It was never a phase. However, which phase are we talking about exactly? Truth be told, the evolution of the emo style had many, many phases. We know we were never the jocks, the preps, or the bookworms. But we certainly had something going on, and it was developing alongside the bands we loved. Sometimes we were in all black, and surprisingly, sometimes, we were in pink and yellow. Beanies may have been really tiny, and other times very baggy and oversized. Emo fashion means something different for everyone. We thought it would be fun to rank the different ways… Read more »
Happy July 4th! From cookouts to pool parties, this American holiday is best celebrated outdoors with family and friends. And, of course, one secret ingredient to the perfect Independence Day festivities is fireworks! But we’re not just talking about the red and blue sparklers that light up the sky.

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.
LØLØ has been absolutely unstoppable over the last few years. Since 2019, she has been boldly developing her sound, sharpening her style, and bringing back old-school heartbreak. Taking the troupes of classic pop-punk, forcing them through a modern mesh and coming out the other side with music that pays tribute to what has come before as well as what is still to arrive, her journey is still only just beginning. She has released three EPs since she started taking her diary entries and putting them into songs, most recently 2022’s Debbie Downer. Working with Maggie Lindemann and girlfriends, touring with… Read more »

It’s been nearly a decade since The All-American Rejects have toured and we have been crying in our cars to “Dirty Little Secret” patiently awaiting their return to the stage. All of that changed today with the announcement of the “Wet Hot All American Summer” tour. As if it wasn’t awesome enough to have The Rejects back, they really put the cherry on top with the support line up. New Found Glory, The Starting Line, Motion City Soundtrack and The Get Up Kids will be joining to make all of our nostalgic emo dreams come true. The band took to… Read more »
