Turnstile GLOW ON with their new Converse collab. The hardcore band turned viral music act will release shoes with the iconic company on Friday, January 26. The announcement was made via a YouTube video directed by bandmates Brandon Yates and Pat McCroy. The capsule collection will feature two different styles with varying designs on each.

When Casey announced their split at the tail-end of 2018, there was an expectation that we would never hear from them again. Putting to bed an emotional whirlwind of a five-year career, their music captured a particular intensity that many bands never even get close to achieving. Though following their instincts and allowing themselves to reconvene, 2022 signaled a new chapter for the five-piece. That started as a handful of shows at the beginning of 2023, alongside a pair of tracks in “Great Grief” and “Atone,” summing up the feelings of getting to know each other again. It has now… Read more »
“Diamonds Aren’t Forever,” but the memory of Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes and Static Dress’ Olli Appleyard is. On January 17, at their stop in Liverpool, England, Sykes announced to the crowd, “Who wants to hear an oldie?” and brought out Appleyard to join him for the song. The track is off of their second album, Suicide Season, and had fans excited. Appleyard lent his screams to the classic song and worked the stage alongside Sykes. The Static Dress frontman is seen hyping up the crowd, screaming in unison with Sykes, and having a good time. One audience member… Read more »
GHØSTKID has announced a new album, Hollywood Suicide, and dropped the first single from the record, “FSU.” The new full-length comes out on March 22 via Century Media Records, ahead of their upcoming spring tour with Black Veil Brides, Creeper, and Dark Divine. The post-hardcore act embodies an edgy and (positively) offensive realness that hasn’t been in the scene for a bit. Dramatic make-up, masks at times, but overall, they appear like varieties of the undead, especially in the music video for the new single. All of which makes GHØSTKID stand out as new proverours in the genre. Vocalist Sebastian… Read more »
Enter Shikari and FEVER 333’s Jason Aalon Butler release their latest collab with the new single “Losing My Grip.” This is both acts’ first new music in 2024, ahead of their upcoming arena tour in the UK and EU. With innovative traits from both artists, the new song joins Butler’s fast-paced delivery and socially aware lyrics with lead singer and producer Rou Reynolds‘s distorted electro mix that’s solidified in unity with equally aggressive vocals from both. Butler says that he’s always been a fan of Enter Shikari; “they are an entity in their own lane.” That’s evident on this track,… Read more »
