blink-182 is still keeping us on our toes and dropping new surprises for fans following the October release of their ninth studio album ONE MORE TIME…. Today, the trio shared a new live music video for the track “ANTHEM PART 3.” If you remember blink’s Denny’s meme moment, they played this song for a crowd at the diner, as well.

Realizing that getting older hits hard sometimes, Garzi and Memphis May Fire‘s Matty Mullins get it. Garzi’s new single “GrowingUp” features the Mullins to create an ode to the craziness of maturing while still trying to hold onto adolescence. In tandem, Garzi announced that he has signed to Sumerian Records. The genre-blending artist says the song “is the coming-of-age youth anthem representing the anxiety around responsibility and the inevitable loss of innocence. It touches on the battle of the human mind and human experience while fighting to never let go of nostalgic experiences and values. I know growing up is… Read more »
Halloween is basically emo kid Christmas. It’s the season of the year where you can don silver chains and skull jewelry, create fake blood makeup, decorate your house with every single Jack Skellington item in existence, and more, without any questions from the normies of the world. Additionally, it’s the time when celebs such as Heidi Klum use their wealth for good and make elaborate, cool costumes such as this year’s peacock offering featuring 10 Cirque Du Soleil performers as her feathers. Shaquille O’Neal also had a standout costume, wearing a black wig with swoopy bangs and lip ring to… Read more »

If you’re not scream-singing all of the lyrics to The Veronicas’ new single “Perfect” this weekend at When We Were Young Fest, then you clearly missed the memo. Marking their first new music as a duo since 2021’s double-album release, “Perfect” emerges as a quintessential alt-pop/emo anthem that instantly reminds you of why you fell in love with the Aussie twins when they released their 2017 hit single, “Untouched.” With John Feldmann from Big Noise at the helm and fueled by the explosive drumming prowess of blink-182’s Travis Barker, “Perfect” lives up to its name in every sense of the… Read more »
Everyone has that one song they hope to hear from their favorite band at a live show. Sometimes we get lucky and our favorite track is one of their hits, other times our favorite track isn’t as popular. Perhaps a b-side that rarely gets any love on the stage or a tune from an older album that hasn’t seen a spot in the setlist in years. A festival with a line-up as stacked as When We Were Young, there is potential for a load of surprises. Bands and artists tend to get a little weird as festivals. We crafted a… Read more »
