<p>Since we’re not on-site in Vegas to watch a whole bunch of movie trailers, we took a bit of a break from bringing you the CinemaCon highlights to mourn the dearly departed Val Kilmer, and because, outside of the news from the Lionsgate presentation that Keanu Reeves will return for John Wick 5, there wasn’t too much to write about. You’ll likely see the Superman footage Warner Bros. showed in their presentation at your local theater in front of Minecraft […]</p>

<p>When Lowell’s beloved hub Mill No. 5 shuttered this past February, one of its newest residents had only been in business for six months. ADamnShame Records joined the Mill’s wealth of vendors last July, stepping into the former Vinyl Destination storefront like a passing of the torch between two arbiters of Lowell’s cultural scene. Now, in light of the Mill’s final days, ADamnShame Records owner Adam O’Donnell has teamed up with a different staple of downtown Lowell: Lala Books. The record […]</p>

<p>Editor’s Note: It’s the same thing we all know in love when it comes to Vanyaland’s recurring weekly live comedy rundown, Mic’d Up — just a slightly different face. We’ll be hyping club shows, theater and arena gigs, open mics, and whatever else to help fill your free time with some much-needed laughter. The only thing better than seeing a new comedy talent come through town and kill on stage is seeing a familiar face do the same – and Greg […]</p>

Today we are extremely excited to bring you the track-by-track breakdown of the debut full-length album by Cumberland, British Columbia-based punk rockers Mean Bikini! The album is called This Ain’t Gonna End Well… and features 13 incredible tracks that find the band exploring mental health, the current state of the world, getting older, and so much more. Speaking to Punknews about the album, the band said, "The album as a whole really speaks to a lot of aspects of current mental health trends and the worsening political climate which are all tied together because let’s face it, the world's fucked and we can all feel it getting worse. That has an effect on us whether or not we realize it. The album features some heavy hitters on guest vocal spots like Sarinn from Vancouver punk band Alien Boys and Rowan from Seattle's Shame Banger. We wanted to loop in other artists who share the same message and vision for their music and feel like we hit the nail on the head in terms of who we asked to be a part of it as they absolutely crushed their parts and brought so much heart onto the record." This Ain’t Gonna End Well… is available digitally everywhere now via Outhouse Records. You can listen to the album and read the track-by-track breakdown below!
