Rosecoloredworld shared “Broken Glass,” an introspective rock track reflecting on how the words we tell ourselves can affect us. Surrounded by reverberating guitars, the duo sings with passionate vulnerability. “Sometimes, it’s okay to not be okay,” the band says. “So, this song is about finding the ones who believe in you even when you don’t believe in yourself.” They hit the road with Not My Weekend next month, a full list of dates and tickets are available here.
Skyler Acord — “The End Of Everything”
For fans of tech noir nightclub scenes in 80s and 90s films.
Skyler Acord (Issues, twenty one pilots) dropped a goth-esque, darkwave anthem, “The End Of Everything.” The track is Acord’s second solo single of the year and features an air of a classic dark romance. “[The song] is a romantic vision of death and love,” he says. “When separation is so unbearable that you have no choice but to follow your better half to the other side.”
Impossible Prom Kings — “Chastise”
For fans of the sick guitar run in “Your Betrayal” by Bullet For My Valentine.
Impossible Prom Kings signed with Ghost Killer Entertainment and shared their latest single, “Chastise.” Guitarist and backup vocalist Hunter Fury describes the track as an “in-your-face” anthem focused on the rage people experience in life. “It was written to represent a release of pent-up anger and despair, a song to connect with people who face adversity within their vices, relationships, and everything in between.”
Anna Shoemaker — “Game Of Thrones”
For fans of reminiscing about the wild times when you were young.
Anna Shoemaker released a new single, “Game Of Thrones,” to be featured on her upcoming LP Someone Should Stop Her. Backed by soft pop beats, Shoemaker sings about what your late twenties can feel like and how they shape a person. “It’s about doom scrolling, comparison, wanting to keep up with trends, binge-watching TV, accidentally blacking out at the family reunion,” she says. “All the things that you thought you’d left behind in your early twenties and yet….” Someone Should Stop Her releases on February 21, 2025, and is available to preorder here. She is currently supporting Joe P on tour, tickets and dates can be found here.
Not Enough Space — “Primitive”
For fans of silky smooth transitions from singing to screaming.
With the announcement of their signing to Thriller Records, Not Enough Space also dropped a raging new track and music video, “Primitive.” “[The song] is about feeling trapped in a toxic relationship with a significant other,” says vocalist Lizzie. “Both parties feel that they cannot leave because they’re holding onto memories and their false sense of hope that maybe one day things will get better.” The group is currently supporting The Funeral Portrait and Dark Devine on tour, see the rest of the dates and grab tickets here.
The Driver Era — “Don’t Walk Away”
