Young Culture is back with the bop of the fall! Joining forces with their friends and fellow New York natives, Daisy Grenade, the pop-rock band is celebrating the release of their new single, “Jesus,” today. The song tells the story of a toxic relationship that is too addictive to leave. It’s the kind of situation you know is terrible for you, but the push and pull of passion makes you stay. Lyrics like, “Why do I get high when you keep taking me low?” are balanced by the track’s driving guitars that immerse the listener into a full-on house party… Read more »

The Riot grrrl movement began in the early 1990’s at the forefront of feminism, punk music, and political commentary. It was a genre built out of anger, frustration, and rage entirely crafted by badass women. These women aimed to express emotions considered acceptable for male songwriters at the time, but far less common for women. Growing out of the Pacific Northwest but quickly spreading across the country, acts like Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney paved the way for many bands to come in the future. Speaking on topics like sexual assault, domestic abuse, anarchism, and female empowerment, the movement was much… Read more »

After 6 years of waiting, Balance and Composure delivered two remarkable tracks to mark their return last month.

Last month, I sat down with Vic Fuentes, who, I don’t need to tell you, is the frontman for Pierce The Veil (and if I do need to tell you, what’s it like under that rock?).
Over the last two years, most of us have had a lot of extra time at home. Some people chose to learn something new (I downloaded Duolingo and now hablo español), some people spent a lot of time on TikTok or Netflix (or both), and some people helped score a recreation of the cult classic The Princess Bride. Or at least that’s what Christo Bowman, lead singer of indie-rock band Bad Suns did. “I’ve never even seen the [original] movie,” says Bowman when I ask him about the experience. We’re chatting via Zoom—he’s in the green room at the Rialto… Read more »
