Following the release of his Mean Girls-inspired “PET WITH THE TISM,” NOAHFINNCE is keeping the releases coming. On October 10, he dropped his brand-new single, “HEADCASE,” via Hopeless Records. “‘HEADCASE’ is about feeling consistently overwhelmed with life and feeling paranoia about people perceiving you…LOL,” NOAHFINNCE shares on Instagram.

Following the September release of single, “PET WITH THE TISM,” NOAHFINNCE has revealed the track’s official music video. And it is sooooo fetch! When he first released the song, the artist shared, “Getting an autism diagnosis made me re-evaluate how people have treated me/ perceived me throughout my life and I wanted to write a stupid, fun song about how it feels like everybody has always looked down on me.” So, of course, a “stupid, fun song” requires a wild and silly music video to match. NOAHFINNCE tapped into the world of Mean Girls and got a giant tricycle to… Read more »

Origami Angel reinvent themselves once again with an ode to a shitty summer vacation in “Thank You, New Jersey” via Counter Intuitive Records. The DC two-piece are constantly transforming. Last fall the duo released two EPs spanning across entirely different soundscapes, showing their versatility in song writing.

It showcases the bands ability to highlight all the most coveted pieces of creating a good alternative rock song. The song is coated in the technical aspects of math rock, the confined chaos of hardcore, all while nodding… Read more »

With that lineup, organizers expect that tickets to sell without a hitch along the way, in… Read more »
Every day, the roughly one million people who visit the iTunes Store home page are presented with several dozen albums, TV shows and movie downloads to consider buying — out of the four million such goods the Apple site offers. This prime promotion is analogous to a CD being displayed at the checkout stands of all 940 Best Buy stores or featured on the front page of Target’s ad circular. How do bands get these boosts? Who decides whether Arcade Fire is plugged at the top of the iTunes site — or whether Nickelback gets no mention? Apple has jettisoned… Read more »
