Angel Du$t have returned with their first releases of 2023—the double-singles “Very Aggressive” featuring Citizen’s Mat Kerekes and “Love Slam.” “Very Aggressive” is a high-energy, true-to-form punk rock track reminiscent of classic 70s-style punk. The single starts with a chaotic, driving drum beat and catchy guitar riff all anchored by frontman Justice Tripp’s dynamic vocal delivery. Mat Kerekes’ guest vocals throughout the infectious chorus offer a unique dimension to the song, allowing the track to stand out amongst Angel Du$t’s extensive discography. Check out the accompanying music video for “Very Aggressive” below. Read more: Teen Suicide Announce Summer Tour With… Read more »
Beloved emo rock icons Say Anything emerged from hiatus last Friday for their first show in nearly five years. Frontman Max Bemis and the refreshed lineup dug in for a sold-out, four night run at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom with a line of fans camped out in the rain on Delancey Street waiting for doors to open. Anticipation was high, driven by the release of “Psyche!” earlier in the day, the band’s first new music since their no longer 2019 farewell album, Oliver Appropriate. Say Anything has always featured a revolving door of musicians surrounding founding members Max Bemis… Read more »
Having made a name for herself in punk rock with her group The Bombpops, and touring alongside genre titans such as Descendents, Bad Religion, and Against Me!, vocalist/guitarist Jen Razavi (Jen Pop) has launched her debut solo track, “Saw In Half.” The Will Yip-produced (Circa Survive, Turnstile, La Dispute) single is hauntingly, atmospheric showcasing Razavi’s tenderness and vulnerability. Where there were once fast, driving rhythms, distorted guitar riffs, and melodic hooks, Razavi has traded in for a more stripped-back, delicate approach. Detailing a failed relationship that’s left the narrator feeling broken and alone, “Saw In Half” is an introspective and… Read more »

Say Anything are back together and have released a brand new track, “Psyche!” Today. They are a band that have always done things differently than everyone else. They stuck out like a sore thumb in the scene since their inception in a beautifully unique and transparently broken way. Max Bemis is a genius to say the least and you won’t find another project quite like his. Hell, their first full-length album, …Is A Real Boy, was intended to be a performative musical that transformed into a two-part melodic odyssey. With spoken word interludes, triumphant and drastic sonic changes within each… Read more »
Kelly Clarkson, the multi-talented singer, and host of The Kelly Clarkson Show, has performed a heart-wrenching rendition of Paramore’s 2009 single “The Only Exception.” Clarkson’s powerful performance on her morning segment, Kellyoke, offered a stripped-back cover of the hit single accompanied by Jaco Caraco’s delicate, acoustic strumming to create an intimate and captivating soundscape. Clarkson’s interpretation of the 2009 release demonstrated her ability to capture the essence of the song’s original format while adding her own unique twist. Her vulnerable delivery conveyed the song’s message of heartache and hope, much like Hayley Williams’ original vocal performance. Read more: Indie-Pop Band… Read more »

Following the release of “Weightless” and “Impurities,” pulled from her forthcoming sophomore album, My Soft Machine, Arlo Parks has delivered a third preview of her full-length with the release of “Blades.” “Paul [Epworth] is just a wizard; he has this childlike spirit that I’ve always really loved and he brought that to ‘Blades,’” Parks shares. “I wanted to make something that I can dance to, finally, because I feel like my songs don’t really have that quality in general. So, I took inspiration from bands like ESG, artists like Kaytranada, and a lot of the kind of ’70s Zambian psychedelic… Read more »
