Orange County’s own melodic metalcore quartet, Dayseeker, just launched a brand-new music video for their track “Dreamstate.” The song comes from their 2022 LP Dark Sun, which featured fellow singles “Without Me” and “Crying While You’re Dancing.” The gray-hued, garage-themed music video follows a deeply personal struggle with grief for vocalist Rory Rodriguez. “Your soul departed, the sky turned blue/But when I’m sleeping, I talk with you,” he sings mournfully over equally bittersweet guitar rhythms. Check out the new video below. “‘Dreamstate’ is about vivid dreams I had of my father after he passed,” shares Rodriguez. “There were truly times it… Read more »
Hey, Footballhead! The Chicago alt-rock band, which includes The Academy Is…’s Adam Siska and suburban indie rockstar, Snow Ellet dropped their single “Like A Blister.” The track comes from their upcoming debut album, Overthinking Everything, which arrives on March 1 via Tiny Engines.

The opening guitar riff is reminiscent of alt-radio faves Everclear and Gin Blossoms. It… Read more »

Anyone who grew up on pop-punk knows the band’s legendary status, and their active presence will be missed, but I’m excited to see what the guys decide to pursue once their final tour wraps up later this year. Zummo has always been involved in a variety of cool projects that I’ve… Read more »
