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 well...

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 with...

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 Philadelphi...

Interview: Clyde & Gracie From The Band Lawrence

Lawrence has experienced a lot of firsts this year. First performance on national late-night television, their first Coachella performance and they're just getting warmed up. They'll be closing out the year in style with a trio of festival-style shows at Brooklyn Steel but more on that in a few moments. We had a chance interview Lawrence and catch up with Clyde and Gracie. Here's what they had to say. On The Success of "Don't Lose Sight" While Lawrence released "Don't Lose Sight" as a single in 2021, it's been taken to a different level of success. The acoustic version went viral earlier this year. And millions of views and streams later, the song has been exposed to a whole new audience. You may also have seen/heard it in a recent Microsoft commercial. Here's what Clyde and Gracie ...
