Arrows In Action have two words for you on their new single: SHUT. UP. Preceded by their LP I Think I’ve Heard This Before, the pop-rock trio is taking a brief departure from their sunny sonics and bright guitar licks to show the world that they have a bad boy side, too, with some dance-inducing synths.

The band says, “This is the first time I wrote from someone else’s perspective rather than my own.

KennyHoopla just dropped a song that is vital to add to your playlist. In a world that hasn’t learned anything from its past, the artist observes what life looks like to Gen Z in “NEW AMERICA//.” Additionally, he recruited The Strokes‘ Albert Hammond Jr. to offer his guitar skills to the track. KennyHoopla says, “At its core, ‘New America’ is a cynical play on words. Modern society sells us a vision of ‘newness,’ but underneath the fresh paint, America is just making the bed, but hiding the mess underneath it. History is being rebuilt with the exact same old bricks;… Read more »
