Run River North – Creatures In Your Head
American-Korean indie band Run River North has created a sound for themselves that feels incredibly on track with today’s popular alternative scene but is very strongly unique to the band.
Pale Waves – ‘You Don’t Own Me’
Pale Waves has made a name for themselves as an essential alternative artist, touring with The 1975, Muse, and The Cure. They’ve become known for a dreamy, melancholy alternative rock sound; however, the band is taking a new direction with their upcoming album Who Am I?

Frank Iero And The Future Violence – Heaven Is A Place, This Is A Place
Last year should have been the year of My Chemical Romance, with fans snapping up the tickets to their planned reunion shows within minutes of release. Unfortunately, the pandemic has put an end to those plans or at least delayed them dramatically. Luckily for fans, there’s been a saving grace of new music from much-loved band member Frank Iero, and his latest […]
The Wrecks – Static EP

Hollywood Undead – New Empire, Vol. 2
Los Angeles quintet Hollywood Undead are arguably one of the most recognized rap-rock groups of the 21st century. They are set to release their latest album New Empire, Vol. 2, on December 4.
Phoebe Bridgers – Copycat Killer EP
As most Phoebe Bridgers’ music does, Copycat Killer makes the listener feel like they are part of a cool girl club explicitly made to let out all their emotions. The EP is soft in sound, sharp in lyrics, bringing that chilled sound to the forefront of bedroom pop.
iDKHOW – Razzmatazz
I Don’t Know How But They Found Me (iDKHOW) brings a robust MTV New Wave sound to the alternative charts with their debut full-length album, Razzmatazz. iDKHOW is the project of ex-Panic! At The Disco bassist Dallon Weekes and ex-Falling In Reverse drummer Ryan Seaman.

Machine Gun Kelly – Tickets To My Downfall
Machine Gun Kelly jumps into the pop-punk scene with his fifth studio record: Tickets To My Downfall, produced by Blink 182’s Travis Barker. While the record is still distinctly MGK’s style, the sound takes a turn away from rap/hip hop, the genre of Machine Gun Kelly’s first four albums.
Violet Night – A N T I H E R O E S
Canadian trio Violet Night releases their sophomore album, A N T I H E R O E S, a record that will inevitably be adored by pop-punk fans.
Lacey Sturm on why she’s never written a love song, life after Flyleaf, and the “freedom” rock music brings her
After amicably departing from Flyleaf in 2012 to concentrate on her family, some may have forgotten about ex frontwoman Lacey Sturm, whose trademark screams, high notes, and astounding lyrical acumen made her a mainstay in the alternative subculture of the early aughts. Today, she continues to serve as a force to be reckoned with in alternative rock in 2020.
Deftones – Ohms
Ohms is here, after much anticipation from fans of classic albums like Adrenaline, White Pony, and Deftones.
The Menzingers – From Exile
From Exile is an apt name for the album we didn’t know we needed in 2020, The Menzingers rework of their last album Hello Exile.
