Alt-rock idols The Used have launched their latest single “Numb” pulled from their tenth forthcoming full-length, Toxic Positivity, set to drop May 19 via Big Noise. Leaning into their knack for honing in on the all-too-relatable, overpowering emotions associated with mental health struggles, The Used’s brand-new track explores the sensation of feeling like a ghost in your own skin when everything around you is too much and not enough all at once. Vocalist Bert McCracken’s piercing shrieks in the track’s recurring line, “Does anybody else feel numb?” is an indication of the recognizable emotions attached to anxiety and depression, and… Read more »

I’m catching up with the band over Zoom, the day before their debut full-length, Past // Present // Future, is set to… Read more »
“I don’t know where you begin but it’s where I wanna end” Is there anything better than a beloved band returning after years away and delivering a no-skip album? I don’t think so—and apparently, Beach Weather agrees. Formed in 2015 and releasing two (excellent) EPs before going on hiatus in 2017, Beach Weather—Nick Santino, Reeve Powers, and Sean Silverman—re-emerged in late 2021 and now they’re officially back with their debut full-length, Pineapple Sunrise. Before we get any further, I have to confess that I’ve been a Nick Santino stan (a Stantino, if you will) since I started listening to his… Read more »
From the moment you’re in Chad Tepper’s presence, you know he lives and breathes gratitude, authenticity, and pop-punk. If there is anyone out there being unapologetically himself, it’s this man.

His music career, the people he surrounds himself with, his life philosophies, and his dreams all flow together.
