The Maggie Pills - Return With Haunting Single 'Velobell'
Naarm/Melbourne-based punk rock band The Maggie Pills have just returned with their atmospheric single ' Velobell ' – produced/co-mixed by the band's own Mario Perez, recorded and mixed by Brad Jackson, and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Emerson Mancini (Kendrick Lamar, Paramore, Linkin Park). 'Velobell' unfolds with a discordant chord progression and lead singer Delfi Sorondo 's breathy timbre, creating a soundscape that is raw and arresting. Grungy guitars, galloping basslines and driving drums underscore the resounding chorus as the track builds with explosive energy tinged with unease. Complete with an emphatic guitar solo, 'Velobell' is a blistering fusion of grunge distortion and punk urgency. The Maggie Pills talk about the inspiration behind 'Velobell': "At its heart, the song is a message of resilience. It's about the moments when we lose sight of ourselves, when life feels heavy and out of sync - yet something within us refuses to let go. Whether you're wrestling grief, burnout, addiction, or just the quiet emptiness of everyday life, 'Velobell' is a howl from the void that says: 'You're still in there, and you're not alone'." Accompanying the release is a gripping music video, directed by Mario Perez, filmed by Ryan Cara and edited by Sam Mapplebeck (Amyl and the Sniffers, Tropical Fuck Storm). Set in a makeshift forest shrouded in darkness, the clip complements the gritty audio production, evoking a dreamlike descent into chaos. Unflinching close-ups and jarring overexposure dissolve the distance between the band and the audience."The video doesn't just accompany the music - it embodies it," explains Delfi. "Every frame is drenched in a sense of suffocation, desperation, and emotional intensity, inviting the viewer into a world where escape feels impossible." To support 'Velobell' the band will play a launch show at John Curtin Hotel in Narrm/Melbourne on Friday, June 13. In the live arena, the group has shared the stage with Black Lips (USA), Shihad, Cable Ties, The Meanies, Battlesnake, The Mark Of Cain and Private Function and have sold out multiple headline shows, including their ' GOLD ' single launch. Led by Argentinian frontwoman Delfi Sorondo and Venezuelan drummer Mario Perez, the group formed in 2019 shortly after both members immigrated to Australia. Their music has been supported by triple j, triple j Unearthed, Double J and Australian Community Radio stations such as 3RRR, PBS, 2SER, 4ZZZ and many more. In the blogsphere, they have seen support from Rolling Stone (AUS), Pilerats, Backseat Mafia (UK / AUS), Blunt Magazine, The Music, Wall of Sound, Tone Deaf and HEAVY Magazine to name a few.

KATSEYE's Megan Skiendiel Knows How to Maintain a Hime Cut
Bea Oyster Between KATSEYE member Megan Skiendiel's signature hime cut and Billie Eilish's jellyfish cut, asymmetrical hairstyles are having a moment. And, when Megan swapped her iconic orange hue for a duochrome look that accentuated her short layers, she took the trend to the next level. On April 3, Italian luxury label Fendi revealed its new campaign with KATSEYE, which showcases the brand's signature Baguette and Peekaboo bags. To make the colorful bags pop, the members each wore a simple black tank top, but the matching moment didn't end there. Sophia, Manon, Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae all debuted long dark hair with bangs, which was especially exciting as fans were already speculating that the members were hiding new hairstyles for their next comeback. Megan, however, put a twist on the look, and it might just inspire us to head to the salon. She kept her signature hime cut intact, opting to blend it into her bangs for a three-tiered look. Plus, she dyed just the bangs and the short layers a light rose gold hue, giving the look a pop of color and an edgy twist. The money piece trend, where you dye part of your face-framing hair, isn't exactly new — it became big in the early 2020s with stars like Dua Lipa giving it their cosign. However, this dyed bangs money piece iteration takes it to another level. We've seen stars like Paramore's Hayley Williams and Lily Allen try it in the past, and it might just be the twist that reinvigorates the trend and inspires the buzzy look of 2025. (After all, the 2010s are coming back!) Just like the group's hit song 'Gnarly,' you might not quite get these uneven styles at first glance. But step mullets, tiered layers, jellyfish cuts, and the hime cut have been steadily gaining popularity over the past few years. And with these celebs not only wearing them but doubling down on them, it seems like they're not going anywhere anytime soon. So, if you're feeling tempted to give the hime cut a try, we've got you covered. Here's everything you need to know about the hime cut. A hime cut is a long hairstyle that features short face-framing layers and oftentimes bangs. Unlike a jellyfish cut, which has short layers that go all around the head, the hime cut only has short layers in the front. The hime cut's popularity comes from Japan. With idols, influencers, and even anime characters wearing the look, it has spread worldwide, gaining momentum around the world. In KATSEYE's Teen Vogue cover interview, Megan recapped the process behind keeping her hime cut intact. 'I always have to get my hair — my bangs and the hime — cut, always making sure that it's blunt. I always have to cut it to make sure it's even.' Now that she has added color to it, ensuring it's healthy requires a few additional steps. 'I try not to wash it every single day so it doesn't get super, super dry,' she says. 'And I use a lot of oil and hair masks. And then especially with this new pink, since it's not super pigmented, I always have to dye it every single time I shower. Every time I shower, I need to dye it for an hour and then shower. So it's a lot, but it's fun. It's really cool.' There are multiple ways to style a hime cut. You can opt for super sleek chic and go for totally straight hair. Or, add a little bump to the end for a dynamic take like Megan's. Opt for some waves or curls to add some extra flair to the look. If you want your hime cut to pop, consider adding some color to the money pieces like Megan's as well. Read more about Megan and KATSEYE's personal style in their cover story .

