In 2015, Frank Zummo joined Sum 41. Since taking over on drums for the storied group, they’ve released two full-length albums and are gearing up to drop their final double album, Heaven :x: Hell, out March 29 via Rise Records. The ending of Sum 41 is a weird thought. Anyone who grew up on pop-punk knows the band’s legendary status, and their active presence will be missed, but I’m excited to see what the guys decide to pursue once their final tour wraps up later this year. Zummo has always been involved in a variety of cool projects that I’ve… Read more »
Alkaline Trio’s tenth studio album, Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs, will be here before we know it—and yes, it is one of our Most Anticipated Albums of 2024! But to hold us over until its arrival on January 26 via Rise Records, the group has launched their final single, “Versions Of You.” The latest track, serving as the third glimpse into the trio’s forthcoming album, takes a distinctive turn from the earlier album releases. In a departure from co-vocalist/guitarist Matt Skiba‘s usual role, co-vocalist and bassist Dan Andriano takes the lead, infusing the catchy track with a distinctive freshness. “Versions Of… Read more »
New Years Day is beginning their 2024 by sharing their brand-new single, “I Still Believe,” from their upcoming album Half Black Heart. The record is due out March 1 and is currently available for pre-order. Plus, the heavy rockers previously released hard-hitting singles “Secrets,” “Vampyre” and “Hurts Like Hell.” “I Still Believe” is marked by urgent, pulsing instrumentals, soaring vocal runs, and a glowing determination throughout its lyrics.

Ahead of the forthcoming release of their 14th LP Saviors, Green Day is sharing one final single today entitled “One Eyed Bastard.” The track is preceded by releases “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” “Look Ma, No Brains!,” and “Dilemma.” Animated by Rob Fidel, the accompanying new visuals perfectly pair with the pure punk riffs, certifiably catchy choruses, and urgent, revenge-centric lyrics. Plus, now that Mickey Mouse is in the public domain, he also made an appearance. Check out the visuals and “One Eyed Bastard” song below. “’One Eyed Bastard’ started off as just a riff that I had —… Read more »
NOAHFINNCE has officially made the first Friday of 2024 one to celebrate with the release of his new single, “3 DAY HEADACHE.” The new track, along with the previously released “GROWING UP ON THE INTERNET,” “I KNOW BETTER,” and “SCUMBAG,” will appear on Noah’s debut album, GROWING UP ON THE INTERNET, due via Hopeless Records on March 8. Contrary to its title, “3 DAY HEADACHE” is far from a pain-inducing listening experience. Noah’s latest single delivers a lively, irresistibly catchy chorus that examines the all-too-relatable feeling of burnout and its endless cycle. The track is an effortless anthem with a… Read more »
To say we’re excited about the highly-anticipated Alkaline Trio album, Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs, the group’s first full-length since 2018’s Is This Thing Cursed?, would be a massive understatement.

The album has already given fans a taste of its brilliance and what to expect from the full collection through the titular track and their latest emotionally charged anthem, “Bad Time.” While we’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new collection,… Read more »
As the release of their third album, How To Disappear, looms, Casey has unleashed the contemplative ballad “Selah.” The aptly titled record marks the group’s full-length return following the announcement of their 2018 disbandment and is set to debut on January 12 via Hassle Records. The group’s latest effort showcases a shift toward a quieter, more introspective tone compared to the album’s previous previews: “Puncture Wounds To Heaven,” “How To Disappear,” and “Bite Through My Tongue.” Rather than having their post-hardcore roots prominently on display, “Selah” flourishes with melancholic percussion, moody guitar melodies, and vocalist Tom Weaver’s reflective delivery. At… Read more »

Green Day‘s music has always been rooted in politics. Take any of their singles as an example of this, especially when it comes to the likes of “Holiday” and “21 Guns,” which tackle the overall themes of war and American imperialism. In a recent Guardian interview, Green Day had the chance to expand upon the current political issues that are at the forefront of their minds and their music. With the release of their single “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” Billie Joe Armstrong sings, “The American Dream is killing me/When it’s all double-talk of conspiracy.” Conspiracy theories are actually… Read more »
