August Burns Red are putting on a very special two day Christmas event, featuring an incredible array of heavy music’s finest.
As per usual, The Maine has been more than generous to fans, offering amazing collabs, dropping an incredible ninth record, and sharing new acoustic renditions of their singles. After teasing a snippet of the track earlier this week, the group finally shared a stripped-down version of the dance-inducing, pop-laced banger “blame,” resulting in a haunting, heartfelt performance. Frontman John O’Callaghan’s vocals absolutely shine on this somber rendition, departing from the glitzy disco aesthetics and sounds of its original counterpart. Frankly, be prepared to sob. Listen to The Maine’s acoustic reinterpretation of “blame” below. In a recent Instagram clip, listeners can… Read more »

It’s an endearing and bright-eyed picture of what it’s like to find your other half and the lengths you go to treasure it. Frontman and creative visionary Martin Johnson explains the song’s origins in a statement and the experience… Read more »
Charlotte Sands is back and better than ever. The pop-rock songstress just dropped her new single, “use me,” which takes listeners on a journey of self-love and acceptance. Marking the lead single off of her highly-anticipated debut album, can we start over?, Sands opens up about the never-ending treadmill of the music industry: the highs and lows of trying to please everyone, all while trying to fulfill your own wants and dreams. The expectations of others carry a lot of weight, especially as an up-and-coming star. But through cathartic lyrics and powerful imagery, Sands releases herself of the pressure and… Read more »
Well, this isn’t a headline you see every day. A fan brought their dog up in the pit during Motionless In White’s set at The Scranton Apocalypse Fest on Saturday, September 16 in Scranton, PA. This unusual scene caught the attention of fellow concertgoers and the band’s drummer, Vince Mauro. In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter), Mauro explains his very valid concerns about the dog attending the gig. “Seeing the dog in the pit at our Scranton show really bummed me out,” Mauro writes. “I wanna go on record to say unless your dog is literally deaf and… Read more »
When we lose someone we love, we can feel a million different emotions simultaneously: sadness, anger, denial, and everything in between. While the technical term for it is called “grief,” it is a far more complex emotion and process than these five letters make it out to be. Alt-pop songstress Lauran Hibberd does her best to bluntly explain the stages of grief in her grunge-infused new single, “I suck at grieving.” Writing about the loss of her father, Hibberd opens the floodgates of her emotions and declares that she does not know how to navigate her feelings. Finding her voice… Read more »
Scene Queen, “bimbocore” royalty, just dropped a new song and corresponding music video for “Pink Push-Up Bra” via Hopeless Records. The music video follows the vocalist decked out in pink à la Elle Woods of ‘Legally Blonde,’ and it even features a perfect pup Chico The Chihuahua. Scene Queen began teasing the track in early September, sharing snippets of the heavy metal-infused track. “I made a song for women to take their power back,” she shared on Instagram. Check out the full “Pink Push-Up Bra” video below. The music video, which also has cameos from TX2 and members of Honey… Read more »
boygenius have shared an amazing animated visual for their beautifully cathartic song, “Cool About It” today. A group that is praised for their remarkable lyricism, the last verse of this track is absolutely astonishing. They are capable of painting a vivid picture of human emotion and experience, with such simple delivery. “But we don’t have to talk about it / I can walk you home and practice method acting / I’ll pretend being with you doesn’t feel like drowning / Tellin’ you it’s nice to see how good you’re doing / Even though we know it isn’t true”. boygenius depicts… Read more »

If you want to relive your MySpace era, poptropicaslutz! is the duo for you.

Possessing the charm and sexiness of 2010s bands like The Cab, “True Colors” shows off what the duo does best: writing complex and dynamic pop songs best visualized as colorful… Read more »
