Say Anything are back together and have released a brand new track, “Psyche!” Today. They are a band that have always done things differently than everyone else. They stuck out like a sore thumb in the scene since their inception in a beautifully unique and transparently broken way. Max Bemis is a genius to say the least and you won’t find another project quite like his. Hell, their first full-length album, …Is A Real Boy, was intended to be a performative musical that transformed into a two-part melodic odyssey. With spoken word interludes, triumphant and drastic sonic changes within each… Read more »

Brooklyn’s premier punk duo THICK is back with an all-too-relatable track, “Mother” via Epitaph Records. And no—it’s not something to play for your mom this Mother’s Day. Preceded by the devastating “Father,” the new single has a lot to say about romantic relationship dynamics. “’Mother’ is a shoutout to all the caretakers in relationships who are sick and tired of falling into that role. It’s an easy trap to fall into. You start a relationship with love and care, then start to carry the burden of your partner’s wounds, becoming the parental figure, and wanting to heal them more than… Read more »
