With four previous studio albums each offering a fresh perspective of electrifying emo-pop, Kicksie has released their all-new record Slouch via Counter Intuitive Records.

Opening with the kaleidoscope-esque track, “Closure” before blooming into the album’s third track “Boyfriend,” Slouch is an amalgamation of highs and lows that represent Mormile’s intimate journey as an artist. We had the chance to speak with Mormile, the mastermind behind Kicksie ahead… Read more »
Pulling inspiration from a wide variety of artists including My Chemical Romance, 100 gecs, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, and even Lil Peep, LA-based Eli Hurts has released his highly-anticipated debut solo album, Ouch. Arriving today via Rude Records, Ouch has been brewing in Hurts since childhood. After releasing his debut EP, Future Accountants of America, Unite in 2020, Hurts set the tone of his forward-motion career through an array of alternative, emo, pop, punk, and a dash or two of synth.

Big Noise’s pop-punk duo, girlfriends, consisting of Travis Mills and Nick Gross, has dropped their latest endeavor—a stripped-down new single, “Life’s a Brittany.” Acting as the follow-up to their 2023 titular track, the band will release their next EP, Over My Dead Body, through Big Noise on May 12. Produced By Andrew Goldstein (Machine Gun Kelly, blackbear, Papa Roach), the acoustic-driven “Life’s a Brittany” showcases a softer, sweeter side of the band with a twinkling background and takes a more emotional approach than their previous singles.
