Following up his pop-punk-laced September 2023 release “Friends With Your EX,” Landon Barker has returned with his new single, “Over You.” Produced by his father, blink-182‘s Travis Barker, the heart-wrenching track opens with melancholy acoustic strums before burgeoning into a yearning chorus. The 20-year-old artist trades in pop-punk vocals for glowing soul infused with gentle rock. Many theorize that the sad anthem refers to his recent split from social media personality Charli D’Amelio. The pair dated for over a year before their February 2024 split. “Some people you will never get over until the day you die,” Barker says, “‘Over… Read more »
After marking her return to her pop-punk roots in spring 2023 with “People That I Love Leave,” Cassadee Pope has kicked off the new year with her punchy new single, “Eye Contact.” “I wanted to write a song about the lasting effects a liar has on someone else,” Pope shares. “Sometimes, the very thought of maintaining eye contact with someone after being betrayed can feel impossible. I wanted to compliment the lyric with a heavy approach sonically. I feel like that really gets the frustration across.” Read more: 7 Female Punk Artists Leading The Genre She adds on her social… Read more »

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 »

Dayseeker releases their haunting cover of Evanescence’s song, “My Immortal.” The track will be on their upcoming acoustic album, Replica, which drops on April 19 via Spinefarm. The music video for the rendition is a homage to how stripped down from their original post-hardcore sound they’re looking to showcase to fans. Standing in a studio with vocalist Rory Rodriguez and guitarist Gino Sgambelluri, they paint a sad picture emphasizing the theme of isolated grief. When the chorus builds up, the emotional tangent Rodriguez rips into is simplistically gripping. It is a rare feat when it comes to reimagining classic works… Read more »
