There’s no denying that for 25 years, Warped Tour was a significant rite of passage for alternative bands. Especially during the 2000s, the festival brought us performances by just about every group we knew and loved. “Just about” is a rather significant caveat, though. While the vast majority of active scene artists made a Warped appearance […]

Nothing grabs listeners’ attention like a good diss track. After all, it’s pretty much human nature to tap into any source of drama one can find. Eminem‘s been on a roll with the tactic. The rapper made headlines after taking a jab at Machine Gun Kelly on his 2018 album, Kamikaze. Now, on his latest record, he’s […]

The 2010s brought us a new wave of alternative music. From the rise of pop-punk revivalists, including State Champs and Neck Deep, to modern hardcore outfits such as FEVER 333, the scene is alive as ever. Much like during the pop-punk heyday of the 2000s, our favorite bands feel like an extension of who we […]

Dominic Harrison, aka YUNGBLUD, may not have known it at the time he tattooed two black hearts on his middle fingers, but he’s been preparing for total domination for years. Boasting a rambunctious personality, a no-fucks-given attitude and a skirt to boot, Harrison has channeled a generational movement through YUNGBLUD.  At the first hint of […]

Over the past few weeks, some states have begun phasing out of coronavirus lockdown. As these restrictions continue to be lifted, establishments are reopening and concerts are resuming.

Summertime is upon us, and although the last show of the Vans Warped Tour is now a year behind us, it still lives on in our hearts. At least that’s how the saying goes, right?  As you mournfully celebrate 25 years spent navigating between killer sets, moshing in sweltering heat and chasing photo ops with […]

Comedians and musicians are more similar than you may think.

Below we’ve found some of our favorite […]

We’re well into this new temporary way of life of being stuck at home due to coronavirus. Retail stores, bars, restaurants and now movie theaters have closed their doors to the public.
