the band unveiled a brand new track titled “War Beneath The Rain.” It marked their first unreleased… Read more »
After unleashing singles “Darkness Always Wins,” and “Everest,” Halestorm has officially revealed their new track “Rain Your Blood On Me,” which will appear on their forthcoming album Everest, due on August 8. Lzzy Hale shares, “‘Rain Your Blood On Me’ is our ode to women. The crawl, the climb, the clenching of fists, the screaming of sirens, the breaking of glass – this is our war cry. As a woman, surrounded by my allies, Arejay, Joe and Josh, we put everything we’ve fought for up until this moment into this opus. The music started with the stomping of feet at 3 in the… Read more »
Ahead of the kick-off night of the sophomore year of the idobi Radio Summer School Tour, Rain City Drive has unleashed their latest offering, “Ride Or Die.” While the powerful track reflects unabashed commitment, the chugging guitars tangle around frontman Matt McAndrew’s soulful vocals. “‘Ride Or Die’ is about falling for someone you want to spend your life with.

For Americans across the nation, this July 4th might not feel like one worth celebrating. In Trump’s first six months in office, he’s sent the military on U.S. citizens in Los Angeles. ICE arrests have broken innocent families apart, and in most cases, those being deported have no criminal record (or are actual American citizens). Countless pieces of legislation were introduced or passed that take direct aim at the LGBTQ+ community. Federal workers were laid off en masse, the genocide in Palestine rages on, and this is merely scratching the surface. Refer back, even further, to 2023 when SCOTUS overturned… Read more »
