Spanish Love Songs has revealed the acoustic version of “Pendulum” from their No Joy Sessions. The acoustic album reinvents tracks from 2023’s No Joy LP, adding new depth to the beloved songs. Lead vocalist Dylan Slocum notes, “This version of ‘Pendulum’ is a bit closer to the original song we scrapped in the studio — upbeat and driving. Speeding it up always changed how I would read or react to the lyrics. It softens them a bit, and I think it is why we ultimately slowed it down for the album. But I always loved both, so it’s nice to… Read more »

With the final season of Netflix’s You causing quite a stir on the internet since its launch last Thursday, April 26, we’re putting our own spin on bidding the series farewell. Record spin, that is. The main character, Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley, is a man of too-many-to-keep-track-of contradictions. Bookish yet brutal, romantic yet ruthless. Across five seasons of You, each of Joe’s love interests reveals a different shade of his psyche and a different version of deeply disturbing obsession. But what if we soundtracked their stories? Below, we’ve paired each of his partners with the album that best… Read more »
It’s only a matter of time before My Chemical Romance—the band that rewrote the DNA of emo for an entire generation clad in black suits and red ties—gets the Hollywood treatment. At least we freaking hope so! With the success of the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody and the Oscar-nominated A Complete Unknown, we can’t help but imagine what an MCR movie would look like: the eyeliner, the concept albums, the trauma, the triumph. Or perhaps, a post-apocalyptic afterlife centered around The Black Parade, with The Patient as the lead character and the band themselves driving the story forward through musical performances.… Read more »

Fairfield, Connecticut’s own Anxious is a force to be reckoned with. On their sophomore album, Bambi—out now via Run For Cover Records—the young East Coast quintet blends delicate emo sonics with blistering hardcore and sweltering pop-punk melodies.

It seems like every major musical artist has found box-office success in the form of an Oscar-worthy biopic.

P.S. If you need a goofy “biopic,” then Weird: The Al Yankovic Story starring Daniel Radcliffe is the flick for you.
