Review: Palette Knife – Keyframe

Palette Knife - Keyframe

The latest album from math rock/emo band, Palette Knife, is a windows-down blast of punk rock energy fit for the soundtrack of your summer. Keyframe features plenty of nerdy math rock elements, paired with great guitar breakdowns, and soaring melodies that get back to the early 00’s heyday of when pop-punk was king. The three-piece band from Ohio is Alec Licata (lead vocals/guitar), Chris McGrath (bass/vocals), and Aaron Queener (drums/vocals), and they highlight their growth as a band here. Palette Knife continue to “sharpen their blade” and have made their most immediately gratifying work to date on Keyframe.

Green Day Comedy Changes Name to ‘Nimrods’

Green Day

The upcoming Green Day-inspired film has had its name changed to Nimrods.

Nimrods is a coming-of-age film centering on three high school friends who set out on a wild road trip under the mistaken assumption that their fledgling band has been booked to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve. The story is based on Green Day’s real-life adventures while living in a van before the success of Dookie, their 1994 Grammy-winning major label debut album that has since been certified as double-diamond.

Review: Clarion – Blue Fairy

Clarion - Blue Fairy

Coming off of the success of their debut, self-titled EP, Clarion have returned with Blue Fairy, a follow-up EP that expands upon the sound the East LA noise-rock/shoegaze band set out to create when they first formed in 2023. Their initial breakthrough single of “Hello Juliet” has since been streamed over 20 million times across all platforms, and Clarion appear poised to breakout in a big way on Blue Fairy. Clarion is Saya Oliva (vocals/bass), Joseph Quezada (drums), and Anthony Sanchez (guitar), and they’re built for sustained success on this vibrant new record brimming with unlimited potential for the band.
