While wrapping up their Eras Tour run with Taylor Swift, Paramore received some cool news. According to ChartMasters, the “Hard Times” band ranks as the 20th most-streamed rock act on Spotify. Speaking on the news, Hayley Williams took to Instagram to post a story. She says, “We are one of only two bands that include women in the Top 20 of all time. Of course I’m beyond honoured, but in my lifetime I hope to see more women, more LGBTQ+, and black/brown talent on this list. Also ‘rock’ is funny… are Paramore a rock band or just not quite 100%… Read more »
twenty one pilots aren’t going to “Backslide” on their new song. The duo has released the third single from their highly anticipated album, Clancy, which drops on May 24, through Fueled By Ramen. Drummer Josh Dun directs the accompanying music video, which features an obvious call back to one of their most popular eras. A mellow beat begins with the track, contrasting frontman Tyler Joseph‘s monotone, almost harsh rapping. The video starts with a shot of a corner store, where Joseph purchases hamburger buns, before hopping on his bike and riding down changing scenes from suburban streets to darkened backgrounds.… Read more »
A new era for Bring Me The Horizon is just around the corner. The band posted a clip on their Instagram yesterday teasing their forthcoming album, POST HUMAN: NeX GEn. Fans can finally let out a sigh of relief after an announcement in August noted a delay in the release. The video posted on their newly-wiped Instagram features a white background with a dark inverted feminine figurehead speaking. “You cling to your virtual identity,” it begins. “As if it was your very soul. Pathetic. All these thoughts, these memories they are but a fleeting echo in an endless void. And… Read more »
Cassadee Pope‘s “Wasting All These Tears” is getting the Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato re-record treatment. The former Hey Monday singer just released “Wasting All These Tears (Cassadee’s Version),” giving a rock rewrite to her 2013 country track. Pope traded in twangy acoustic guitar strums for pulsing drums and basslines, though her voice is just as powerful as ever with awe-inducing belts across both versions. Today, she also released a new music video in tandem with the reinvented solo song. The video sees Pope with strawberry blonde hair, decked out in all black singing in front of a gorgeous moon-beaming… Read more »

The MTV Video Music Awards isn’t just a superficial awards show. It’s an institution that has crafted some of pop culture’s most iconic moments. Frankly, no other awards show has created massive ripples in the cultural zeitgeist such as Miley Cryus’ famous twerking moment and Beyoncé’s baby bump reveal alongside bands such as Alien Ant Farm playing their cover of “Smooth Criminal” or Rage Against The Machine and Limp Bizkit feuding onstage in 2000. However, many viewers equate the MTV VMAs to purely celebrating the efforts of most American Top 40 artists. This could not be further from the truth.… Read more »
Arizona’s premier emo band The Maine are back with a brand-new music video for their track “thoughts i have while lying in bed.” The song comes from their 8123-released LP and self-titled ninth full album. The music video, directed by Nick Stafford, is simple, but positively stunning. The video featuring lead vocalist John O’Callaghan is shot in black and white on a bridge with a cityscape in the background. Seemingly, “thoughts i have while lying in bed” is a one-shot take, which is even more impressive. Check out the full music video below. The earnest indie tune is rich in… Read more »
Are you ready for today’s flush of excitement? Pun intended, of course. The blink-182 guys are back with some potty humor, sharing a website link that leads to “The Stall.” Depicting what appears to be a public restroom decorated with graffiti and the band’s logo, the page reads, “Welcome to the stall, stay tuned for updates.” Fans online assume their favorite three-piece is about to drop some new tunes. Another message highlighted in pink font supports this theory of something big happening on September 5. “Restrooms will be closed for maintenance Tuesday 9/5,” the site reads.
