Adding to the excitement of the kickoff to Something Corporate’s long-awaited reunion tour tonight in Brooklyn, frontman and veteran indie-pop singer-songwriter-pianist Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness and his beloved early 2000s pop-punk band Something Corporate have released their new single “Death Grip.” The track is available now via Big Loud Rock, representing the first in a new partnership between McMahon and the label, with more to come. PRESS HERE to listen to “Death Grip” and PRESS HERE to watch the official music video, directed by Jax Anderson, which first premiered with PEOPLE. The process of writing and creating “Death Grip” was different for McMahon, who took a casual trip to Nashville in April to flex his dormant writing muscle with friends Luke Nicolli and Ivory Layne. On his last day in town, the trio was able to articulate the moment McMahon had been living in: one of peace and letting go and accepting that the craft that had defined his life doesn’t need to be at the center of every moment of his life. He immediately decided the song needed to be released into the world as soon as possible and with the Something Corporate shows on the horizon, McMahon called upon his original band mates to see if his old friends would be into collaborating again on something new for the first time in over 20 years. “Death Grip” also marks the first taste of new music from McMahon since the release of his fourth studio album, Tilt At The Wind No More, in 2023 under his longstanding Wilderness moniker.

“I honestly didn’t expect to be releasing new music this year,” shares McMahon. “I’ve lived on the write, record, release, tour hamster wheel for a long time and decided after the last album I would do things differently. Giving myself permission to enjoy home, enjoy the reunion shows, and work on other projects has been really good for me. I have historically put so much pressure on myself to keep producing, to keep fighting for my relevance, and I often forget that some of the biggest moments in my career and my life in general have manifested in times when I’ve chosen to take my hands off the wheel a bit and trust that things will be okay. That’s what ‘Death Grip’ is about. Finding a rhythm in life that allows everything to exist at once without forcing things into being.”

“I was nervous to bring up the idea of collaborating with the Something Corporate guys again on this song, but they were so supportive and excited by the idea of taking what we did together so many years ago and layering it onto this Wilderness process I’ve worked within for the last 10 years,” McMahon adds. “Being back in the studio together, it was like no time had passed and the recording came as easy as the creation of the song had been. There was a lot of laughing, a lot of stories told and memories revisited. From the time this song was written to the time it will be available in people’s speakers, less than three months will have passed. There are plenty of arguments to be made for not rushing work out, but I think fast-tracking this song back into the world is the truest way to honor what inspired its creation in the first place. It’s a song about letting go and having faith that everything will work out, so we’re letting it go. We’ll see what happens next. I also have to shout out the Big Loud Rock team, who I’ve been so impressed with. When I told them I was excited to release music on this insane timeline, they didn’t even blink. When I said I have no idea what comes next but I’m inspired, they said they were excited to take this journey with me.”

“It’s a privilege for Big Loud Rock to release the first Something Corporate music in 20 years and be in business with Andrew McMahon,” adds Greg Thompson, President of Big Loud Rock. “We are honored to be a partner in his amazing musical journey and are excited to help tell their story.”

Something Corporate’s Out Of Office Tour officially begins tonight (June 20th) at Brooklyn Steel with its first weekend on the road featuring shows in New York City (June 21st at The Rooftop at Pier 17), Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. The 21-date, sold-out reunion tour from the Orange County, California quintet continues throughout the summer and fall stopping in Portland, Seattle, Washington, DCBoston, Nashville, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Denver, among other cities, before wrapping back home with two California showsOctober 11th at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and October 12th at The Warfield in San Francisco. Something Corporate will also be performing at select festivals including Chicago’s Riot Fest and Austin City Limits (weekend 1 only). The Out Of Office Tour marks the first official cross-country outing featuring the five original members of Something Corporate in over 20 years. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates.

To combat scalping and ensure as many real fans as possible are able to attend the Out Of Office Tour and get affordable tickets, Something Corporate implemented various anti-scalping efforts, with McMahon leading the process alongside his management team at C3 and booking agency WME, who all worked extensively with each show’s promoter.

Something Corporate – Andrew McMahon (vocals, piano), Josh Partington (guitar), Kevin “Clutch” Page (bass), Brian Ireland (drums), and William Tell (guitar) – first reunited in 2023 for main stage performances at the When We Were Young festival and three sold-out headlining shows in Las Vegas and Anaheim.

Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare Live Download Festival 2024
Ghost – RITE HERE RIGHT NOW (Sneak Preview)

“David Draiman, the iconic lead singer of the heavy metal band Disturbed, recently embarked on a meaningful journey to Israel, where he visited the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).  As a proud Jewish-American, Draiman has always been vocal about his heritage and unwavering support for Israel.  During his trip, he had the opportunity to interact with IDF soldiers, expressing his gratitude for their service and dedication to protecting the nation.  This visit not only strengthened Draiman’s connection to his roots but also served as a powerful symbol of solidarity between the artist and the Israeli military forces. His presence undoubtedly boosted the morale of the troops, reminding them of the global support they receive, especially from influential figures like Draiman who use their platform to advocate for Israel’s security and well-being.” (Perplexity)

Should WARPED TOUR Return? | 10 Warped Tour Band Allegations

“The Vans Warped Tour was once a celebrated traveling music festival that launched the careers of numerous punk and alternative bands. However, its legacy has been marred by a pervasive culture of sexual misconduct and misogyny. Over its 24-year run, the festival faced numerous allegations of harassment and assault, with founder Kevin Lyman dismissing such incidents as “part of the culture. 

“Despite claims of addressing these issues, Warped Tour continued to provide a platform for artists accused of misconduct, including Jake McElfresh (Front Porch Step) and Ronnie Radke, who faced allegations of inappropriate interactions with underage fans. The male-dominated lineups and “bro culture” fostered an environment where female artists and attendees often felt unsafe or objectified. 

“As the #MeToo movement gained momentum, Warped Tour’s failure to adequately address systemic issues of exploitation within its ranks became increasingly untenable. The festival’s demise in 2018 coincided with a reckoning for the broader alternative music scene, which has seen numerous high-profile cases of artists abusing their power and preying on vulnerable young fans. 

“While Warped Tour provided a sense of community for many, its legacy is overshadowed by the trauma experienced by countless individuals who fell victim to the predatory behavior it enabled and normalized. As the music industry continues to grapple with its deep-rooted problems of misconduct and gender-based discrimination, the cautionary tale of Warped Tour serves as a reminder of the need for accountability and systemic change.” (Perplexity) 

Premiere: Brave New World release music video for single “Craterhoof”

We are thrilled to premiere Florida-based rockers Brave New World’s new music video for upcoming single “Craterhoof”, due out June 14th, 2024.

Brave New World is a group that’s been around the better part of a decade, with an impressive discography to show after all this time. With an album and three EPs under their belt, the band, which hearkens back to post-hardcore greats like Underoath and manages to capture the intrigue of modern mainstays such as Holding Abscence, crafts a familiar, engaging sound that has dazzled the Florida scene for years.

In “Craterhoof”, Brave New World embrace an audible presentation akin to Moodring and Loathe, dripping in reverb and full of hooks with a driven influence at its core. Echoing vocals and climactic guitars into the chorus, the soundscape is one to get immersed in. Distressed, impassioned shouts are an auditory assault that close out “Craterhoof” in eclectic fashion.

The “Craterhoof” video shows Brave New World performing the song with an ethereal orange backdrop. Great usage of shadows of each member further push the dreamy vibes the instrumentals create. Once the song really picks up, watching the vocalist deliver his crushing lyrics on the floor makes for a memorable moment to close out the track in convincing fashion.

Amassing more than a million streams to date on Spotify, Brave New World have garnered a steadfast, dedicated fanbase. Local fans will be delighted to see the group kick off this single with a headliner show at The Handlebar in Pensacola, with support from Blind Tiger, Kairo, and Slow Degrade, on June 21st. Followed up by sharing the stage with Evergreen Terrace in Panama City on June 22nd, the band is sure to earmark their place in the scene with a steady show schedule.

