Charlotte Sands Releases New Single "Afterlife"

9/25/2025

Today, Charlotte Sands reveals her brand-new single, “Afterlife.” Building on the momentum of recent hits like “HUSH” and “neckdeep,” “Afterlife” further cements her reputation as a boundary-pushing force in alt-pop.

At once euphoric and haunting, "
Afterlife" explores love in its most eternal form. With soaring hooks, electrified production, and undeniable emotional depth, it's an anthem for anyone who’s ever believed in soulmates, fate, or the infinite pull of love.


“It’s about a connection so deep it feels eternal, like your souls have met a thousand times before, in every universe and across every timeline,” Charlotte shares. “It’s about the rare and beautiful certainty that no matter what this lifetime holds, you’ll always find your way back to each other again — in the next life, and in every one after that.” 

Known for her genre-blurring sound, radical honesty, and electric live shows, Charlotte Sands has built a dedicated cult following by turning vulnerability into empowerment. Her music soundtracks the highs and lows of growing up, pairing emotional intensity with massive, singalong-ready hooks.

Since making her debut in 2018, Charlotte has charted in the U.S. Top 40 for over 15 weeks, won 'Best Breakthrough Album' at the Heavy Music Awards, and has amassed over 300 million global streams — all while remaining a fully independent artist. She’s shared the stage with acts like My Chemical Romance, 5 Seconds of Summer, and YUNGBLUD, and in 2024, she embarked on a highly successful global headline tour in support of her album, 
can we start over?. This summer, she headlined idobi Radio’s Summer School Tour alongside Rain City Drive and Taylor Acorn.

With her bright blue hair, Y2K-inspired style, and magnetic presence, the LA-based artist has cemented herself as an alt-pop it girl. But behind the bold aesthetic is a fiercely hands-on artist—designing her own merch and jewelry, crafting her signature makeup looks, and creative directing all her visuals. Fearlessly herself in every detail, Charlotte Sands is a one-of-a-kind artist who continues to defy expectations.

Listen to Breach HERE
GRAMMY-winning rock sensation Twenty One Pilots have scored their second #1 record with new album Breach, out now via Atlantic Records. This marks the band’s first #1 in a decade, when they topped the charts with 2015’s 6x-Platinum smash Blurryface. With 200,000 equivalent album units earned, Breach also marks the biggest Rock debut of the decade and the biggest in 6 years.

Amassing 169,000 pure album sales 40.68M on-demand streams, this marked the best streaming week and biggest debut of the band’s career. Twenty One Pilots also earned the largest vinyl sales week for a Rock album since tracking began in 1991. The record debuted at #1 on Spotify globally and in the United States, #1 iTunes in the United States, and the band notched the #1 trending video on YouTube with “City Walls.”

Breach wraps up the intricate story the band has told across their last four albums, coming to an epic close with the cinematic, 10-minute video for album opener “City Walls,” directed by Jensen Noen. The record also features singles “Drum Show” and “The Contract,” which marked the biggest song debut of the band’s career, reaching #1 at Alternative Airplay, and receiving a nomination for Best Rock at the 2025 MTV VMAs.

Twenty One Pilots just kicked off THE CLANCY TOUR: BREACH 2025 last week with a sold out show at Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium.

 Multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductees Aerosmith (Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer) and British multi-platinum, award-winning rockstar Yungblud have announced today details on their forthcoming collaborative EP titled One More Time. 

Out on November 21 via Capitol Records, One More Time marks Aerosmith’s first new music in over 12 years. Produced by Matt Schwartz, One More Time features 4 original tracks co-written by Aerosmith and Yungblud (with both frontmen sharing the vocals), as well as a fiery 2025 mix of the classic “Back In The Saddle.”

The One More Time EP artwork was designed exclusively by Chrome Hearts’ Joe Foti, a first for the luxury brand, and is available now to pre-order digitally as well as limited-edition vinyl. 

Pre-order/pre-save One More Time EP HERE.
 
