JULY 24TH, 2026 –– Just in: all of your favorite new music releases and fresh faves in one place.
We have a fantastic list of fresh faves that dropped this week, from Mayday Parade's new album 'Sugar,' always bringing that classic Mayday vibe we know and love, a new drop from scene faves 3OH!3, all the way to Games We Play with 'Right Place, Wrong Timing' reeling us in with an acoustic track; GWP has been giving us an interesting switch from the classic pop-punk to this chilled out vibe and we are here for it all!
Alternative pop/rock band 'Savings' gives us their new single 'Stressed Out' after a 2-year hiatus; this stamps a new era for the band. They took time to realize what made them fall in love with music from the very beginning, and not to mention the music video is completely DIY, which to us earns 8 stars. Cartel is coming in hot with a double release, 'Deadbeat Drag' and 'Shirts & Skins'. We gave you all the deets on these drops right here, and with the announcement of their 5th studio album 'Learning To Cope ', coming out this September, all we can say is having these important conversations is necessary if it's uncomfortable to talk about; talk about it anyway!
Major League released 'Heavenly Hell '; their first drop in 12 years. They are back and better than ever as they leave the past behind and make room for new memories.
From First To Last dropped 'Your Name In Red Ink,' and we won't forget it because this one seals in their comeback era with their new vocalist, emo rapper Lil Lotus. It gives all the post-hardcore energy we need to get through the week.
Now onto our HEAVY HITTERS:
Kicking it off with Chiodos 'TAPDAT ' is giving heavy drums with a mix of heavy and clean vocals, bringing this track together amazingly. The tune is perfect for your heavy summer vibe needs.
Next up is hardcore band Pain Of Truth's 'Unforgiven ', the song immediately blessed us with pure headbanging material. Showing Teeth hit the world with 'Bad Exchanges'; and it's definitely a great exchange of a wholesome heavy metal track if you catch our drift.
We couldn't leave without mentioning the new Imminence release, showing us violin core is alive and well in 'Crestfallen '. We love and appreciate Imminence in this house, and we can't wait to see what their new album 'Axis Mundi' has in store.
You know the drill: grab your drink of choice and catch the vibes. See you next week!