All-American Rejects singer answers burning questions about those viral pop-up shows
All-American Rejects singer answers burning questions about those viral pop-up shows Show Caption Hide Caption Watch as All-American Rejects perform surprise show Less than 30 hours after the show was announced, hundreds attended the All-American Rejects' surprise show in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was after a 2022 performance in Las Vegas that the All-American Rejects realized it might be time for a comeback. Frontman and bassist Tyson Ritter acknowledges the band responsible for guitar-chiming emo-pop earworms 'Swing Swing,' 'Move Along,' 'Gives You Hell' didn't really take their gig at the When We Were Young festival too seriously. Ritter and bandmates Nick Wheeler (lead guitar), Mike Kennerty (rhythm guitar) and Chris Gaylor (drums) all dressed as Elvis Presley. They were playing opposite topline artists Paramore and Death Cab for Cutie. Yet 30,000 fans crammed in front of their secondary stage singing not just the ingrained hits, but deep album cuts as well. 'I was crying,' Ritter, 41, says. 'We all left with collective goosebumps of, maybe we should do this again.' And they are. For the past week, AAR have stormed barns, bowling alleys and backyards – places suggested by fans on their Instagram – for a series of free pop-up concerts. Notice is short, but response has been overwhelming. Crowds are filled with millennials who appreciated their spiky pop the first time and college kids eager to experience a viral tsunami. The band recently released 'Sandbox,' the first single from their first album in almost 14 years and will tour more conventionally starting Aug. 10 as openers on the Jonas Brothers' stadium tour. A few hours before storming Nashville with a secret location concert, a humble Ritter talked about the 'comet' the band has been on and why he is beside himself 'with gratitude' before ultimately declaring, 'I guess I have a horseshoe up my (rear-end) right now.' More: Kendrick Lamar: Not like anyone else Question: So how did this idea to play in backyards and barns originate? Answer: We did a show in LA that was the kind that you have to do when promoting new music. It left a sour taste in our mouths and in this giant gorilla of an industry we're clawing our way back into, we decided to put on a show the next day. Our manager had the idea to have the local college radio station host us. We gave a five-hour heads up that we were playing a kid's house at University of Southern California and we start playing and there were 40s (alcohol cans) hoisted in the air and people crowd surfing. I looked into some of their eyes and I saw a rite of passage moment was happening. That they're going, 'I saw pictures of my parents doing this, but I never got to.' The only culture most of them had was EDM and that environment is so different from rock. We were lifting that veil for kids. And then you kept on going? My wife (Elina) is due on June 11 and we saw a hole in the calendar this month and said, let's do this again. It was really the brainchild of our manager (Megan Kraemer). She's 29 and has inspired such energy in the band. The first show was in Green Bay and it started this wildfire. Honestly, we're in the Icarus moment. You seem really excited about everything happening. It feels incredible and indescribable right now. It's from this hope to have something to say again as a band and present to an audience we didn't resonate with anywhere but radio and MTV. We never had the culture that a lot of bands of our time did, like Blink-182 with fashion and skate culture. So to be able to put out new music and find our footing as a band with this activation, I'm so beside myself with gratitude. We've always been the 'songs that have that band' and now we can be 'that band that has those songs.' There is a lot of online discussion from the generation that grew up with you that the band returning is a comfort in an exhausting world. Do you feel that way? No, I mean anything you do with intention, especially writing music, you're asking for a failed experience. If we would have planned this any more than the sketch that it was designed in, it would have felt really false. We're just holding onto a comet right now. What are the biggest and smallest crowds you've played for so far? The biggest was 5,000 in Ames, Iowa, and the smallest was probably Chicago. We were in a backyard where the capacity was 120 so I walked over to the neighbor and said, 'I want to buy 45 minutes in your yard, what will it cost?' He was shaking me down (laughs). He wanted $750. I said how about $500 and after haggling we landed on $600 and got about 400 people to fit. It was a suburban area so it was people coming from the backyards around us, sitting on porches. Everything has been so cinematic. You also got a visit from the police during the house party in Columbia, Missouri. (Laughs) Oh yeah, that was great. We had heard that the police there were really firm with the college kids and when five cop cars showed up my manager had this face of doom. I walked offstage and our