“Something Loud” Is Jimmy Eat World At Its Best

Jimmy Eat World's latest single "Something Loud" is available wherever you listen to music. The track features all the hallmarks of a classic Jimmy Eat World song. Opening with punchy guitar riffs, incorporating dynamic instrumental elements throughout, and with the finishing touch of melodic, heartfelt vocals from Jim Adkins. Photo Credit: Jimi Giannatti "Something Loud" was co-produced by Jimmy Eat World and Justin Meldal-Johnson. The song is new but it feels like something that could have been written in the early days of the band. In fact, it was the excitement surrounding the announcement of October's When We Were Young Festival that inspired Adkins. The reaction brought about a time of intense emotional and professional contemplation which he channeled into "Something Lou...

Silversun Pickups have teamed with legendary producer Butch Vig on their sixth studio album Physical Thrills. The album drops on August 19th and features the uptempo lead single "Scared Together'. Credit: Claire Marie Vogel Frontman Brian Aubert wrote the material at a time when his focus wasn't on the band. During the pandemic, his biggest priority was taking care of his son while his wife worked. He shares his thoughts on the project. "This record is alive. It sits somewhere in between a collection of songs and an imaginary friend. A friend that from March of 2020 to April of 2021 would not only introduce itself to me but keep me company through that time of intense isolation. A friend that would remind me that in this instance, the whole world was feeling the same way as wel...

The 1975 Tease New Album Release With “Part Of The Band” Single

The 1975 continue to evolve with the release of their new single "Part Of The Band." The song will be included on their new album Being Funny In A Foreign Language which is set for release this fall. Credit: Samuel Bradley Don't expect a return to the synth-pop vibe of previous releases like Notes On A Conditional Form. Frontman Matt Healy plays acoustic guitar and the band is backed by a string section and dueling saxophones. The lyrical content is introspective and a little bit snarky. And when you combine these elements, it just works. The 1975 huddled up at Real World Studios in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, and Electric Lady Studios in New York City to record. Production duties were handled by Matthew Healy, George Daniel, and Jack Antonoff. Antonoff is known for his work wit...

Welcome to the Church of Saint Slumber.

Last month, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Malibu x Saint Slumber x Moonroof live show in Philly. Needless to say, it was an incredible time. To tell you the truth, I was only familiar with one band going in: Saint Slumber. I've been following them since 2020. And by following, I mean that they haven't left my "On Repeats" since November 14, 2020. I had never seen them live before, but they topped my concert bucket list. So I was pretty excited for this one, folks. I was almost nervous-- how do you prepare for a show that's got YEARS of anticipation behind it? And on their end, having been away from the stage for over 800 days-- how can a band meet fan expectations after all this time? But the only question I had leaving Philadelph...

Nothing More’s Spirits Album Drops October 14th

Rockers Nothing More has announced the pre-order for their new album. The highly anticipated "Spirits" is set for release on October 14th. Accompanying the announcement is the release of the lyric video for the hard-rocking title track. Photo Credit: Jody Domingue 'The new single follows the successful "Turn It Up Lie (Stand In The Fire)" and "Tired of Winning". "Spirits" has everything to do with alcohol according to frontman Jonny Hawkins. When you drink liquor, it has been said that you are welcoming that pneuma (spirit) into your body. Most of us have seen and experienced how alcohol (or rather ‘al-ghawl,’ which means demon/spirit) can make us feel. It’s almost as if we turn into someone else when too much of the spirit has been consumed. Sometimes it’s eye opening and can ...
