January 16, 2025

Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens has just released his debut single for his solo project HAUNTED MOUTHS. He will be releasing a full album titled A Collection of Greetings on February 14th via Rise Records. A release on Valentine’s Day is perfect since this album is truly a love letter, both figuratively and literally. Reading Julia Cameron’s 1992 self-help book, The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, kickstarted a new approach in Kellin’s songwriting. This new record is a romantic love letter, literally and figuratively, and a celebration of life’s rich complexity. It’s a singular experience, with each song demanding a listen to the next. Haunted Mouths wraps an invitingly familiar voice in powerful, dreamlike soundscapes. Brimming with atmosphere and mood, the name pays homage to the cemetery near Kellin Quinn’s childhood home. The first single to be released is the opening track, Further Til We Disappear and delivers a sound and style much different from his previous work. He brings to life a dark synth wave blended with shoe gaze and ambient, [Read More]

January 16, 2025

One of our favorite bands, The Velveteers have just released a killer new single along with a new video for their song, Bound to Leather. The track is off their upcoming full length album, A Million Knives which is set for a February 14th release via Easy Eye Sound. About the track, frontwoman Demi Demitro comments, “To me, ‘Bound In Leather’ feels like looking through a kaleidoscope. t’s a song about feeling bound in your skin, the chorus in part being inspired by a type of dysphoria. Feeling trapped by your own skin and wishing you weren’t bound by its limitations here on earth. It also has many themes of feeling guarded and needing someone to prove their trust to you, ’cause they aren’t going to win it over so easily. When we started coming up with the lyrics, I was singing and Dan kept telling me to sing higher and higher. Singing falsetto is something I don’t normally do but it just felt really right for the song. Check out the new [Read More]

DREAMGAZE BAND PANIK FLOWER set to release EP Rearview on April 30th

January 14, 2025

Rising New York dreamgaze band PANIK FLOWER have announced the upcoming release of their EP rearview on April 30th. They are sharing a taste of the EP with the release of their song alkaline. Guitarist and vocalist Mila Stieglitz-Courtney shares about the new track, “Jordan brought this to us a long time ago, and I remember being incredibly persistent about having to flesh it out. Vocalist Sage Leopold continues, “We spent a lot of time perfecting the wall of sound at the beginning of this track – we wanted to capture a certain intensity with this part while also having it be fuzzy and warm. The dynamics swiftly shift into a more pared back, sparse instrumental which really plays with this push-pull dualism that a lot of the EP encompasses. You’re then thrust into this super driving chorus. The whole song really has this sense of yearning from instrumentals to lyrics.” Check out the new lyric video for the track: ABOUT PANIK FLOWER: Through a chain of chance introductions and long-time friendships, PANIK [Read More]
