Girl Tones Drop “Volcano” and Hit the Road

January 16, 2026

Girl Tones are not slowing down. They’ve just dropped their new single “Volcano,” and it feels like a statement that is raw, confident, and fueled by pressure rather than fear. The high-energy rock duo, made up of sisters Kenzie and Laila, have a way of turning chaos into something powerful, and this track captures that perfectly. Watch the video here for Volcano: And they’re wasting no time getting back on the road. Later this month, Girl Tones head out on a West Coast run with Dexter and The Moonrocks, followed by March dates alongside Peter McPoland. If you’ve seen them live, you already know this band thrives on the stage. We’ve really been loving what Girl Tones have been doing lately, every release feels more locked in, more fearless. They were just announced as a showcasing artist at SXSW, and festival season is shaping up in a big way. They’ll be heading overseas for The Great Escape in the UK, then back to the U.S. for Bonnaroo, BottleRock Napa, Treefort, and Outside Days. We’re especially [Read More]

Finding a Kindred Spirit: Jody Glenham’s “Overtime”

January 16, 2026

Sometimes you stumble across an artist at exactly the right moment — and that’s what happened when I first heard Jody Glenham. I came across her music while scrolling on Instagram, hit play on her new song Overtime, and instantly found myself grinning ear to ear. That kind of smile you can’t fake — the kind that only happens when something truly connects. It felt like being introduced to a kindred spirit, a voice that felt familiar in the best possible way. From the very first listen, I couldn’t wait to share it. Overtime is refreshing in a way that’s hard to come by. It’s honest, emotional, with a quiet power in the song, the kind that comes from lived experience and real feeling, and it reminded me why discovering new music still feels so magical. Check out the video for the new track here and prepare to take off on a musical journey: There’s something really special about artists who keep creating, keep pushing forward, and keep showing up, and that’s exactly what [Read More]

Anthea Unveil New Single “Phantom in the Masquerade”

January 16, 2026

Los Angeles symphonic metal outfit Anthea have unveiled their powerful new single “Phantom in the Masquerade,” officially out now via Rockshots Records and on all digital platforms. The track is the first glimpse into the band’s forthcoming third full-length album, Beyond The Dawn, and signals the beginning of Anthea’s most ambitious and theatrical era yet. “Phantom in the Masquerade” dives deep into the emotional weight of feeling unseen while surrounded by others. That sense of isolation is translated into a dramatic and immersive soundscape, pairing haunting atmosphere with a strong melodic core. The track pulls you into a darker, more introspective space, one that feels designed for late-night listening rather than casual background play. It balances vulnerability and intensity and still sets the emotional tone for what lies ahead. “‘Phantom in the Masquerade’ is one of the most theatrical songs we’ve written. We wanted it to feel both catchy and haunting, with lyrics that capture the experience of being surrounded by people yet completely unseen. It sets the stage for the dramatic direction we’ve been [Read More]

Gunshine Kick Off 2026 With Hook-Heavy New Single “Goth Girl”

January 16, 2026

Gunshine are kicking off 2026 with confidence and attitude, unveiling their new single “Goth Girl” as the first taste of what’s to come on their upcoming full-length album Grand Rising, due out digitally July 24 via Create Music Group. “Goth Girl” hits fast and sticks hard. It’s a hook-heavy, swagger-filled track that blends melody, edge, and just the right amount of danger. It’s playful without being gimmicky, gritty without losing its shine, and showcases exactly why Gunshine continue to stand out in a crowded rock landscape. The song also features a collaboration with acclaimed songwriter and producer Brian Howes, whose touch adds polish while still letting the band’s personality lead the way. Austin Ingerman comments, “It started with several vocal melodies and a riff I had, then Jordan had a lyrical concept about a goth girl. We then collaborated with Brian Howes, and he loved it and we finished the rest of the song in Vancouver, Canada with him. It was the first time we finished writing something on the spot just before tracking it, [Read More]

The Funeral Portrait Bring “Suffocate City” to Life on a Powerful New Live Album

January 16, 2026

The Funeral Portrait aren’t just having a moment, they’re building something that feels bigger than numbers, charts, or industry buzz. Over the past year, the Atlanta band has transformed from rising favorites into a full blown force, powered by relentless touring, theatrical intensity, and a fanbase that doesn’t just show up, they scream every word back. Being named one of Pandora’s Artists to Watch only reinforced what fans already knew. The Funeral Portrait didn’t just meet expectations in 2025, they shattered them. Two #1 Active Rock singles, “Holy Water” and “Suffocate City,” put the band firmly in the spotlight, while their latest track “Dark Thoughts” continues its climb and shows no signs of slowing down. But what truly defines this band isn’t chart placement, it’s their connection. That connection is on full display with Live From Suffocate City, the band’s first ever live album, released via Better Noise Music. Captured during a sold-out hometown show at The Masquerade in Atlanta, the album pulls listeners directly into the chaos, catharsis, and emotional release of The Funeral [Read More]
