How K.Flay and Whethan are defying genre lines in their latest collab

With the amount of different styles of music, trying to stay within a set genre is becoming more difficult and almost unnecessary.

10 hilarious music videos that will put a smile on your face

Nothing’s worse than a music video that thinks inside of the box. The best visuals have storylines, kooky characters or hilarious costumes—some of the musicians on this list even love wearing mustaches no matter the occasion. Most often, punk and rock artists are comfy with being nontraditional, and they’re usually creative when it comes to […]

Watch Oliver Tree go out in a blaze of glory with final song “Let Me Down”

Oliver Tree has unleashed his final song and video “Let Me Down.” If you’re unsure why it’s considered the final song, well, that’s because the singer canceled his upcoming album Ugly Is Beautiful just a day before its release and officially announced his retirement.  Late on April 6, Oliver Tree asked fans to get the #OLIVERTREEISOVERPARTY trending […]

Here’s what you need to know about the Oliver Tree album you can’t hear

YUNGBLUD, MGK play “I Think I’m OKAY” after livestream drinking game

The highly-anticipated  “Shit’s Weird Keep Calm and Carry On” YUNGBLUD show was everything and more people wanted it to be.

Oliver Tree seeks a big scooter and your love—in that order

Oliver Tree is stoked. Yeah, his Atlantic Records debut album, Ugly Is Beautiful, is slated for release in six weeks. He’s probably got some crazy video to launch it that costs more than the yearly salary of Beyoncé’s on-tour nail tech. But if you corner this savant of provocateur pop about it, he’ll shrug it […]

Oliver Tree says what he memes and memes what he says

Without a doubt, Oliver Tree is the pop star America (and possibly the world) needs. From wearing clothes in which we wouldn’t get caught dead (those rockin’ socks ‘n’ sandals, represent!) to a casual disregard of sticking to one genre on his impending album Ugly Is Beautiful, Tree is changing the game. And you know […]

Melanie Martinez is the guest editor of next month’s AP

Is there anything Melanie Martinez can’t do? She parlayed her time on The Voice into a major-label record contract. She embarked on sold-out tours. And for her second album, K-12, she created a full-length motion picture counterpart which she wrote, directed and starred in. Clearly, the 24-year-old Martinez is a contemporary polymath. Now she can […]

10 songs to get you hyped for the Area 51 raid next month

Did Oliver Tree actually do that, or is it make-believe?

Every time we check in on one of our favorite viral juggernauts, Oliver Tree, it’s a new adventure.

Awsten Knight: New hair, new book, new record, same old weirdo

Awsten Knight, the mouthpiece of pop-punk mavericks Waterparks, is seemingly on, 24/7/365. But if his loose cannon, mile-a-minute vibe is key to his band’s wondrous spin on pop-punk convention, well hell, we’re going to pick wired over tired every time. But if he’s being honest, that’s not how he wants to be painted. While we’re […]
