What do The Devil Wears Prada and Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker have in common? They are both heavy hitters in the alternative and metalcore spaces. Today, they joined forces on a brand new version of “Salt” for The Devil Wears Prada’s new deluxe album, COLOR DECAY.

Two of pop-punk’s queens are back at it again. Taylor Acorn and Cassadee Pope are empowering fellow women in the scene with the new music video for their latest collaboration, “Coma.” The song is about losing yourself in a toxic relationship, and the process of picking up the pieces and walking away from it. Staged in a dark warehouse, Acorn and Pope’s performances emanate a vibrant energy that commands attention. Infused with an emotional charge, their powerful vocal harmonies breathe a profound new life into a song about feeling numb. Cassadee Pope, having co-written the song with Taylor Acorn, is… Read more »
Ever since he was a kid, there’s one thing Sage Weeber has always loved: drumming.

L.S. Dunes is a gift to alternative music, full of endless sonic surprises. Today, the quintet released their new single, “Old Wounds.” With haunting stillness, the band departs from the intensity of their 2022 LP Past Lives, taking a slower approach to the release without sacrificing any raw instrumentals. Though, this is in staunch contrast to Dunes’ preceding 2023 single, “Benadryl Subreddit,” which begins with a screaming Anthony Green, and chock-full of “desert energy.” Talk about range.
