<p>It’s difficult to break new ground when putting out a concert film. Farewell performances, shows oversaturated with special guests, half-documentary/half-concerts – pretty much everything has been done and done to death. That’s why when Scott Lucas of the venerable rock duo Local H decided to bounce around ideas for film on the band, he knew it couldn’t be run of the mill. Much like Local H tours themselves over the years, he wanted it to have a hook – like […]</p>

<p>When you think of the standard musical guest booked for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a petite metalcore banshee isn’t exactly the first image that comes to mind. But Poppy’s howl is a persuasive one, and the pop-turned-metal singer appeared on the late night show last evening (March 10) to promote her 2024 record Negative Spaces. Poppy dished out the tune “the cost of giving up” for the performance, leaning into a face-melting portion of her sixth studio album. With a flowerbed […]</p>

<p>Is it possible to make a primer on a subject and preach to the choir simultaneously? Dan Farah’s The Age of Disclosure attempts to solve that quantum superposition, and, predictably, it doesn’t succeed at being either. Normies — people with lives who don’t understand what makes their crazier relatives lose their shit at the mere mention of the words “Varginha” or “Majesty 12” or “galactic federation” — will find themselves intrigued at first before their attention drifts away past the […]</p>

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new song by Oakland-based queer punkers Middle-Aged Queers! The song is called “Pajama Party” and is off their upcoming album Theatre of Shame. Speaking to Punknews about the track, the band said, "Based on the true events of our drummer Niki's worst year ever, 'Pajama Party' is a love letter to your friends who are going through it. Sometimes, the only thing you as a friend are capable of is inflicting your toxic positivity as a distraction. And sometimes that manifests in showing up to someone's house uninvited with a box of pizza. PunkNews was one of the first websites to cover us during our humble beginnings when we released our first LP, To Fag For Love, back in 2020. Five years later, we're honored to have PunkNews premiere this new song for all of you, especially Flo from Progressive and the Geico Gecko.” ”Pajama Party” will be out everywhere digitally on March 13. Theatre of Shame will be out everywhere on April 11 via Sell the Heart / Engineer Records. You can pre-order a copy here or here. Middle-Aged Queers will be touring around the US this spring.
