Released on Friday, April 23, via Airbag Records, High Functioning’s eponymous debut EP is a white-hot thrasher. It’s fast-paced punk at its finest, compact but more than enough to tide you over.

Formed by three talented musicians with years of touring and recording experience under their belts, Twin XL has quietly been rising to the top since they released their first single, ‘Good’, in 2019.
2020 has not been the best of years for the average music fan, with concerts and the like generally taking a backseat as we all figure out how to navigate this strange new world. Fans of LA-based indie rockers The Wrecks have been luckier than most, however. The band released their debut album, Infinitely Ordinary, back in May, and now a […]
Taylor Swift has spent the best part of her career defying all odds. From her humble beginnings as the darling of country to her more recent successes in the world of pop, she’s very much incapable of putting out anything short of stunning.
Seattle rockers Acceptance were cutting their teeth in the music scene before a considerable amount of contemporarily popular bands were even past their youth.
Los Angeles indie rockers The Wrecks have been making waves as of late, and their incredible debut album truly is the cherry on top.
