Sam Russo has had offers from much bigger/better labels, but to our delight, he chose to stick with his old chums at Red Scare for album #3. And “Back To The Party” is a special one. This is a diverse-sounding record with a broad spectrum of emotions on display. You can hear the loyalty and the love, the fear and the hope, the desperation and the triumph. You can also hear Sam trying new things as he crafts 33 minutes of his best stuff yet.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. An alien boy lands on earth and is taken in by a childless couple who raise him as their own. And then once Clark Ke - sorry, Brandon Breyer (Jackson A. Dunn) hits puberty, he discovers he has powers. But where Brightburn takes a turn for the different, is when Brandon doesn’t use his powers for good. Instead, he goes round killing people.
Led by singer-songwriter Matt Pond, Matt Pond PA was an indie rock band out of New York who released a - for lack of a better word - shitload of music over the past 20 years.
Because absolutely no one was waiting for another Men In Black movie, someone decided it would be an utterly brilliant idea to release a sequel. Unfortunately, pretty much the only good thing you can say about ‘Men In Black: International’ is that it no longer features Tommy Lee Jones’ unmoving scowl.
It’s hard to say what ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ is about. Most of the time the movie, which is set in 1969 Los Angeles, simply trickles along as we follow TV actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), the former star of ’50s Western show ‘Bounty Law’ (a show that Tarantino is apparently thinking about turning into a real thing), and his long-time stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). They are the old guard that is trying to keep up in a new Hollywood that is moving on without them.
Midwestern emo band, Charmer, has announced details on their forthcoming new album 'Ivy', which will be released April 3 through No Sleep Records.
Boston Manor have revealed the hyperkinetic music video for the first single off their new album, GLUE which sees its release May 1 via Pure Noise Records. "'Everything Is Ordinary' is about how we're desensitized to all of these major, major problems that exist in the world today," says vocalist Henry Cox. "We've seen literally everything so nothing really strikes us as worrying or scary any more and, essentially, everything is ordinary to us. I was mostly thinking about the environmental crisis when we wrote this but it does apply to a lot of things that are happening right now."
After months of anticipation and teasing with fans, The Used have officially announced they will be releasing their 8th full length studio album, Heartwork, on April 24th via Big Noise.
In addition to the announcement, The Used have released the second single from the forthcoming album, "Paradise Lost, a poem by John Milton." The song and accompanying video are larger than life and carry emotions and imagery so unique to The Used throughout, while tying in influences from one of front man Bert McCracken's favorite authors.
