Today, the band have shared the third single from the upcoming album, “Kill“. Trophy Eyes kick off the song with a driving companionship between just drums and bass before the droning vocals join in. The verses feel a bit more reserved, saving space for the eruption that comes when the… Read more »
Trophy Eyes have announced the release of their newest album Suicide and Sunshine out June 23rd. The band took to socials to make this announcement today, telling fans they can also stream a brand new song “What Hurts The Most” in preparation for the new record. The band has coined their music as “sad songs disguised as happy songs” and that testament is true for the new release. It’s an upbeat and groovy track that feels like skipping school and going to the beach with your friends. However, the lyrical content of the song tells a different story. With words… Read more »

Today is a big day for Lil Lotus. The pop-punk artist and rapper just announced his sophomore record nosebleeder, which will be released on December 1 via Epitaph Records. Giving fans a taste of what to expect, Lotus just dropped the title track, which grapples with themes of mental health and addiction through a rock-forward arrangement. Combining harsh background screams with driving guitar rhythms, “nosebleeder” is an elevated new take on the artist’s dynamic sound. Produced by pop-punk masters Mike Pepe (Taking Back Sunday, Charlotte Sands) and Matt Malpass (blink-182, nothing, nowhere.), we can expect this second full-length to be… Read more »

This writer chatted with Tegan and Sara a couple of weeks ago, and they were highlighting the importance… Read more »
