With 2024 swiftly underway, a wave of eagerly-awaited new singles, albums, and more are poised to make their way into the heavy rotation of our go-to playlists sooner than we realize. Unlike the previous year when Fireworks dropped their new collection, Higher Lonely Power—their first full-length since 2014’s Oh, Common Life—on New Year’s Day, we’ve had a moment to decompress from the holiday madness before diving headfirst into the new release calendar marked by the turn of the new year. Ranging from long-awaited releases such as Neck Deep’s self-titled album and Ghost Atlas’ first new collection since 2017, to debut… Read more »

Let’s dive straight into this alternate reality and see what a universe would look like if the soundtrack for The Marvels was composed of emo tunes. Since the three leads all grew up in different decades, it gives us the opportunity to include emo from varying eras. Let’s break it down between these leading women.
God is real, and her name is Taylor Swift. Whether or not you’re on board with Swiftie mania, it’s impossible to deny that the record-breaking artist is an industry-changing champion. From country to pop and rock to indie, she defies genre and definitely has a streak of emo running through her veins, as she’s noted Pete Wentz as a major songwriting inspiration in the past. After all, her vault tracks from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) include collaborations with Fall Out Boy and Paramore’s Hayley Williams. You also can’t forget “Two Is Better Than One” with Boys Like Girls or… Read more »
There’s finally a chill in the air, and we all know what that means: Halloween is on its way. Whether you enjoy dressing up for parties or hosting a horror movie night from the comfort of your couch, there’s something for everyone to take part in. Better yet, there are plenty of alternative bands and artists that find their inspiration in the spooky season. This doesn’t mean that they are carving pumpkins or telling ghost stories. Many bands in our scene incorporate paranormal or horror imagery and themes into their releases. This can take the form of voodoo dolls (The… Read more »
Seeing him tonight is a bad idea right? Olivia Rodrigo has shared her second single “bad idea right?” from her upcoming sophomore album GUTS out September 8th. In all its pop-rock glory, the new track is nothing short of an absolute BANGER. Starting off with a grungy guitar riff, you are immediately transported into the attitude-filled, tongue-in-cheek world that Rodrigo has perfected. It is snotty, clever, and feels like a shit-eating grin of a track. Olivia Rodrigo basically talks the verses, in a smug, self-satisfied fashion. She is doing something she shouldn’t, making a probable mistake, but frankly doesn’t care.… Read more »
As Fall Out Boy‘s enchanting So Much For (Tour) Dust draws to a close this weekend on August 6, a special guest and old friend graced the stage last night at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY. While the band flawlessly sailed through their initial 16 tracks, Gym Class Heroes‘ charismatic frontman, Travie McCoy, joined the ensemble for two cover performances. The first rendition was Gym Class Heroes and Adam Levine‘s 2011 hit “Stereo Hearts,” delivered with an ingenious twist. Fall Out Boy‘s lead singer, Patrick Stump, set the stage with a piano introduction, passionately delivering Levine’s iconic opening lines,… Read more »
Thy Art Is Murder are hurtling towards their new album with the release of the debauched ‘Keres’, one of their fiercest and finest tracks to date.
Legendary rock band, Fall Out Boy have treated fans to a modernized take on the Billy Joel classic, “We Didn’t Start The Fire” today. The original was a smash hit in 1989, spitting out a rapid-fire mixture of historical references to the boomer era. It was a lengthy montage of all relevant things, good and bad. Everything from pop culture to political references were strewn throughout the verses and broken up with an explosive chorus. It’s been nearly 35 years since Billy Joel’s version. Fall Out Boy deemed it necessary to give the track an up-to-date resurrection in true millennial… Read more »
Alt-pop singer/songwriter, Sophie Powers has returned today with a brand new single, “Bathroom Floor“. The track oozes with nightcore vibes, a dark pop song with glossy vocals iced on top. The chorus is powerful while the verses offer a groovy break for the listener. “Bathroom Floor” follows “Nosebleed” as the second single she has released since signing to Atlantic Records sister-label, TAG music. Sophie Powers tackles mental health struggles in the song, but also has pledged to help raise $3,000 in donations in correspondence with her new release in support of The National Alliance for Eating Disorders Organization.