The Art Of Letting Go

“Ronnie Radke, the frontman of the band Falling in Reverse, has been embroiled in controversy over the past year due to his outspoken views and behavior. He faced backlash for making transphobic comments on social media, mocking transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and expressing offensive views about gender identity. Radke was also banned from TikTok for his anti-trans tirades, leading him to claim that “freedom of speech is dead” in America. Additionally, he has a long history of misogyny, having pleaded no contest to domestic violence charges in 2012 and serving time for his role in a murder. Despite the controversies, Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows defended the decision to have Falling in Reverse as a supporting act on their upcoming tour, stating that Radke should be able to “speak his mind.” (Perplexity)

Riot Fest 2024 Lineup ft. Slayer, Beck, Fall Out Boy, more

Riot Fest Announces Lineup, New Venue at SeatGeek Stadium,
and the Launch of RiotLand: A “Choose Your Own Adventure” Experience

Line-up including Fall Out Boy, Beck, Slayer, Pavement, St. Vincent,
Rob Zombie, Bright Eyes, Sublime, The Offspring, Dr. Dog and more

Riot Fest, the iconic annual punk rock and alternative music festival, is excited to announce its 2024 lineup, along with the introduction of an innovative new world, and a venue change, now with parking! This year’s festival will take place at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois, from September 20-22nd, featuring 90+ bands over 3-days, and will feature RiotLand, an immersive “Choose Your Own Adventure” world that promises to elevate the festival experience to new heights.

Introducing RiotLand: A “Choose Your Own Adventure” Experience.
RiotLand is set to transform Riot Fest into an interactive, choose your own adventure where attendees can explore and engage with various themed areas and activities. While the activation experiences will change from day to night, RiotLand is a place where you can escape from the real world and be yourself. A fully interactive site will be unveiled in the coming weeks, but here is a sneak peek of what’s to come:

Q101 Radio Tower: A nostalgic tribute to an iconic radio station, featuring live broadcasts and unique photo opportunities. At night, there’s a new fiesta in the making as we speak. It’s out at the Moontower, full kegs, everybody’s going to be there, you ought to go.

NOFX World: A stage and area dedicated to celebrating the music and legacy of NOFX, joined by their friends and fans alike, led by the ringmaster, named Fat Mike, to take you into the night.

Cabaret Metro Stage: A nod to the legendary Chicago venue, Metro, where many Riot Fest alum cut their teeth long before headlining the festival.

AAA Stage: If you know, you know, and that means you were probably lucky enough to be there. AAA was a warehouse venue where Riot Fest hosted many secret shows in the earlier days of the festival. You probably weren’t there the first time, but you won’t want to miss it again.

House of Law: Courthouse by day, OZ nightclub at night. RiotLand’s only gay punk and dance club that only opens at night.

Kevin Smith Tribute Zones:
Quick Stop: An immersive re-creation of the famous convenience store from “Clerks.”
Cretin Prairie Center: An area inspired by the film “Mallrats,” featuring themed activities and surprises. Who knows, you may end up on Truth or Mate on Riot Fest’s #2 channel, RFTV.

Casino: Yes, a casino, and it’s real. Are you feeling lucky? Not gambling advice, but I’m guessing if you poll the Riot Fest attendees…most would tell you to just put it all on black.

World’s Largest Festival Bar: Fly in Mr. Guinness as Riot Fest attempts to unofficially break the world record

Butter Stamos: Is he made out of rubber or is he made out of stone? Did you know there is at least one Butter Stamos tattoo out there?

Nihilist Arby’s: We thought about not even including this one because it doesn’t even matter. Nothing matters. Eat Arby’s.

Riot Fest will also feature fan-favorites from years past including the Wedding Chapel (You can get legally married at RiotLand), the Riot Pop!! Skate Ramp, free arcade games from Logan Arcade, Professor Pizza, the world’s largest touring rock-n-roll circus freak show Hellzapoppin Circus, mini golf, and all of your favorite bands playing at the same time.

Korn ft. Ice Cube
Machine Gun Kelly ft. Willow “Emo Girl
NOFX ft. Avenged Sevenfold “Linewlium”
Ozzy Osbourne ft. Jessica Simpson “Winter Wonderland”
Six Feet Under ft. Ice T “One Bullet Left”

“Bad rock and metal collaborations often fail to capture the essence of either genre, resulting in disjointed and uninspired tracks. A prime example is “Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne and Marilyn Manson, which awkwardly blends Lavigne’s pop-punk sensibilities with Manson’s industrial metal stylings, creating a muddled and forgettable song. Similarly, “Emo Girl” by Machine Gun Kelly and Willow suffers from a lack of cohesion, as Kelly’s rap-rock delivery clashes with Willow’s alternative rock vocals, leaving the track feeling disjointed and lacking in direction.” (Perplexity)
