Screamo legends From First To Last have returned with another new single, marking the group’s second release of 2024 after not releasing music in six years.

On September 24, FEVER 333 lead vocalist Jason Butler took to Instagram to share that the Welcome To Tha Function tour with ZULU, HUE, Move, Bucki Sugar, and CLIQUE is canceled. In an Instagram video, Butler says to the camera, “I come to you admittedly a bit uncomfortable and afraid, but grateful for the opportunity to be honest.

EDM DJ Illenium isn’t a stranger to the alternative scene. During his Los Angeles, CA, shows on February 2 and 3 at SoFi Stadium, he brought out several special guests. The tour is to support his self-titled independent release, which arrived last spring. Illenium’s exploration into the alt scene isn’t unheard of.

With reworked songs, sometimes it can take time to get used to new sounds, flow, and even sometimes fewer vocals. But guitarist Dan Brown says, “I… Read more »
It’s a pretty beginning of a fall afternoon when I meet up with Bryce Avery, better known as The Rocket Summer at a park in Los Angeles. After about 10 minutes of trying and failing to locate each other in the park, we finally managed to find our way. We caught up quickly after our last meeting at this summer’s APMAs, and then took a nice hike up the trails–me in heels, and him in a leather jacket–to help photographer Erica Lauren get the perfect pictures before coming back down to talk about his “not really a comeback” comeback.
