Kill Your Stereo

We sent Holly Evans along to emo mecca in Brisbane, The Brightside, in order to check out the goings-on for Belle Haven and The Beautiful Monument's tour date! A rainy weekend did nothing to dampen the spirits of the punters at the show - and it was an EPIC night.

Kelly Osbourne, daughter of shock-rocker Ozzy Osbourne and singer/muso herself, has taken to instagram to announce that she and partner Sid Wilson from Slipknot are expecting a child together!

It's been quite the day for heavy/alternative artists collaborating or releasing EDM/Electronic Music. If you are into AFI's Davey Havok and Jade Puget, you will already know Blaqk Audio. Today, they dropped a new single, Blue Cherry. It's Sultry, it's moody, it's EMO and we love it.

Five Finger Death Punch cop a hiding online sometimes, but hey, 'Nickelback' them all ya like, they sell tickets, they stream their asses off (over 8 billion streams to date), they connect with their audience like the best of them. Today they have dropped the news about their new record 'AFTERLIFE' and ripped out a new single, 'IOU'.

We will never NOT cover anything Spiritbox/Courtney LaPlante related. So, in that spirit (*giggle*) we recommend that you get this in your ears immediately. Illenium is an EDM artist who has previously collaborated with I Prevail and more, so there is pedigree and history here on heavy music/EDM projects. It features SOARING vocals from Courtney, then some screams then a FAT dubstep breakdown, so, you know, PLAY ON!

Ratking are releasing their new EP 'Nervous Nature' on Friday June 17 - and they dropped an absolute ripper of a track in 'Panic Station' last month, so we had to catch up with AJ from the band about it. Alex Callan jumped on Zoom to get the lowdown.

When we say HOT DAMN! - yes, that's a reference to the emo/hardcore club night of old, cos SHEESH that's what these Panic! At The Metro nights feel like. What a sophomore event - The Getaway Plan, Waxflower, Grenade Jumper, Father Deer Hands & Keepsake! All for $25 and in Sydney's Metro Theatre. What a time to be an elder emo.

“I think Palace is the perfect song to reacquaint ourselves with listeners after the 2 year gap between original releases. Life just seemed to imitate art with a lot of the songs we’ve been working on but this one in particular sets the tone perfectly for what we have planned for the rest of the year.”

SOS! MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE HAVE RELEASED NEW MUSIC! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

They're back! Swedish post-hardcore/metalcore have returned with their first new music since 2019 today with brand new single and video 'Alone', out now through Arising Empire.

Not gonna lie, this was a bucket list interview for me and we had a bloody awesome chat. Thanks Loz for your time, pick up a ticket to the SLEEPS SOCIETY tour with Loathe & Mirrors NOW!
