Television is a great way to find new music and rediscover old songs. When artists are featured on TV show soundtracks, they are able to dive into a different medium.

As some of our favorite pop-punk bands continue to show us, we have a lot to thank 1990s alternative music for. Not only did the mainstream explosion set the foundations for the genre collective as we know it, but it put quite a number of women on the forefront. While the gender distribution across the alternative genre […]

St. Patrick’s Day is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to drink beer, wear a lot of green and folk dance to some Celtic punk music, even if you’re not Irish.

The ’90s were chock-full of absolute icons, and no, we’re not referring to the Princess Diana Beanie Baby or JNCO jeans when we say that. From Nirvana to *NSYNC, pop and grunge ruled the airwaves.

Now, in a new interview on Rock This with Allison Hagendorf, Cyrus has revealed how rock music has influenced her from a very young age. As well, she shared which artists she credits for paving the […]

There’s no doubt that the relative abundance of “unplugged” performances has skyrocketed in the past year.

Still, though, we can’t help but feel like we’re experiencing a bit of a ’90s cultural revival. If you have […]

Remember the time Hootie And The Blowfish performed on NBC’s Friends and Monica even wound up getting a hickey from one of the band members at a meet and greet after the concert? Of course you do.

The year 2021 stands out for, at the very least, two distinct reasons. One, we all simply could not wait for it to get here and to promptly put the horrific year that was 2020 in our collective rearview mirror. And, two, it’s the year that some of the best albums of the ’90s will […]

There was a time when the “supergroup” was super obvious.

(Classic-rock lovers will recognize this ’80s band to […]

YUNGBLUD doesn’t come across as someone who’d sweat superstition. Sure, he’s proven himself to be introspective, sensitive, even insecure. The new track from the Doncaster growler, “god save me, but don’t drown me out,” will be included on his forthcoming second album, Weird!. Sophomore efforts are inherently daunting affairs for musicians, especially when that debut […]

With the election in full swing, take a look at some of the best politically charged songs from the scene.

Charmed was a groundbreaking show when it premiered on television back in 1998. The magical story of three sister witches—Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) Halliwell—and how they kicked demon ass on a daily basis was a major hit.
