Wake up, Parxies! Waterparks just dropped a vivid music video for their new single “SNEAKING OUT OF HEAVEN.” Staying true to their love of experimental imagery and primary colors, it is a fantastical visual pairing to the song’s synth-pop sensibility. Marking their first single and music video release since their LP, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, the trio proves that they are continuing to put the utmost attention to detail into their creative vision and branding. From sped-up and stop-motion performance clips to close-ups of Awsten Knight in the grass and lit by a uniquely colored sunset, it feels like the viewer is… Read more »
Today is a great day to discover your new favorite band. Texas-based House Parties is happy to make your acquaintance with their vivacious new single, “Braindead.” Marking their first release signed to Equal Vision Records, the pop-punk trio introduces themselves to the world through lively gang vocals, dynamic drum fills, and driving guitars that stay the course through the entire arrangement. It is a fiery anthem with the same tongue-in-cheek spirit as scene heavy-hitters like State Champs—and coincidentally, frontman Derek DiScanio is listed as a collaborator on the track. In a statement, House Parties shares the meaning behind the single… Read more »
At first glance, the thought of setting emo bangers to orchestral strings doesn’t sound real. How could the soothing nature of classical music ever match up to the angst and grit of the Warped Tour scene? However, this juxtaposition creates the most magical blend of emotionally charged lyrics and dynamic instrumentation. Hawthorne Heights experiments with this theatrical sound on an orchestral rendition of their latest single, “The Storm,” pulled from their freshly released EP, Lost Light, which dropped last month. Celebrating their current tour with Emo Orchestra, the new version paints Hawthorne Heights’ authentically emo-punk sound in a new and… Read more »
Today is a big day for Lil Lotus. The pop-punk artist and rapper just announced his sophomore record nosebleeder, which will be released on December 1 via Epitaph Records.
