Band lineup changes are hardly a rarity in the music scene. Between creative differences, life events and personal fallouts, it’s pretty common for at least one member to go in a different direction over the course of an outfit’s tenure. And that, of course, leaves a significant void to be filled. How a band decide […]

The further we get into our scene “phases,” the more we understand the concept of “love and loss” as it pertains to music.

In 2009, Myspace was beginning to disintegrate, and scene bands were growing less and less popular. Despite their distinct capabilities of genre-blending emo, pop punk, metalcore, neon pop, electronica and more, the scene started to die and was aching for a rebirth.

Pop punk began to rapidly gain traction in the early 2000s, landing impressive spots on mainstream charts that propelled the success of the genre today. This transformative period uncovered legendary bands who produced albums that have stood the test of time. While it’s apparent that pop punk began a definitive era 20 years ago, it’s […]

Silent Library was the must-watch game show on MTV from 2009-2011. Contestants competed in hilarious punishment challenges that needed to be complete with total silence. Any excessive noise or laughter from the competitors was marked as an instant fail for that challenge. Finishing a challenge successfully resulted in the contestants earning cash that would be […]

Jersey Shore, whether you love it or hate it, is a cultural phenomenon. The show is the epitome of 2000s culture and defined some of the decade’s lingo, fashion, music and more. At first glance, the show seems to be the exact opposite of the scene—EDM music, flashy outfits and tan people who would never […]

Photographer:  In 2017 so far, we've lost many great rock artists and icons.

The foundation of most songs begins with an acoustic guitar, so it’s only natural that many bands release acoustic renditions at some point. These toned down versions allow a band to show off their creativity and break down their classic anthems to the bare bones, giving them new life. From hardcore to pop punk, this […]

Based on the last few years, it might seem like Anarbor were over for good: After 2013's Burnout, the band announced that they were taking a break; in early 2015, they were no longer listed as an active band by Hopeless Records. Read more: The Rocket Summer announce first album since 2012 However, in August, the band […]
