The Dangerous Summer have shared their newest single “What’s An Hour Really Worth” via Rude Records off of their upcoming album Gravity. Life is short and unpredictable, and “What’s An Hour Really Worth” serves as a reminder to listeners to live as ferociously as possible. The track urges them to explore, to fail, to get up and keep pushing regardless of what happens. “‘This song came somewhat earlier on in the writing process. That original riff really sent us into the chase of this song,” explains vocalist AJ Perdomo. “The way all of the instruments push and pull really reminds me of a futuristic Reach For The Sun track. I remember when we reached the bridge, we really tried to switch it up. We try to set limitations to reach new ground sometimes, and the limitation we set was - no cymbals. Christian [Zawacki] really dug in and drove us home on that one. Happy that it is finally out.” “What’s An Hour Really Worth?” is available to stream now at HERE and with a new music video HERE The Dangerous Summer recently announced their newest album Gravity, set to be released on June 21 via Rude Records. The album features “What’s An Hour Really Worth” and the band’s previous single and title track “Gravity” alongside ten new era-defining tracks sure to please longtime fans of the band and new listeners alike.
Gravity is available to pre-save now with physical copies and other merch available to pre-order at Rude Records online.

"One of my favourite songwriters ever said “a good tune should take 30 minutes to write” and “No Backbone” certainly falls into that category. Once we finished it we went back a few times to see if we should add a part or bring more instrumentation/layers to the mix but whatever we did seemed to take away from the song rather than add to it. As time goes on I think as a band we are more and more drawn to do what excites us creatively in that moment and to do things we haven't done before. I’m not saying this song is reinventing the wheel by any means but having a tune that feels raw and stripped down with incredibly literal lyrics (haha) is something that feels new and fresh for us to put out.

April 5, 2024 – Ska alternative rock group, Sublime with Rome, announce their final album to be released on May 10th. This album is a culmination of the last fifteen years for the fans as a final farewell honoring the legacy of Sublime. As the final single to the album, Sublime with Rome have released “Love Is Dangerous” which is out now on all platforms. The band’s frontman Rome Ramirez says, “‘Love Is Dangerous’ explores the vulnerabilities we face when we love someone. As a touring musician, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, but writing this song was like therapy for me. It reminded me that life isn’t just about chasing success in my career or art—it’s about taking time to connect with the people I care about. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is slow down and really listen to our loved ones’ hearts.” In support of the final album the band recently announced The Farewell Tour kicking off April 11th. The touring members for this final leg will consist of Rome Ramirez, Joe Tomino on drums, Brian Allen (Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown) on bass, and Gabrial McNair (No Doubt, Green Day) on trombone/keys.

With raw vulnerability, Chappell bares her emotions, belting out an empowering anthem that explores leaving behind a romantic relationship and exploring authentic love and self-acceptance. Chappell shares, “I needed to write a song about a common situationship within queer relationships — where someone is struggling with coming to terms with themselves. It’s a song about wishing well to someone who is avoidant of their true feelings”. Listen HERE.
Proven as such with recent standout live performances at NPR’s Tiny Desk, MTV PUSH and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Chappell Roan is a musical powerhouse with an unstoppable trajectory, also highlighted with recent viral moments from interviews with ABC News Live and TIME Magazine.

It finds Aaron Bruno at his most vulnerable - written on piano at the very start of the pandemic, it reflects the overwhelming fear and uncertainty the world was facing. Speaking to his own unborn children at the time, the track sends an uplifting message of embracing the scariness while harnessing the inner strength to believe that everything will ultimately be alright. The music video, also out today, was directed by Darren Doane. Watch the music video for “Panoramic View” HERE or by clicking the image below. Stream “Panoramic View”: https://awolnation.ffm.to/pv Opening up about the heartfelt inspiration behind the track, Bruno shares: "I remember writing this one on a piano almost four years ago. It’s quite a sincere and profound song because I wrote it to my scared little kid that I didn't even have yet. I have twin boys now but we weren't pregnant yet when I wrote it. Basically, I’m saying I'll protect you, everything's gonna be okay. Back then, we all felt scared in some way, no matter who you were—whether you were fearful of being sick or of how governments were handling it, or how your friends were handling it, personal decisions… During that time, I was lyrically and emotionally conceptualizing the idea of writing songs to a child. And in some ways I was writing songs to comfort a younger version of myself. I guess the point is to remind us that we can always find an escape through music, even at the worst times.”
Listen to ‘Abyss’ HERE. Today, YUNGBLUD reveals a brand-new track titled ‘Abyss,’ serving as the exhilarating opening theme for Toho Animation’s highly anticipated anime series, Kaiju No. 8, based on the immensely popular manga comic series by Naoya Matsumoto. Recorded during YUNGBLUD’s tour in Japan last year, ‘Abyss’ was written specifically for the series, and describes the struggles of lead character Kafka Hibino (Kaiju No. 8). The song was co-written with Imagine Dragons’ front-man Dan Reynolds. Speaking about the track, YUNGBLUD reveals, "I think there are times when we feel that the world is cruel and not necessarily made for us. I think that's expressed very beautifully in the story, and it's really in line with what I'm trying to achieve myself. To find my place in the world, to find my friends. Don't suppress your hidden talents and power, even if you can't be proud of them yourself. Because everyone is beautiful."
Kaiju No. 8 will begin broadcasting and streaming on April 13 via Global anime streaming service Crunchyroll, bringing the highly anticipated anime series to fans all over the world in over 200 countries and territories. The new track follows YUNGBLUD’s recent announcement of the first ever BLUDFEST, a music festival founded by YUNGBLUD and set to take place Sunday, August 11 at the iconic Milton Keynes Bowl in the UK.

In anticipation of their upcoming record release, Chicago's rising rock band BELMONT has released a brand new, anthemic pop-punk single called "Dark Paradise." The track is featured on the band's forthcoming 3rd album, "Liminal," that's due out April 12th from Pure Noise Records. Discussing the new song, guitarist Jason Inguagiato says: "'Dark Paradise' is one of the more emotionally cathartic songs on the record. To me, it’s like the spiritual successor to 'Advanced Darkness,' the final track off our last record 'Aftermath.' The chorus melodically and harmonically has an uplifting energy to it while somehow still maintaining the somber and existential undertones that are characteristic of this record. To me, this song is a piece of the ‘Liminal’ puzzle that is irreplaceable.” Vocalist Taz Johnson adds about the lyrics: "'Dark Paradise' discusses the shame and regret behind living in a dissociative state and how it can leave you feeling vacant of emotion, like a stranger to those you love. The overwhelming feeling of nothingness that was once soothing becomes a fight for survival unless you learn to become comfortable with the uncomfortable.” Stream "Dark Paradise" HERE or by clicking the image below "Dark Paradise" is the latest in a string of singles, including "Liminal," "SSX Trickmont" and "All Bite," from BELMONT's eagerly awaited new record "LIminal," that exhibits the band's unique approach to rock and pop-punk and incredible catchy songwriting.