Also revealed today, “My Only Angel,” the first track released by the music legends and one of the most prevalent young voices in rock, available now on all digital platforms and with an accompanying visual. Opening with Tyler’s towering vocals a cappella as he asks, “Will you cry, if I called you my angel? Would you leave me one more time?”  the track awash in delay, loose guitar echoes over a steady beat, a rumbling bassline, and strains of soft piano. Yungblud and Tyler lean into the refrain’s hypnotic harmony until a signature Perry fret-burning solo takes hold, underscoring the chemistry between two generations of rock.

THORNHILL Share New Single "Mercia" As US Tour With SLEEP TOKEN Kicks off

9/17/2025

Australia’s genre-blurring heavyweights Thornhill have dropped brand new single and music video, “Mercia” today. The release comes as the band step onto U.S. arena stages as direct support for Sleep Token’s completely sold-out Even in Arcadia tour which kicked off last night in Atlanta. Equal parts searing and sorrowful, “Mercia” continues the visceral emotional streak of the band’s most recent album, BODIES (released April of this year via UNFD) whilst holding the line as a stand alone release and a testament to the band's perpetual commitment to pushing their artistic boundaries.

Stream "
Mercia" HERE and watch the accompanying short film co-directed by vocalist Jacob Charlton and Jon Pisani HERE.

Speaking on today's release, Charlton shares
“'Mercia’ is a song about loving someone lost in their own abyss. It speaks to the ache of giving everything—warmth, devotion, even the hope of carrying their pain—only to be met with silence and defences, by ‘vaults’ and ‘ice’. At its heart, the song is about the futility of trying to heal what resists healing, and the way that struggle leaves you altered, hardened, and haunted. By the close, the speaker admits they are sinking under the weight of their beloved’s spectre. They’ve been hardened by the experience — so much so that they can’t offer mercy anymore.”
Picture
“Mercia” offers a devastating exploration of love, loss, and the emotional wreckage left behind. The new track arrives in the wake of Thornhill’s most expansive and globally resonant release to date - their 2025 full-length BODIES, which debuted at #4 on the ARIA Albums Chart, #8 on Spotify UK’s Top Album Debuts, and secured Top 40 entries across multiple Billboard U.S. charts, including Hard Music, Rock, and Independent Albums. With over 107 million streams, 15M+ YouTube views, and a rapidly growing U.S. fanbase, Thornhill’s momentum has now become undeniable.

Now, Thornhill will take “Mercia” and BODIES on the road, as they perform to over 200,000 fans across 17 sold-out U.S. arenas on Sleep Token’s Even in Arcadia tour, which started in Atlanta last night and will wrap in Los Angeles on October 11th.

I PREVAIL RELEASE NEW SINGLE “ANNIHILATE ME”

8/15/2025

Today, the two-time GRAMMY-nominated rock band I Prevail released the new single “Annihilate Me.” This is the fourth single off their upcoming record, Violent Nature, set for release 19th September 2025 via Fearless Records. With the news, they put out an accompanying lyric video you can watch HERE or by clicking the image below.
Picture
With a slow-burn intensity that erupts into a cathartic chorus, “Annihilate Me” showcases I Prevail at their most emotionally raw and sonically powerful. The track builds with haunting precision before unleashing a hard-hitting, anthemic release that fans of heavy music will feel in their bones. With emotional depth and explosive energy, this isn't just another rock song, it’s a purge.

Frontman Eric Vanlerberghe shared his thoughts on the new track below: 
“‘Annihilate Me’ feels like one of the most I Prevail songs on the album. It’s about opening yourself up over and over again only to keep getting cut down, but regardless of how many times you’ve been pushed down you’re going to push yourself further - even if that means your own annihilation.”

Previous singles off the record include the vulnerable track “Rain,” the steadfast anthem “Into Hell,” and their heaviest song to date, “Violent Nature.” These singles mark a major turning point for the band as they usher in a new chapter with Vanlerberghe as the only lead singer tackling both clean and unclean vocals.

BEARINGS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM 'COMFORT COMPANY'

​BEARINGS have today announced their brand new album 'Comfort Company' out 7th November 2025 via Pure Noise Records.

Speaking about the upcoming record, frontman Doug Cousins said, “Comfort Company is for us the record that feels like coming back home. Some songs we wrote at a cottage together, others came from a basement. They all started somewhere honest and ended up back at the studio where we did our first album in the East End of Toronto. This album was working on music all day, walking to the beer store, then heading back to the windowless studio to relax before reading Kurt Vonnegut and eventually falling asleep on an air mattress. As we worked out what we wanted it to sound like we found ourselves wanting to make music that felt natural to us, something that we knew we’d connect with and be able to spill out on stage when the time came to perform it.”

