Pierce The Veil has returned to the When We Were Young Fest stage for the third year in a row. And truthfully, we will never ever get sick of them up there! Last year, frontman Vic Fuentes lent his vocals to a stage collaboration with Yellowcard before giving a guitar away on stage to a fan during his band’s set. This year, the San Diego-based group performed their beloved third album, Collide With The Sky, in full. Their set included fan favorites such as “Hold On Till May” and their Kellin Quinn collaboration, “King For A Day,” recreating the magic… Read more »

Guitarist Stephen Harrison and drummer Aric Improta “knew it wasn’t going to be easy to start again from scratch, but that phrase became our ethos.” After departing from Fever 333 in October 2022, the dynamic duo knew it was time to sonically explore corners of the alternative landscape they hadn’t reached. This time, without creative differences in their way. Luckily, House Of Protection—their new venture—found its sound on their first day of writing. The band combines the raw grit and uncensored ferocity fans from the past decade have come to expect from the artists, tinged with a humble and unique approach to modern… Read more »

Hayley Williams is one of alternative’s most iconic voices, and she genuinely has no time for modern internet drama. Fans are applauding the Paramore lead singer’s call-out of pop girly stan culture after she posted a now-expired Instagram story. According to a Stereogum transcription, Williams shares, “Something I’ve been thinking about a lot, and why I don’t really love it… Especially in the music world, whether it’s the pop girls or any scene, really, people only give a fuck about numbers now, and stats. And that is so lame. It’s very fun, don’t get me wrong. It’s sick. We’ve had… Read more »
There aren’t many bands contending with The Killers for the widest breadth of sonic profile. Since the day that cage door opened, they’ve strayed worlds away from their grit-and-glam ethos of post-punk revival. The trek’s seen them over the washboard roads of heartland rock, through flashbangs of synth-driven pop, and the wildflower fields on the softer side of folk. And still, now 20 years removed from their Hot Fuss debut, they continue to fire off their early staples with the same love-scorned ferocity that had first lit the fuse. In celebration of the bi-decadal anniversary today, June 7, we reached… Read more »

Though it is known as the institution that turned ABBA into superstars and showcases the wildest and weirdest creations that Europe has to offer, there is still room for some rock ‘n’ roll in the ranks. Over the years, pop has been the predominant genre in which countries project their entries. Though guitars have been making their way slowly but surely, they sometimes take the whole competition by storm. From masked monsters and nu-metal stalwarts to glam-rock superstars,… Read more »
