The ‘Obsession’ teaser will scare you until you love it

<p>One of the bigger acquisitions out of this year’s TIFF was Curry Barker’s Obsession, which hit the Midnight Madness program like a tsunami and swept a bunch of Focus Features’ cash out to its producers. It looks like the bigger companies have gotten sick of A24 and NEON owning the summer-horror distribution pipeline, so what better way to kick off these jams than with a big festival favorite? We didn’t get a chance to check it out while we were […]</p>

Anne Hathaway has a hellish comeback in the ‘Mother Mary’ trailer

<p>You have to love it when an ad campaign goes out of its way to directly disavow a director’s former work — see “This is Not a Ghost Story,” the tagline that A24 came up with for David Lowery’s Mother Mary. It’s certainly a better fit than “This is Not a Green Knight” or “This is Not a Dragon Owned by Pete” or “This Ain’t Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.” Throw a triple-X at the end of that last one, and […]</p>

The Flatliners sign to Equal Vision, release "Misanthropy and Me"

The Flatliners have announced that they’ve signed with Equal Vision Records. The band has also released their first song on the label called “Misanthropy and Me”. Speaking about the song, the band said, “Born from a familiar flame and destined to dominate a special place in your barely beating heart, we present to you an all-new anthem of apathy, ‘Misanthropy & Me’. While the fires of 'New Ruin’ are still burning bright, the flickering light inside humanity’s head has undoubtedly dimmed. We’re here to reassure you: Your spirit’s not broken. It’s just worn out…”The Flatliners will be joining Lawrence Arms for their December 6 War On X-Mas show in Chicago, playing their Holiday Melee show in Toronto on December 12, and playing Stomp Records’ 30th anniversary show on December 13 in Montreal. The band released their album New Ruin in 2022. Check out the song below.

Dying Scene Photo Gallery and Review: The Saints ’73-’78, Des Demonas, and Chimers, Union Stage (11/18/2025).

What a night! On 18 November, Union Stage presented original members Ed Kuepper (guitar) and Ivor Hay (drums) and the team that made up The Saints ‘73 – ‘78 put on the best 90 minutes of high octane rock ‘n roll we’ve seen in a minute, making it clear that they and their music remain […]

What a night! On 18 November, Union Stage presented original members Ed Kuepper (guitar) and Ivor Hay (drums) and the team that made up The Saints ‘73 – ‘78 put on the best 90 minutes of high octane rock ‘n roll we’ve seen in a minute, making it clear that they and their music remain vital. Fellow Aussies Chimers opened the show with local up-and-comers Des Demonas filling the middle slot.

The Saints ‘73 – ‘78 lineup features original Saints members Ed Kuepper (guitar) and Ivor Hay (drums), with Mark Arm of Mudhoney (vocals), Mick Harvey of The Boys Next Door, The Birthday Party, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (guitar and keyboards), and Peter Oxley of Sunnyboys (bass). Stagehand Troy Purnell joined in on harmonica and backing vocals on ‘Run Down.’ The accompanying horn section included Eamon Dilworth (trumpet), Julien Wilson (tenor sax), and Mark Spencer (baritone sax). This was my first time seeing The Saints and had a great time. If you have a chance to see them at any time, do it! The Saints are playing their last show on this tour in Berlin. Find them here.

Des Demonas is DC’s garage punk band made up of Jacky “Cougar” Abok (vocals), Mark Cisneros (guitar), Paul Vivari (organ), and Matt Gatwood (drums). I’ve caught Cisneros with Hammered Hulls and with Kid Congo Powers, and the Pink Monkey Birds several times, and I’ve also seen Abok behind the drum kit for his other band, Sex Faces, so it was a thrill to watch the two of them share a stage again. Vivari’s organ work and Gatwood’s drumming rounded out the set perfectly, adding a funky edge that drew in an entirely new crowd. Make sure to catch Des Demonas in 2026 when they join Neko Case on her Neon Grey Midnight Green Tour, kicking off 8 January 2026.

Chimers, the dynamic Australian duo of Padraic Skehan (lead vocals and guitar) and Binx (vocals and drums), brought their signature post-punk sound on their first (ever) US tour and first show in DC. They were joined by The Saints ‘73-’78 horn section (Dilworth on trumpet, Wilson on tenor sax, and Spencer on baritone sax) for a fiery rendition of their song ‘People Listen (to the Radio).’ Skehan shredded on guitar while Binx powered through their set while setting the tone for the night ahead. This was also my first time seeing these guys. Don’t miss out on seeing the Chimers as they close out the year and head into 2026 touring with Bleak Squad here.

The Horn section joined the Chimers on “People Listen (to the Radio).”
