The St. Louis-based post-hardcore veterans are back after a five-year wait with their sixth studio album via Sharptone Records.

For nearly 25 years, Norma Jean has maintained their prominence in the metalcore scene with fans spanning generations and nine LPs to their name. It defies the precedent left by so many artists before them to think that Norma Jean is still touring strong behind a new record and loyal fanbase, without a single founding member left in the group. In 2002, when Norma Jean released their seminal debut LP, Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child, they were already more than a decade ahead of their time with a record that foreshadowed evolutions in the genre. The band’s signature… Read more »
Photo credit: Tom Barnes December 8, 2012: I’ve recently graduated university, I’m working a customer service job while I try to figure out my future, and I’m standing inside London’s Wembley Arena, screaming my lungs out to You Me At Six. Since then, I’ve talked about this moment a lot: That time I flew to London, a trip built around one of my favorite bands. You Me At Six was celebrating the end of an album cycle with their largest show to date and as soon as the “Final Night of Sin” was announced, I knew I had to be… Read more »
Movies are a cornerstone of our lives. So is music. We spend countless hours consuming both mediums for enjoyment. It’s no secret that film has inspired musicians over the years.
Sometimes it feels like it’s been ages since you’ve gotten new music from your favorite bands and you just start to get a little…itchy? (Just me, maybe?) Anyway, it’s only been two years since CHVRCHES dropped an entire studio album but, man, have we missed new music from them.

Now CHVRCHES announced the release date and gave us another teaser to drool over. In the post,… Read more »
by Maysa After many years of photographing and attending one too many concerts, the one that still stays fresh in my mind is Turnstile’s sold-out Love Connection Tour at the House of Blues in Orlando, FL back in October 2022. I was a bit late to the game when it came to listening to their back-then latest album release Glow On—but as soon as I spinned it about a thousand times and the band dropped new tour dates, their Orlando show was the one I looked forward to attending all year. (And I was seeing Harry Styles before them…so that’s… Read more »
The year was 2006 and the music world was captivated by “Hey There Delilah”. That’s what Plain White T’s was known for…but did you know they’ve had eight full-length albums? Their last album came out in 2018, though, so it’s been a minute since they released new music. But now, we’re all in luck because they’ve dropped a brand new single! “Spaghetti Tattoo” gives off very similar vibes to “Hey There Delilah” and talks about the feelings connected to dating someone new. As reported by NME, lead singer Tom Higgenson said about the song, “I went on a great first… Read more »
