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.

Because it’s… good. This may be their debut single, but they’re no newbies. Twin XL is the brainchild of songwriters/producers Cameron Walker, Stephen Gomez, and John Gomez. The dudes cut their musical teeth in other bands, would run into each other at random gigs and events, and eventually decided to hang in the studio one day and see what became of it. Glad it happened. “Good” has a Fitz and The Tantrums feel: Upbeat. Finger-tappy. Head-noddy. The tune broke with help from shows like The Resident on FOX, Hulu’s Light as a Feather and Ex on the Beach on MTV. Feelin’ “good” now… P.S. Thank goodness this story is complete. Or we would've attempted to use "good" more often... Like what you read here?

Twenty One Pilots is a pretty friggin’ cool band. The music rocks. And, they know it’s all about their fans—which have been deemed the “Skeleton Clique”. The Clique was front and center with a contest in partnership with Creative Allies to design tour posters. Nearly 30,000 fans participated. Winning artists scored $250, two tickets to the Bandito Tour, an autographed merchandise pack, and recognition on social media. One grand prize winner scored an all-expenses-paid trip to the band’s hometown Columbus, Ohio, show and a meet-and-greet. Sebastian Kowoll was the big winner. “I'm at a point in life where I have gained some confidence with my art, but there were a LOT of submissions and many amazing ones. So being chosen as the winner is a super humbling, validating and truly rewarding experience.” Well said. We would’ve said: “Suck my paint brush, bitches.” Like what you read here?

We’re hoping we are trending away from music without guitars and solos. BRKN LOVE brings us all the guitars, and some damn fine vocals with “Shot Down”. This tune is heavy, but not noisy—as if these fellas know how to play music. That’s refreshing. Plus, it’s a much needed testosterone blast in this man-bun wearing world. Let’s have a little fun with their band photo. A “What Am I Thinking”? caption contest: Dude #1: “Did I leave the neck massager plugged in?” Dude #2: “HA HA HA HA… What?” Dude #3: “I can’t believe I’m in a band with these turds.” Dude #4: “I shouldn’t have had jalapenos on those tacos.” Add your captions below...

Whether it’s the end of the world, life going by too fast, partying instead of responsibility—who cares? The tune reminds us of an 80s British smash hit from some band in hip clothes, spiked hair and eyeliner with a rebel attitude. We have sweet synths in our ears and dancing-like-there’s-no-tomorrow in our souls… Like what you read here?

His song, “Just You and I” is huge in his neck of the woods. And now it’s jumped the pond. The song was originally an old acoustic number, but Walker reworked the track, adding some reggae touches, and re-released the song this year for his debut album. The song is an homage to his girlfriend, Annie. Awwww! By the time of the re-release, he proposed and she said “Yes”. Awwww. Thanks for inspiring Tom, future-Mrs.-Walker! We get joy from your joy.

Stone Temple Pilots came into our consciousness in 1992 with their debut album, Core. It sold more than eight million copies and earned a Grammy Award. Their sophomore album, Purple cemented their place in rock history. Hard to believe it’s been 25 years since the release of Purple (June 7, 1994). Yikes! But we still act like we’re 25! Regardless, a newly remastered version of the original studio album will be available on September 13th for $64.98. PURPLE: SUPER DELUXE EDITION is a 3-CD/one LP set includes the original track listing, plus unreleased versions of album tracks and rarities, along with an unreleased full concert recording from 1994. A limited edition bundle (only 1,000 copies) is now available for pre-order. It includes a bonus replica 7-inch vinyl single of “Interstate Love Song” that was originally released in the UK in 1994. Twenty-five years… wow. Things that have happened in the past 25 years… a lot… we got a respectable job and change our underwear daily. Yeah. That’s about it. Like what you read here?
