Angel Du$t is rocking on with a new label. The quintet just announced they’ve signed with Run For Cover Records and dropped two new tracks, “The Beat” and “The Knife.” Alongside its delightfully unhinged and chaotic music video, “The Beat” also features Twitching Tongues‘ Taylor Young.

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 »
