Ahead of their many summer tour dates, Daisy Grenade has revealed their latest single, “So Happy.” This marks their first release of 2025, preceded by tracks “Taste,” “How To Hide A Body,” and “Hypocrite.” The lyrics on the punchy and powerful bop are so relatable. I mean, who hasn’t tried to move on and *maybe* wasn’t successful at first? The duo sings, “He looks like he just won the lottery/And I’m, I’m fine/I swore I thought I could be the bigger person/Thought I could let it go/I swore I thought I could be the bigger person/Thought I could let it… Read more »

With their new album The Lash set to arrive on July 25, The Dirty Nil has released a taste of the record with their latest single, “Spider Dream.” “I woke up one morning, completely refreshed by a nightmare,” vocalist/guitarist Luke Bentham explains. “It was a strange feeling but enough to animate a song. I had also just watched the Beatles documentary that the Lord of the Rings fella made, so I was inspired to use more jangly chords than I usually do. It was a strange one to bring to the band but the arrangement came together instantly and it… Read more »

PRESIDENT first began “campaigning” on social media on February 18, though the YouTube channel was originally created on January 1, 2025. Initially, TikTok users thought that this might be Sleep Token at work with more tunes or that Ghost was revealing more about their new leader. However, some eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Charlie Simpson, an OG member of UK pop-punk band Busted and also frontman of post-hardcore outfit Fightstar, filed a trademark for the band name… Read more »

Music festival season is officially upon us. Coachella kicked off the start of massive summer concert events on April 11-13 and April 18-20, and Columbus’ Sonic Temple Festival closely followed up on May 8-11. Some attendee accounts from these fests have stirred up major controversy, which forces the question, “Are festivals getting worse?” For starters, Coachella opened their weekends with cars stuck in traffic for 12+ hours, as reported by ABC7 Chicago. “I’ve seen people pass out from heat exhaustion,” one interviewee said. Some cars even ran out of gas and needed to be pushed onto the grounds. This past… Read more »
Wesam is back with another all-new episode of Wesam’s World Podcast! This week, it’s just Wesam and producer Alex diving into some major industry topics, big plans, and of course… a little chaos.
They break down the latest industry news—including the possible impact of new tariffs on the film industry—why doing your own stunts is both impressive and a little insane, and Wesam’s upcoming acting plans with Anthony Mark Barrow (yes, the guy he constantly roasts and gets roasted by).
And in true Wesam’s World fashion, it all ends with a reminder that life’s better when you stay weird, laugh often, and don’t take things too seriously.
