Machine Gun Kelly Fan Falls Through Opening In Stage

Being an MGK fan is one long humiliation ritual. On Thursday (March 5), the rapper-turned-rocker performed at London’s O2 Arena and invited a bunch of audience members onstage during his song “bloody valentine.” An especially unfortunate one fell right through an opening in the uniquely (dangerously!) designed stage.

I implore you to listen to Arima Ederra’s sophomore album A Rush To Nowhere. The Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter’s follow-up to 2022’s An Orange Colored Day captures that feeling when your lungs make room for extra oxygen and life slows down. Things begin to feel more tangible, clearer. A Rush To Nowhere has an urgent ’80s rock…

DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – “HeartsDesires”

We’re spoiled. The mysterious sample wizard known as DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ releases so much warm, nostalgia-drenched music that you can just immerse yourself in her sound and lose all touch with reality. That’s a fun thing to do. I recommend it. In December, DJ Sabrina released her fantastical album Fantasy, which is 40…

John Dwyer Shares Surprise New OSEES EP Cara Maluco, Damaged Bug Single “Over-Exposed”

I wonder if psychedelic garage rock overlord John Dwyer can keep all of his projects straight in his mind. He definitely doesn’t make it easy for anyone else. Dwyer releases a lot of music under a lot of different names, and two of his projects, OSEES and Damaged Bug, have new tracks out today. OSEES,…
