Thirsty Curses – “Starting To Remember How Much I Forgot” (Song Premiere)

Today is a great day to share the news that Thirsty Curses are gearing up to release a new album called Frank-N-Stein. On top of that news, the band is sharing the lead single of “Starting To Remember How Much I Forgot.” The band shared, “‘Starting to Remember How Much I Forgot'” is the lead single from our forthcoming album, Frank-N-Stein. The track pulls from classic alternative rock influences such as The Replacements and Elvis Costello and blends humor and existential unease around themes of disorientation, fragmented memory, and the search for meaning. There’s also a banging horn section over the choruses.” If you’re enjoying the track, please consider supporting the band by pre-ordering the new album here.

If there’s one thing you can say about The Maine, it’s that they know how to put together a great show from top to bottom. During the concert I attended in Washington, D.C. at the legendary 9:30 Club, The Maine’s first headlining tour in nearly 2 years, the experience was incredible. The energy in the crowd was fairly consistent from the time Broadside took the stage, things kept moving during Grayscale, and the audience vibed with the synth rock of Nightly. The Maine proved they belonged on top of the billing, and possibly the world, with a career-spanning set of 22 songs that had at least one track from each of the band’s ten studio albums.

Today is a great day to share the latest single from British pop-punk band, Goldstate, for their song called “Blessing In Disguise.” Having signed to Manic Kat Records along with the release of “Deep End” in February, this track is an introspective helping of melancholy, emboldened by the band’s vibrant hooks and sonic potency. On the new output, lead vocalist Ben Pritchard shares: “’Blessing In Disguise’ is a track about lost love, but not in the way you expect it to be. It’s about the breakdown of a relationship that initially makes you grieve that loss, but with time and clarity you realize that the door closing was actually the healthiest thing that could have happened to you – a blessing, in disguise.” If you’re enjoying the premiere, please consider streaming more of this band’s music here.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and music video from South London indie folk band, Gently Tender, called “Wild In The Uplands.” The band explains, “‘Wild in the Uplands’ is a song about escape from city to country. It’s about not having respect for fences and private land, roaming free and getting into mischief. Out of all the illegal activities a person can partake in, trespassing is one of the most exhilarating!” The second single from Gently Tender’s new EP called This Was Once Fields, “Wild In The Uplands” captures the free spirit of the band perfectly. If you’re enjoying the video, please consider supporting the band here.

Today is a great day to share the new music video from San Antonio-based punk rock band, Fea, called ”Careful.” The band shares, “‘Careful’ is my personal anthem—a reminder to speak up and not walk on eggshells for anyone. Abuse comes in many forms, and conditioning a person is one of them. I was lucky to have a strong support system, but not everyone has that. Writing this song was cathartic, and I hope it helps anyone who’s been through a similar situation.” The track is especially timely amid broader conversations around sexual assault, abuse of power, and the pressures on women to stay small and quiet—issues that resonate deeply within punk and music communities. With “Careful,” Fea aim to speak directly to younger women and LGBTQ+ listeners, offering guidance from lived experience: be unapologetic, speak up, and don’t shrink yourself for anyone. If you’re enjoying the new music video, please consider supporting the band here.

Last week I attended “The Soundtrack of Your Life” tour at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland that featured the opening acts of Arrows In Action and I Don’t Know How But They Found Me, and was headlined by Boys Like Girls. Each of the bands put on a great set of music that covered multiple phases of their respective careers, and the fans in attendance for the sold out concert showed their appreciation for the three-band lineup throughout the evening. While the openers did a great job of getting the crowd ready for Boys Like Girls, it was the headliners who rightfully stole the show by burning through two full albums (Love Drunk and Boys Like Girls) in breakneck fashion. Boys Like Girls put on one hell of a performance, they showed their deepest of appreciation for their fans who spent their hard-earned money to see them, and simultaneously proved the lasting power of the pop-punk genre.