 To celebrate the  upcoming album the band have release new single and video 'Quick Release'.

On the new single, Cousins added, “Quick Release for us embodies our time as a band. Years of hard work, years of touring different countries together, all the good and the bad. An acceptance of doing music - or really anything you love - just to do it, because it’s yours and because it’s what you love.”

HOT MULLIGAN UNVEIL NEW SINGLE “ISLAND IN THE SUN”

​Today, post-emo rising stars Hot Mulligan release their Midwest emo-tinged single and video “Island in the Sun (feat. Cory Castro of Free Throw)” via Wax Bodega. This is the second offering from their highly anticipated fourth full-length LP, The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still, to be released on 22nd August. Furthermore, the band will be heading to the UK and Europe in September to support Pierce The Veil.
LISTEN TO “ISLAND IN THE SUN” HERE
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “ISLAND IN THE SUN” HERE
​“Island in the Sun” feat. Cory Castro of Free Throw is a raw, self-aware track that continues to showcase Hot Mulligan’s unmatched ability to transform brutal angst into punk catharsis. Anchored by gritty vocals and a spiraling sense of collapse, the song chronicles a night of self-destruction and dissociation over unexpectedly upbeat instrumentals. 

​The band’s signature blend of brutal honesty and melodic chaos shines through lyrics like “I want to want nothing / To forget what I need to change,” capturing the numb desperation of trying to outdrink regret. The accompanying music video directed by Michael Herrick waves together candid tour footage, offering a glimpse into the raw, unfiltered energy that fuels Hot Mulligan’s world. 

In addition to bold riffs and careful sonic nuances that fans know and love, the album is chock full of addressing fears, screaming unfiltered vulnerabilities, and finding solace in the fact that regardless of the uncertainty of the future, we exist in this moment. Despite the subject matter, Hot Mulligan strike a balance between sincerity and humour, and find the light moments of comfort, even when it feels impossible.

CHAPPELL ROAN RELEASES LONG AWAITED STUDIO VERSION OF NEW SINGLE “THE SUBWAY”

8/1/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
Global pop sensation Chappell Roan has released one of the most anticipated songs in her growing discography—the official studio recording of her new single “The Subway”, out now on Amusement / Island Records. A gut-wrenching ballad that fans have been clamoring for since she began performing it live last summer, “The Subway”, produced by and co-written with Daniel Nigro, is another immaculately crafted home run that puts Roan’s once-in-a-generation talent at the forefront. The song tells the story of the quiet heartbreak of literal and metaphorical missed romantic connections and the pain that endures through the small daily reminders everywhere. Lyrically at her utmost vulnerable, Roan cleverly captures the disorienting grief of moving on with some of her most heart-felt songwriting yet and a vocal performance that defies any expectations. Her flair for the dramatic reverberates as her gentle soprano musings turn into full volume iconic catchphrases, “I made a promise, if in four months this feeling ain’t gone, well f*ck this city, I’m moving to Saskatchewan!”. Fans started to catch on that the long awaited single would soon be released as posters, murals and red tresses were spotted around New York last week and a video of a moving truck in Saskatchewan went viral. Yesterday, Roan launched a limited edition copper metallic 7” that quickly sold out, featuring “The Subway” (Side A) and previously unreleased “I Hate It Here”(demo) (Side B).

LISTEN TO “THE SUBWAY” HERE

Alongside, the song comes Roan’s most ambitious official video yet, shot on location in Manhattan, New York. Directed by Amber Grace Johnson (Jorja Smith, FKA Twigs, Lolo Zouaï), “The Subway” video is a high-camp love letter to New York and the one that got away, all shot on 35mm film. Throughout the video, Roan’s famous red locks are shed, exposing the lovelorn singer in iconic New York moments, doing anything but blending in and literally getting dragged. On the subway she sees ghosts of her past and visions of her future self; in the outside world, she is plagued with garbage and rats but still remains in pursuit of that once special feeling.
