Nick Karcher Asks “ARE THE KIDS OKAY?” On New Protest Single

Nick Karcher has never shied away from saying what needs to be said. On his latest single, “ARE THE KIDS OKAY?,” he delivers a blistering statement dressed in new-age shock rock. Following the buzz of his earlier tracks “In Another Life” and “Not Another Song Called Perfect,” Karcher now takes aim at the political and social hypocrisy shaping a generation. Produced by Michael Bono (Avril Lavigne, blink-182, MOD SUN), “ARE THE KIDS OKAY?” is as infectious as it is infuriated. With sharp hooks and whip-smart lines like “Doctor, I can’t seem to fall asleep/Cause my teacher says bullets help you… Read more »

ICE arrests have broken innocent families apart, and in most cases, those being deported have no criminal record (or are actual American citizens). Countless pieces of legislation were introduced or passed that take direct aim at the LGBTQ+ community. Federal workers were laid off en masse, the genocide in Palestine rages on, and this is merely scratching the surface. Refer back, even further, to 2023 when SCOTUS overturned… Read more »

However, celebrating who you are and who you love is an act of resistance!

After making a searing return with her first solo release in years—“POPSICLE”—a venom-laced anthem that marks a powerful reassertion of identity, rage, and creative control, Lilith Czar has dropped the Edgar Allan Poe-inspired video. From its opening lines (“You two-faced son of a bitch / You fucking make me sick”), she wastes no time reclaiming her voice, launching straight into a snarling chorus that reads like a warning: “Easy rocking bomb pop / Gonna make your heart stop.” “‘The Portrait’ video for ‘POPSICLE’ was inspired by Poe’s The Oval Portrait – a story about obsession and how it drains the… Read more »
