With the Vans Warped Tour 25th anniversary shows and genre sensation blink–182 touring the 20th anniversary of their “Enema of the state” album a massive pop-punk revival is underway. Blink–182’s new album “NINE” will be out September 20 and after the outstanding reception of “blame it on my youth” one can only imagine the trajectory from there will skyrocket. The tracklist for NINE definitely sounds like it will be a good time at the very least.

Thank you, Tom DeLonge, for naming that thing we all knew existed but didn’t know what to call it. The National Music Lovers Index, you know, that thing where songs are starting to get noticed and played. They start floating around playlists and being shared on social media. Who knows where the songs land on Billboard charts but the music lovers, we’re listening. Tom made up the term in an appreciative post on Instagram where he thanked fans for Angels and Airwaves almost completely sold-out tour.

All of Light Years’ work over the past eight years is about to pay off with the release of Afterlife. It’s the band’s most solid album yet thanks to plenty of time spent poring over lyrics and notes. With the release just a couple months away, they’re eager to share the sound they’ve been working on so they’re giving us a taste with “Burning In My Blood”.
