Pop-punkers Gold Bloom have dropped their new single, “Clarity,” featuring As December Falls. They released a music video to accompany the track, and it’s in the place where most of us have a brain-blast moment: in the shower. This marks the Liverpool band’s first release of 2024.

Sometimes the songs hidden between the singles on an album are the best ones. Maybe they weren’t front and center, but they play an integral part of the narrative. “Heart Of Gold” by Beauty School Dropout is a shining example of this notion. Not a primary focus of their sophomore album, READY TO EAT, but perhaps the last piece of the puzzle that when you step back, makes the effort complete. Arguably a song with one of the strongest melodies on the album, the band takes a staccato approach to the verses with lead singer, Colie Hutzler singing: “Trouble when… Read more »
