If this is a monster, we want to be scared. Really. Monsta X is one of the K Pop machine’s finest creations. The frightening thing here is how scary-good the music is. Pop perfection. The perfect image The perfect look. “You Can’t Hold My Heart” is another single that has Monbebes (the nickname for fans of the band) all quivering with love… We just want to sit around with these boys and give each facial masks, and manis and watch Netflix. They’re supposed to do a string of North American dates in June. That damned Coronavirus better be sent packin’ by then. But we have a feeling nothing can come between Monbebes and their bae. We complicate things. We get in our own way. If we had a more simplistic approach to life and loving ourselves, we’d be happier. That’s the gist of The Head and The Heart’s “See You Through My Eyes”. How many times have we muffed something from overthinking? Or thinking our baggage will ruin everything? We all have baggage. So, let’s move on.. This all could be so easy… Like what you read here?

When you mess with a drama queen, you get a big headache and broken heart. But when Coin sings this tale of woe in “Crash My Car”, a love encounter with a drama queen might be fun—even through the damage. The lightness of this track, paired with some group vocalizing make this a fun ditty about someone you claim you don’t want to encounter. Let’s face it. We all have a little drama within...

Morgxn bares his soul on his latest single “A New Way.” While many artists inject a part of themselves into their work, this song is all about the singer’s struggles with bullying, coming-out, and life’s b.s.—but it’s presented in a way that anyone can identify with. The theme of the song: you can feel hurt, and scared, but you shouldn’t let that stop you from trying to make the world a better place. Morgxn received a lot of hate after the release of his song “Holy Water”—because he wore a dress in the video and painted his nails. Uh…. Perhaps some of these spewing tools are not familiar with glam rock, or the late Prince—in all his androgyny and high-heeled-booted glory. Anywho, “A New Way” is pretty darned cool. Be you.

Such is the case with Asking Alexandria's "Vultures." You can feel the pain in lead singer Danny Worsnop’s vocal. Dude has lived what he’s singing. People wanting to take it all, and then take even more. Guess we’ve all been there. Crank this one when you need to release some angst. Because straight-up slapping someone could get you in trouble with the law… Like what you read here?

If you’re jonesin’ for a song with a killer vibe, then get a load of The Blue Stones “Be My Fire.” All vibe and wanton with desire, this tune fulfills all that head-bobbin’ criteria. The duo is from Canada. That’s about all the intel we got. They’re new to the music game, but *this close* to blowin’ up large. So, ask someone you’re interested in to be your flame. It might just work. Like what you read here? Click on the HOME page and subscribe today to unlock premium, members-only content—some of which you won’t find any place else on the internet! Start with your FREE 10-day trial. Boston Manor ain’t having it. They’ve grown a lot since their 2016 debut, and now they’re taking a stab at everything—including their lazy generation. “My generation is financially and culturally barren,” said vocalist Henry Cox. “We can’t afford to buy a house, we’re very much paying the price for our parents’ generation’s mistakes, but at the same time too f*cking lazy and distracted and comfortable to do anything about it.” Welcome to the Neighbourhood is their latest album, one that examines poverty, crime and drug addiction. Their song, “Halo” is about the scourge of heroin. When you’re felling the "blahs" because the weather just won’t cooperate, put this one on from Cayucas. “Jessica WJ” is still reminiscent of the surf rock that brought twins Zach and Ben Yudin notoriety, but with a little more rock action. Still sunny. Still tasty. The track chronicles a bass-playing friend from high school and the regret of thinking about “what could have been.” Ah, yes. We’ve all fallen down that rabbit hole at one point or another in our lives. Note: Is it us, or does the name Cayucas sound like someone in a hacking fit? Watch that post-nasal drip… The Revivalists will make your head bop back and forth with their tune “Change”. We instantly feel funky-fresh and cool-cat when we listen to this one. It’s like going to the Church of Music and getting a sermon on how to be awesome. It’s an old-school vibe mashed with modern musicality. Cruise down the road with a grin on your face. Because a grin is cool-cat. A full-on smile is too much for this tune. Now that that is out of the way. Let’s focus on their promo picture. First, how did they get Howard Stern to sit up in this tree? Second, we love how no one is looking at the camera, except for the one guy in the back. Notice his shades are crooked? Punishment for looking at the camera! Third, what are these two guys on the left conveying to each other? “Dude, can’t believe we have to do all these promo shots and look aloof. I just want a Wendy’s Baconator.” “Dude, I think I got a rash.” Not cool-cat. |
