MOD SUN‘s latest single, “Strangers,” is a deeply personal and emotionally charged track that explores the aftermath of his breakup with his former fiancee, Avril Lavigne. Released following their separation in February as MOD kicked off his massive God Save The Teen Tour, the song serves as a poignant reflection on the complexities of love, loss, and loyalty. What makes “Strangers” even more heartbreaking is the fact that the accompanying music video was filmed in Paris, the very city where MOD SUN proposed to Lavigne in March 2022 before their split. The video for “Strangers” beautifully captures the bittersweet essence… Read more »

The pop-rock quartet is back with another smash. NOT.MY.WEEKEND’s latest single “SHUT.UP” is an angst-driven track about the difficulty of biting your tongue in certain situations.

There are hints of the Jonas Brothers’ vocal melodies, mixed with the guitar tones and heavy-hitting drum fills of early Fall Out Boy and All-American Rejects. It is a compelling combination that… Read more »

As the momentum continues to build for twentylove following the release of their highly acclaimed debut album, pressure in my head again, earlier this year, the talented trio’s vocalist, Dan Burke, made a special appearance at the idobi Studios in North Hollywood.

With the same ethereal and captivating energy that Burke showcased in his previous stripped-back performance of “getting used to this,” this acoustic rendition of “flights” reaches new heights. Burke’s effortlessly powerful vocals intertwine with delicate guitar… Read more »
