Dayseeker releases their haunting cover of Evanescence’s song, “My Immortal.” The track will be on their upcoming acoustic album, Replica, which drops on April 19 via Spinefarm. The music video for the rendition is a homage to how stripped down from their original post-hardcore sound they’re looking to showcase to fans. Standing in a studio with vocalist Rory Rodriguez and guitarist Gino Sgambelluri, they paint a sad picture emphasizing the theme of isolated grief. When the chorus builds up, the emotional tangent Rodriguez rips into is simplistically gripping. It is a rare feat when it comes to reimagining classic works… Read more »
Marking the beginning of their end, NOFX has dropped a new song and music video for their track, “I’m A Rat.” Taking advantage of Mickey Mouse entering the public domain in 2024, the legendary punk band had “Steamboat Fatty” embrace his kinky side and be incredibly self-indulgent with cheese. (Who of us hasn’t wanted to go ham on some cheese?) “I am a rat/And I don’t wanna hear your sermon/I am a vermin/And I’m always gonna gnaw on things/I know will aggravate you,” Fat Mike sings. Check out the parody music video for “I’m A Rat” below. The song is… Read more »
After teasing her empowering and sex-positive new single, the queen—Scene Queen, that is—has returned with her latest release, “Finger.” Scene Queen says she wrote the sexually-powerful new track about her “queer awakening.” The single will be featured on her eagerly-awaited debut full-length, Hot Singles In Your Area, scheduled to arrive via Hopeless Records this year. Introducing her latest track with a cheeky voiceover, “This isn’t a hit baby, it’s a finger banger,” Scene Queen invites listeners into her unapologetically raunchy world of candid honesty about sexual pleasure. With a climactic chorus that hits like a rapid-fire round of Bop It!,… Read more »
We are still PRAYING for a full Cobra Starship reunion, especially after last night when the iconic duo joined Fall Out Boy onstage. After joining William Beckett and The Academy Is… co. on stage to bring it for the When We Were Young Fest crowd in October 2023 with back-to-back surprise performances of “Snakes On A Plane (Bring It),” Gabe Saporta has done it again. Except this time, he’s had a little help from his Cobra Starship partner in crime, Vicky T, on their 2009 track “Good Girls Go Bad.” Their latest reunion collaboration unfolded on stage at the Honda… Read more »
While attending the 2024 BRIT Awards on March 2 at London’s O2 Arena, Bring Me The Horizon took home the prize for Best Rock/Alternative Act. Additionally, as they walked the red carpet, they were asked if their forthcoming record POST HUMAN: NeX GEn is coming soon, and we got an answer… sort of. The band was originally scheduled to release the second installment, POST HUMAN: NeX Gen, on September 15, 2023. Unfortunately, the release was delayed due to “unforeseen circumstances,” according to the band’s official statement. On the BRIT Awards red carpet, NME approached the artists about the record. “It’s nearly… Read more »
Following their unexpected yet fiery collaboration released on February 16, PVRIS has now unveiled the visually striking black-and-white motif accompanying their latest single, “BURN THE WITCH.” Featuring rapper Tommy Genesis and the innovative DJ/producer/singer/songwriter Alice Longyu Gao, the track loosely delves into the historical narrative of women accused of witchcraft and the fear they instilled, particularly in men. However, the track transcends storytelling to become a strong anthem of empowerment for women and minorities. Notably, the single boasts an all-female team behind its creation, from writing to production and engineering. This underlines PVRIS leader Lynn Gunn‘s commitment to inclusivity across… Read more »
Paramore is kicking off March with a brand-new video for their This Is Why track “Thick Skull.” The breezy, indie song’s visuals continue the story first started on “This Is Why.” At the end of the initial video, Hayley Williams is seen smearing red lipstick all over her face and staring at herself in the mirror. The “Thick Skull” music video opens up in the same setting as Williams solemnly sings, “I am a magnet for broken pieces/I am attracted to broken people.” Similar to “This Is Why,” this video is also directed by none other than Turnstile‘s lead vocalist… Read more »
It has been quite a few years of ups and downs for Games We Play. His debut record, Life’s Going Great, released via Fueled By Ramen/DCD2 Records, focuses on what we lose when we follow our dreams. Shining the spotlight on insecurity, burn-out, and a broken marriage, Emmyn Calleiro, the mastermind behind the project, writes about the side of success that is rarely discussed but often felt immensely. His lyrics are unapologetically honest, cutting straight to the substance of everything that has happened in the last 12 months. But rather than wallowing, Games We Play turns his pain into self-deprecating… Read more »
