“Bring Me The Horizon has sparked controversy among fans with their recent use of AI-generated visuals in live performances and merchandise. The band showcased AI-powered effects during a live rendition of “AmEN” in São Paulo, Brazil, where frontman Oli Sykes appeared to transform into a demon on-screen. This move has divided their fanbase, with some praising the innovation while others express disappointment and anger. Critics argue that using AI undermines the work of human artists who have previously created visuals for the band. The controversy escalated when fans discovered AI-generated designs on merchandise, including t-shirts priced at $160. Many view this as a betrayal of human creativity and a step too far in the band’s history of pushing boundaries. The backlash reflects a broader debate in the music industry about the role of AI in art and its potential to replace human artists. Despite the criticism, Bring Me The Horizon continues to defend their use of AI as part of their innovative approach to music and performance.” (Perplexity)

“The year 2024 has seen its fair share of disappointing releases in the rock and metal genres, with albums like Falling In Reverse‘s Popular Monster and HARDY’s Quit!! topping the lists of worst albums. Popular Monster, despite its initial hype, has been criticized for its lack of cohesion and overblown production, with many reviewers labeling it as an embarrassment that fails to deliver on its ambitious blend of metal, hip-hop, and pop elements. Critics have pointed out that frontman Ronnie Radke’s vocal performance has become increasingly grating, overshadowing the album’s potential with cringe-worthy lyrics and a forced emotional narrative. Similarly, HARDY’s Quit!! has been dismissed as a hollow attempt at merging country and rock influences, lacking the authenticity and grit that fans expect from the genre. With both albums receiving scathing reviews for their creative shortcomings and uninspired songwriting, they serve as cautionary tales for listeners navigating the 2024 music landscape.” (Perplexity) 

Winona Fighter Releases “HAMMS IN A GLASS” Music Video

Rising punk rock act Winona Fighter is excited to share the brand new music video for their hit single “HAMMS IN A GLASS”, taken from their forthcoming debut album MY APOLOGIES TO THE CHEF. Fans can watch the video now, here: 

The ‘HAMMS IN A GLASS’ music video is as chaotic as the song,” shares frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist Coco Kinnon. It is completely one take and was totally a “fly by the seat of our pants” type shoot. Jake Johnston over at We’re All Gonna Die did such an amazing job at directing on the fly as we were pretty much trying something different with each take.

She continues: “Something extremely special about this music video is that it feels like a call back to our first and only music video we made before singing to Rise ‘You Look Like A Drunk Phoebe Bridgers’- a one take video, which was done with pretty much pocket change. It was so cool being able to elevate the concept while still keeping it flexible and fun.

MY APOLOGIES TO THE CHEF, featuring recent singles “ATTENTION”, “Swear To God That I’m (FINE)”, “I’M IN THE MARKET TO PLEASE NO ONE”, and more, is set to be released on February 14th via Rise Records. Pre-orders for the new album are available now at https://WinonaFighter.lnk.to/MyApologiesToTheChef.

Along with the album release, the band will also be hitting the road on their headlining Yes, Chef Tour from February 14th – March 7th. Tickets are on-sale now and available at https://winonafighter.com/.

About Winona Fighter 

Fronted by the electric Coco Kinnon, the Nashville based punk band is breathing new life into the resurgent punk scene, and they’re on a mission to create punk music that is accessible and accepting to all music lovers willing to listen.

Kinnon’s introduction to the Boston punk rock scene at an early age was the catalyst influence for her current sound and stage presence. Moving to Nashville gave her a task to expose all music lovers to the power of thrashable tunes. After recruiting lead guitarist Dan Fuson, they set off to do the scene Coco had left behind justice. Eventually the two of them added Austin Luther (bass/producer) to the family.

The band is recognized as an energized powerhouse during their live performances. Their shows are a space where all bullshit and ego is left at the door – everyone is welcome, equal and needs to get on their fucking feet. In recent times, they have opened for the bands Incubus, Motion City SoundtrackBadflower, and Something Corporate, in addition to playing multiple sets at Bonnaroo 2023. Other recent performances include Is For Lover’s Festivals and Shiprocked 2024.

Earlier this year Winona Fighter took SXSW by storm, followed by a full US tour with Bayside, Finch, and Armor For Sleep. The band also performed at this year’s Shaky Knees Music Festival, Summerfest, 80/35 Music Festival, and most recently took to the stage at Riot Fest, Oceans Calling Music FestivalLouder Than Life, and Aftershock.

Following their signing to Rise Records the band released new singles “I’m In The Market To Please No One” and “Swear To God That I’m (FINE)”, in addition to new versions of fan favorites “Subaru” and “Wlbrn St Tvrn”. Fans can look forward to more new music in the coming months, including Winona Fighter’s debut full-length record My Apologies To The Chef.

The performance sparked mixed reactions, with some viewers expressing outrage over the band’s heavy style, while many hardcore fans celebrated the visibility it brought to the metal and hardcore scenes. Knocked Loose’s energetic set not only included “Suffocate” but also featured four additional tracks that captivated the live audience outside the studio.

The band  has also shared the video for first single “Forever Aligned.” Watch it here

“‘Forever Aligned’ is one of those songs that is not just about us as humans, our love, and connection, but that connection to the unknown, the greater power, the universe, or God,” explains Leach. “It feels like a really good first song to release not just sonically, but lyrically, as it is all about connection. The device of world we live in could use a lot more connectivity.”

Regarding the album, Leach continues, “This Consequence, to me, is the combination of everything the past five years has thrown at us as a band, as humans, and society as a whole. This album is just as much about everybody and their stories as it is for me about my journey personally. Sonically, I love the combination of everybody’s ideas and contributions on this album. It feels more like a collaboration than the past few records have been. When all is said and done, I wouldn’t change anything about this album.”

He finishes, “I think it’s the exact record we needed to make. I’m honored and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message.”
