Say Anything is a band that you can’t appropriately compare to any other band. Perhaps you could attempt to use metrics like ticket sales or song charting, but certainly not in any tangible sense of emotion, delivery, or downright weirdness. Say Anything kicked the doors down when they entered the scene with a huge “Fuck You” to any preconceived notion of what a “punk” or “emo” band should be. They didn’t give a shit about being a cog in the music industry machine—in fact, they were pretty loud about their despise for it. They wanted to share their passion for… Read more »
Following the release of their irresistibly catchy new single “Addicted” earlier this year, Loveless has returned with their latest offering: a deeply personal and inspiring new single, “I Love It When It Rains.” “I wrote this song when my mother was sick and fighting hard,” frontman Julian Comeau candidly shares. “She had been released from and suddenly re-admitted to the hospital the day we had the session. I was terrified. I didn’t know what would happen next, but I knew I was going to be there for her no matter what. She is my biggest supporter and championed me through… Read more »
Sometimes you just need to be straightforward. That’s exactly what Can’t Swim accomplishes across their new song, “No Backbone.” The track taps into a quick-paced pop-punk sound while still holding onto the New Jersey acts post-hardcore instrumentation.

A new era of Memphis May Fire is upon us. The band unleashed their brand-new single and accompanying music for “Chaotic.” This marks their first release since 2023’s collab with GARZI, “GrowingUp.” and “Misery” featuring Atreyu. “‘Chaotic’ embodies the visceral urge to stir chaos in our lives as a desperate attempt to drown out the pain of reality,” frontman Matty Mullins explains. “I think I crave chaotic/I don’t taste the pain when I stay neurotic/So why would I want to change,” sings Mullins over trashing guitar tones and ahead of guttural, hard-hitting breakdown. Check out the “Chaotic” music video below.… Read more »
