Alkaline Trio finally released their highly-anticipated tenth studio album, Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs today via Rise Records. Featuring singles, “Versions Of You,” “Bad Time,” and the LP’s title track, the record highlights the punk ensemble’s return from a six-year break.

After dropping the song announcement on January 11, Taylor Acorn has officially shared her new single “Gray.” On the heels of her dark, melancholic, yet energetic 2023 single “Basement,” “Gray” sees the singer exploring life when it feels drab and exhausting—a feeling many can relate to. “These persistent little doubts/Chew me up then spit me out/Went by the book but skipped a page,” Acorn sings before ramping up to the supercharged chorus, juxtaposed with sunny, dance-inducing guitar melodies. Listen to the new track below. “I know I say this a lot but I truly mean it when I say one… Read more »

Maggie Lindemann is beginning 2024 with a bang on her new track and accompanying “hostage” music video. Preceded by 2022’s debut LP SUCKERPUNCH and one-off 2023 single “deprecating” with Siiickbrain, a new era is emerging featuring the Dallas singer’s dark and twisted lyrics and imagery. Reminiscent of Flyleaf and Evanescene instrumental tones, Lindemann breathily and mournfully sings, “These thoughts fill my mind/Bring me down one more time/In my head and it drives me crazy/I’m hostage, baby.” Lindemann shares, “‘hostage,’ for me, is like peering through a window into my own mind.

With innovative traits from both artists, the new song joins Butler’s fast-paced delivery and socially aware lyrics with lead singer and producer Rou Reynolds‘s distorted electro mix that’s solidified in unity with equally aggressive vocals from both.
