There’s nothing clean-cut or carefully polished about Christian Punk Rock for the Lost, and that’s exactly why it works. Brisbane artist Bangers12 crashes into the pop-punk scene with an album that sounds like a survival journal screamed through distorted amplifiers. Built from lived experiences with addiction, mental health struggles, isolation,…

After a three-year silence shaped by grief and personal loss, Greg Germain returns with “Cloud Highways,” a dreamy electronic single that glows like neon reflected on rain-slick streets.
