The Luka State Drops New Single “Two Worlds Apart”

The Luka State is back with their latest single "Two Worlds Apart." Their upcoming album "More Than This" is set to be released on March 10 via Thirty Tigers. The band's Conrad Ellis shared that the song is about the inner battle we all face with our own minds. Feel like two completely different people, but grabbing life with two hands and taking control of it in a positive way. The lyrics of the album were shaped by the experiences of growing up in working-class towns like Winsford in the U.K., where opportunities may be limited, but finding positivity is crucial. Photo Credit: Rob Blackham With the help of Grammy Award-winning producer Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse, U2), The Luka State have hit the sweet spot that coexists between anthemic hooks, gnarly wall-of-sound guitars, a...

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.

Production duties were handled by Matthew Healy, George Daniel, and Jack Antonoff. Antonoff is known for his work with...

What would you do with your last day before the pandemic if you knew what was coming next? That's the question indie darling Beabadoobee ponders on her new single 'Last Day on Earth'.

In the spring of 2020 during an interview with Headliner, she spoke of her hopes of inspiring the n...
