If you’re not scream-singing all of the lyrics to The Veronicas’ new single “Perfect” this weekend at When We Were Young Fest, then you clearly missed the memo. Marking their first new music as a duo since 2021’s double-album release, “Perfect” emerges as a quintessential alt-pop/emo anthem that instantly reminds you of why you fell in love with the Aussie twins when they released their 2017 hit single, “Untouched.” With John Feldmann from Big Noise at the helm and fueled by the explosive drumming prowess of blink-182’s Travis Barker, “Perfect” lives up to its name in every sense of the… Read more »
Everyone has that one song they hope to hear from their favorite band at a live show. Sometimes we get lucky and our favorite track is one of their hits, other times our favorite track isn’t as popular. Perhaps a b-side that rarely gets any love on the stage or a tune from an older album that hasn’t seen a spot in the setlist in years. A festival with a line-up as stacked as When We Were Young, there is potential for a load of surprises. Bands and artists tend to get a little weird as festivals. We crafted a… Read more »
Kids In Glass Houses brought their 15 year celebration of ‘Smart Casual’ to London and showed why they are still the best of the best.
Ice Nine Kills have brought the curtain down on their epic Horrorwood story with one slash bite in the form of “Meat & Greet”.
In classic MUNA fashion, the trio surprised fans at The Greek Theatre with a fun cover. During their headlining shows on both October 11 and 12, the “Silk Chiffon” musicians covered “Since U Been Gone,” Kelly Clarkson‘s 2004 hit single. YouTube user @LizElze recorded the entire cover and noted in the video’s caption, “we all went a little feral for this ngl.” Check out the full cover below. This YouTube user was not lying, as TikTok user Jasmine Graham shared a video with the caption, “Help Katie told everyone off.” No worries, as “telling off” the crowd was all in… Read more »

It has been a monumental week of changes for Anberlin. While change can be scary, that’s how you know it’s worth it. Earlier this week, the alternative rock band announced that their longtime frontman, Stephen Christian, will be stepping down from his role for the foreseeable future. While this is not a permanent change, Anberlin remains transparent with their fans regarding this new era of music and touring. “After being in this band for 20 years, we’ve really noticed that the only constant is change,” the video begins. “There’s so many different eras of Anberlin from ending in 2014 to… Read more »
FELICITY are back once again with another hard hitting modern rock tune in the form of “She’s Nuclear”. It’s a hot one.
What a time to be an emo kid. With nostalgia in vogue, scene kids like ourselves are begging for another chance to live out our Warped Tour fantasies. The days of thick rubber bracelets with “I Love Boobies” imprinted into them, free meet-and-greets at the merch tent, and a day chock-full of heavy-hitting acts in the alternative space. Luckily, When We Were Young Fest is filling this void for the second year in a row with another incredibly stacked lineup. From legacy headliners like Green Day and blink-182 to next-generation acts like Magnolia Park and Games We Play, the second-annual… Read more »
