Single Review: Thrice Returns with Captivating New Single Albatross
THRICE IS BACK, BABY!!! Now that I've got my initial “oh hell yeah” out of the way, Thrice is back with a new single, “Albatross,” and a new album, “Horizon/West,” set to release on October 3rd. I have been a fan of Thrice since hearing “Stare at the Sun” off the album “The Artist in the Ambulance” that was released 22 years ago… god, I feel old saying that. But we're here to talk about “Albatross,” and I am here to say that everything about this song and video is incredible.

The soulful single blends the roots of classic reggae warmth with modern dub textures.

Album Review: The Haunt Release New Addiction
I definitely didn’t wake up thinking I’d be reviewing music today. Honestly, I’ve been buried in
deadlines, fighting off some kind of low-budget plague, and generally trying to maintain the
illusion of adult functioning from my couch. And then boom an email shows up inviting me to
review a release. Against all logic, I felt a spark. Turns out, no matter how fried I am, new
music still cuts through the static. Some habits die hard and I’m always curious, especially

Album Review: Halestorm's Sixth Studio Album Everest Out 8/8!
Halestorm is set to release their 6th full length studio album, Everest, on 8/8/2025. This album has been a couple of years in the making. They took their time and didn’t rush through the process in one sitting. Halestorm fought tooth and nail for everything on this album to be truly authentic and true to themselves.

Single Review: Halocene - Bite My Tongue!
It's time for a new review. Up today is Halocene featuring Holding Absence, "Bite My Tongue".
Halocene has been my one of my favorite finds of 2025. They find a way to blend crunchy guitar riffs that just blend so perfectly with lead singer Addie Amick's sweet but powerful voice.

Single Review: Muse Unleash, Unravelling!
On Friday, June 20th, Muse unleashed “Unravelling”, their first new offering since the 2022 release “Will Of The People.” It’s a sonically weighty track that fans are hoping is the first single off of the UK trio’s tenth studio album rumored to be released some time next year. Never a group to shy away from blending genres and experimenting with new sounds. And as expected, “Unravelling” doesn’t fit into any one category except for distinctly Muse.

Single Review: Love and a .38 Release "Revelation"!
When I first sat down to review Love and a .38's new single "Revelation" the plan was to do one listen and just give a hot take first impression. I wanted to give just a raw unfiltered take but then something strange happened. Something that musically doesn't happen to me often. I was at a total loss of words.

Concert Review: The Wrecks with Quarters of Change and Benjamin Carter at Emo's. Austin, TX!
The evening started with Benjamin Carter, who brought an intimate, stripped-back energy to the stage. His performance was filled with vulnerability, as his soulful vocals and honest lyrics set a mood that captivated the audience. Though unfamiliar with his music prior to the show, I found myself completely absorbed in his set and grateful that I get to say I saw him on his first tour! Keep an eye on this rising star—his journey is just beginning.

Single Review: Falling in Reverse and Marilyn Manson Drop "God Is A Weapon"!
In a move surprising their fans, Falling In Reverse dropped their first new single (and a video to go along with it) since concluding the Popular Monster cycle. “God Is A Weapon” is a moody, cinematic piece whose beginning is reminiscent of Marilyn Manson’s cover of the Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”.

Album Review: Sleep Theory, Afterglow!
In a time where technology has fundamentally changed how we as a society do things like shop and find new music, it makes sense that bands would take to social media platforms such as YouTube and TikTok to get the word out about their projects. Sleep Theory was no exception. They quickly became Sirius XM Octane darlings with their debut singles “Numb” and “Another Way”, climbed up the Active Rock radio charts, impressed Zach Myers and Brent Smith of Shinedown enough for them
