10 Obscure 90s Alternative Rock Tracks With an Emo Tinge. Top Story - October 2026.
While grunge went mainstream in the 90s, hundreds of pop-punk, post-hardcore and early-emo bands were bubbling under the radar, waiting for their genre to have its turn in the spotlight. Unfortunately, many of these bands dissolved before the culture shifted in the mid-2000s. We can't go back in time and change the course of history, but we can enjoy their albums today--and I think it's time for the Internet to appreciate what these groups contributed to the music world.

My Exclusive Interview With Chloe Drallos. Top Story - September 2026.
With Western-inspired aesthetics and dark, unsettling videos, Chloe Drallos doesn't just release albums: she builds a surreal world with mysterious figures, Americana imagery and echoing vocals that make you imagine a cowgirl riding alone at sunset. Her latest record, The Cave , is a haunting addition to her discography. In this interview, I learned more about The Cave , her conglomerate (it's not what you think!) and how she used her influences to shape the Acid Western genre.

Pumps, Pirouettes, and Pop Perfection: Inside ADĂLAâs Must-Listen Debut Album PRIMA. Top Story - September 2026.
As I embark on my 23rd anniversary of celebrating living in the United States as a proud Slavic immigrant who " was like eight working the night shift to learn English...I'm like a spy, I studied this shit, call me the KG, bitch "...I feel very assimilated, proud, and comfortable calling myself a Polish-American, feeling content in that identity marker, and determined to fill the prophecy of being successful in my own right and on my own terms.

10 Weirdcore Tracks That Sound Like a Fever Dream. Top Story - August 2026.
With the popularity of liminal photography and films like 2026's Backrooms , weirdcore is having a moment. It's not quite horrorcore, but it's not clean and cheerful enough to fit into the pop categories, either. Some artists ditch the pop influences and veer off in another direction, creating music that sounds like the soundtrack to a child's nightmare. Whatever the case, this playlist contains weirdcore tracks from all ends of the spectrum--and if you're ready to get weird, sit back and let these songs plunge you into a feverish haze.
