We’re super pleased to bring you another DS premiere to get your weekend started the right way! Cincinnati rock’n’rollers Veronica Grim have a brand new live video of “Straight to Hell”, live from Urban Artifact in downtown Cincy.

Co-written by Ryan Malott of 500 Miles to Memphis, the live track comes straight off of a brand new EP titled Summer Goth. Described as “an eclectic sound reminiscent of Blondie and Social D combined with some Paramore”, the duo of Grim and Malott reminds me some of old 500 Miles to Memphis, but with a brand new spin on it.

Be sure to check out the newest Veronica Grim EP titled Summer Goth, released last month. Recorded by co-writer Ryan Malott, they’ve “conjured up a collection of songs that call back to the finest aspects of punk and rock’n’roll”. After spending some time in LA, Grim once again relocated back to her original stomping grounds to embrace the very music scene that had given her her start. Originally getting her musical start through her love for poetry, Grim’s recent release still very much displays that love.

Check out the video below. Cheers!

DS Band Spotlight: Check out Toronto pop-punks Wasting Time & their new record “Hurry Up and Wait”

Happy Friday, friends! There’s a lot of awesome new releases out today, but I’ve made the executive decision to shine the spotlight – the Dying Scene Band Spotlight, that is 😉 – on one record in particular.

Happy Friday, friends! There’s a lot of awesome new releases out today, but I’ve made the executive decision to shine the spotlight – the Dying Scene Band Spotlight, that is 😉 – on one record in particular. That record is Hurry Up and Wait! This is the third full-length entry in Canadian pop-punk band Wasting Time‘s growing discography.

Here’s what the band had to say about their brand new record, which just came out today on People of Punk Rock Records:

Hurry Up And Wait is a melodic journey encapsulating many moments throughout our lives with reflective, ambiguous and occasional dark lyrics. These 11 songs reflect a modern spin on our favourite pop-punk bands from the 90s while also displaying an expansion of our sonic palette as a band. We’re happy to have it released today and hope listeners can take in how much fun we had writing, arranging and recording these songs.”

If you are a fan of MxPx, The Ataris, No Use For A Name, etc. you’ll like these guys for sure. But hey, don’t take my word for it, check out the record! You can listen to right below, or on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music (do people use that shit?), etc. by clicking this link. And my fellow physical media appreciators can get the album blue colored vinyl and/or compact disc right here.

Also! And this is the last thing, I promise. If you happen to reside in the Greater Toronto Area, consider attending Wasting Time’s album release show tomorrow, April 13th at the Bovine Sex Club. More details here!

Boston Thriving: Amy Allen’s pen rules the pop charts

<p>Editor’s Note: “Boston Thriving” is an ongoing series from Vanyaland highlighting and honoring the national and global success of Boston- and New England-based bands and artists. The truth is, there’s no one “right” way to frame this Boston Thriving article regarding Amy Allen. For instance, we could highlight the fact that the Maine-born musician helped write three of pop’s most ubiquitous current radio hits: “Feather” by Sabrina Carpenter, “Greedy” by Tate McRae, and “Selfish,” Justin Timberlake’s quasi-comeback single. Or we […]</p>
