Ninth Studio Album From Punk Rockers Rise Against Due This Summer

Chicago's Rise Against is back with freshly baked music and a new record to talk about. Nowhere Generation will be their first album of original material since 2017s Wolves. Expect a June 4 release on the streaming platforms and at your local record shop. Rise Against, hands down, was one of the most high-energy concert experiences of my life. They're on the shortlist of bands to see once larger events are deemed safe. In the meantime check out their latest tune 'Nowhere Generation. It's the second single from the new album after 'Broken Dreams, Inc.' was released last fall. Four years is a long time to wait between albums but based on the first two tracks, the wait is worth it. For updates, there are lots of places to follow Rise Against online like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook...

Two Acts That Will See a Bump In Popularity After 2021 Grammy Performances

The 63rd annual Grammy Awards took place Sunday night and winners were announced in each of the night's 83 categories. Taylor Swift took home the award for Album of the Year for Folklore while Billie Eilish won Record of the Year for 'Everything I Wanted'. The Trevor Noah hosted event included performances by everyone from Post Malone to Chris Martin of Coldplay. But there were two performances in particular that elevated both acts. Black Puma has been around since 2018 and has gaining in popularity over the last few years. They were up for two awards and while they didn't win, their performance of 'Colors' certainly turned some heads. The debut of Bruno Mars, Anderson. Paak project Silk Sonic will surely be talked about in the coming days and weeks. Both acts brought vintage vibe...

Orange County Rockers Junket Return To Action With ‘Red Handed’

It's the first single in 10 years for Orange County's Junket and it's well worth the wait. 'Red Handed' combines introspective melodies with intense layers of sound and just maybe the edge we need right now. The song is inspired by a popular Showtime Classic that just so happens to be making a comeback later this year. Dexter will return for a limited run but Junket's time is now. Made up of seasoned musicians Chris Wicher (vocals), Michael Miller (guitar), Kyle Hallenbeck (bass), and Chad Babcock (drums), they have channeled the spirit of actor Michael C. Hall on 'Red Handed'. According to frontman Wicher, although the song is inspired by the show, 'there’s enough ambiguity for any listener to come up with his or her own meaning that’s relatable to their lives'. 'Red Handed' was p...

Three Side Gigs For Travis Barker That Have Taken His Career To The Next Level

Travis Barker has been very busy outside of his day job with Blink 182 over the past year. He's been working with hip-hop artists, signing talent to his new record label, and producing hit records. As one of the most respected drummers on the scene, he's putting his clout to good use opening doors for a new generation of talent. His career has gone to a new level over the last year with room still left to grow. In April he showed up with Post Malone at the much-talked-about Nirvana tribute for COVID-19 relief. Barker along with Malone, bassist Brian Lee and guitarist Nick Mack raised more than $500,000 for those in need according to CNN. The 'Rockstar' rapper filled the shoes of the legendary Cobain putting his own spin on 80 minutes worth of Nirvana classics. Each of the musicians was...

HeIsTheArtist Drops New Single ‘Virgin’

HeIsTheArtist has a new powerful single, "Virgin" out now. The new song from the American Christian singer-songwriter from Central Islip, NY., expands the topic of temptation that was previously the center topic of his single, "The Snake Charmer" and his EP Adam & Eve. HeIsTheArtist says, 'Virgin' delves into the experience of a Catholic Nun taking a vow of abstinence and how difficult that is while living in a society where the temptation of sex is everywhere. The lyrics “It's you I like, it’s not me” references the promise that nuns make to rid themselves of all vanity in order to be able to focus fully on God’s work." HeIsTheArtist is influenced by the music of Kim Burrell, Carrie Underwood, Prince, and Michael Jackson. He considers himself an eclectic artist who merges differ...

The Long Wait For New Offspring Music Is Officially Over

Rumors have been swirling about a new album from The Offspring for nearly three years. The wait has come to an end with the release of the up-tempo 'Let The Bad Times Roll'. Along with the release of the new single, the full album is set for an April 16 release. The genre bending punk rockers formed in the mid-80s but it wasn't until their 1994 breakthrough album Smash did they become a near house hold name. Recent years have seen the band sell off the rights to their music for a cool $30 million and the unfortunate departure of longtime bassist Greg K. Dexter and Noodles will carry the band into their very respectable fifth decade of making music. They announced last year that the album was done and that they were looking for the right record label to release it to the public. ...

Five Reasons Why 2021 Will Be A Great Year For New Alt Music

The pandemic has led to a lot of downtime for bands and musicians in the absence of full touring schedules.
