Today, we are pumped to debut the new video by MikelParis of O.A.R.! It's called "HitMe" and features G,Love of G.Love and Special Sauce. MikelParis' new album, GuitarDrumming 0I, finds the O.A.R. keyboardist/percussion putting all his skills to work in a unique way. The LP features Paris on guitar, playing in a swinging bluesy-folk style, but he also uses the insturment's other dimensions, banging on it, shaking it, and using all aspects of the instrument to make some noise. While Paris rattles the guitar, G. Love comes in and shakes it up with some blues harmonica.Speaking to Punknews, MikelParis said, "'HitMe' was an experiment on how the GuitarDrumming sound can connect and have a dialogue with the drums and harmonica. I'm honored to have G. Love play harp and bring incredible feel and tone to the song. This inspired me to explore how my distorted "mouth -bone" can connect with the harp. Lyrically, it’s about getting back up when you fall and becoming stronger from the experience." You can check out the video below.

Violets is the new band that features Bill Stephens of Naked Raygun (guitar), Simon Lamb of The Methadones (guitar), Aly Jados (guitar/vocals), Michael Soucy (drums), and Fritz Doreza (bass/vocals). They will release their self-titled debut EP on May 2. In a press release, Stephens stated: "It had become apparent that Naked Raygun wouldn’t be playing anymore, so a new band seemed like an interesting idea. Raygun had done quite a few shows with The Methadones so we were tight with those guys and of course, loved the band. And I knew Fritz would be up for it as he was in a similar predicament with Raygun like myself.” You can see the video below.

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new song by New York City-based power pop-punk band Strange Neighbors! The song is called “Hate Me Less” and is off their upcoming album People Pleasers Pleasing People. Speaking to Punknews about the track lead vocalist Aidan Strange said, "I wrote 'Hate Me Less' from the depths of a haunted nostalgia that has weaved a thread throughout multiple previous failed relationships. I was reflecting on a recent breakup in which I recognized I was putting off ending it for far too long, worried about hurting the person, but in the end hurting us both worse. In the process, I was recollecting other relationships in which I was the one being betrayed, cheated on, or cheated with. Being on the flip side, being the 'breaker' really affected me until I had to realize that I could hold both the guilt of handling things poorly, but also realizing I deserved to be treated better the whole time. In the end it became a song about memories, regret, feeling messy, and ultimately, one of hope…but from a healthy distance.” ”Hate Me Less” will hit streaming services on March 6. People Pleasers Pleasing People will be out on April 18 via Mint 400 Records and you can pre-save it right here. Listen to “Hate Me Less” below!
