Ahead of their support slot on Silverstein’s 25 Years Of Noise Tour alongside Thursday and a yet-to-be-announced group, Split Chain has unleashed their punk-fueled take on Type O Negative’s “I Don’t Wanna Be Me.” The track stands as one of Type O Negative’s most iconic songs (it is their most streamed release on Spotify), featured on their 2003 full-length album Life Is Killing Me. Combining the Peter Steele-led band’s dark doom metal with surprisingly poppier elements, the track is a more accessible approach to their gothic metal sound. Split Chain leans into the poppiness of the track while injecting it… Read more »
Following the release of singles, “Call It A Fling,” “Favorite Singer,” and “What’s That To You?“ lolitslea is back with new track, “Exit Plan.” This time, the act recruited former A Day To Remember guitarist and producer Tom Denney to make the track come to life.

senses have officially signed with Hopeless Records, and to mark the occasion, the duo—comprised of Madison Taylor at the mic and guitar with Nick Sampson on drums—has unleashed their new single, “every little thing.” “’every little thing’ is that moment of realization that someone you care about is dragging you down and doesn’t want to take responsibility,” the frontwoman shares. “It’s that person in your life that lacks any self-awareness and has every opportunity for redemption, but no matter how much you try and how badly you want to help them, they just can’t get out of their own way. … Read more »
Fresh off inking a deal with Epitaph Records earlier this year, Split Chain has released their new collaborative track, “(Re)-Extract,” featuring Softcult. Arriving just over a year after the original release of “Extract,” the reimagined track delivers a powerful amalgamation of hard-hitting instrumentation and gripping vocals woven seamlessly together for an intense soundscape. Softcult’s addition introduces a striking contrast, blending softness and heaviness in a way that amplifies the track’s emotional depth. Of the new single, the band shares, “It’s so easy to get stuck in negative spirals, admitting defeat and accepting it as part of you and your personality,… Read more »

She is taking her favorite nostalgic elements from these artists and re-writing them into new music that sounds fresh for her fans in 2024. The passion, heart-wrenchingly raw… Read more »
