Eli Hurts Creates A Wonderland Experience On New Album ‘Ouch’
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. The culmination of these musical influences results in a motley of songs that are meant to be played at full
Paramore’s Hayley Williams has been on a hot streak lately. Acting as support for Taylor Swift’s opening night on the “Eras Tour,” the band’s first new album in six years was released in February, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their self-titled album last week—the Paramore fan base has been well-fed over the last several months.

In January, Bamboozle announced their lineup via an old-school, faux Myspace page. Rather than leaning into the nostalgic emo era Myspace was famous for, the lineup includes a plethora of genres and performances. The festival will be resurrected on May 5-7 at Bader Field in Atlantic City, NJ, and will allow you to purchase single-day tickets.

All I see is stars, far from the panic don’t know how I live without” The initial thought after hearing THE DRIVER ERA album Summer Mixtape: It’s addicting. Summer may be over according to the calendar but Ross and Rocky Lynch have completely captured the essence of sunny days and turned it into an album. They kick off the 11-track album with “Malibu” and it immediately has you bobbing your head. (This is not an exaggeration. I automatically danced in my seat.) Their music releases an insane amount of serotonin.… Read more » This week on Geek Girl Riot we chat with Raheem Mander about his creation Surian Seed. We also dive into some trainwrecks. But first, a message from Sherin about racism, police brutality, and the failed justice system in America. Political analyst and president and founder of Party Politics US, Atiba Madyun, talks about why Democrats must push to get rid of the filibuster.

Listening to new music can sometimes feel like déjà vu; many bands tend to stay within the comfortable bubble of their genre. Waterparks’ EP Cluster burst that bubble and the outcome is five songs that are both refreshing and infectious. The man who swore “to shake it up†is at it again, and in record time. When we received the news that Spencer was leaving due to personal concerns and Dallon would no longer be a creative component of the band it was disheartening to say the least, but Brendon Urie is back to let you know that he’s still up for a celebration.Paramore’s Hayley Williams Pens Letter to Her Younger Self
