After announcing his signing to Pete Wentz‘s DCD2 Records and PULSE Records in September, glimmer rock artist Vienna Vienna has finally dropped his debut EP, Wonderland. He previously released tracks “Beauty Queen” and “Vienna (Everything’s Fine).” The artist explains, “Wonderland is a bit of a time capsule. Coming-of-age stories have always fascinated me—how and when people discover themselves. I looked at my life and thought I was finally becoming, so I wrote it down. Wonderland was a tinnitus-inducing show where I snuck out back and pretended to have smoked a cigarette before; the pain I’d been burying tearing its way… Read more »

Pop-punk music is overflowing with nostalgic and new acts, and they all coexist to create a community for the misfits, misunderstood youth, and adults who want to feel heard. We all can find something to love about the genre’s confessional lyrics, ear-worm choruses, and fast-paced rhythms.

The release encapsulates the glory days of early 2000’s pop-punk nostalgia combined with the production quality and modern-day edge of 2024’s brightest scene artists.… Read more »

Nothing, and I mean nothing, soothes my anxiety more than a night drive. Windows down sailing along back roads with only the stars above for company. It’s peaceful. Soothing. And to top it all off, a perfectly crafted playlist. Curated over years and years for drives just like this, birthed from panic attacks that don’t know how to let go. They knot themselves up in your rib cage, squeeze your heart, and steal the air from your lungs. It’s agonizing, it’s maddening. The right playlist is a life raft in an ocean of uncertainty—a deep breath when the air feels… Read more »

Hot Mulligan never stops making GREAT music. Well, that’s how it feels anyway with their new song, “Stickers Of Brian,” out via Wax Bodega Records. The dynamic track explores breaking the generational cycle of modern-day monotony, which the Michigan act is an expert at. A music video accompanies the release and is filled with absolute chaos in the workplace. It features male characters kissing everyone in a boardroom that starts to involve everyone in the vicinity. Vocalist Tades Sanville’s screams carry on behind this unraveling scene with lyrics, “Budgeting how long you’ll be alive/Why talk about it/If I’ve gotta hear… Read more »

Vocalist Ryan Nolen started the project in 2022, and the latest song encapsulates a montage of melancholia.
