After teasing their new song and also gaining millions of views on TikTok, The Paradox have officially dropped their new single, “Do Me Like That.” (Fun fact, it was first called “Subaru” before the car dealer sent a cease and desist.)

Then it turned into Glamour Kills.… Read more »

If you’re a scene kid, there’s no way you didn’t have a Paramore phase… or perhaps you’re still in it. (No judgment because same here.) From the band’s initial LP release All We Know Is Falling in 2005 to their most recent This Is Why album, the Hayley Williams-fronted group has transcended genre, infusing each song with relatable lyrics that have stood the test of time. Not to mention, Williams has become an idol for many young women who love the rock genre or are currently in the primarily male-dominated music space. With that being said, here is the best… Read more »
Marking his long-awaited return, KennyHoopla kicks off 2025 with “NORTHERN LIGHTS//,” his first release in nearly a year—and it’s unlike anything he’s dropped before. Departing from the raucous pop-punk energy that’s defined much of his catalog, the new track leans into an ambient, cinematic atmosphere that feels extremely intimate.

He shares the next chapter of his journey on social media. “I… Read more »
