What better way to kick off a weekend than with new music? Featuring new tracks from Mayday Parade, The 1975, Waterparks, and more.
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Gunz has gathered some of his friends for a discussion about the situation + its effect on the music industry.
This post tugs at my heart-strings and is going to be hard to write. A band that many of us grew up with, have shared tears of joy and pain, danced with and screamed our lungs out to, Say Anything – is saying good-bye. At least, for now. In a lengthy but in-depth letter on the Say Anything website, lead singer Max Bemis (and one of my favorite humans I’ve ever had the pleasure to interact with and just speak to… the dude is a genius and f’n rules) said that “this era” of Say Anything is over. “Our plans… Read more »
It certainly does not suck to be Four Year Strong right now.

Recently, Maureen Callahan wrote a piece for the New York Post about Crush Management, the NYC cadre that shepherds the careers of Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, the Academy Is … , Boys Like Girls and Armor for Sleep (or, as Callahan puts it, “basically any band that a 13-year-old girl with a blog and a Hot Topic habit obsesses over”). Aside from providing readers with some genuinely bananas quotes from songwriter/ rock-and-roll vampire Butch Walker about credibility (especially considering this is on his résumé), the article is excellent primarily because it floats the hypothesis that the artists… Read more »
Hawthorne Heights frontman JT Woodruff can scream like nobody’s business, but when he’s speaking to you one-on-one, it’s in soft, hushed tones, like his voice has been wrapped in a woolen scarf. And his voice gets even softer when he’s asked about his band’s recent successes: the record that’s climbing the charts, the headlining slot on this summer’s Warped Tour and the video that’s just been added to MTV’s rotation. It’s one thing to be uncomfortable in the spotlight, but Woodruff’s aversion to sudden fame is downright Rivers Cuomo-esque. “Uh, well, it means more kids are coming to our shows.… Read more »
