TRIGGER WARNING: This post in relation to “Hated,” the new single from YUNGBLUD, includes graphic depictions of sexual assault from his first-hand account as a child. YUNGBLUD’s introduction of his new single, “Hated,” has been surreal to experience. Prior to the official release of “Hated,” YUNGBLUD (aka Dom Harrison) issued a statement on his social media platforms on August 23 in which he recounts an incredibly sensitive and graphic depiction of sexual assault that he experienced as a child. In the statement, he writes, “When I was seven years old, I was molested by a doctor. I never told anyone… Read more »
Country singer Jason Aldean barely concealed his bigotry with the “Try That In A Small Town” single. It’s reassuring to know that these violently evil views are not the norm. Not in music, not in country music, not anywhere.

Seeing him tonight is a bad idea right? Olivia Rodrigo has shared her second single “bad idea right?” from her upcoming sophomore album GUTS out September 8th. In all its pop-rock glory, the new track is nothing short of an absolute BANGER. Starting off with a grungy guitar riff, you are immediately transported into the attitude-filled, tongue-in-cheek world that Rodrigo has perfected. It is snotty, clever, and feels like a shit-eating grin of a track. Olivia Rodrigo basically talks the verses, in a smug, self-satisfied fashion. She is doing something she shouldn’t, making a probable mistake, but frankly doesn’t care.… Read more »
