A storm is brewing on the horizon of the alternative-pop scene, and his name is JON BABIN. The singer-songwriter, producer, and sonic architect steps boldly into the spotlight with four explosive debut singles -- "You're So Rude," "I Shouldn't Be Alone Tonight," "Angel Hair," and "Belladonna" — each one a world unto itself, yet unmistakably stitched together by Babin’s unmistakable style and raw vulnerability. BAND BIO: Welcome to the self-titled album, "Jon Babin." These are four singles to be included on a full length record to be released this year! JON BABIN was born in Chicago - and has lived and worked in its surrounding North side, South side, and West side neighborhoods and suburbs his whole life. Violin was his first instrument. From there, he took seriously to drums/percussion - and got his feet wet with playing live in punk and metal bands as a teenger. During this time, he would move on to guitar and began putting songs and melodies together. He has bounced genres and instruments throughout bands and solo work, and has honed in on his own style. His influences are psychedelia, golden age boppers and rockers, punk, new wave, alternative, jazz, blues, dance and pop. Every recorded instrument you hear on this record was written and performed by JON BABIN. It was recorded, mixed and engineered at Audiotree by Rick Fritz. He plays over 100 shows per year. There is a little something for everybody on the "Jon Babin" record. This album is pure of heart. Join him on the journey! ROCK N' ROLL!

The twisted, theatrical metal maestros RAVEN BLACK return with their most sinister sonic offering yet: “This Little Piggy”, a blood-curdling single that drags listeners screaming through a chaotic swirl of power, vengeance, and grotesque reckoning. Out now on all streaming platforms, “This Little Piggy” marks a vicious new chapter in the band’s macabre mythology. From the first guttural growl to the final haunting laugh, “This Little Piggy” is a razor-sharp anthem for the outcasts, the misfits, and the tormented. With blistering guitar riffs, hammering drums, and Raven’s signature blend of horror-inspired vocals—switching from haunting whispers to primal screams—the track conjures a sinister fairy tale gone completely off the rails. This release marks a new chapter for RAVEN BLACK—a darker, more intense evolution of their already infamous sound. Produced by Ulrich Wild (Static-X, White Zombie, Deftones), the single showcases the band’s signature fusion of metal mayhem and circus macabre, with a cinematic flair that could summon the dead to dance.  Prepare to get obliterated in the best way possible--PUSHING VERONICA is back with a vengeance, dropping their blistering new single "WASTED", a riotous, no-holds-barred anthem drenched in fury, hooks, and unapologetic chaos. The track is now available on all major streaming platforms. "WASTED," by PUSHING VERONICA is a raw and raging punk anthem for anyone who's ever been ghosted after an interview, told they’re “not the right fit,” or handed a rejection email five minutes after applying. With razor-sharp guitars and lyrics that spit in the face of corporate nonsense, this song sets the tone for defiance, desperation, and dark humor.  Alternative metal juggernaut ALYXX erupts onto the global stage with the release of their highly anticipated debut EP, EMBERWAKE — available now on all streaming platforms. Forged in the crucible of loss, rage, and transformation, EMBERWAKE is an audio inferno that delivers a visceral blend of crushing riffs, cinematic soundscapes, and hauntingly melodic vocals. Each song is a chapter in a greater narrative — a journey through ruin, resistance, and rebirth — all wrapped in a sonic experience that blurs the lines between metal, industrial, and dark alternative rock.

Born from the pages of Unleashed—Amber Swenor’s book on radical authenticity—this track was written as a rally cry for those on the path of self-liberation. With cinematic intensity, soaring vocals and unflinching emotion, "FREE" is the freedom anthem for those on the journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance. LISTEN ON SPOTIFY  "STANDOFF" to me is about betrayal, defiance, and reclaiming power. Reflecting on a chaotic relationship where trust was shattered and where manipulation ran deep. It’s about once being vulnerable and unsure and then eventually rising up, standing firm and refusing to be controlled or broken any longer. The repeated confrontational refrain — “come and get a piece of me” — is a bold challenge to the betrayer, turning pain into strength. The song builds from confusion and heartbreak into full-blown resistance, ending in a decisive emotional and personal standoff. - Corey James LISTEN ON SPOTIFY  Rising from the wreckage of raw emotion and creative defiance, THE ESTES METHOD returns with a haunting new single that dares to dig deeper than ever before. “I’ve Become” arrives today June 9 — and it’s not just a song, it’s a mirror held up to the self. Following the incendiary success of their breakout single “Reclaim”, The Estes Method pushes their sonic boundaries once more, crafting a track that is as devastating as it is beautiful. “I’ve Become” confronts the internal war between self-destruction and the will to survive. The song explores the physical toll of recklessness and emotional torment—where pain is both a consequence and a catalyst. The song follows the protagonist beginning to break free, and drawing strength from the very blood and suffering that once consumed them. It’s a declaration of resilience: pain won’t win and a stronger self emerges. “I’ve Become” is about transformation through darkness—embracing the scars and feeding the fire, one drop at a time. LISTEN ON SPOTIFY LISTEN ON APPLE MUSIC  "SYNTHETIC ENSLAVEMENT" is a powerful exploration of addiction, capturing the intense emotional and psychological battles we’ve experienced firsthand or witnessed in those close to us. It confronts the suffocating feeling of being trapped within one's own destructive patterns, emphasizing the critical role of personal accountability in breaking free. Originally crafted by a former bandmate during a difficult period marked by their own inner demons, the song stands as an authentic, heartfelt testament to their ongoing fight at the time of their departure. Through raw honesty, OF THE FALLEN channels this deeply personal struggle into a message of solidarity and hope for all facing similar trials. LISTEN ON SPOTIFY  |
