Living Room – “Flood” (Video Premiere)
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.

Sponsor: ‘The Futile’ Now in Stores
Dane Johns has released his new novel, The Futile, which one reader described as “Hunger Games on the Warped Tour.” The pitch is simple:
In a near future world, where critics of the authoritarian leader are imprisoned and media has become a state sponsored tool for repression, one young punk rock band goes on the road to start a revolution with their music. Written with plenty of humor and heart, The Futile is ultimately a book about how people have the power to change themselves—and the world—even in the darkest of times.
The author is a long time punk and and emo music and the book is filled with various references to bands like Colour Revolt, Foxing, Now, Now, mewithoutYou, Pussy Riot, The Copyrights, and many more. You can order the book here, and make sure you check out the author’s website to get a free zine and various buttons/stickers made for the release.

The debut EP from multi-instrumentalist Cal Stamp (Spirit Animal, Record Heat) finds him brilliantly stepping into his own sound while giving subtle nods to the great music that he’s inspired by. The tracks that make up the initial batch of songs found on NYLON come from a larger sample of music from Cal Stamp’s planned trio of EPs. Stamp described the direction of the material by stating, “All these songs could easily coexist on the same record. They’re essentially my take on 1980s guitar pop, but within that you’ve got the more synth-driven yacht rock of NYLON, the sun-soaked SoCal jangle of DENIM, and the straight-ahead rock ’n’ roll of LEATHER – each representing a different strand of my own musical DNA.” With a breezy, 80’s new wave sound paired with breathy vocals and excellent production, Cal Stamp is setting off on the right foot.

Today I’m pumped to share the latest single from indie punk trio, TheWorst, for their song “This House Didn’t Build Itself.” The track comes from the band’s upcoming sophomore record, Yes Regrets, that will be released in full on June 3rd. For those unfamiliar with the band, they sound like a combination of the best parts of the early 00’s New Jersey emo scene, paired with the punk rock spirit of Joan Jett. Lead vocalist and guitarist, Brooke Binion, had this to share about the latest single and the overall direction of Yes Regrets, “It’s exhausting living this way where you’re constantly punishing yourself. I’ve been through a lot, and most of it was self-inflicted, but this record is just about that pain you can cause yourself and those regrets that wear you down.”
If you’re enjoying this song as much as I think most of you will, please consider pre-ordering the new album here.
