For Lydia Night, life has been played out onstage. Since the age of 2, when she would sing Ramones songs during early evening soundchecks at her father’s nightclub in her birthtown of New Orleans, standing under the spotlight has been a fixture of her very being. By a...

When chloe moriondo was growing up, there weren’t many lesbian artists for her to see as role models. Now, she tells me over Zoom, she’s thrilled to see LGBTQIA+ kids have so much more representation: “Kehlani just came out. That was cool! I...

In recent years, blink-182’s Travis Barker has been an active supporter of younger artists, appearing on tracks with Machine Gun Kelly, YUNGBLUD, nothing,nowhere. and more. His latest collaboration is with rapper Sueco, fka Sueco the Child, on pop-punk track “SOS.” 24-year-o...

For a person who just graduated high school, booked a headline tour and released their first major-label debut all in the same year, chloe moriondo is admirably calm. “I’m just chilling!” she says, confessing that she got out of bed at noon: “I’m a little gremlin,” she smiles. She’s rocking a new look that she ...

Last October, in a brief interim between strict U.K. lockdowns, Creeper’s Will Gould played four shows in two cities with his side project, Salem. In a dark, small venue in London the night before Halloween, fans sat at separate tables, some sitting devoutly through both the matinee and evening show. With...

Over the last year, artists have found creative ways to fill their time and connect with their fans. With time and space to either work on new tracks or release previously shelved projects, we’ve been spoiled for choice by many bands and artists, and some of the projects have been unexpected. None...

With the devastating mass cancellations of live shows this past year, artists have been trying to find creative ways to connect with their fans in a safe way. What that means in practice is that we’ve seen a lot of online performances, some better than others, but most self-recorded from artists’ living rooms and studio spaces. The early ...

For most of us, being locked down with our siblings for the entirety of 2020 seems like a nightmare. For brothers Jack, Adam and Ryan Met, however, it was nothing new. The trio, better known as indie-pop band AJR, already wrote, produced and recorded their first three albums in their living room, so for their fourth full-length, OK ORCHESTRA, it just made sense...

When Fall Out Boy released their fourth record, Folie À Deux, in 2008, they were no strangers to pissing off fans and baffling critics. Their stylistic changes, both musically and aesthetically, from album to album are notable and clear: Take This To Your Grave is a pure, if not standout, pop-punk record; From Under The Cork Tree saw them embracing verbose writing and emo aesthetics; Infinity On H

“Hi, we’re Jimmy Eat World, and you need to pay attention to us or you’ll miss it,” says frontman Jim Adkins when AP sits down with him and bassist Rick Burch at Slam Dunk Festival. The comment is tongue in cheek, but he’s not wrong: Shortly after we spoke, Jimmy Eat World played an exceptional headline set through a lightning storm. Twenty-five years after they...

Adam Lazzara of Taking Back Sunday is taking a break. Two years after the release of Taking Back Sunday’s 2016 album Tidal Wave, the lead singer is using his free time wisely: He recently had his third child and has gone back to school to study audio engineering. R...

By now, Good Charlotte’s aspirational origin story is well-ingrained in the minds of anyone who’s bothered to listen closely enough. As the mythology goes, twin brothers Joel and Benji Madden grew up in poverty in a broken home in Maryland after their father left the family on Christmas Eve. Outcasts a ...

Fall Out Boy are fully prepared for you to hate Mania (stylized M A N   I    A), their seventh studio album. Their pre-release press tour has felt apologetic: At shows and in interviews, the band have reiterated that this album will require a few listens to get into. It isn’t that they have...
