Hardcore’s growing popularity in the mainstream is evident. With Knocked Loose going viral, the genre has introduced a new avenue for some artists to explore. Que: The Neighbourhood’s vocalist Jesse Rutherford and his new band, Valley Girl. The new group has released a four-song demo on YouTube simply titled “Demo” that runs a little over 10 minutes.

Some of the tracks run longer than the shorter, traditional songs we know… Read more »

It seems that The Neighbourhood were feeling the Christmas spirit this holiday season as they gave away two remix tracks for free, followed by a brand new track titled “Unfair.” You can stream the song and download it for free below. It’s part of their release #000000 & #FFFFFF (which means black and white, respectively) that also features another new track called “Silver” that saw its premiere on BBC Radio 1 a couple weeks back. “Unfair” is a mostly instrumental track but it’s the same dark, sultry sort of sound we’ve come to know and love from the band.
A solid band all around, The Neighbourhood calls into The Gunz Show and talks about just how crazy things have been in the last year for the band, the new album, selling out venues like Terminal 5 and Hollywood Palladium, and what to expect in terms of more music. Their live show is ballin, and Gunz Show approved, so check it out if you can.

From 2011 to 2014, there was one social media niche that defined the music taste for young people and became the go-to platform for tastemakers: Tumblr. It was the birthplace of the indie sleaze aesthetic, soft grunge teens in Dr. Martens, tights under denim shorts, oversized flannels, emo black and white photography, Jeffrey Campbell Litas, and American Apparel basics. Back then, we curated our blogs with the same precision required on today’s Instagram feeds. With this brooding, indie fashion look came an edgy side of music that was fully loaded with personality and grit. We relished in fan fiction and… Read more »
