Marking their first new music of 2024 and perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day, Loveless has unleashed their infectious new single, “Addicted.” And yes, yes we are. While the track explores emotional dependency culminating in addiction (“I lie to you again/She said is it gonna be alright?”), the accompanying music video depicts a life of lush luxury reined in by the group’s success. The portrayal sees vocalist/frontman Julian Comeau and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Tirapelli-Jamail indulge in a life of excess after signing away their artistry to a room of execs. Of course, the standout moment of the track is a seemingly subtle… Read more »
On February 10, Paramore announced that they have been named as Ambassadors for Record Store Day 2024. “The discovery of music was always meant to be romantic. Indie record shops are some of the only spaces we’ve at that offer tangible, tactile experience of music discovery,” the band said in an Instagram post. “In this world that feels more disconnected and hostile than ever, it feels important to remain in touch (literally) with what inspires us, empowers us. or simply brings us joy. Thankfully, for all our sakes, there still survives among the chaos, the purity and radical simplicity of… Read more »
Hawthorne Heights’ hearts aren’t always in Ohio. The emo act announced the Behind The Tears Tour to celebrate 20 years of their first album, The Silence In Black And White. Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 9 at 10 AM local time. The spring run isn’t going to be the usual show set-up, though.

The flyer for it says it’ll be “An emotional musical journey designed to peel back the years and tears.” Their first LP, which boasts their single, “Niki FM,”… Read more »
As A24 Music kicks off their Talking Heads tribute album, Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense, Paramore has unveiled their cover of “Burning Down The House.” This tribute album, an homage to the Talking Heads’ legacy, shares its namesake with Jonathan Demme’s concert film and the accompanying 1984 album, both capturing the allure of the band’s live performances at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre over four nights in the winter of 1983. Paramore’s cover is just the first glimpse into the talent featured on Everyone’s Getting Involved. The tribute album boasts contributions from the likes of Blondshell,… Read more »

GHØSTKID has announced a new album, Hollywood Suicide, and dropped the first single from the record, “FSU.” The new full-length comes out on March 22 via Century Media Records, ahead of their upcoming spring tour with Black Veil Brides, Creeper, and Dark Divine. The post-hardcore act embodies an edgy and (positively) offensive realness that hasn’t been in the scene for a bit. Dramatic make-up, masks at times, but overall, they appear like varieties of the undead, especially in the music video for the new single. All of which makes GHØSTKID stand out as new proverours in the genre. Vocalist Sebastian… Read more »
Dallon Weekes is dancing into the new year with I Don’t Know How But They Found Me’s latest single, “Infatuation.” This comes ahead of their upcoming sophomore album, GLOOM DIVISION, which is set to release on February 23 via Concord Records. The companion video for the new iDKHOW track exudes a creepy, mirror-house vibe that elevates the initial lyrics to create an eerie, devotional message. A boppy introduction to the song draws a parallel to a nostalgic reminiscence of the 2010s indie-sleaze sound that has been on the comeback. The opening lyrics, “I need you now/But it’s infatuation/Love is my… Read more »

Indie-rock group, Mom Jeans has surprised us all today by dropping a new album, Bear Market. Technically the songs aren’t new, but the sound and execution is entirely fresh. Bear Market consists of sixteen popular Mom Jeans tracks completely re-imagined and re-worked into beautiful, new versions. The band has even given each track a different name, while still paying tribute to the original title. For example, “Edward 40Hands” is now just “40 hands“, “Death Cup” is now “death by cup“, and “What’s Up?” is now “wassup 😉.” We love the clever approach – recognizable but easily differentiated. “We had all… Read more »
