After celebrating their 2023 return EP Childhood Eyes with a Good Morning America performance of “The Places We’ll Go” alongside songstress Cassadee Pope earlier this week, Yellowcard is celebrating their legacy with a collaborative album with Hammock titled A Hopeful Sign. Marking the announcement of the collaborative release, which is set to arrive on February 9 via Equal Vision Records, Yellowcard has issued a freshly spun rendition of the group’s smash hit single, “Ocean Avenue.” In contrast to the energetic and fast-paced urgency of the original release, the collaborative version presents a more tranquil and dreamy ambiance brought to life… Read more »
Launching into the new year with a potential contender for the ultimate breakup anthem of 2024, LØLØ unveils her latest offering, the fierce and unapologetic “2 of us.” The song, which follows her December release “*snow in berlin*,” draws inspiration from LØLØ‘s own journey of emancipating herself from a past partner whose presence only added toxicity to her life. Navigating the emotional spectrum from the revelation of “still texting your ex” to the vulnerable act of drunk-dialing “7 times,” “2 of us” ignites with a fervent energy. LØLØ‘s dynamic blend of pop sensibility and powerful vocal delivery complements the track,… Read more »
Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties are back, and they’re asking that “In Lieu Of Flowers,” you listen to their new single.

The title track is heart-wrenching and gives a pit-in-your-stomach feeling of regret and mourning. The horns section welcomes the incoming melancholy of the lyrics, it gives listeners a replication of sending someone off for their last fight in battle.… Read more »
Dallon Weekes is dancing into the new year with I Don’t Know How But They Found Me’s latest single, “Infatuation.” This comes ahead of their upcoming sophomore album, GLOOM DIVISION, which is set to release on February 23 via Concord Records. The companion video for the new iDKHOW track exudes a creepy, mirror-house vibe that elevates the initial lyrics to create an eerie, devotional message. A boppy introduction to the song draws a parallel to a nostalgic reminiscence of the 2010s indie-sleaze sound that has been on the comeback. The opening lyrics, “I need you now/But it’s infatuation/Love is my… Read more »
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 »

Have Mercy may have released a self-titled EP last year, but with the release of their Rude Records debut full-length album, NUMB, the trio is officially back. In 2019, the announcement of Have Mercy‘s farewell tour initially felt like the closing chapter of an era—a victorious lap coming to a poignant conclusion. This emotional goodbye was only worsened and cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. These unforeseen setbacks added an extra layer of emotion to what was already a deeply sentimental farewell, leaving fans grappling with uncertainty about the band’s future and the possibility of bidding them a proper goodbye.… Read more »
