Zoe Ko, the New York City native and recent Big Loud Rock signee, is back with “EAT,” a follow-up A-Side to her March-released track “DIRT.” Having written the recent releases with Jonny Shorr after moving from New York City to Los Angeles, the artist says, “It was a culture shock to say the least. I missed my best friends and our crazy nights out, and the shameless confidence the city infused into me.” She continues, “My friends and I would always use some variation of the word ‘eat’ as slang. Like after a wild girls’ night out we might say,… Read more »

SeeYouSpaceCowboy fans, the big day has finally arrived. The band’s 12-track Coup De Grâce is here in all its glory via Pure Noise Records. The San Diego hardcore act also dropped a new music video for “Lubricant Like Kerosene” featuring Kim Dracula. The dark, sexy video is unrelenting in its instrumentals and fearless with its hard-hitting, fiery (no pun intended) vocals—an instant classic. Frontwoman Connie Sgarbossa says of the record, “This album was a chance for us to refine some of the melodic elements we had recently introduced to the band while also playing around with all things and bringing… Read more »
Phoenix, Arizona’s shoegaze artists Glixen have just wrapped up various tour dates with Softcult, Glitterer, and fish narc, and they are back with a new heavy-hitting single, “lust.” Previously, the band released track, “foreversoon” highlighting the glow of new love. Conversely, “lust” explores new infatuation, a more superficial connection with a new person. The new track is wrapped in face-melting, fuzzy guitar riffs, which craft an awe-inspiring juxtaposition with ethereal vocals. Check out “lust” below. Lead vocalist Aislinn Ritchie says, “‘lust’ is about the yearning and wanting of somebody and the rush that that person makes you feel. It is a feeling… Read more »
Coffin Crew the latest devotion ceremony is officially in session as The Funeral Portrait taps The Used’s frontman, Bert McCracken, on their brand-new release, “You’re So Ugly When You Cry.” The hymn is a sultry display of devotion that draws from the band and McCracken’s shared flair for the dramatics. Cue a signature maniacal laugh courtesy of McCracken. Of the theme of “You’re So Ugly When You Cry,” frontman Lee Jennings explains, “It’s not about healing or the come-up later on, it’s about telling people ‘it sucks right now, I don’t like who I am when I’m like this, and… Read more »

A new era of Memphis May Fire is upon us. The band unleashed their brand-new single and accompanying music for “Chaotic.” This marks their first release since 2023’s collab with GARZI, “GrowingUp.” and “Misery” featuring Atreyu. “‘Chaotic’ embodies the visceral urge to stir chaos in our lives as a desperate attempt to drown out the pain of reality,” frontman Matty Mullins explains. “I think I crave chaotic/I don’t taste the pain when I stay neurotic/So why would I want to change,” sings Mullins over trashing guitar tones and ahead of guttural, hard-hitting breakdown. Check out the “Chaotic” music video below.… Read more »
