Pulling inspiration from a wide variety of artists including My Chemical Romance, 100 gecs, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, and even Lil Peep, LA-based Eli Hurts has released his highly-anticipated debut solo album, Ouch. Arriving today via Rude Records, Ouch has been brewing in Hurts since childhood. After releasing his debut EP, Future Accountants of America, Unite in 2020, Hurts set the tone of his forward-motion career through an array of alternative, emo, pop, punk, and a dash or two of synth. The culmination of these musical influences results in a motley of songs that are meant to be played at full

Ahead of their debut album release next month, Sleep Theory has unleashed another pummeling single, “III.” Their full-length, Afterglow, arrives on May 16 via Epitaph Records. “At its core, ‘III’ is about betrayal,” vocalist Cullen Moore shares. “It’s that gut-wrenching feeling when someone you trusted completely lets you down. The song dives into that pain, but it’s also about facing the truth, even when it hurts, and realizing not everyone is who they say they are.” He concludes, “I want people to really think about who they let into their lives. Not everyone deserves your trust, and sometimes, those closest… Read more » Following the release of their STRATO EP and September single “The Devil Of Decisions,” Hands Like Houses has revealed their new track with Normandie, “Hurts Like Hell.” Hands Like Houses shares, “Working with Normandie has been such a special process. We toured with these guys back in 2018 and had endless amounts of fun. We wanted this song to feel like it had equal parts influence of both bands and rather than a feature, for it to feel like a true collaboration of both artists.” They add, “We are stoked with the final product and loved bringing it to life… Read more » New Years Day is beginning their 2024 by sharing their brand-new single, “I Still Believe,” from their upcoming album Half Black Heart. The record is due out March 1 and is currently available for pre-order. Plus, the heavy rockers previously released hard-hitting singles “Secrets,” “Vampyre” and “Hurts Like Hell.” “I Still Believe” is marked by urgent, pulsing instrumentals, soaring vocal runs, and a glowing determination throughout its lyrics.

Vocalist Ash Costello says, “The first song we wrote for our new album was actually ‘I Still Believe.’ It was during the summer of 2020, amidst… Read more » FELICITY dabbles in nu-metal on their new single “Kill ‘Em All,” featuring rap-rockers Discrepancies, and released via Zodhiac Records. The song calls out hypocrisy and deception, which is highlighted in the bridge, “You need to drag us all down/Just to feel worth/But no one ever needed you/the truth hurts.” Opening with distorted vocals and a TV static-esque sound, the track goes straight into heavy rock riffs accompanied by a rap verse. The song runs under three minutes but captures a gritty and raw essence. Stitching together these sounds along with synths to slow it down, before revving up into an… Read more » Quickly following up on her highly-praised third EP, No One Cries Forever, NERIAH has dropped her new single “Even If It Hurts.” The track is the first pulled from her forthcoming 24-track debut album, which is scheduled for release later this year. NERIAH‘s dreamy and airy vocal delivery layered over the track’s upbeat instrumentation creates a dance-in-the-kitchen-under-a-disco-ball vibe that showcases her immense talent as a singer-songwriter. The song’s significance lies in its message of making the difficult decision to leave a relationship that is no longer good for you, prioritizing your own happiness and well-being. The song encapsulates the emerging… Read more » On June 8, 2020 Jonathan Stiffler, husband to Caitlin Stiffler, took to Twitter to post his account of how he had helped a group of women, who had allegedly been sexually assaulted by Austin Carlile formerly of Attack Attack and Of Mice And Men, come forward to tell their experiences to Alternative Press magazine. Basslines and Protest Signs is Brett Callwood’s column looking at the intersection of music and politics. This week shares some artists’ reactions to Trump’s impeachment. Hoteliers, restaurateurs and tourism promoters mourned the loss of the $40 million bonanza that the now-decamped Latin Grammy awards show was expected to bring to the Miami area. But what really has them crying in their Cristal Roederer is the blow to the city’s image. The Latin Grammy organizers said Monday that they were moving the glitzy Sept. 11 award show to Los Angeles because of worries that protests against artists from communist Cuba could threaten the safety of performers and spectators. “The perception of Miami in the international community is greatly damaged by this,” said Leslie Zigel, vice president… Read more »Video
