Marking their second new single of the year, Boston Manor has unleashed the intricate, riff-driven “Sliding Doors.” Led by a guitar-heavy arrangement and amplified by frontman Henry Cox’s unmistakable prowess, the track is a reflection of the group’s past, present, and, ultimately, future. Their new single follows the release of “Container” in February. According to Cox, the track shares its namesake with the 1998 Gwyneth Paltrow-led film Sliding Doors. The movie depicts Paltrow’s lead character, Helen Quilley, in two alternative worlds where the decisions she makes on a single day inform the rest of her life. Boston Manor’s latest single… Read more »
The Jason Aalon Butler-led FEVER 333 is reminding everyone that there’s a fever coming… The four-piece group—comprised of Butler at the helm alongside guitarist Brandon Davis (Lions Lions), drummer Thomas Pridgen ( The Mars Volta, Thundercat, Trash Talk), and bassist April Kae (IMANIGOLD)—have unleashed the fever with their blistering new single, “READY ROCK.” The track, which was produced by FEVER 333 with co-production courtesy of Beach Noise and Glassjaw‘s Justin Beck, marks the collective’s first new music since issuing “$wing” last spring when their new lineup launched.

This emotional goodbye was only worsened and cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. These unforeseen setbacks added an extra layer of emotion to what was already a deeply sentimental farewell, leaving fans grappling with uncertainty about the band’s future and the possibility of bidding them a proper goodbye.… Read more »
We’re sorry, UK ragers: It doesn’t look like Rage Against The Machine has any plans to return to next year’s Reading & Leeds festival. Since postponing their 2022 slot, fans have been wondering if they will make it back to their beloved country anytime soon. With this year’s festival just ending and 2024 plans well underway, the possibility is slim to none. In an interview with NME, Melvin Benn of Festival Republic shares with fans that it is highly unlikely that the band will return to the festival anytime soon. “It’s not an agenda item at the moment, let’s put… Read more »
Better Lovers played their first ever shows, two back-to-back, in Buffalo last week. It was absolute chaos, to say the least.
May is Asian American or Pacific Islander Heritage (AAPI) Month, and it would be terribly remiss of us to not cover that in this column.
“I used to put you first and always leave myself behind and I’ll admit you got real close, but I’ll be sleeping fine tonight. Sorry I don’t mean to disappoint you. You didn’t ruin my life” I’m a sucker for nostalgia (I am a millennial after all). So when I think of Simple Plan, I like to think back to the 6th grade and being introduced to pop-punk music by listening to “Welcome to My Life”; or everyone losing their minds when one of their songs came on at a high school dance. For those bands that you’ve loved for… Read more »
