A couple of days ago, I was able to catch up with the lead vocalist of alternative rock band, Yours Truly, to discuss everything that went into the writing of their upcoming EP. Mikaila and I also chatted about her and the band’s core influences, their touring plans, as well as the message the band hopes will resonate with their fans both new and old.

Today is an excellent day to share electronic pop star Bahjat’s new single and music video for his comeback single, “I’m Here.” Bahjat had this to say about the new song that’s a blend between a K-Pop sound paired with a modern flair seen in the most popular music today:
I wrote ‘I’m Here’ during quarantine in 2020. Not only was it such an uncertain time in our lives in general, but I was also getting a lot of pushback from people in the industry who were questioning my vision and my decision to mix Arabic & English lyrics. It’s kind of my ‘comeback’ song in a way, because it captures the moment I got fed up with all the criticism and decided to carve my path on my own terms. Sonically, I wanted to pay tribute to the K-Pop community and the sound of the artists’ debut songs, because I feel like I’m debuting all over again with my new take on global Arabic music, which I’ve been calling ‘A-pop.’
With his sets sight purely on global domination, don’t blame me if you find yourself dancing through to the weekend, courtesy of Bahjat.

Today I’m thrilled to share the latest slice of music from Brooklyn’s own synth-pop powerhouse band, Endearments, for their single “Too Late.” The song feels like a blend of 80’s new wave paired with the sonic brilliance of modern rock bands like Foster the People and Car Seat Headrest. Self-produced by band leader Kevin Marksson at his home studio, he shared this about the new song, “I think breakups have these turning points where you realize things can no longer be fixed. ‘Too Late’ is about those moments—recognizing when you’re being taken for granted, and saying enough is enough.” Endearments have found the right balance between being at their breaking point while still remaining true to who they are as artists.

Apparently Mark Hoppus found some rare Dude Ranch-era material, according to a fan report from his Discord:
This week on his Discord, he said that he finally came into possession of the multitrack master reels for Dude Ranch, which we all believed were burned in the warehouse fire a few years ago. This morning, Mark said that there are recordings of 2 non-album songs. One is labeled “Voyeur 2” and one is “Don Keydick.” He is still in Italy so he’s not able to listen to them yet, but he believes “Don Keydick” is the second non-album song that was on the Dude Ranch demo tape.
Sky Ferreira has returned with the new song “Don’t Forget.”

Today I’m thrilled to share the latest single and music video from Brooklyn, NY’s own Living Room for the song “Flood.” The track is the third single to be released from their upcoming record New Years that will be released everywhere music is sold on June 10th via Fear Icon Records. Living Room reminds me of the emo spirit of Thursday, paired with the great hooks of LA Dispute, and they wear their influences so fervently on their sleeves while adding something new to the scene. Guitarist/vocalist John Nicholls had this to say about “Flood:”
In March of 2020 my ex-girlfriend and I were still living together, riding out the lease. I had turned our office/music room into my new dwelling where I spent almost all of my time. Covid had just hit and I was ‘sheltering in place’ and unemployed. When I wasn’t sleeping, drinking, or doing other things to distract myself from the strange and unpleasant reality I was in, I was left to actually think about it. ‘Flood’ is about this time in my life. It’s about the ways we can deceive ourselves when we try to escape or hide from our reality. It’s about the things I’d done and not done that led me to that situation. And it’s about how I was still spending a lot of energy to uphold a fiction that I would wake up in the life I wanted if I kept going this way.
If you’re enjoying this latest taste of music from Living Room, there is still time to pre-order New Years here.
