At first glance, the thought of setting emo bangers to orchestral strings doesn’t sound real. How could the soothing nature of classical music ever match up to the angst and grit of the Warped Tour scene? However, this juxtaposition creates the most magical blend of emotionally charged lyrics and dynamic instrumentation. Hawthorne Heights experiments with this theatrical sound on an orchestral rendition of their latest single, “The Storm,” pulled from their freshly released EP, Lost Light, which dropped last month. Celebrating their current tour with Emo Orchestra, the new version paints Hawthorne Heights’ authentically emo-punk sound in a new and… Read more »

The Lostprophets titled their second album Start Something for two reasons. One was to motivate people out of complacency. “We spent the last three years touring and meeting loads of people who were like, ‘I’d love to do this and that,’ but they never had the drive to get up off their asses and do it,” explained singer Ian Watkins. “Start something. Start anything.” The title’s other meaning reflects the band’s feeling that Start Something is their first musical step, despite releasing their debut album three years ago. They’re neither trying to ignore 2001’s The Fake Sound of Progress nor… Read more »
Liquid Death is back at it again. The tongue-in-cheek water brand, known for its creative marketing strategies, just dropped the compilation of the summer. Greatest Hates Volume 3 is a 10-track collection of bangers with lyrics written entirely by the company’s internet haters. Juxtaposing their negative comments with 80s-inspired arrangements, the record is just as danceable as it is hilarious. Marking Liquid Death’s third Greatest Hates compilation record, the brand invited artists such as Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, and Kayleigh Goldsworthy to bring their hate comments to life through song. Skateboarding icon Tony… Read more »
Sincere Engineer are back with another batch of sincere and soul-searching stories in the form of a new album.
On the heels of the release of “Burn” earlier this year, TX2 has unleashed the heavy-hitting “So Numb” and its accompanying music video. The track is a candid and haunting examination “about grief” and how hard it is to process emotions tied to grief. “So Numb” emerges through a captivating blend of ethereal synths, intricate guitar melodies, and lush orchestral strings. TX2, aka Evan Thomas, sets the tone with the opening lyrics: “If I said I moved on/If I said I’m fine/That’d be a lie/Fuck/You’re stuck on mind.” Against a rich backdrop of exquisitely crafted instrumentation that further amplifies the… Read more »
