Album Review: Petals and Pain: The Devil Wears Prada’s Flowers Unfold
Nearly two decades into their career, The Devil Wears Prada continue to defy expectations. They have never been afraid to evolve, but “Flowers” feels like a full bloom. This album is a reflection on where they’ve been and where they are heading. It’s heavy, heartfelt, dark, beautiful, and a reminder that even the darkest bands can still find light in bloom.

Music Review: Pinknoise Cranks Up the Chaos with New Banger ‘TALK TALK
Pinknoise returns with a ferocious new single, “TALK TALK.” This song is pure raw emotion at its finest. It’s heavy, unapologetic, and angry, but within that chaos, it’s pure and beautiful.
The introduction of "TALK TALK" begins with a dark synth electronic vibe; either way, it immediately captured my attention. Then you hear Kacey Foxx enter in with the lyrics "your lips are moving, but nothing's making sense," followed by a raw scream and a powerful beat that will make y

Album Review: Mammoth Release, The End!
On October 24, 2025, Mammoth, formerly Mammoth WVH until a recent copyright change was granted, released their third album in four years. The solo project of Grammy nominated Wolfgang Van Halen is a fun mix of tongue in cheek lyrics, late 90’s inspired guitars, and gratitude for the opportunities available to the talented multi-instrumentalist.

Get Ready to Move — Electric Callboy Drop a Banger with “TANZNEID”
Electric Callboy delivers an explosive new single "TANZNEID." This track fuses modern metalcore riffs, electronic hardstyle components, pop choruses, and a hint of punk, compelling listeners to hit both the dance floor and the mosh pit. "TANZNEID" is fun, energetic, and proves to us that Electric Callboy is leading the charge with their party core or dance core style.

Album Review: Big Ol' Nasty Getdown Release Volume 3
When I first got this assignment, I can honestly say I had never heard of The Big Ol' Nasty Get Down but after reading the lineup of musicians that were contributing to this project, I was so intrigued.

However, looking over the musician lineup I went into this review expecting one thing and got something completely different. I really was expecting something

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.
