“Are We Having Fun Yet?” is what Definitely Maybe is asking everyone. The Chicago act has debuted their new music video for the track, which features a bubblegum pink and black motif throughout. Much like those colors complement each other, the chemistry between the band is undeniable while watching the energetic performance. “This video wrestles with the question ‘Is it more fun to actually do the thing or to watch someone else do the thing?’” the band explains. They pose the question of being content and voyeuristic to others doing work or living the life you want to live: “The… Read more »
When Casey announced their split at the tail-end of 2018, there was an expectation that we would never hear from them again. Putting to bed an emotional whirlwind of a five-year career, their music captured a particular intensity that many bands never even get close to achieving. Though following their instincts and allowing themselves to reconvene, 2022 signaled a new chapter for the five-piece. That started as a handful of shows at the beginning of 2023, alongside a pair of tracks in “Great Grief” and “Atone,” summing up the feelings of getting to know each other again. It has now… Read more »
There’s no doubt that Green Day is “Still Breathing” and ready to rock. In a recent interview with People, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong revealed that a popular pop-punk boy band wanted him to write them a song. But Armstrong had a different thought about it. “All of a sudden, I was writing the lyrics, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, there’s no fucking way I’m giving these guys this song,’” he says about their Revolution Radio single, “Still Breathing.” 5 Seconds Of Summer asked him to pen a track for them, however, after Armstrong saw what he created, he… Read more »

Green Day has never been the type to hold back—and they’re certainly not starting now with the release of their deeply personal new single and accompanying video for “Dilemma.” The new release marks the third preview of the trio’s forthcoming 14th studio album, Saviors, set to arrive on January 19, 2024. The unfiltered track opens with gentle guitar strums, setting the stage for frontman Billie Joe Armstrong‘s croons, “Welcome to my problems/It’s not an invitation/This is my dilemma/And it’s my obsession.” The song then explodes with full force, unleashing a powerhouse of electric guitar riffs and thunderous drums, amplifying Armstrong’s… Read more »

Indie-rock group, Mom Jeans has surprised us all today by dropping a new album, Bear Market. Technically the songs aren’t new, but the sound and execution is entirely fresh. Bear Market consists of sixteen popular Mom Jeans tracks completely re-imagined and re-worked into beautiful, new versions. The band has even given each track a different name, while still paying tribute to the original title. For example, “Edward 40Hands” is now just “40 hands“, “Death Cup” is now “death by cup“, and “What’s Up?” is now “wassup 😉.” We love the clever approach – recognizable but easily differentiated. “We had all… Read more »
