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 »

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, meaning it’s time to prep your brunches, order nice flowers, and make a sick playlist for your mom, grandma, older sister, and/or whoever had a hand in making you the rockstar you are today. While we can’t order an Edible Arrangement for you, we have handpicked our favorite tracks that honor all forms of motherhood and womanhood. Stereotypically, pop-punkers and modern rockers are associated with hating their hometowns and hurling all their angst at their parents. From twenty one pilots’ breakout single “House Of Gold” all the way to Miley Cyrus’ 2019 feminist anthem “Mother’s… Read more »
