Chicago’s Friday Pilots Club has finally unleashed their new song collection EP1, featuring previously released single, “YOU CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING.” One of their new offerings, “WHAT’S THE POINT OF STOPPING NOW?” is the nuanced, introspective rock song we all deserve right now. Frontman Caleb Hiltunen notes of the track, “Although this song starts with ‘you’re so insecure,’ it is in no way some adolescent diss track. A lot of the verses are meant to be read in quotations as the song weaves in and out of 1st and 3rd person while spinning a tale about how far grief can… Read more »

People were actually… Read more »
Gritty. Unbridled. Raw. These are just a few words of many you can use to describe sister duo Girl Tones on the release day of their debut album Precious. Hailing from Bowling Green, KY, Kenzie Shultz and Laila Crow weren’t always seeking out the rockstar life. In fact, they cut their teeth as classical musicians, studying cello and piano. Luckily, transitioning into electric guitar, drums, and gritty riot grrrl-esque vocals was seamless. The duo effortlessly balances delicate indie melodies with fierce, grunge-laced sonics across all ten of their tracks. It’s nothing short of a dazzling and perfect debut project. And… Read more »

It is obvious that Full Throttle is inspired by the likes of bands like Sum 41, blink-182, New Found Glory, and more—it only makes sense they’d tap a pop-punk legend like Cone to bring this song to life. Cone not only features on the track, but he also co-wrote and produced “Generation of Tomorrow.” It is inspiring to see someone like Cone, who has… Read more »
