SiM — “FiVE TiMES DEAD (by my wallet)”
Japanese metal-fusion titans SiM, have just launched their new single, “FiVE TiMES DEAD (by my wallet),” and it’s going to melt your face clean off. The group, beloved for their blend of metal and reggae/ska, is at their most exciting and dynamic on this offering. They say, “SiM’s heaviest, most chaotic reggae punk track yet. World tour soon!” Stay tuned for those forthcoming dates because you won’t want to miss them. — Maria Serra
In Color — “Jet Lag Mouth”
Nashville’s In Color released “Jet Lag Mouth,” and it’s a synth-laden pop dream you have to hear right now. The band explains, “The song is basically about someone who acts like they’ve got it all together, but deep down, they’re falling apart. It’s for the avoidants who run away from any feelings of intimacy and the damage they’ve caused in a relationship. There’s another person who can see right through the act, but every time they try to get closer, they’re pushed away. In the end, nothing ever really gets sorted out.” Check out all their forthcoming headlining tour dates here. — Maria Serra
Cherry Bomb — “Digital Girl”
Cherry Bomb is pushing back against the noise of the algorithm with “Digital Girl,” a glossy, confessional pop track that leans into the chaos of being online. Led by Mandy Lee, the song captures the constant pull between falling into comparison spirals and wanting to break free from them altogether. Paired with a hyper-saturated visual directed by Matty Vogel, “Digital Girl” turns overstimulation into something tangible—flashing, overwhelming, and impossible to ignore—while framing Cherry Bomb as both a reaction to and escape from the digital world. —Paige Owens
