Monsta X is making it a very Happy Valentine’s Day. Winter ain’t coming this February, monbebes, because the Monstas already rule the throne.
The guys share a Very Special Valentine’s Day with the hilarious Lauren Miller.
In the wake of their successful Valentine’s Day hit, “Uncomplicated,” Hey Violet has unveiled their latest gem, “Best Imposter.” Their latest offering delves fearlessly into the depths of imposter syndrome, a sentiment so universally relatable that those who haven’t encountered it are fortunate. Infused with raw vulnerability and unbridled honesty, the trio delivers a candid exploration of the inner turmoil and self-doubt that accompanies imposter syndrome. “For a long time, I’ve grappled with a lot of deeply held insecurities and how those show up in my life,” Rena Lovelis shares in a press release. I deal with a lot of… 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 »
In tandem with their return to the stage on February 28, Fall Out Boy released a brand-new music video for “So Much (For) Stardust.” Their latest album’s title-track video was preceded by videos for “Hold Me Like A Grudge,” “Heartbreak Feels So Good,” and “Love From The Other Side.” Unlike those music videos, the new one features a special star: Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler. Now, many chronically online Fall Out Boy fans may recall Butler from his meme moment when he arrived at Miami Heat media day in full emo hair with eyeliner and piercings. “Emo Jimmy Butler” truly… Read more »
The scene’s hottest alt-rockers, Beauty School Dropout, have shared an intoxicating music video for their anthemic 2023 single, “one night stand you.” The track appeared on the three-piece’s 9-track sophomore album, READY TO EAT, which arrived courtesy of Verswire on October 13, 2023. The music video kicks off in color, as it showcases vocalist Colie Hutzler’s dragging his signature hot-pink gaff taped mic across the dusty ground. However, the scene quickly fades and transitions into a striking black and white visual. The black and white overlay of the video further cements the central theme of the track, which is that… Read more »
Marking their first new music of 2024 and perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day, Loveless has unleashed their infectious new single, “Addicted.” And yes, yes we are. While the track explores emotional dependency culminating in addiction (“I lie to you again/She said is it gonna be alright?”), the accompanying music video depicts a life of lush luxury reined in by the group’s success. The portrayal sees vocalist/frontman Julian Comeau and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Tirapelli-Jamail indulge in a life of excess after signing away their artistry to a room of execs. Of course, the standout moment of the track is a seemingly subtle… Read more »
