  • Punk Band Bayside Release New Single “The Devils” Along with New Album

    Queens-based punk act Bayside have announced the release of their latest single, “The Devils,” along with new album There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive.

    Bayside creates music to captivate audiences with a mix of introspective storytelling and powerful blend of punk, rock, and metal. The band’s latest single and album are set to leave an indelible mark on the music scene. Bayside hopes to be reviewed as one of the most influential bands of their generation.

    The band has always focused on creating songs that are relevant to people who want substance, rather than a specific genre. Bayside rejects coasting on past success and proves time and again that the best is yet to come.

    The new single, “The Devils” has a very catchy melody with soaring vocals and a mix of chugging and wailing guitar riffs. This textbook pop-punk track has quite punchy drumbeats throughout, impressive metalcore guitar solos, and vocals packed with emotion.

    The single offers a sound that resembles that of an action movie soundtrack. The band’s music has changed quite a bit over the years. It has turned from alt-punk to more pop-punk, and both sounds fit the musicians well.

     “We just wanted to write a ripper that keeps you on your toes. The chant was a melody that I kept humming to myself when I was walking my dogs. I put some words to it and we were going to use it as a bridge. We loved it so much we thought the song had to start that way.”

  • Gramercy Arms Announce Latest Power Pop Single, “After the After Party”

    NYC-based Indie-pop group Gramercy Arms has announced the release of their latest single, “After the After Party.” The track is also the opening tune on their upcoming album, The Making Of the Making Of.

    The “revolving” collective is masterminded by Dave Derby and producer, Ray Ketchem. The latest single is a yearnful power-pop work of art about regret and missed opportunities. The latest Gramercy Arms track was produced, recorded and mixed by Ray Ketchem at Magic Door Recording in Montclair, NJ. This record was mastered with help from award-winning engineer Greg Calbi.

    Gramercy Arms has an interesting ability of making a sad song feel happy, and vice versa. “After the After Party” does exactly that. The tune has upbeat, poppy guitar and vocals, but with a note of melancholy. The indie and alternative guitar tones allow for a glimpse of nostalgic regret to sneak in. Those same guitar tones allow for a summery reminiscence within a soup of blueness.

    Stay updated on Gramercy Arms and their upcoming album, The Making Of the Making Of. For more information on the band’s single, and other projects, click here.

  • The Suicide Disease Release Latest Single “Constellations”

    New York Grunge band The Suicide Disease has released their latest single, “Constellations” this past Valentine’s Day. The ballad was released under Zodhiac Records and was produced by Ricky Armellino of Ice Nine Kills and KJ Strock.

    Constellations The Suicide Disease

    The Suicide Disease creates alternative, grungy, pop-rock style music. The release of “Constellations” exemplifies each of these subgenres. The song is a love letter written to loved ones who have passed or been distanced.

    “Constellations” has quite the emotional, yearning-for-past-joy kind of feel. They miss the people they once held close and that is apparent throughout the song from beginning to end.

    The guitar tones are somber, but still pop-punky. The song definitely gets you to feel a ball of emotion in your stomach, whether you relate to the message or not.

    The band wears their hearts on their sleeves, and that is one thing that allows for raw, passionate music like this. The group is from the south shore of Long Island, and is gaining popularity across the country.

    The Suicide Disease make melodic metal music that offers solace to people dealing with loss. The group understands firsthand the effects of their namesake, the chronic pain disorder disease Trigeminal Neuralgia.

    “This was a sad song for me to write. The first line really says it all, ‘take my stars away with daylight’s arc’. As we try to communicate to those that are no longer with us in the stars at night time it’s inevitable that daylight will return – then reality sets in and we must come face-to-face with the fact that they are no longer with us.”

    Lead Singer Jay Francis

    The group exists in their own genre but have sound pieces of New Order and The Cure. The Suicide Disease recorded their first demo on a cassette tape in 2021 and drove around with a boombox in hopes that they could share it with the right people. The four piece was discovered at a show by Steve Feinberg, who took on managing the band and shared with Ricky Armellino to produce.