guitarist did this (gives a thumbs-down with both hands) and everyone booed so loudly that I said to the police, 'If you want everyone to get out of here peacefully, let us finish.' One cop was like, 'We didn't know it was YOU!' I said 'thank you, officer,' and we did 'Gives You Hell' and got out! But it's that kind of positive energy that is following us. More: Bono talks revealing film, new U2 music: 'It's time to face the future and dance' What are the criteria for where you're going to play once you get the requests on Instagram? The bigger the yard, the better. The more removed from town, the better. Roller skating rinks are welcome. I really want to play a roller skating rink. I can picture (the skating move) shooting the duck while doing 'Gives You Hell.' The new video for 'Sandbox' is such campy fun. Where did you get the idea for murderous puppets? We're DIY right now. We're not on a major label so we're boot strapping it all. My manager found (director) Joseph Kahn's info on LinkedIn. He's done videos for everyone (Britney Spears, Imagine Dragons, Backstreet Boys) and he pitched an idea that really resonated with the single. The song is about a war on a playground and … needed to be paired with something that speaks to childhood innocence and he said, 'How about murderous puppets?' When is the full album due? January. Since it's such a DIY thing, every chance to release a song is a microphone. So we'll release a new song every few weeks until the Jonas Brothers tour. So how did that pairing come about? I met them at an activation in New Jersey and was really taken aback by their professionalism and hard work. I think they played eight shows that day for their fans and I knew they were fans of ours, but I went in kind of blind and quickly realized, these guys are top shelf. Playing stadiums will be a big swing from playing house parties. Do you think you'll have to do much physical preparation? Playing a backyard stage is a perfect size. MetLife (Stadium) in August … (laughs). Keeping up with the Jonas Brothers, man, I'm going to have to jump on a treadmill. We'll be traveling with ointments. Which is probably a little different than your tours back in the day. Yeah, back then we were sleeping in vans and our bones were made of rubber.

A Timeline of Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco's Relationship
Fans have a lot of reason to want to see Selena Gomez find love. The singer-actress has been open about her struggles with heartbreak in the past, and her on-off relationship with Justin Bieber, as well as their painful final breakup in 2018, was highly publicized. More from Billboard Turnstile Shares New Video & Songs Featuring Vocals From Dev Hynes & Paramore's Hayley Williams: Listen Sheryl Crow Gives Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo & Phoebe Bridgers Their Flowers: 'Caliber of Writing Is Just So Good' Hot 100 First-Timers: Forrest Frank Makes Solo Debut With Christian Hit 'Your Way's Better' But while 2023 brought several dating rumors relating to Gomez — including Zayn Malik and The Chainsmokers' Drew Taggart — they all ended up being fruitless, with the Rare Beauty founder confirming her single status several times with funny posts on social media. That is, until Benny Blanco came along. The pop producer, who was previously linked to model Elsie Hewitt, proved to be the real deal for Gomez. He started off as one of the 'Lose You to Love Me' singer's collaborators, having also engineered songs for artists such as Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Halsey, Kesha, Britney Spears and, ironically, Bieber. The unexpected couple privately started dating midway through 2023, keeping their relationship out of the spotlight for several months before going public. Since then, the two stars haven't been shy about sharing sweet photos of each other on social media, as well as showing their love through custom accessories. And in addition to pop music, the pair also has a love of cooking in common; Gomez is the host of Max's Selena + Chef series, while Blanco is the author of cookbook Open Wide. See a timeline of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's relationship below, from when they first went public with their love, to their before they became an item, Gomez and Blanco collaborated on the producer's song 'I Can't Get Enough,' which also featured J Balvin and Tainy. In March 2019, the quartet released a music video for the track, complete with flirty shots of the Spring Breakers actress interacting with Blanco in a teddy bear costume. Though it may have just been a cheeky teaser for her then unreleased song 'Single Soon,' Gomez posted a hilarious TikTok announcing her solo status to a team of soccer players. 