It’s a good day to be an Anthony Green fan! The Circa Survive frontman has released two new singles: the folky “Last Summer In America” and the twinkling “All Hours.” “I was walking around Europe a lot on the recent LS Dunes tour, and I found myself singing these words in this melody,” Green shares via Instagram. “I heard somebody say the ‘last summer in America’, but referring to how they were in America last summer, past tense.” He continues, “I started dreaming up the idea of writing a simple folk song about how we seem to be more inclined… Read more »
Ukrainian prog-metal act JINJER has returned with the surprise release of a new single and music video for “Someone’s Daughter” out now via Napalm Records. The gripping metal track and fiery music video explore the resilience of women spanning generations and the brighter future each is trying to forge. “’Someone’s Daughter‘ is an artistic attempt to cast the light on the inner world of women, who in various scenarios and circumstances, have had to choose a path that was historically made by men,” vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk says. “In a world where women are often underestimated and overlooked, they are still… Read more »

As “Horses In A Dream” progresses, it takes on a… Read more »
PVRIS is back with a brightly romantic single, “Oil & Water,” out via Hopeless Records. Highlighted by sultry vocals partnered with mellow guitars and layered with a continuously catchy beat, the song displays vocalist Lynn Gunn’s knack for creating a dizzyingly reflective track. Gunn says the inspiration behind the lyrics is about what you would do for a relationship. “The song is about the push and pull of mismatched love and the lengths you’d go to make it work.” Not only does she develop a sound that is intriguing and infectious, but she becomes relatable through her writing that connects… Read more »
Sometimes you just need to be straightforward. That’s exactly what Can’t Swim accomplishes across their new song, “No Backbone.” The track taps into a quick-paced pop-punk sound while still holding onto the New Jersey acts post-hardcore instrumentation. Singer Chris LoPorto says that the single was written quickly, but the band still went back to check their work. “Once we finished it, we went back a few times to see if we should add a part or bring more instrumentation/layers to the mix, but whatever we did seemed to take away from the song rather than add to it.” He continues,… Read more »

No one’s going to Give Up on The Postal Service, especially not Death Cab For Cutie’s Ben Gibbard. Gibbard is pulling double duty with the show line-up as he’s the vocalist of both popular groups. The electrifying show is a testament to the indie-rock and pop genre that ushered in a new phase for underground artists that still keeps The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie as scene icons of inspiration. With the success of the initial, sold-out tour run, fans will get another chance to experience their energetic and nostalgic performance on stage in 2024. The Give Up… Read more »
