Green Day has never been the type to hold back—and they’re certainly not starting now with the release of their deeply personal new single and accompanying video for “Dilemma.” The new release marks the third preview of the trio’s forthcoming 14th studio album, Saviors, set to arrive on January 19, 2024. The unfiltered track opens with gentle guitar strums, setting the stage for frontman Billie Joe Armstrong‘s croons, “Welcome to my problems/It’s not an invitation/This is my dilemma/And it’s my obsession.” The song then explodes with full force, unleashing a powerhouse of electric guitar riffs and thunderous drums, amplifying Armstrong’s… Read more »

Mixing EDM and metalcore is on the rise. The Amity Affliction is the most recent artist to jump on this trend and has reimagined their song “Show Me Your God” with DJ PROBLM CHLD. The bouncy trance, sometimes dubstep-esqe beat, is a different way to listen to the Australian act. Earlier this year, the group also dropped their new album, Not Without My Ghosts, which includes features from phem and posthumous rapper Louie Knuxx. With reworked songs, sometimes it can take time to get used to new sounds, flow, and even sometimes fewer vocals. But guitarist Dan Brown says, “I… Read more »

UK punkers The Menstrual Cramps have released their new single, “Body Politics,” and signed to Alcopop! Records. The band also announced headline shows in the new year, including Manchester Punk Fest, Outer Town Festival, and 2000 Trees.

With quick drums and a strong beat, the song kicks in by repeating the title and includes, “Body politics/Gender is performative/I didn’t choose my gender it was placed on me.” Clocking in under three minutes, it’s a good old-fashioned pointed punk song that challenges the status quo. Vocalist Emilia… Read more »
