News you may have missed! (8/14/20)

A pop punk comeback on the way? A new podcast episode you need to hear!

Hey, everyone! Another Friday. Another mailer. This week didn’t see a whole lot of music related news, but we released a new podcast episode, so there’s that!

Let’s get to it!

Podcast News

We’re running a little behind recording Episode #005, but plan on it soon. Until then, here’s Episode #004 in case you missed it this week!

Tyler, Ally and Natalie discuss Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker's new pop punk tune and how it could be a huge push for the scene, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong thinking fans would f***ing hate "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", the Chainsmokers being stupid and holding an in-person concert, Live Nation being hit hard by the pandemic and the head-scratching comments made by Spotify's CEO about artists. We also sit down with Big Picture Media's Becky and Natalie to talk about what they do to help some of the biggest names in the scene succeed and how we can help our favorite bands during this time.
