The Coronas New Album And U.S. Tour Dates Announced

Irish indie pop-rockers The Coronas will release their seventh studio album this fall. Along with the release of TIME STOPPED they'll return to the US for a number of shows as part of their upcoming world tour. Photo by Lucy Foster The band was around long before the pandemic set in. But it's certainly unfortunate they share a common name with COVID. They'll address it head-on with the release of TIME STOPPED on October, 7th with an album full of hopeful music. Check out their latest single "Strive" and let us know in the comment section what you think. We're enjoying the distinctly 1980s groove. And we're a sucker for synths and saxophone solos so this one is going right onto the playlist. In Studio Lead singer Danny O'Reilly, guitarist Graham Knox, and drummer Conor Eg...

Alone On A Hill Cover Art Frontman Brian Aubert has been quoted saying the band took a different approach to record the new album. More insight on that can be found here. Moninger is the focal point of both the song and music video and she had this to say about the process. This song exposes a side I didn’t know I had in me. It felt freeing, especially with everything going on in the past couple of years. I’m grateful...

Tribeca Film Festival 2022 Dispatch (Reviews)

The 21st annual Tribeca Film Festival has been been going on since June 8. The in-person portion of the event has ended, but the online "at home" programming continues through this weekend.

All of the films featured below had their World Premiere at Tribeca and are available to rent online for $15/each and are viewable through the Tribeca At Home app until Sunday, June 26.

New Mayday Parade Single Released Ahead Of Busy Summer Tour

An introspective new Mayday Parade single called "Losing My Mind" is available now. The band is gearing up for a busy summer with dates in the UK followed by a full US tour. "Losing My Mind" is an outtake from their 2021 studio release What It Means To Fall Apart. They teamed up with multi-platinum producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount on the project. According to co-vocalist/drummer Jake Bundrick, the song is 'about being alone and missing the one that got away.' I think we've all been there. The one-shot visualizer accompanying the single release might make you a little hungry. That is if you like cake. You can check that out below if you like. Mayday Parade teamed up with Dark Hearth (AFI, Tony Hawk) on the visuals. The first 3+ minutes show the cake being made and is oddly ...

The Blue Stones Announce Coast To Coast Tour

In their highly anticipated return to the road, The Blue Stones have announced a big summer tour that will visit cities and towns coast to coast. Hidden Gems is their second full-length release and you can expect to hear plenty of music from that and their debut album Black Holes. The Blue Stones are a dynamic rock and roll duo. The full sound coming from guitarist Tarek Jafar and Justin Tessier can be deceiving. Mainly because it sounds like there are twice as many if not more people in the group. On Hidden Gems, they teamed with Mutemath frontman Paul Meany. Sure, his band is awesome but he's gained an immense amount of respect in recent years as a producer too. Most notably for his work with Twenty One Pilots on their Trench album as well as the one-off single "Level of Concern...
