Sweet Pill
Still There's a Glow
Sweet Pill’s sophomore album, Still There’s a Glow, is a resilient response to the mounting pressures following their breakout debut, Where The Heart Is. Facing exhaustion, the band scrapped early demos to prioritize mental health, ultimately crafting a raw document of self-reflection that vocalist Zayna Youssef calls “the hardest thing I’ve had to do.”Marking a significant evolution in their creative dynamic, the new album is the first written fully as a collaborative unit by Youssef, guitarists Jayce Williams and Sean McCall, bassist Ryan Cullen, & drummer Chris Kearney. Recorded at Gradwell House with longtime producers Matt Weber & Dave Downham, the record aims to bottle the kinetic energy of their live shows—performances that have earned them endorsements from stars like Hayley Williams and Doja Cat. The resulting sound is an elevated mix of math-rock intricacy, urgent punk, and heartfelt emo.In support of the album, Sweet Pill will embark on a global tour, headlining clubs and performing at festivals. As a woman of color in the alternative scene, Youssef hopes the album and tour will foster a judgment-free community for fans. Still, There’s a Glow stands as proof of the band’s survival and growth, inviting listeners to find their own light at the end of the tunnel.

Young And Heartless
The Pull Of Gravity
LP reissue of Young And Heartless' The Pull Of Gravity. Fans of Brand New, Turnover and Citizen need to check this out! Something many will pick up on is how close the vocals sound to those of everybody’s favorite vocalist Jesse Lacey. And it’s true; while not a perfect match, there’s an undeniable similarity between the two, which is, of course, a very good thing. And it fits, too, since it’s not a stretch to imagine Brand New performing songs like the downbeat “Virgin” or the dynamic “Lord-Well.” Opener “Haunted” details a ruined childhood, the narrator “ride[s] my bike down to Duncan’s to get my dad some cigarettes/he says he needs them like his coffee/and his hopelessness/but I don’t believe him anymore.” Later on he hears his father yelling at his sister and “her packing her bags/I want to go with her but/I’m only fourteen years old.” The song ends on that line, providing us with no sense of closure or resolution at all. “Lord-Well” continues this trend, referencing riding his bike, this time to Allison’s, and then going “to school/ignored my friends/I held my hand for everything/it made me feel less stupid.” So while from a lyrical standpoint, The Pull of Gravity isn’t a positive record, it’s still a great record. And while it may not be happy, it’ll certainly make you happy.
