Released back in September 2016, The Sun’s Tirade was Isaiah Rashad’s debut studio album with Top Dawg Entertainment. Following 2014’s Cilvia Tape Demo mixtape, Rashad came back into the limelight 2 years later with an album full of soulful production detailing his bouts with depression, self-doubt, and family.

“TONIGHT WE START A BRAIN MELTING PSYCHOTIC CHAPTER LET’S GOOOO” tweeted The Weeknd one late November evening in 2019. The eerie out of the blue announcement followed by the blurred, monochromatic picture of the artist would signify the start of his next album run.

In 2011 Abel Tesfaye was a mere blip on the radar. Having dropped out of high school a few years prior, he was living in Parkdale with a few friends, dabbling in excessive drug use and partying, but behind all this, a true star was being made. On March 21st, Abel would become The Weeknd when he released his first official project titled House of Balloons. A mixtape that would start his journey from a lowly misfit out of Scarborough to one of music’s biggest artists. Moreover, his dark, atmospheric, and moody take on R&B would shift the genre in…

If there’s one band who refuses to be boxed into one style or sound that would surely be Bring Me The Horizon. Since their inception in the early 2000’s, they shifted from earsplitting death-core on their debut Count Your Blessings, to melodic metal-core starting with 2010’s There Is A Hell… to full-blown pop-rock meets electronica on last year’s Amo, my favourite album of 2019. The change in sound has certainly divided their fanbase, but the quintet is more than confident with their choice to constantly subvert expectations, and the results have been quite stellar. …

After some speculation this week, Tyler, The Creator has announced that his upcoming album CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST is set to drop next Friday, June 25th. The announcement comes just after fans found billboards with the album title and a phone number they can call to hear snippets of new music.

This past week, images of a billboard reading “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST” with a phone number at the bottom have been circulating the internet. Those who were able to call the number were greeted with an audio message from Tyler, The Creator and his mother, expressing how much she loves her son. Most recently, a website with the same name has also surfaced, visitors are greeted with the same image and phone number as the billboard.

Speculation that Tyler, The Creator is seemingly ready to drop new music has been confirmed by Youtubers who uploaded the audio message…

IDLES is a British punk band from Bristol, formed in 2009 by lead singer Joe Talbot, the band has single handily redefined the punk/post-punk genre with their music. They are the prime example of the old saying “don’t judge a book by its cover”. At first glance, they came off as a rowdy quintet that wanted to make the most aggressive sounds fuelled by anger and rage. …
