<p>Back when he cut the title-screen track for Madden 2000, Ludacris aptly summed up the appeal of video games: “What you want? The rock in the palm of my hand. What you got? I got John Madden.” When it comes to skilled narrative product placement, video games have one unsurprisingly tragic flaw that a lot of our other IP-based subgenres don’t: A competing audiovisual experience that offers, as Luda pointed out, a more potent and immediate fulfillment of whatever the […]</p>

Today we are psyched to debut the new single by Pale Angels! Pale Angels kick out high energy, melodic punk- that is, if you read Punknews, this album is for you.The band will be putting out a new album in September called Plastic Legacy. The debut single, "I'm a boar," winks at the Who all while contemplating hating oneself… or hating someone else… all to a crunchy riff. Whoa! Speaking to Punknews, the band's Mike S said "I had my heart broken by someone who laughed at me when they broke it. I realized in that moment they’re hideous. I’ll take being ugly. There’s hope for the ugly." The band's Jamie Morrison adds,"The album was made in Nov 2020 at the height of the pandemic in Cincinnati, OH in a freezing cold storage space, turned studio. Many Cincinnati musician friends jumped in and spontaneously collaborated to get us through the strange times. We made some rock n roll and here it is, finally."Plastic Legacy is out September 8 via Rad Girlfriend. You can pre-order it right here and check out the whole album below, right now!

<p>We always have time for new music from The Killers, especially when Brandon Flowers & Co. lean into the more dramatic dancefloor side of their ’80s synth-pop influences. That’s especially in play on new single “Your Side of Town,” which hits the streams today (August 25) and won’t sound out of place on playlists alongside Pet Shop Boys and Erasure. It’s The Killers’ first new music of 2023, following last year’s synth sparkle of standalone single “boy” and the deluxe […]</p>

<p>Expect greatness from Melissa Ferrick’s new single, but don’t expect a release. Zip yourself into the Boston artist’s “Black Dress” and you’ll be thrust into a fidgety alt-rock tussle between lovers and states of mind, stuck without the satisfying smash of a crash cymbal. “Production-wise, we took a cue from The Wallflowers’ ‘One Headlight’, and Phoebe Bridgers’ Motion Sickness (among many others), by not hitting any cymbals,” Ferrick notes. A tease is one way to describe it; thorough mood-setting is […]</p>
