Ace Enders – “Wide Awake”
Zach Bryan Sets Concert Record
Zach Bryan made history this weekend by performing for the largest ticketed concert audience in US history.
The sold-out show packed about 112,000 fans inside Michigan Stadium for headliner Zach Bryan and openers John Mayer and Ryan Bingham and the Texas Gentlemen and Joshua Slone.
Public tickets for the concert sold out over the course of just two hours back in February. The 112,000 ticket sales set Saturday’s concert up to be the most-attended non-festival concert in North American history.
The Starting Line Talk With Rolling Stone
The Starting Line caught up with Rolling Stone to talk about their new album:
I had held the first three records on some sort of pedestal because we were playing them so much and people obviously had an attachment to those songs. And so when I was telling [Tim] that I don’t know if people are gonna care, he just said, ‘I think that’s just insecurity talking.’ And he explained that if we did want to make a record, it would just be a higher likelihood of people getting to hear it in general. He said that even putting our efforts on a seven inch, you’re just minimising the chances of people being exposed to it. And that sounded very sensical to me. So, and as soon as he said the insecurity thing, it really was a perfect reverse psychology on me where I was like, ‘I’m not insecure. I’m better at songwriting now than I’ve ever been.’ And I do feel that in my heart of hearts.

Jack Antonoff responded to the head of Live Nation, Michael Rapino, who said on a recent earnings call that concert ticket prices were too cheap:
I always joke: Sports – it’s like a badge of honor to spend 70 grand for a Knicks courtside [seat]. They beat me up if we charge $800 for Beyonce, right? We have a lot of runway left. So when you read about the ticket prices going up, it’s still – average concert price is $72. Try going to a Laker game for that, and there’s 80 of them, or whatever the hell. So the concert is underpriced, has been for a long time.
answer is simple: selling a ticket for more than its face value should be illegal. then there is no chaos and you give us back the control instead of creating a bizarre free market of confusion amongst the audience who we love and care for.

Review: The Starting Line – Eternal Youth
18 years. There’s something a bit romantic about the amount of time that it took The Starting Line to follow up 2007’s brilliant LP of Direction. While turning 18 years old seems to signify our final path towards adulthood and leaving our youth behind, the reality behind this landmark age is that our lives are just beginning. Eternal Youth comes at just the right moment in time for our scene that is experiencing another surge and resurgence with bands like Motion City Soundtrack, Yellowcard, and now The Starting Line making new music again that is both worthy of their past legacy, while simultaneously moving the needle of creativity forward in their musical journey. The Starting Line first arrived in the pop-punk scene with Say It Like You Mean It, a widely adored scene staple via Drive-Thru Records, and yet it made sense for the band to outgrow that genre with stylistic choices made on Based on a True Story and eventually Direction. Eternal Youth signifies the band recognizing that the pop-punk genre is reminiscent of, as Kenny Vasoli put it in an interview I conducted with him in 2022: “I do know that we’re a pop punk band. And it’s a genre that sort of represents nostalgia and eternal youth, which I’m totally able to appreciate.” Wait, did Kenny drop the name of his returning LP for all the world to see and we all missed it until now? Eternal Youth to me represents the best version of The Starting Line, and I’m so happy that they’re back.

There’s something to be said when a young band fully realizes their vision for their music right off the bat. Abandcalledlove has released their debut EP, called Thriving Season, that tackles the themes of resilience, addiction and recovery, paired with ultra-relatable elements like the complexities of relationships. The band was formed in early 2020 by Ryan Chandler Love (vocals/guitar/keyboards) and Ian Joshua Riley (guitar/production), while later adding into the fold Blake Aldridge (guitar), Brooks Roberts (bass) and Austin Yagle (drums). “Thriving Season is exactly what its title suggests,” Love explains. “It represents growth, struggle, and finally learning how to embrace yourself and your surroundings. Every song carries a piece of that journey, and I think listeners will connect with the vulnerability as much as the energy.” By putting a strong first step forward, Abandcalledlove have delivered the music that is sure to win over plenty of new fans willing to take a chance on “love.”
