Marking the beginning of their end, NOFX has dropped a new song and music video for their track, “I’m A Rat.” Taking advantage of Mickey Mouse entering the public domain in 2024, the legendary punk band had “Steamboat Fatty” embrace his kinky side and be incredibly self-indulgent with cheese. (Who of us hasn’t wanted to go ham on some cheese?) “I am a rat/And I don’t wanna hear your sermon/I am a vermin/And I’m always gonna gnaw on things/I know will aggravate you,” Fat Mike sings. Check out the parody music video for “I’m A Rat” below. The song is… Read more »
Richmond, Virginia-based grunge, pop-punk ensemble Telltale is showing off their literary wisdom in an Edgar Allan Poe-inspired track and music video, “EDDY,” via Rude Records. The new single is preceded by the hyperpop-infused “Cardinals” and emo-tinged “Otherside.“ Telltale offers spine-tingling visuals as they recount Poe’s timeless spooky tales in “EDDY.” You can see glimpses of the tell-tale heart, itself. Appropriately, Poe did actually live in Richmond, and a museum for the author is currently located in the Virginia city. Combining gritty modern rock guitar tones with a euphoria-inducing hardcore breakdown, this song has a little bit of everything—especially if you’re… Read more »
