If you could ask for any gift on your wedding day, and I really mean anything… would you ask for a personal performance from Taking Back Sunday? Well, for newlyweds Sammi and Adam Seman, their wishes came true. On Friday, October 27, the quartet arrived to a reception at Trout Lake in Pennsylvania, dressed up in matching burnt orange suits. (Taking some fashion inspo from their friends in The Maine, perhaps?) At first, the couple did not believe it was them. After all, wouldn’t most people have to take a pause to make sure a surprise like this was real?… Read more »
This week I have singer/songwriter Grace McKagan. She’s no stranger to Rock ‘N’ Roll growing up in a Rock oriented family, I get to hear how she came to be as an artist and where her journey’s have taken her, from the road to modeling, to how we met, and everything else in between! Her music is really great, if you’re lucky enough to catch a show you won’t want to miss her when she hits your city.
Welcome to Creeper’s vampire era. The English quintet crawled out of the shadows once again—on Friday 13th, no less, to commence a new chapter with their outlandish third album, Sanguivore. The album contains their most grandiose, daring, and dark material to date. Knowing their penchant for all things gothic and ghoulish, telling a story revolving around vampires would seem as natural to them as wearing all-black. But to them, the figure of the vampire means more than sucking blood and skulking around at night. For Creeper and frontman William Von Ghould, the vampire represents rebirth. “We had the idea a long… Read more »

The chemistry between YUNGBLUD, the mastermind that is Dom Harrison, and Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes is undeniable. Marking their second collaboration together following 2020’s “Obey,” the two enigmatic vocalists have teamed up once again for “HAPPIER.” Last week, YUNGBLUD began teasing the collaborative track with a sped-up soundbite of the chorus featuring the lyrics, “If I could tell you how I feel/I know that you’re still hurting too/No I’m not broken/I’m just scared to belong here, scared to be happier,” with the first half of the chorus courtesy of Sykes.

Sweden’s premier emo band, Tribe Friday, is bringing their sophomore album, Hemma, to every alternative fan who needs to feel a little closer to places that shaped them. In fact, “hemma” in Swedish translates directly to “home.” Noah Deutschmann (vocals/guitar), Zack Liljeberg (drums), Isak Gunnarsson (guitar), and Robin Hanberger Pérez (bass) all confronted how this word has morphed with maturity. Following up their shimmering and sonically sweet debut, the quartet are tuning into their true-to-from emo roots, pulling back the bright instrumentals slightly, but not sacrificing their signature ethereal vocal styling. With singles preceding Hemma such as “Swimsuit” and “Day… Read more »
Marking their first new music since August 2022’s self-titled EP, Have Mercy has unveiled their soul-stirring new single, “Alive.” This captivating track is a sneak peek of what’s to come on their upcoming album, NUMB, which is scheduled to arrive via the group’s new label, Rude Records, on December 8. Embarking on a journey back to their roots, “Alive” is an examination of feeling ensnared in a toxic relationship with nowhere to turn or escape to. The song unfurls in an array of meticulously constructed drum fills and guitar work, creating a powerful backdrop for vocalist Brian Swindle’s gut-wrenching opening… Read more »
