If you’re not kicking your feet and grinning ear to ear by the end of Michael Clifford’s new music video for “give me a break!” featuring Waterparks, then it clearly wasn’t made for you. The 5 Seconds Of Summer guitarist leans into the chaos, charm, and outrageousness of fan fiction on the collaborative track. “I’d been really wanting to create something unique with Awsten and Waterparks,” Clifford shares. “Awsten became my person that I would vent to about different things in life and I think that that’s the kind of the energy that this song has. It’s very authentic to… Read more »
After releasing “your name forever,” a heartfelt tribute to the late Luke “The Dingo” Trembath, mgk (formerly Machine Gun Kelly) returns with “cliché” — a sharp pivot into a much more pop-leaning sound with a rock undercurrent. The track trades the grit of his earlier pop-punk output for polished hooks over a driving beat, signaling a new sonic direction rooted more in melody than distortion. Don’t even get me STARTED on how deeply that chorus has already burrowed into my head. Ahead of its official release, “cliché” made headlines when mgk was seen driving through Hollywood with the unreleased song… Read more »
Honey Revenge has officially entered a bold new hair-a, err, era wink wink. Dropping today alongside the kickoff of their headline run on The Loving And Losing Tour, their latest single “Risk” signals a fresh chapter for the duo. Fans first got a taste of the track during their April 13 set in Australia, where it made its surprise live debut. “Risk is our fuck around and find out moment,” vocalist Devin Papadol shares. “We’re trying to take chances in this next phase as a band. The entire premise of the song is without discomfort there is no growth, and… Read more »
House Of Protection, aka Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, dazzled new fans with their debut EP GALORE in September 2024, and they’re finally ready to show off their sophomore EP Outrun You All. Fresh off their tour with Poppy, the veteran hardcore duo is making all their wildest sonic dreams come true as they intertwine their heavy roots with jump-inducing trip-hop sonics. There are few, if any other, alternative acts who are putting so much time and care into creating a live show that kindles a fire (no pun intended) in each of their listeners. On their seven-track Outrun You All, House… Read more »
LØLØ dives into her writing process—both for herself and with other artists—and how stepping into someone else’s creative brain can break writer’s block wide open. She talks about the song she just had to keep for herself (“u & the tin man”), her love for Taylor Swift, and the dream collaborations she’s still manifesting (Green Day, YUNGBLUD, and more).
From sneaking Easter eggs into her music and videos to building a Wizard Of Oz universe on her album and on stage—complete with a yellow brick road—LØLØ reveals how her favorite movies fuel her creativity (yes, she’s that girl who still checks the mailbox for a Hogwarts letter. Can you blame her?!)
The conversation covers everything from her Halloween stage outfits to shouting out icons like Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff, Maggie Lindemann, and the legacy of Warped Tour acts like Simple Plan and New Found Glory—plus a moment of gratitude for being discovered by NFG’s Chad Gilbert.
LØLØ also gets candid about not being allowed to go to concerts as a kid (“Hi, Mom!”) and how surreal it is to now be part of the very scene she grew up idolizing. And yes—she’s ready to play “Hot Girls In Hell” on Warped Tour… even if she wrote a song called “Poser” just in case.
Good Terms have released their new song, “Progress,” preceded by their 2025 cover of “Call Me” by Blondie and 2024 LP Burnout. Uniquely, the song is partly inspired by frontman Brian McShea and his fiancée Stephanie Raynor, who, unfortunately, lost their home in the devastating California wildfires earlier this year—but they did find their engagement ring! A recent press release notes that “the outpouring of love and support reminded the couple and their extended Good Terms family of the importance of community.” Of “Progress,” the band shared on social media, “Sometimes I feel so close to the edge of failure… Read more »
Ahead of their massive summer/fall tour supporting The Story So Far, Neck Deep has launched their latest offering, “You Should See Me Now.” The Will Yip-produced release arrives just in time for the Welsh group’s performance at Slam Dunk Fest in the UK this weekend. “‘You Should See Me Now’ is a song about hard work, self-belief, the struggle through adversity and proving people wrong,” frontman Ben Barlow shares. “As a band, we’ve always been pretty humble and shied away from too much self-aggrandisement, but this felt like a good way of showing a little pride, and hopefully people can… Read more »
Spanish Love Songs has revealed the acoustic version of “Pendulum” from their No Joy Sessions. The acoustic album reinvents tracks from 2023’s No Joy LP, adding new depth to the beloved songs. Lead vocalist Dylan Slocum notes, “This version of ‘Pendulum’ is a bit closer to the original song we scrapped in the studio — upbeat and driving. Speeding it up always changed how I would read or react to the lyrics. It softens them a bit, and I think it is why we ultimately slowed it down for the album. But I always loved both, so it’s nice to… Read more »
