In 2022, hardDrive Radio’s Lou Brutus hosted a relaxed, fan-fueled AskAnythingChat with Skillet, and for once, the hard rock giants traded the pyro and power chords for something quieter — honesty. Supporting their album Dominion, the session was meant to be promo. What fans got instead was a candid conversation that showed why Skillet’s 25-year […]

In a world where chart-toppers often come wrapped in million-dollar studios and cinematic music videos, d4vd flipped the script. His track “You Left Me First” — raw, aching, and recorded entirely on his iPhone — has proven that when the emotions are real, the gear doesn’t matter. Q: People can’t believe this track came straight

When Foals released What Went Down in 2015, most listeners were ready for another set of teeth-baring anthems — tracks built to rattle festival fields and test the limits of a sound system. But buried inside that record was a different beast. “Lonely Hunter” didn’t arrive to kick down the door. It drifted in like

After twenty years of tearing down genre walls and rebuilding them in their own image, Bring Me The Horizon have earned their place as one of modern rock’s most fearless shape-shifters. But if you think they’re slowing down, think again. In a candid chat with triple j’s Abby and Tyrone during their 2024 Australian tour,

On April 4, 2025, Thornhill dropped their third full-length album, Bodies — a record that feels like the band stepping into their most fearless, finely honed form yet. Leading the charge is Under the Knife, a track that slices through the noise with precision, atmosphere, and intent, setting a new standard not just for Thornhill,

When Baraka Ongeri, better known as binki, talks about his music, it’s not with the polish of a marketing campaign. He’s not selling a scene, a genre, or even a moment. Raised in North Carolina by Kenyan parents, binki’s sound doesn’t slot neatly anywhere — it’s an instinctive fusion of post-punk sharpness, indie looseness, funk’s

In 2007, indie rock was having its global victory lap — and Arctic Monkeys were at the front of the parade. Fresh off the hype of their debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, the Sheffield four-piece were riding a wave of leather-jacket swagger and lightning-fast success. Enter Nardwuar the Human Serviette

Some songs don’t just play — they pull you under. Hurts Like Hell is one of them. From the first note, it doesn’t ask permission. It grabs you by the chest and drags you straight into the fire — the kind of emotional storm you thought you’d already escaped. Released in December 2024, this isn’t

In 2010, after years of silence and a tidal wave of early hype, Klaxons resurfaced — not to reclaim their old crown, but to throw it into the void and walk away. Their return single, “Echoes”, didn’t just mark a comeback. It was a reintroduction — sharper edges, heavier weight, and a deliberate step away

In 2017, fresh off the release of his debut album What Do You Think About the Car?, Declan McKenna dropped a track that sounded like it belonged on a summer playlist — but hit like an op-ed. “Isombard” is fast, bright, and deceptively sunny, but behind its snap and shimmer lies something sharper: a direct
