In a since-deleted Instagram Story post by a close friend of the band under the handle, @bigwormser, a seemingly harmless photo that could mean absolutely nothing has set the devoted fandom abuzz. The photo in question, which… Read more »
The horror genre has certainly made a mainstream comeback in recent years with the box office success of films like Hereditary, Nope, A Quiet Place, and M3GAN.

In the last five years or so, we have seen many new films hit theatres that are extremely unique and break through the mold of common horror expectations like Barbarian or X. We have also seen a… Read more »

When the teaser video initially made its rounds on the band’s social media, fans were dismayed, overall rejecting the notion that AI art is ethical and/or worthwhile. In response to the backlash, L.S.… Read more »

While the technical term for it is called “grief,” it is a far more complex emotion and process than these five letters make it out to be. Alt-pop songstress Lauran Hibberd does her best to bluntly explain the stages of grief in her grunge-infused new single, “I suck at grieving.” Writing about the loss of her father, Hibberd opens the floodgates of her emotions and declares that she does not know how to navigate her feelings. Finding her voice… Read more »
