Jukebox The Ghost Cheers Deluxe: New Tracks and Piano Interpretations

Jukebox the Ghost is set to release a deluxe version of their 2022 studio album Cheers. The piano pop trio is known for its catchy and clever pop songs with theatrical undertones. The deluxe version features four new piano interpretations and two new tracks and is set for release on April 7 via BMG.

"Black Sheep" will appear on Dogma and is set to be released on April 28th via Rise Records.

All Hail The Queen: Scene Queen Refuses to be Silenced with “18+”

"Fuck the Scene, I'm The Queen!" Last Friday, "bimbocore" artist Scene Queen dropped a new single that I haven't been able to stop thinking about: "18+". The song addresses the state of the alt rock/emo scene in the most poignant-yet-accessible way. If you're a fan of this type of music--or grew up in "the scene"--don't skip this one. It's fun to listen to... and it's going to give you plenty to think about. If anyone deserves the title "Scene Queen", it is most definitely this 25-year-old artist, as proven by this witty new bop. Check out "18+" by Scene Queen on Spotify, below: https://open.spotify.com/album/6oveIE1VtjcawBs2UlM3Mn?si=MUdiUjBiQcCiVy3Bj2p-tw "18+" is a fast favorite. This song has the accessibility of a nursery rhyme, but also has the i...
