Let’s kick off with Donald Trump’s legal tango in Colorado, where he dances away with a court win. It’s like watching a reality show, but the stakes are actual democracy, and the drama is disappointingly real. Moving on to the Capitol, where Congress miraculously avoided a government shutdown. It’s like watching a group of toddlers successfully bake a cake – messy, surprising, and you’re just relieved the house didn’t burn down. And then, there’s Joe Biden, hitting 81. In the White House, that’s less ‘elder statesman’ and more ‘antique with experience’. It’s like your grandfather running a marathon – impressive,… Read more »
This weekend, Green Day played the greatest halftime show of the year, and no, it wasn’t at an American football game. The “Basket Case” artists headed to Hamilton, Ontario to play during the Canadian Football League (CFL) championship game, otherwise known as the Grey Cup. As the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes took a quick break from the game, Green Day took to the stage to play hits new and old for the football fans. They kicked off their four-song set with new single “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” followed by “Basket Case,” “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams,” and… Read more »
After releasing their second collaborative track “Happier,” YUNGBLUD and Bring Me The Horizon‘s Oli Sykes shared the song’s official music video. The hyper-pop anthem perfectly combines the two artists’ goth, emo vocals with high-energy beats and synths, offering a refreshing twist for fans. “If I could tell you how I feel/I know that you’re still hurting too/No I’m not broken/I’m just scared to belong here/Scared to be happier,” the two urgently sing on the chorus. Check out the full video for “Happier” below. Filmed in Tokyo, the video sees Sykes and YUNGBLUD exploring the Japanese nightlife scene. From taking cute… Read more »
When We Were Young Fest was packed with incredible acts this year, both legendary and brand new. However, there was one band that I was most excited to see, hands down. Say Anything has been a staple band in my life since I was 15 years old. I met my now wife when I was a sophomore in High School. Say Anything was one of the first things we bonded over. As two queer kids growing up in the South, their song “A Walk Through Hell” was an unconventional, yet perfect description our our love and perseverance for each other.… Read more »
It’s that time of year when we all look back on the albums that served as the soundtrack to the last 12 months.

We simply weren’t capable of ranking these albums. Instead, we chose to give them all equal praise and list them based on the release date. Additionally, this list does not include EPs or reimagined albums (those… Read more »

Better Lovers‘ discography just got a little bit longer with the addition of the new single “Two Alive Amongst The Dead,” which is a fitting birthday gift for guitarist Jordan Buckley. “Two Alive Amongst The Dead” sees lead singer Greg Puciato (ex-Dillinger Escape Plan) urgently screaming, “Shame they’ll never feel/Any inkling of remorse/Fixate envious/I would try to help them but I know better/They’re not my cause.” Juxtaposed with mind-bending, catchy riffs, the single leaves listeners and metalcore lovers hungry for more.

Indie-rock group, Mom Jeans has surprised us all today by dropping a new album, Bear Market. Technically the songs aren’t new, but the sound and execution is entirely fresh. Bear Market consists of sixteen popular Mom Jeans tracks completely re-imagined and re-worked into beautiful, new versions. The band has even given each track a different name, while still paying tribute to the original title. For example, “Edward 40Hands” is now just “40 hands“, “Death Cup” is now “death by cup“, and “What’s Up?” is now “wassup 😉.” We love the clever approach – recognizable but easily differentiated. “We had all… Read more »
