Ben Quad has released their new single, “It’s Just A Title,” pulled from their forthcoming sophomore album, Wisher. Their 10-track collection is set to drop on November 14 via Pure Noise Records. “‘It’s Just A Title’ is about living with constant existential insecurity and questioning whether life now is any better than before,” guitarist Edgar Viveros shares. “Musically, we drew inspiration from bands like All-American Rejects and Motion City Soundtrack, leaning into pop elements like heavy synths and a guitar solo. It was the first time we broke away from strict Midwest emo and punk structures, and it came together… Read more »
Following their latest offering, “Cellophane,” Don Broco cranks up the volume with their new single “Hype Man.” “‘Hype Man’ is about how grateful I am to be on this journey with the rest of my bandmates,” frontman Rob Damiani shares. “We’ve been friends since school and I don’t know how I could face all the challenges of life without them. In this industry there’s so many highs and lows that I couldn’t even imagine dealing with as a solo artist, so for me that brotherhood and support system is the best thing about being in a band. We all need… Read more »

For Americans across the nation, this July 4th might not feel like one worth celebrating. In Trump’s first six months in office, he’s sent the military on U.S. citizens in Los Angeles. ICE arrests have broken innocent families apart, and in most cases, those being deported have no criminal record (or are actual American citizens). Countless pieces of legislation were introduced or passed that take direct aim at the LGBTQ+ community. Federal workers were laid off en masse, the genocide in Palestine rages on, and this is merely scratching the surface. Refer back, even further, to 2023 when SCOTUS overturned… Read more »
