As we commemorate International Women’s Month, it is essential to recognize and appreciate women’s remarkable talent and invaluable contributions to the punk music scene. Women-led punk bands have been making waves for years, but their impact has been particularly significant in recent times, owing to their exceptional musical prowess, electrifying live performances, and inspiring lyrical messages. Women have proven that they are more than capable of holding their own in a predominantly male-dominated genre and have, in many cases, surpassed many of their male counterparts in terms of creativity, originality, and musical skill. It is high time that we give… Read more »

With 2024 swiftly underway, a wave of eagerly-awaited new singles, albums, and more are poised to make their way into the heavy rotation of our go-to playlists sooner than we realize. Unlike the previous year when Fireworks dropped their new collection, Higher Lonely Power—their first full-length since 2014’s Oh, Common Life—on New Year’s Day, we’ve had a moment to decompress from the holiday madness before diving headfirst into the new release calendar marked by the turn of the new year. Ranging from long-awaited releases such as Neck Deep’s self-titled album and Ghost Atlas’ first new collection since 2017, to debut… Read more »

Everyone has that one song they hope to hear from their favorite band at a live show. Sometimes we get lucky and our favorite track is one of their hits, other times our favorite track isn’t as popular. Perhaps a b-side that rarely gets any love on the stage or a tune from an older album that hasn’t seen a spot in the setlist in years. A festival with a line-up as stacked as When We Were Young, there is potential for a load of surprises. Bands and artists tend to get a little weird as festivals. We crafted a… Read more »
Pulled from their fourth studio full-length Suicide And Sunshine, Australian post-punk mainstays Trophy Eyes have issued a new video for their hopeful yet exhilarating single, “OMW.” While the video is simple in its storytelling, the striking use of color and the outdoor backdrop vividly brings the band’s punk attitude to life, fueling the energy and spirit of the track. While the group infuses “OMW” with a familiar emotional depth, the track plays on its simplicity by detailing themes of self-discovery and personal growth. A standout track on their most recent LP, “OMW” masterfully blends a pop sensibility with the raw… Read more »
Paramore is back at it again. Known for teasing their fans with cryptic social media posts, the world-dominating trio is sending fans into a frenzy with their latest X and Facebook posts. The post, which includes an iPhone screen recording of the Notes app, lists three dates: September 28, October 2, and October 6. Alongside each date is a rearrangement of the words in This Is Why. Titled “Re: This Is Why,” fans wonder if Paramore is teasing a deluxe edition of their sixth studio album, which dropped earlier this year, a remix of the title track, or something completely… Read more »
Gen And The Degenerates have taken a request from their label and made a savage and sneering tongue-in-cheek track that will get stuck in your head.
Mother’s Day is fast approaching, meaning it’s time to prep your brunches, order nice flowers, and make a sick playlist for your mom, grandma, older sister, and/or whoever had a hand in making you the rockstar you are today. While we can’t order an Edible Arrangement for you, we have handpicked our favorite tracks that honor all forms of motherhood and womanhood. Stereotypically, pop-punkers and modern rockers are associated with hating their hometowns and hurling all their angst at their parents. From twenty one pilots’ breakout single “House Of Gold” all the way to Miley Cyrus’ 2019 feminist anthem “Mother’s… Read more »
HotWax are a raw punk powerhouse taking over the underground alternative scene all across the UK. Comprised of three eighteen year-olds, barely out of high school, their craft of post-punk grunge anthems is quite the impressive feat. Today they have announced the release of a brand new EP A Thousand Times out May 19th via Marathon Artists. The trio has also dropped the title track and accompanying music video. Vocalist Tallulah Sim-Savage shares “The EP is a homage to mine and Lola’s relationship growing up together and the arguments we’d have a thousand times. The EP includes themes of guilt,… Read more »
