  • Dragged Under Premiere New Song “Rebel Son Rise!”

    Dragged Under have shared a lyric video for their new song “Rebel Son Rise!.” Vocalist Tony Cappocchi said the following about that track:

    “Since we wrote the last record, I’ve become a father to two amazing kids. This song is a message about how cruel the world can be, and it’s a plea for them to find their own path and always put their convictions and truth ahead of what society wants them to be — whether that relates to the social status quo, politics, or religion. I just want them to be rebels and realize that what’s popular or approved by their peers isn’t always what’s right. It’s perfectly acceptable to be the one swimming against the current.”

  • AXTY Premiere “nothing but pain” Music Video

    AXTY have premiered a new video for their new song “nothing but pain.” This track is from the band’s new album, “The Pain Made Me Who I Am,” which will be released on August 21. Frontman Felipe Hervoso said the following about the single:

    “‘nothing but pain’ is a raw, zero-filtering look at what it means to completely lose hope and struggle for survival. It leans hard into the darkest aspects of mental anguish, capturing the suffocating feeling of being dragged under by your own thoughts. It is a straightforward, uncompromising track built for anyone who appreciates music with real, messy, and authentic human emotion.”

  • Hillhaven Premiere “Dead Doesn’t Hurt” Video

    Hillhaven have released a new song titled “Dead Doesn’t Hurt.” You can find an official video for that track below:

    Vocalist Chris Kelly commented:

    “‘Dead Doesn’t Hurt’ came from a series of conversations I had with a close friend, who’d recently endured a pretty nasty betrayal. Several emotional parallels were drawn between loss through betrayal and loss through death, both of which effectively share the same five ‘stages.’ The one stage in which the two seem to differ the most is Stage 2: Anger. In cases of betrayal, it can often feel as though it would be easier if the person who’d hurt you were dead; not out of a lust for violence, but due to the simple fact that the person who’d once been a source of comfort has not disappeared, but instead become the source of your greatest pain.

    There can be no solace through celebrating fond memories or shared sentiments of being ‘in a better place.’ All you’ve got is the hurt and, in your darkest moments, the only thing you wish for is for them to feel the same pain. It is this feeling, through my own experience and observing that of others, which gave birth to the lyrical hook: ‘No one ever prays for bloodshed / But one of these days, it’ll be your turn / To live a life that’s haunted / To watch your love become a curse / You are my parasite / I don’t want you dead, ’cause Dead Doesn’t Hurt.’”

  • Siamese Premiere New Song “sense”

    Siamese have premiered a new song titled “sense.” This track is from their new album, “dissolution,” which will be released on June 26. Singer Mirza Radonjica said the following about the single:

    “‘sense’ is a song where the truth becomes a liability. There’s a constant pressure for the artist to self-censor in order to protect its business but at the cost of losing all of authenticity. Artists all over the world are being bent out of shape to fit into a lens that fits a collective narrative that’s acceptable, because a few powerful outlets decided it is.”

  • Former Parkway Drive Employee Jed Gordon Sentenced After Pleading Guilty To Sex With Minor

    According to ABC, Jed Gordon, Parkway Drive’s former merch guy and the brother of drummer Ben Gordon, has been sentenced after pleading guilty to having sex with a minor. That incident occurred when he was in his early 20s and the victim was “14 or over and under 16.” He was given a three-year community corrections order, a two-year apprehended domestic violence order, and 300 hours of community service. He will also be placed on the child protection register.

    Jed initially contacted the victim via text and engaged in sexual intercourse multiple times between 2002 and 2003. One meeting even resulted in a hospital visit for a morning-after pill after a condom broke.

    The victim said the following:

    “The sexual and emotional abuse that he subjected me to has hindered my ability to navigate romantic, platonic, family and professional relationships.

    Because of this I have experienced re-victimisation in emotionally abusive relationships, domestic violence or sexual harassment, assault and rape multiple times. I have been unable to care and provide for my children in the capacity that they deserve, as well as being unable to care for myself.”

    Jed confessed during a lawfully recorded phone call with the victim last year. However, Judge Geoffrey Dunlevy decided to give him a lighter sentence after seeing “significant insight” for remorse.

    For their part, Parkway Drive previously condemned Jed for his actions.
