The Gaslight Anthem have shared another piece of their upcoming album ‘History Books’. It’s called “Little Fires” and it is wonderful.
The Japanese rock band, One Ok Rock are outdoing themselves with the release of their new single, “Make It Out Alive.” Released via Fueled By Ramen, the song features the band’s signature rock sound by combining driving guitar parts with explosive drum fills that add an infectious energy after one listen. The song marks the band’s first release of 2023 and could very likely mark the beginning of a new album cycle. Their last record, Luxury Disease, made it to the No. 1 slot on the Oricon Japanese Albums charts and ranked No. 32 in UK Album Downloads in its… Read more »
Seeing him tonight is a bad idea right? Olivia Rodrigo has shared her second single “bad idea right?” from her upcoming sophomore album GUTS out September 8th. In all its pop-rock glory, the new track is nothing short of an absolute BANGER. Starting off with a grungy guitar riff, you are immediately transported into the attitude-filled, tongue-in-cheek world that Rodrigo has perfected. It is snotty, clever, and feels like a shit-eating grin of a track. Olivia Rodrigo basically talks the verses, in a smug, self-satisfied fashion. She is doing something she shouldn’t, making a probable mistake, but frankly doesn’t care.… Read more »
Cassadee Pope is boldly reclaiming her throne in pop-punk with the release of her latest venture “Almost There.” Marking her second new release of 2023 following “People That I Love Leave,” which Pope recently performed at the idobi Studios in LA, “Almost There” presents a juxtaposing feel compared to her previous single release. “Almost There” delves into a more sensual side of Pope’s songwriting that she’s previously left untapped. Co-written by Pope, alongside renowned talents Nick Furlong (credited for work with blink-182, 5 Seconds Of Summer, and Papa Roach) and Christina Galligan (affiliated with gnash and aespa), the song invites… Read more »
Following the success and praise of their previous single “Who’s Laughing Now,” Durry have issued their anthemic new single aptly titled “Coming Of Age.” The brother-sister duo’s “Coming Of Age” is a dynamic and modern indie rock track that pays homage to Dolly Parton‘s timeless classic “9 to 5.” The new track serves as the second preview of their upcoming debut album, Suburban Legend, which arrives September 8. The accompanying music video for “Coming Of Age” is a visual treat, featuring the duo dressed in ironic office attire, performing amidst a sea of cubicles. The juxtaposition of their energetic performance… Read more »
New York-based newcomer RAEGAN has returned with her new queer anthem “WALTZ” to mark the beginning of Pride Month. This empowering track holds great significance as it was written during RAEGAN‘s senior year of high school, a period when she embarked on her own personal journey as a young queer individual. Through the lens of a lesbian relationship, “WALTZ” skillfully reimagines the timeless tale of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo And Juliet,’ offering a fresh and heartfelt perspective. Moreover, “WALTZ” represents a pivotal moment in RAEGAN‘s life, where she fearlessly embraced her own queerness despite encountering resistance from her parents. This track showcases… Read more »

Queer Boston-based four-piece shallow pools have launched their fresh single “IHYK” via Equal Vision Records. The new release follows their previous singles “Now Or Never” and “Say What You Want,” which were co-written with groundbreaking LGBTQIA+ artist Lynn Gunn of PVRIS. “IHYK” is showcased by an infectious, earworm chorus highlighted by vocalist Glynnis Brennan’s passionate delivery flourishing across crisp guitar riffs courtesy of guitarist Jess Gromada. However, it’s drummer Ali Ajemian’s intricate fills and lively that drive the track forward complemented seamlessly by bassist Haley Senft’s groovy rhythms. Together, the group demonstrates their exceptional musicianship and ability to craft memorable… Read more »

In an array of slow-burn ballads and unabashed honesty, Slouch reads more like Giuliana Mormile’s personal diary where they’re free to be who they want to be and articulate their most intimate moments. Opening with the kaleidoscope-esque track, “Closure” before blooming into the album’s third track “Boyfriend,” Slouch is an amalgamation of highs and lows that represent Mormile’s intimate journey as an artist. We had the chance to speak with Mormile, the mastermind behind Kicksie ahead… Read more »
