The release encapsulates the glory days of early 2000’s pop-punk nostalgia combined with the production quality and modern-day edge of 2024’s brightest scene artists.… Read more »
Marking their third single of the year following the successful release of “Charlie Sheen” alongside Point North’s Jon Lundin in February and “Lovesick Blues” in May, FELICITY has dropped “Nights In Your Bed.” “‘Nights In Your Bed’ is an extremely personal song for us, and the writing process was a very therapeutic experience,” the band shares in a press release. “Several of us suffered our own heartbreak this past year. As we crafted the song, we delved into the depths of our own tumultuous breakups, transforming pain into poetry and heartache into harmony. Although all good things must come to… Read more »

But that’s not to say that they exist outside the realm of reasonable comparison. We scoured the alternative underground to prove that point. And while we can’t promise the recreation of that first magical moment you first heard Sing The Sorrow, we did pluck a handful of new music recommendations from the AFI ethos.
