The headline makers in the world of rock, or any genre of music, are the musicians. It’s not the sound that comes out of their mouth that puts them on the radio (unless they’re a guitarist frontman) but it’s the music that’s got them to where they are. So, as a result, the instruments that create those iconic sounds are celebrated just as much.

State Champs Release New Album “Kings Of The New Age”
State Champs are at it again. Nearly four years after the release of their last album Living Proof, the band are once more reclaiming their title as the kings of pop punk. Or should we say the Kings of the New Age. Released this past Friday, Kings of the New Age features four previously released tracks accompanied by seven brand new ones- showcasing that

Panic! At The Disco Tease Return With Cryptic New Website
If there was a cryptic post Olympics, there is no question that Twenty One Pilots would take home the gold, but their label mates Panic! at the Disco are about to give them a run for their money with the release of their new website. First appearing on fan pages earlier this afternoon, shutupandgotobed.com appears to be a hint that Panic! at the Disco
Bring On The Riot! The Academy Is… Returns
September 22nd, 2009, an emo band named The Academy Is… released their final EP titled Lost In Pacific Time. Two short years later, on October 10th, 2011, the band announced that they would be disbanding after just under a decade together.

New Track: “Love Bracelets” – IZZA
IZZA’s bio on Instagram reads “people pleaser turned bad b!tch pop singer.” Usually, musicianship and people pleasing go hand in hand, since attracting an audience is the only way to make it as an artist, but IZZA seems confident in her abilities to get things done her way. No outside interference, no pandering for likes or streams… none of that. In one of the
Your Favorite Pop Underdog: AJ Smith Talks New Song “Nobody,” Billy Joel, and More
When AJ Smith took the stage at the Patchogue Theatre on Long Island, NY for his SoFar Sounds performance in October 2018, it was a clear shift from a night of developing artists to watching someone who had it all figured out. The presentation, the audience connection, all of it. I kept up with AJ from that night on, and have been very pleased
KOLOHE KAI RELEASES UPLIFTING AND EMPOWERING SINGLE “I THINK YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL”
Kolohe Kai’s latest single promotes inner beauty and has an empowering anti-bulling message. “The desire to be accepted is real and many kids don’t feel good enough,” Kai shares. And though not everyone has been bullied, those who have can relate to this single in some way – whether it’s through some form of insecurity, lack of self-confidence or simply feeling like society expects
Love, Sorrow and Dedication Collide in Darkoo’s New Single “Always”
Described by British Vogue as “the musician smashing stereotypes with her style and sound,” Darkoo and fast-rising Ghanian artist Black Sheriff are the perfect duo on “Always.” Produced by Mojam and Ghosty and directed by Ghanian director Babs, the video features shots of Ghana weaved with shots of motorbikes, cars and two lovers contemplating their fate. Essentially this track is a love story, with
New Track: “Romeo and Juliet” – PEACH MARTINE
Peach Martine’s latest single “Romeo and Juliet” is, to put it lightly, a head-scratcher. At surface level, it is the kind of Gen-Z pop-punk that will do big numbers on Tik Tok due to its comedic and slightly tone-deaf take on a classic love story, but there is more to it than meets the eye. Martine’s music may have its fair share of comical undertones, but she is certainly one to
