What a time to be an emo kid. With nostalgia in vogue, scene kids like ourselves are begging for another chance to live out our Warped Tour fantasies. The days of thick rubber bracelets with “I Love Boobies” imprinted into them, free meet-and-greets at the merch tent, and a day chock-full of heavy-hitting acts in the alternative space. Luckily, When We Were Young Fest is filling this void for the second year in a row with another incredibly stacked lineup. From legacy headliners like Green Day and blink-182 to next-generation acts like Magnolia Park and Games We Play, the second-annual… Read more »
L.S. Dunes has been sharing new tunes, dropping band documentaries, and now they’ve released a new music video for “Old Wounds.” Created by @iammethisisi, an AI artist, the video shows scenes of fire, astronauts, UFOs, and 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. Giving fans a taste of what to expect, Lotus just dropped the title track, which grapples with themes of mental health and addiction through a rock-forward arrangement. Combining harsh background screams with driving guitar rhythms, “nosebleeder” is an elevated new take on the artist’s dynamic sound. Produced by pop-punk masters Mike Pepe (Taking Back Sunday, Charlotte Sands) and Matt Malpass (blink-182, nothing, nowhere.), we can expect this second full-length to be… Read more »
The Dillinger Escape Plan aren’t set to reunite any time soon, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t being offered the big bucks to consider it!
Now more than ever, we need female role models in rock music. That is, women who raise their voices onstage and off to give the next generation of artists the confidence to stay true to who they are and write songs that reflect that. The road can sometimes feel rocky, and there will always be criticism, hate comments, comparisons, and misperceptions. But it’s about turning those challenges into something honest and beautiful that will help break the glass ceiling. Nashville-based pop-punk songstress Taylor Acorn is cutting out the noise and writing about her journey as a female artist on her… Read more »