'I'm single! I'm just a little high maintenance,' she yells in the clip.'Single Soon,' Gomez's first and only release of 2023, arrived in August, and was co-produced by Blanco and Cashmere Cat. Gomez would later reveal in December that she'd been dating Blanco for about six months, meaning they were likely already dating when the song October 2023, Gomez hosted her inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit, which supported youth mental health. And guess who was on the guest list? One Benny Blanco. And though they hadn't yet gone public with their relationship at the time, the pair was already an item at this point. Following rumors of the pair's romance, Gomez confirmed her relationship with Blanco in a series of comments to fans on Instagram. 'He is my absolute everything in my heart,' she commented on a since-deleted Instagram post by a fan account, before replying to other commenters. 'I don't understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest. If you don't, feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I'm done. If you can't accept me at my happiest then don't be in [my] life at all.' She also said at the time that she and the producer had already been dating for half a year by that point, telling one fan, 'It's been 6 months bb.' Gomez followed up her comments about her relationship with a few photos of Blanco on her Instagram Story, as well as a snap of a letter 'B' ring — presumably a tribute to her new beau's initials. Gomez shared her first pictures with Blanco on her Instagram feed, including one of the couple posing with a group of friends and one of the producer wrapping her in a romantic after the 'Calm Down' singer confirmed her romance with Blanco, her cover story with Vogue México y Latinoamérica went live. In the interview, she revealed that she prioritizes a 'special connection' with a partner that 'allows for self-respect and holds space for the feelings of others.' 'Honestly, I have to start being attracted to the right kind of people, because it's a bit of both,' she added at the time. 'It's very hard to find someone who can listen to you and care about you, but I know when it happens it will be great and you will want it to be healthy.' Just a couple days after Christmas, the Only Murders in the Building star posted snaps from her date with Blanco at what appeared to be Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy, an amusement park-inspired art exhibit in Los Angeles. In addition to a cuddly couple's selfie in front of a many-mirrored structure, Gomez shared a picture of Blanco admiring the same pink-hued construction (see below). Gomez and Blanco rang in 2024 together, based on a picture of the couple the 'Lose You to Love Me' singer shared on her Instagram Story over New Year's weekend. In the snap, the producer sweetly wraps his arms around Gomez and appears to kiss her, while she holds his arm and leans her head into and Blanco kicked off the new year by embarking on their first public outing together, attending a Los Angeles Lakers home game and cuddling up after the 2024 Golden Globes wrapped, Gomez shared a photo on her Instagram Story of her smooching Blanco in what appeared to be a backstage storage room filled with boxes. The singer-actress was still in her crimson Giorgio Armani gown in the snap, while the pop music engineer sported a suit jacket and gold necklaces. And even though Gomez lost for best TV performance by a female actor, musical or comedy, she definitely left feeling like a victor that night. 'I won,' she sweetly captioned her photo with Blanco. Gomez brought Blanco to the 2024 Emmys, where her show with co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin Only Murders in the Building was nominated for best comedy series. (The award ended up going to FX's hit project The Bear.) In one clip from the night, the producer blew a kiss to Gomez before parting ways with the actress so that she could take on the red carpet solo. Afterward, Blanco joined the 'Love On' singer in taking their seats inside Los Angeles' Peacock Theater next to Short and Martin. Gomez commemorated V-Day by sharing a selfie on Instagram Stories of her and Blanco flashing peace signs for the camera. 'I love you,' she captioned the post, simply but powerfully. In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, Gomez opened up about the security Blanco gives her. 'Without getting into too much detail, I think it's just really important to meet someone that respects you,' she told the radio host. 'And I think it's really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in.' 'I'd have to say overall, it's the safest that I feel and it's been really lovely,' she added. 'I've only grown through it, so it's awesome.' In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Blanco revealed that he first realized he had feelings for Gomez while the pair were in a recording session together. 'I was the last one to know,' he noted. 'It's crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don't even notice, and then you have that Clueless moment where you're like, 'Wait, I'm in love.'' The producer also told the publication that he and the singer, who share a passion for cooking, often work together in the kitchen. At one point, they collaborated on a steakhouse dinner for their families, with Gomez's corn casserole and his own corn bread with honey butter stealing the show. During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco was forthright about his longterm plans with Gomez: having kids, which he hinted at wanting sooner rather than later. 