The alternative Australian music collab of your dreams is here. Stand Atlantic teamed up with Polaris to fuse metalcore and pop-punk in their new single “CRIMINAL” with a corresponding music video. The track is set to appear on Stand Atlantic‘s forthcoming record WAS HERE, due out August 23 via Hopeless Records. “’CRIMINAL’ is a small insight into how it can feel to be in this industry. It sometimes feels like you gotta keep your life a certain level of fucked up so you can make art that comes from a real place,” Stand Atlantic vocalist Bonnie Fraser says. “I found… Read more »
Time to get hyped because Defences is here with a new single, “The Almost.” The track is a reminder to stop comparing yourself to others and start living. In this genre-defying alt-metal release, the group attacks the idea of comparison and feeling stuck. Simple yet effective, the video sees vocalists Cherry Duesbury and William Young trading time in the hot seat as the lyrics address the viewer on screen. The band comments, “Our version of this place, ‘The Almost,’ is a sort of limbo. It serves as an allegory for these comparisons, trapping us and getting in the way of… Read more »
Ahead of the massive Out Of Office Tour—beginning today, June 20—singer/songwriter Andrew McMahon is back with his first new track of 2024, “Death Grip” via Big Loud Rock. This collab of his two projects Something Corporate and Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness is an optimistic, breezy summer pop anthem every workaholic and/or control-lover needs to hear. McMahon says of the new track, “I honestly didn’t expect to be releasing new music this year. I’ve lived on the write, record, release, tour hamster wheel for a long time and decided after the last album I would do things differently. Giving myself… Read more »

Following the release of their chaotic single “Stickers Of Brian,” which arrived via Wax Bodega Records earlier this year, Hot Mulligan has issued their latest offering, “End Eric Sparrow And The Life Of Him,” along with an accompanying music video. Clocking in at just shy of 3 minutes, “End Eric Sparrow And The Life Of Him” shares the intensity and brevity of “Stickers Of Brian.” The track’s foundation opens with a groovy guitar riff that sets the stage for the building frustration conveyed through both the vocal delivery and the increasingly urgent instrumentation. As the song progresses, the layered vocals… Read more »
With anticipation mounting for the release of their pending full-length album, analysis paralysis, which is slated to arrive on August 9 via Pure Noise Records, Four Year Strong has unleashed their latest offering, “aftermath/afterthought.” The track stands out across the album with its chugging riffs and a strong infusion of industrial metal, making it a highlight among the group’s currently released singles pulled from the collection. Compact into a quick 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the outro breakdown showcases the peak of the instrumentation and production, taking a front seat. Check out “aftermath/afterthought” below. Four Year Strong are currently on… Read more »
Despite all the territory they’ve covered in their near-thirty tenure, AFI retains an impressively conspicuous identity. It’s the Tim Burton condition in which, despite rejecting the confines of any categorical genre with each new release, they have an innate flair that renders them instantly recognizable. But that’s not to say that they exist outside the realm of reasonable comparison. We scoured the alternative underground to prove that point. And while we can’t promise the recreation of that first magical moment you first heard Sing The Sorrow, we did pluck a handful of new music recommendations from the AFI ethos. Representing… Read more »
