Across “Don’t Reach For Me,” much like “Blinding Faith,” the Kentucky natives delve into the contradictions and hypocrisy of organized religion. The album as a whole, evident through the two singles pulls from the collection, see the band at their “fastest,” “scariest,” “catchiest,” and “most… Read more »

BABYMETAL are back with their new single, “Leave It All Behind.” The track features Thai artists F. Hero and Bodyslam to create an intricately interesting new path sonically for the Japanese trio. Read more: Bayside Needs A “Miracle” On New Single The track is a mix of pop-rock with nu-metal undertones, partnered with signature metal guitars, which generates a unique outcome.

Ashnikko is genre-bending royalty, supercharging their debut album Weedkiller with punchy singles such as “Cheerleader” and the sunny groove “Worms.” Standout single “You Make Me Sick!” kicked off the entire Weedkiller era, and it was unforgettable. Raw, aggressive screams narrate pure unadulterated rage, and help listeners who relate channel their own anger. With her signature indie pop glow, Dora Jar teamed up with Ashnikko to add a new layer to this blistering track with the “You Make Me Sick! (Dora Jar Remix).” Dora Jar “peeled back the thorny parts of it to show the sad guy behind the screaming and… Read more »

In the latest track, Campbell encapsulates the raw desperation of navigating life paycheck to paycheck,… Read more »
GHØSTKID has announced a new album, Hollywood Suicide, and dropped the first single from the record, “FSU.” The new full-length comes out on March 22 via Century Media Records, ahead of their upcoming spring tour with Black Veil Brides, Creeper, and Dark Divine. The post-hardcore act embodies an edgy and (positively) offensive realness that hasn’t been in the scene for a bit. Dramatic make-up, masks at times, but overall, they appear like varieties of the undead, especially in the music video for the new single. All of which makes GHØSTKID stand out as new proverours in the genre. Vocalist Sebastian… Read more »
