ERRA has dropped a music video for their latest single, “Blue Reverie,” from their upcoming album, CURE. The LP will arrive on April 5 via UNFD. The music video takes place in a similar landscape to their previous single release. Staying in the same world works in favor of the act to further emphasize the environmental messaging they want to give to fans. The band plays in an abandoned home with large, dirty windows that are slightly illuminated. It illustrates the lyrics in the chorus through their mise-en-scène, “Get me back home to hide away/Hide away/Slip back into my silhouette.”… Read more »
Ashnikko is genre-bending royalty, supercharging their debut album Weedkiller with punchy singles such as “Cheerleader” and the sunny groove “Worms.” Standout single “You Make Me Sick!” kicked off the entire Weedkiller era, and it was unforgettable. Raw, aggressive screams narrate pure unadulterated rage, and help listeners who relate channel their own anger. With her signature indie pop glow, Dora Jar teamed up with Ashnikko to add a new layer to this blistering track with the “You Make Me Sick! (Dora Jar Remix).” Dora Jar “peeled back the thorny parts of it to show the sad guy behind the screaming and… Read more »
Sleep Theory hop on the reimagination train with their new version of their song, “Fallout.” Departing from the original nu-metalcore, hard rock sound, the act flexes their ability to be somber, yet vulnerable while still encompassing the full power of the track. A lyric video with a single lavender flower stands wavering, yet strong in front of a destroyed cityscape, which emphasizes the meaning behind the song. “Go and keep your distance/As you fall to pieces/In your toxic madness” ends the track with heartbreaking, pain-filled vocals from singer Cullen Moore. The previous rendition generates rage-filled regret about a bad relationship.… Read more »

“Bring Me To Life” has officially cracked into the Spotify Billions Club. The iconic track from Evanescence off of their debut album, Fallen, is still a standout for new and seasoned fans 20 years after its initial release. In 2023, the band celebrated their two-decade milestone with a deluxe vinyl and CD reissue. Demos from their popular tracks were included on the re-release, including a 2002 version of “Bring Me To Life.” This version doesn’t include the male vocalist feature from Paul McCoy of 12 Stones, as it does on the radio release and final album single. It’s more industrial… Read more »
When Casey announced their split at the tail-end of 2018, there was an expectation that we would never hear from them again. Putting to bed an emotional whirlwind of a five-year career, their music captured a particular intensity that many bands never even get close to achieving. Though following their instincts and allowing themselves to reconvene, 2022 signaled a new chapter for the five-piece. That started as a handful of shows at the beginning of 2023, alongside a pair of tracks in “Great Grief” and “Atone,” summing up the feelings of getting to know each other again. It has now… Read more »
