Young Culture is back with the bop of the fall! Joining forces with their friends and fellow New York natives, Daisy Grenade, the pop-rock band is celebrating the release of their new single, “Jesus,” today. The song tells the story of a toxic relationship that is too addictive to leave. It’s the kind of situation you know is terrible for you, but the push and pull of passion makes you stay. Lyrics like, “Why do I get high when you keep taking me low?” are balanced by the track’s driving guitars that immerse the listener into a full-on house party… Read more »
We all love a powerful frontwoman, and Against The Current’s Chrissy Costanza fits the bill. The band’s new single “silent stranger” introduces fans to their “nightmare era,” which is chock-full of black and white imagery and a dark-pop edge that elevates their classic sound. It’s all about shedding the persona they’ve created for themselves and the challenges of reclaiming their authentic identity. There comes a point when the reflection in the mirror looks like a complete stranger, which Costanza sings in the lyrics, “I know all the lies/I brought to life/Now I don’t know how to be someone real/Hate that… Read more »
As per usual, The Maine has been more than generous to fans, offering amazing collabs, dropping an incredible ninth record, and sharing new acoustic renditions of their singles. After teasing a snippet of the track earlier this week, the group finally shared a stripped-down version of the dance-inducing, pop-laced banger “blame,” resulting in a haunting, heartfelt performance. Frontman John O’Callaghan’s vocals absolutely shine on this somber rendition, departing from the glitzy disco aesthetics and sounds of its original counterpart. Frankly, be prepared to sob. Listen to The Maine’s acoustic reinterpretation of “blame” below. In a recent Instagram clip, listeners can… Read more »
It was never a phase. However, which phase are we talking about exactly? Truth be told, the evolution of the emo style had many, many phases. We know we were never the jocks, the preps, or the bookworms. But we certainly had something going on, and it was developing alongside the bands we loved. Sometimes we were in all black, and surprisingly, sometimes, we were in pink and yellow. Beanies may have been really tiny, and other times very baggy and oversized. Emo fashion means something different for everyone. We thought it would be fun to rank the different ways… Read more »
Hot and fresh breakout stars of the Los Angeles underground rock scene, 20K Rio has released their debut single, “tightrope” today. The duo is made up of singer/guitarist Tommy Lloyd (left) and drummer Luke Curo (right). The pair were formally the remaining members of the bubblegum pop-punk outfit, Lip Candy, a band that had started gaining some serious traction in SoCal. However, the two rockers came to a point where they needed to take things in a different direction. Having grown a dedicated fanbase across TikTok, Instagram, and the local LA scene, they are starting out in a strong place… Read more »
Childhood friends Max Rafter and Sam Huntington are the masterminds behind the avant-pop duo, Crooks & Nannies. The group have announced their new album Real Life due out August 25th and shared a brand new track, “Temper” today. Musically the duo slams against the contours of modern emo & 90s college rock. They toy with tropes of country songwriting while threading through elements of electronic music & alt-pop. The new track nods to the feeling you may get from listening to the Juno soundtrack, that comfortable and twangy essence of whimsical folk rock. Vocalist and guitarist Max Rafter shares on… Read more »
