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 »
Roe Kapara is back to make your Friday a “Glorious Day” with his new track. This marks the first 2024 release from the Epitaph Records signee, which follows up his recent 2023 singles “Fajita!” and “The Dead Come Talking.” Featuring a wide range of indie rock sonics, Kapara begins the track with grungey guitar tones and crescendos into delightfully fuzzy vocals, and euphoria-inducing choruses. The conclusion is tender and comforting, with delicate “ahhhs” over acoustic strums. “I know that I’m not a dancer, but I’ll dance anyway/It’s a perfect disaster, what a glorious day,” Kapara brightly sings. This is certainly… Read more »
In an unlikely yet remarkable crossover collaboration, PVRIS has teamed up with Canadian rapper Tommy Genesis and boundary-pushing DJ/producer/singer/songwriter Alice Longyu Gao to deliver the ultimate female-empowerment anthem, “BURN THE WITCH.” The new single marks a monumental moment for PVRIS leader Lynn Gunn (Gunnulfsen) as it’s the first track from the esteemed project where she receives full and proper credit for production and recording—a milestone she’s passionately pursued and fought toward for over a decade since the group’s inception. Additionally, with three female powerhouses leading the charge on this forward-thinking track, the new release was also entirely written, produced, engineered,… Read more »
While She Sleeps has released their new single, “To The Flowers,” off of their upcoming full-length, Self Hell. It will be their first full-length since 2021 and comes out on March 29. The British act also dropped a cinematic music video to accompany the single to showcase the loss of simplicity and optimism. Vocalist Loz Taylor explains that the video flows through continuous tragedy. “‘To The Flowers’ is emotional, tragic, and real life. We intended to make a short film that encompasses the real emotions of relationships, grief, love, death, and pain.” With scenes running in motion, cut scenes of… Read more »
Dayseeker is stripping down their sound on their upcoming acoustic album, Replica. With the album announcement, they also dropped a reimagined version of“Burial Plot” featuring Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo. The track, which initially appeared on the group’s 2019 full-length Sleeptalk, incorporates a handy-dandy guitar and elevates itself through other vocal additions. Partnering with two powerhouse vocalists like Shomo and Dayseeker’s Rory Rodriguez, generates an evocative sound that makes this reimagined rendition stand out above the group’s original version of the track. The reverberation in play with the vocals creates an atmosphere for the listener that assists with impacting the message… Read more »
