Believe it or not, in April 2015, Sabrina Carpenter released her debut album Eyes Wide Open. (yes, she has been grinding in the music industry well before the launch of “Espresso.”) This isn’t the only important record released a decade ago. Notably, 2015 was the release year of some of the most iconic records in the alternative scene—from indie to pop-punk. These 2015 albums are turning 10 this April 2025, and we still can’t believe it.

The Dangerous Summer has delivered a mesmerizing new version of their 2021 single “The Best Part of Letting Go (Reimagined).” This new rendition is a refreshing take on the original, bringing a new life into the lyrics through amplified instrumentation and electro-pop elements. AJ Perdomo‘s vocal delivery is raw and unfiltered, conveying the pain and longing in the lyrics with incredible depth.

Pulling inspiration from a wide variety of artists including My Chemical Romance, 100 gecs, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, and even Lil Peep, LA-based Eli Hurts has released his highly-anticipated debut solo album, Ouch. Arriving today via Rude Records, Ouch has been brewing in Hurts since childhood. After releasing his debut EP, Future Accountants of America, Unite in 2020, Hurts set the tone of his forward-motion career through an array of alternative, emo, pop, punk, and a dash or two of synth.

[imgfull] [/imgfull] This week, we’ll dive into The Long Ranger movie and the meaning of the word “kemosabe”, then jump into tracks from The Wombats, Chvrches, and Everything Everything. The Static Jacks’ debut album If You’re Young is a record you might want to add to your music catalogue before the summer rolls in. Rae Harvey is one the top music managers in the Australian Music Industry. She managed HUGE Australian band, the Living End and 360, and also brought out acts to Australia such as Blink 182. She’s literally done everything and is an absolute legend. After working in the music industry for over 25 years, Rae hit an animal driving and had a massive self realization… she needed to work with animals. From that moment on, she pursued her dream to one day own a kangaroo sanctuary and eventually set one up in New South Wales. The devastating Australian fires earlier this year saw her entire Kangaroo Sanctuary and home burn down. Over a billion animals were killed in the fires. Kangaroos, Wombats, Koalas and thousands of other species. Absolutely devastating. Rae almost lost her own life in the fires, narrowly escaping by boat thanks to being rescued by a neighbor. She has since returned to the property to rebuild and look after the kangaroos, many of which returned injured after the fires. We tell her story. DO NOT MISS THIS INTERVIEW!
