It seems like love is in the air for alternative musicians all across the country. In early September, Meet Me @ The Altar guitarist Téa Campbell announced that her long-term partner said “Yes!” when she popped the question. Now, fans of The Summer Set also have something to celebrate, too, as vocalist Brian Logan Dales just announced his engagement. Logan Dales proposed to his long-term girlfriend, actress Briana Cuoco, on September 12, surrounded by loved ones, including the couple’s dog Joni. In an Instagram story, Logan Dales shared, “Joni got spooked by the confetti poppers, but it was worth it… Read more »
The Brooklyn-based indie artist, PRONOUN has made her return with a brand new single, “SLAP ME IN THE FACE” today.

The EP boasted popular indie-pop tracks like “I’M RIGHT BACK IN IT” and “I WANNA DIE BUT I CAN’T (CUZ I GOTTA KEEP LIVING).” This new song has everything we love from PRONOUN. “SLAP ME IN THE FACE”… Read more »
Country singer Jason Aldean barely concealed his bigotry with the “Try That In A Small Town” single. It’s reassuring to know that these violently evil views are not the norm. Not in music, not in country music, not anywhere.
Since October 2022, when blink-182 released their first new music, “Edging,” featuring the return of Tom DeLonge, anticipation has kept us on the edge of our seats with bated breath, waiting eagerly for more music from the trio. Initially, all indications pointed toward a possible new single release in June 2023; however, that time has come and gone without any fresh music from the group. Earlier this year, Travis Barker seemingly confirmed the forthcoming arrival of blink-182‘s upcoming album. In an April Twitter post, he shared, “Album will be finished before we leave for tour.” The tour commenced on May… Read more »
As Paramore is nearing the end of their North American run of the This Is Why Tour, the trio paved their way through a 21-song setlist last night in San Francisco at the Chase Center. In a brilliant fusion of sports and music, vocalist Hayley Williams invited Golden State Warriors’ point guard, Steph Curry, to the stage for an electrifyingly special performance. The crowd was left awe-struck as Curry, known for his prowess on the court and for his remarkable three-point shots, joined Paramore on stage for an unforgettable rendition of “Misery Business.” Read more: The Maine Celebrate “Sweet 16”… Read more »
Just ahead of the release of their seventh studio album Hard Reset, The Word Alive frontman Telle Smith stopped by the idobi Studios in North Hollywood and told me why the latest era of the band truly is a… hard reset. From a recent lineup change to signing with Thriller Records—a new label created by Fearless Records founder Bob Becker—Hard Reset is inspired by self-reflection in a shut down world, a fresh start within the band’s camp, and a new perspective for Smith following a healthy break-up. The Word Alive have taken their years of experience within the… Read more »
Yellowcard celebrated the 20th anniversary of their iconic album Ocean Avenue with a sold out show at New York’s Pier 17, and it was life-affirming, emotional and so wonderful.
Emo kings, Taking Back Sunday have returned today to give us a brand new single, “The One”. We are thrilled, obviously. The devastating and emotional track shows the band tugging at our heartstring, as well as their own. This new song comes after a batch of newer tracks included on their 20th anniversary reissue of Tell All Your Friends, titled Twenty. Before that, the band hasn’t released new music since their 2016 album, Tidal Wave. Does this mean we will be getting a new full-length soon? We sure as hell hope so. Speaking on the new song, the band shared:… Read more »
The perfect concept record is hard to find. It should tell a story, take listeners to a new and exciting world, and remain authentic to the band’s sound and identity. With so many boxes to check off, many acts shy away from this kind of release. But today, Nothing But Thieves proves how magical concept records can be when done right. Dead Club City, the band’s fourth LP, takes listeners on a journey to a dystopian, members-only community. The setting itself is a metaphor for the potential future of society: a warning, almost, envisioning the chaos and turmoil that will… Read more »

The song comes from their newest trilogy album ATUM, that dropped in May of this year. The Smashing Pumpkins explore a fantasy universe filled with space themes and bizarre imagery within the video. It visually feels extremely in line with something you would have seen on MTV in the mid to late nineties. Director, Kevin Kerslake shares on the visual: “We adopted a virtual production model for the Spellbinding video, creating it entirely in the gaming engine; unreal, with digital… Read more »
