Silverstein are back with an explosive new track “Bankrupt.” Following their latest full-length A Beautiful Place To Drown and back catalog revamps on Redux II last year, “Bankrupt” marks their first new song of 2021. The post-hardcore staples aren’t holding back with an energetic new video for the rage-fueled track that serves as a commentary […]

Despite being heralded as a widely inclusive space, the pop-punk scene has been historically male-dominated. It’s an uncomfortable reality for many, but as iconic artists such as Hayley Williams drag it, kicking and screaming, into the forefront of discussion, we maintain hope that marginalized artists might one day not be regarded as anomalies. In honor […]

The further we get into our scene “phases,” the more we understand the concept of “love and loss” as it pertains to music. Over the years, we’ve lost a number of our favorite bands to breakups and significant genre changes. Fortunately, though, there are still a number who have stayed active and alternative. While it’s easy to […]

If we had to pick one band from Canada keeping the scene alive, it would have to be Silverstein. No question.

Who among us hasn’t fantasized about living the rock star life? (Well, besides rappers.) Seriously though, who wouldn’t want a gig like that? The tears of the bright-eyed are the lubrication that keeps the rock ‘n’ roll machine pumping along. But what if a life of stardom could be gleaned from the stars themselves? In […]

The 2010s started with the release of the iPhone 4 and ended with the election of Donald Trump, who one-downed nearly every single global calamity daily with 280 characters on Twitter. On the mainstream music front, one could argue that the 2010s was the birthplace to the second British invasion, with acts such as Adele, […]

In 2003, major scene bands were gaining popularity on the Warped Tour circuit. The musical mixture of emo, pop punk and punk was growing in both the mainstream and the underground. As some of the millennium’s biggest names in the alternative scene started changing their sound, younger musicians joined in with their own take on […]

The year is 2005, and new gadgets are being introduced constantly. iPod Nano made its debut, and what could be considered the first video social media, YouTube, launched as well. This new platform encouraged artists to create easy, accessible music videos. Despite the low-quality, primarily small-budgeted videos, some bands went all out. Here’s a list […]

After Silverstein and Four Year Strong effortlessly dominated all of our Myspace profile players, filling us with enough angst that our teenage bullshit had a body count and survived the trenches of Warped Tour, we still have one question: How have they never toured together? In what seems like 20 years in the making, Silverstein […]

Post-hardcore broke out as a movement in a huge way during the first decade of the 2000s while shaping how people view the genre today. Countless others had pioneered the genre throughout the ’80s and ’90s, but bands such as Glassjaw, At The Drive-In and Boysetsfire helped push it to new heights. Take a look […]

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 […]

There are thousands of podcasts out there, and more are uploaded each day.

Go ahead and take a break from streaming music to try out one of these podcasts or radio shows hosted […]

Silverstein frontman, Shane Told, spent summers of his formative years watching bands like NOFX and Blink-182 take the stage at the Van’s Warped Tour and dreamt of one day doing the same.
