Wake up, besties…Joyce Manor is back after three years away! Marking their grand return since 2022’s LP 40 oz. to Fresno, the group has unleashed “All My Friends Are So Depressed,” via Epitaph Records.

Ahead of their festival sets at Lollapalooza and Warped Tour Orlando, People R Ugly have unleashed their new single, “THINKIN BOUT YOU.” Infused with dance-inducing indie vocals, groovy basslines, and a soulful bridge, you’ll be dancing away thoughts about your shitty ex in no time. The quartet shares, “The meaning behind ‘THINKIN BOUT YOU’ is simple. When your head isn’t filled with memories of an ex, you’re way better off.

This past Vans Warped Tour weekend was jam-packed with thrilling bands, rad skateboarders (including the Tony Hawk), and surprise guests. In fact, The Paradox, who just released their new single “Bender” featuring Travis Barker, invited up the blink-182 drummer to their set. And yes—it was simply iconic. The quartet, who jokingly call themselves “Black-182,” had Barker onstage to help them cover blink-182’s “The Rock Show,” and we all fell in love. Then, the group played their latest high-octane, party-inducing track “Bender.” Frankly, it’s impossible not to dance to this group, especially when watching their rager of a music video.
