Morissette Previews New Album At Los Angeles Show

Alanis Morissette has returned to the jagged little sound that made her famous. The Canadian singer debuted eight new songs during a show Friday night, providing a generous preview of her next album, which is sitting in limbo while she fights a contract dispute with Maverick Records. Much of the new material harked back to the edgier pop-rock of Morissette’s 1995 smash, Jagged Little Pill, and steered away from the moody, Eastern-influenced sound of its follow-up, 1998’s Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. Accordingly, the two-hour performance – the first of two consecutive nights at Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre – was… Read more »

Ranking mgk Tickets To My Downfall Collaborations

When Tickets To My Downfall dropped in 2020, it marked a major crossover moment for MGK (formerly Machine Gun Kelly). After years rooted in hip-hop—with past collaborations alongside Sleeping With Sirens and name-drops of blink-182 in “Her Song”—the album solidified his transformation into a full-fledged pop-punk frontman. Produced alongside blink-182’s Travis Barker (with whom MGK had already worked on “I Think I’m OKAY” featuring YUNGBLUD), Tickets To My Downfall became a defining moment in the pop-punk revival. It topped charts, divided critics, and reignited interest in Warped Tour-era guitar music—all while proving MGK could thrive outside the rap world. Since… Read more »

Ranking Andy Biersack (Black Veil Brides) Style Evolution

From Myspace scene kid to gothic gentleman, Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides has lived more aesthetic lives than a Sims character with cheat codes, including under his previous moniker Andy Sixx and under his solo work as Andy Black. Across two decades, he’s been a Warped Tour vampire, a bleach-blonde, a cinematic solo artist, an awards-show meme, and even a blood-soaked antihero straight out of a rock opera. Some eras were short-lived (justice for blue streak Andy), others defined entire Hot Topic walls—but every version proved the same thing: Andy fully commits to every aesthetic he touches.
