blink-182’s official website is “closed for maintenance,” and for good reason. While you can still shop their merch and buy tickets to their upcoming shows, you might also run into their site’s stall page, which fans believe is a signifier of new music to come within the month. The stall page shows a video of someone in a yellow HAZMAT suit scrubbing away graffiti on the wall behind urinals. Slowly, but surely, the person wipes away various blink-182 logos, including their old-school bunny character and the iconic smiley face. Additionally, posters from the band’s most recent city stops in Chicago,… Read more »

The Brooklyn-based math rock connoisseur, Jhariah has released their highly-anticipated new song, “RISK, RISK, RISK!” today. Sonically, this track is a HELL of a song.

It is glaringly obvious that they are making a big splash into the alternative rock scene, and this new song cements their place at the table. Alternative rock is a severe understatement though. There is not a box that Jhariah can be put into. They impressively fuse dance-punk,… Read more »

Before his music career even began, he was reaching millions of people as a high schooler on the internet. This is a wonderful thing on paper, but when you peel back the first layer of internet success, it can be pretty dark underneath. He was essentially a child in the… Read more »
