Rising Los Angeles-based alt pop act, TJ Minor has released his third single, “Barely Breathing” today. Last year, he moved to Los Angeles all by himself in search of pursuing his music dream. It didn’t take long for him to settle in, find his people, and find himself as a solo artist. Experimenting with alternative, pop, and rock sounds, he seamlessly blends his influences together. This shines on his new track. “I crashed your car // Lost your phone // Too far gone // Can’t find home // I’m the reason // You’re barely breathing,” he sings in the chorus.… Read more »

Crafted in collaboration with John Feldmann (blink-182, Avril Lavigne, YUNGBLUD) and expertly co-produced by Ryan Linville (Olivia Rodrigo), “Perfect” taps into the quintessential sound we all fell in love with when… Read more »
Sleeping With Sirens are rounding out their ‘Complete Collapse’ era with a bang via their furious new track “Don’t Let The Party Die”.
Today is a big day for Lil Lotus. The pop-punk artist and rapper just announced his sophomore record nosebleeder, which will be released on December 1 via Epitaph Records. Giving fans a taste of what to expect, Lotus just dropped the title track, which grapples with themes of mental health and addiction through a rock-forward arrangement. Combining harsh background screams with driving guitar rhythms, “nosebleeder” is an elevated new take on the artist’s dynamic sound. Produced by pop-punk masters Mike Pepe (Taking Back Sunday, Charlotte Sands) and Matt Malpass (blink-182, nothing, nowhere.), we can expect this second full-length to be… Read more »
