After releasing “your name forever,” a heartfelt tribute to the late Luke “The Dingo” Trembath, mgk (formerly Machine Gun Kelly) returns with “cliché” — a sharp pivot into a much more pop-leaning sound with a rock undercurrent. The track trades the grit of his earlier pop-punk output for polished hooks over a driving beat, signaling a new sonic direction rooted more in melody than distortion. Don’t even get me STARTED on how deeply that chorus has already burrowed into my head. Ahead of its official release, “cliché” made headlines when mgk was seen driving through Hollywood with the unreleased song… Read more »
Honey Revenge has officially entered a bold new hair-a, err, era wink wink. Dropping today alongside the kickoff of their headline run on The Loving And Losing Tour, their latest single “Risk” signals a fresh chapter for the duo. Fans first got a taste of the track during their April 13 set in Australia, where it made its surprise live debut. “Risk is our fuck around and find out moment,” vocalist Devin Papadol shares. “We’re trying to take chances in this next phase as a band. The entire premise of the song is without discomfort there is no growth, and… Read more »
House Of Protection, aka Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, dazzled new fans with their debut EP GALORE in September 2024, and they’re finally ready to show off their sophomore EP Outrun You All.

There are few, if any other, alternative acts who are putting so much time and care into creating a live show that kindles a fire (no pun intended) in each of their listeners. On their seven-track Outrun You All, House… Read more »

Good Terms have released their new song, “Progress,” preceded by their 2025 cover of “Call Me” by Blondie and 2024 LP Burnout. Uniquely, the song is partly inspired by frontman Brian McShea and his fiancée Stephanie Raynor, who, unfortunately, lost their home in the devastating California wildfires earlier this year—but they did find their engagement ring! A recent press release notes that “the outpouring of love and support reminded the couple and their extended Good Terms family of the importance of community.” Of “Progress,” the band shared on social media, “Sometimes I feel so close to the edge of failure… Read more »
Spanish Love Songs has revealed the acoustic version of “Pendulum” from their No Joy Sessions. The acoustic album reinvents tracks from 2023’s No Joy LP, adding new depth to the beloved songs. Lead vocalist Dylan Slocum notes, “This version of ‘Pendulum’ is a bit closer to the original song we scrapped in the studio — upbeat and driving. Speeding it up always changed how I would read or react to the lyrics. It softens them a bit, and I think it is why we ultimately slowed it down for the album. But I always loved both, so it’s nice to… Read more »
