Following the release of “Mona Lisa On A Mattress,” Bishop Briggs is back with her new single “Good For Me.” Both tracks are set to appear on Tell My Therapist I’m Fine, out on October 18. Of the ethereal and grunge-laced track, Briggs shared a deep personal anecdote. “’Good For Me,’” she says, “was an idea I had rattling in my head since lockdown during COVID.

This time, without creative differences in their way. Luckily, House Of Protection—their new venture—found its sound on their first day of writing. The band combines the raw grit and uncensored ferocity fans from the past decade have come to expect from the artists, tinged with a humble and unique approach to modern… Read more »
Let’s face it: nostalgia is trendy, which makes this the perfect moment for lolitslea to shine. She’s a pro at enveloping her throwback influences from the 2010s into music for today’s scene. She dubs her special flavor of pop-rock “neon pop punk” as a nod to her predecessors who pioneered the genre, including Hey Monday, Forever The Sickest Kids, Cobra Starship, Metro Station, and more who embraced the poppier side of pop-punk. She is taking her favorite nostalgic elements from these artists and re-writing them into new music that sounds fresh for her fans in 2024. The passion, heart-wrenchingly raw… Read more »

Life can be gone in an instant. I lost… Read more »

Could Bad Omens be up to something? It seems like it after the band shared a short video online. Since the band announced they’d be taking a well-needed break from touring, they’ve been relatively quiet, only posting about upcoming festival appearances and graphics from their latest release. With how busy they’ve been over the past few years, it only makes sense that the group would be ready to reveal something new. A loading bar on loop, the short video is simple yet intriguing. The band has used similar graphics during their concerts between songs and brief intermissions. It leaves people… Read more »
