Rain City Drive has reimagined their latest single, “Frozen,” via Thriller Records. The alt-hardcore act originally released the single in September but has given it an almost holiday-edge decoration to it. The first version was featured on Apple Music’s Breaking Hard Rock playlist. Reworking songs isn’t new; however, the band incorporated post-hardcore sounds with poppy beats and melodies in “Frozen (Reimagined)” while sprinkling in some holiday belles, which helps in slowing down the quicker pacing of the original. With softer vocals as well, the song sounds like it could be in an alt-rock version of a Hallmark or Lifetime holiday… Read more »

Let’s kick off with Donald Trump’s legal tango in Colorado, where he dances away with a court win. It’s like watching a reality show, but the stakes are actual democracy, and the drama is disappointingly real. Moving on to the Capitol, where Congress miraculously avoided a government shutdown. It’s like watching a group of toddlers successfully bake a cake – messy, surprising, and you’re just relieved the house didn’t burn down. And then, there’s Joe Biden, hitting 81. In the White House, that’s less ‘elder statesman’ and more ‘antique with experience’. It’s like your grandfather running a marathon – impressive,… Read more »
In 2020, Issues released their former vocalist (whom we have decided not to name as to avoid giving him more attention) from his position with the band following a series of allegations that included sexual misconduct, grooming, etc. At the time of his release, the three remaining members, Adrian “AJ” Rebollo, Skyler Acord, and Josh Manuel, issued a joint statement that read, “Recently we have become aware of allegations against [REDACTED NAME], of grooming and sexual misconduct. We, Josh, Sky, and AJ, will no longer be working with [REDACTED]. We believe survivors.” After several years of silence following these allegations,… Read more »

Los Angeles-based rocker on the rise MOTHICA is back with a new collaboration sure to supercharge your weekend. Teaming up with Sophie Powers, the two released the new single “Sirens.” “I wrote ‘Sirens’ about having feelings for someone who is a walking red flag,” MOTHICA shares. “The type of toxic person you should avoid, but the tantalizing allure of ignoring your intuition about someone.” The bouncy basslines and tempting background vocals complement MOTHICA and Powers’ storytelling. The track begins with a feeling many know all too well when the brain and heart don’t get along. “Cutting ties with the angel… Read more »

Donald Trump is just one man. His legal woes are many and varied, including federal, state and civil. He should be screwed. Time will tell.
Sitting here in July, it’s important to reflect on the fact that Pride Month is now behind us, but the work that’s necessary is anything but. The reality is that Pride, AAPI Month, Black History Month, and Women’s History Month are useful in that they amplify issues for those that need them amplified. But if you’re a part of one or more of those communities, or if you’re a true ally, then every month is Pride, AAPI, Black History, and Women’s History. This writer chatted with Tegan and Sara a couple of weeks ago, and they were highlighting the importance… Read more »
