Nostalgia is a major fuel source for pop culture today, stimulating our brains with positive memories. But nostalgia can only get you so far. A bunch of the bands we grew up on are not only still together, but still killing it.
Paramore have captured a little bit of magic from every one of their recent shows in the UK and Ireland and shared them for you to enjoy too.
Kelly Clarkson, the multi-talented singer, and host of The Kelly Clarkson Show, has performed a heart-wrenching rendition of Paramore’s 2009 single “The Only Exception.” Clarkson’s powerful performance on her morning segment, Kellyoke, offered a stripped-back cover of the hit single accompanied by Jaco Caraco’s delicate, acoustic strumming to create an intimate and captivating soundscape. Clarkson’s interpretation of the 2009 release demonstrated her ability to capture the essence of the song’s original format while adding her own unique twist. Her vulnerable delivery conveyed the song’s message of heartache and hope, much like Hayley Williams’ original vocal performance. Read more: Indie-Pop Band… Read more »
Cameron Hurley has had a storied career since joining We Are The In Crowd in 2009. After the band’s success across Warped Tour, Hurley has furthered his guitar skills and artistry alongside bandmate Taylor Jardine under the stage name Sainte and has even played alongside Avril Lavigne and State Champs. Now, Hurley has hurled himself into his own passion project—a complete cover album of blink-182’s 1997 album Dude Ranch under the moniker new.wav. As evidenced by Hurley’s social media presence, he is a massive fan of the pop-punk trio having created multiple mashups of other popular tracks, including Billie Eilish’s… Read more »
Against the Current has us reeling today with the brand new single “good guy” that will soon be classified as a classic ATC song. If you have that person that keeps trying to come back around after they’ve hurt you, this ones for you. You know them too well by now, and all signs point to them being full of shit. (Let’s be real, we’ve all got one by now.) Vocalist Chrissy Constanza said the new single is “all about going from anger to apathy, recognizing that this person that hurt you is too sad to hate.” She goes on… Read more »
Hey Monday fans rejoice, Cassadee Pope is back! Fans have long awaited Pope’s return to pop-punk after her band Hey Monday called it quits in December 2011 following the re-release of the group’s sophomore EP Candles earlier that year. Following their split, Pope had a storied career in country music after she took home a victory title for The Voice season 3 and even briefly reunited with Hey Monday in 2019 for a Nashville hometown show. However, their reunion only spurred fans’ enthusiasm for Pope’s return to her roots. Read more: Hot Mulligan Share New Track “Gans Media Retro Games”… Read more »
Balance and Composure are back after a five-year hiatus, and have delivered two truly special new tracks as a welcome back present.
Get ready to get your groove on and your chores done with KiNG MALA’s new single “dirty dishes.” Unlike her previous releases, “she calls me daddy” and “cult leader,” which emanated her natural charisma, commanding personality, and certainty, “dirty dishes” injects her discography with a fresh, luminous approach. “The day I wrote this song the line that kept coming to mind was, ‘I gave you the door code to my apartment.’ I was falling for someone new, and I had just given them open access to my life, whenever they wanted – which was terrifying,” KiNG MALA—aka Areli Castro—shares of… Read more »
We are so close to Paramore releasing This is Why that it’s about to put us in a coma. If you were at their Nashville release party, then you got another peek into their sixth studio album. During an encore, the band played the brand new song “Running Out of Time”. It’s already possibly the most relatable song yet for us non-Type A people out there. Hayley Williams told the crowd, “This is a song about how I’m always late to everything. It’s not that deep… it’s really not that deep. Unless you want to think about the planet dying,… Read more »
