Then Oxymorrons entered the game— and they’re ready to start a revolution. “‘Green Vision’ is us showing the shape of rock to come,” they explain as they chat about their new single. The song is only three minutes long, yet you’ll catch elements of hip hop, punk, and good ol’ rock and roll hiding in its… Read more »
For Americans across the nation, this July 4th might not feel like one worth celebrating. In Trump’s first six months in office, he’s sent the military on U.S. citizens in Los Angeles. ICE arrests have broken innocent families apart, and in most cases, those being deported have no criminal record (or are actual American citizens). Countless pieces of legislation were introduced or passed that take direct aim at the LGBTQ+ community. Federal workers were laid off en masse, the genocide in Palestine rages on, and this is merely scratching the surface. Refer back, even further, to 2023 when SCOTUS overturned… Read more »

The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! Sleep Theory has officially unleashed their 12-track debut album, Afterglow. Arriving alongside the album, the band has also dropped the video for their focus track “Gravity.” “‘Gravity’ is really just a classic R&B story—it’s about that real chemistry you sometimes feel with someone, even when the timing’s not perfect,” frontman Cullen Moore shares. “I wanted it to feel confident, a little flirty, and very 2000s—something that could’ve played in the background of a scene in a throwback movie.” He continues, “‘Gravity’ actually came together back in 2021, before we even… Read more »

Ahead of their debut album release next month, Sleep Theory has unleashed another pummeling single, “III.” Their full-length, Afterglow, arrives on May 16 via Epitaph Records. “At its core, ‘III’ is about betrayal,” vocalist Cullen Moore shares. “It’s that gut-wrenching feeling when someone you trusted completely lets you down. The song dives into that pain, but it’s also about facing the truth, even when it hurts, and realizing not everyone is who they say they are.” He concludes, “I want people to really think about who they let into their lives. Not everyone deserves your trust, and sometimes, those closest… Read more »