'That's my next goal, to check the box,' the hitmaker said of becoming a father. 'It's always a topic of conversation to me every day.' As for proposing, Blanco said of Gomez, 'I take everything a day at a time and I just know that when I look at her, I just say, 'I don't know a world where it could be better than this.' That's what I always say to her.' Gomez said in her May TIME100 cover story that she's also all aboard the parenthood train. Of Blanco's remarks on Stern's show, she joked, 'He can't lie to save his life … If he's asked a question, he'll answer it.' The star went on to reveal that even if she hadn't started dating Blanco, she would've had kids on her own anyway. 'I was alone for five years, and I got really used to it,' she told the publication. 'I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it. Then I came up with my plan, which was I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone.' In an adorable TikTok, Gomez and Blanco revealed details about their respective roles in the relationship, including who said 'I love you' first. (Spoiler: it was Gomez.) On her 32nd birthday, Gomez celebrated by the beach with Blanco and some friends and showed off her letter 'B' charm necklace on social media. Plus, the producer made a sappy post reflecting on one of their first collaborations: 'I Can't Get Enough' with Tainy and J Balvin, for which he dressed as a white teddy bear. 'i used to play a teddy bear in ur music video and now i get to b urs in real life… happy bday bb ! i love u !' he wrote. Later that day, Gomez posted a photo of him kissing her forehead on her Story and wrote, 'Love of my life.' In her Vanity Fair cover story published Sept. 9, Gomez gushed about her boyfriend and her excitement to start a family someday while revealing that she won't be able to experience pregnancy due to medical issues. 'I haven't ever said this,' she told the publication. 'But I unfortunately can't carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby's in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.' 'I've never been loved this way,' she added of Blanco, noting that she's open to starting her family via surrogacy or adoption. 'He's just been a light. A complete light in my life. He's my best friend. I love telling him everything.' Pop the champagne! Gomez announced in an Instagram post that she and her producer beau are engaged. 'forever begins now..' she captioned her carousel of photos, which began with a closeup snap of her ring. Commented Blanco on the post, 'hey wait… that's my wife'On their second Valentine's Day as a couple — and their first as fiancés — Gomez and Blanco unveiled plans to release a joint album titled I Said I Love You First. That day, the couple also dropped the project's lead single, 'Scared of Loving You.' 'I always trick you guys,' Gomez wrote on Instagram when announcing the 14-track record. 'My NEW album I Said I Love You First with my best friend @itsbennyblanco, is out on 3/21 … We can't wait to share this special project with you soon!'While attending the 2025 Oscars after Emilia Pérez — in which she starred alongside Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofía Gascón — scooped 13 nominations, Gomez had her favorite plus-one at her side. While appearing on Hot Ones together, Blanco revealed that his partner had introduced him to the music of someone very important to her: Taylor Swift. 'Before we started dating, like obviously, I was aware of Taylor Swift's music,' he said on the show while powering through bites of spicy hot wings. 'But I wasn't, like, a true Swiftie until I was with [Selena]. And now I'll be like, 'Put that song on. How's that one go again?' And we're in the car, and I'm like, 'Wow I'm just singing Taylor Swift songs from 10 years ago and I feel free.'' 'They're timeless, what can I say?' Gomez added of her bestie's songs. A little over a month after announcing the project, Blanco and Gomez unveiled their first collaborative album, I Said I Love You First. The project debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and sold 120,000 units in its first week. 'It just felt like it was a little taste of what we are and how we made this together, and how much we loved it and how much we love each other,' Gomez described the project in an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe. 'And it just felt like it was meant to be.' In an adorable Instagram video, Blanco showed off the sweet way he gave Gomez the prom experience after learning she never attended the dance when she was a teenager. Inviting her to get all dressed up as he donned a tuxedo, the couple took cheesy photos together at the mall. Shortly prior, Blanco revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show, 'Selena had never been to a prom before, so I thought I'd throw us a prom for my birthday.' While guesting on Table Manners With Jessie and Lennie Ware, Blanco and Gomez recalled the story of their first kiss — which, due to the way her skin reacted in the moment, left the latter 'a little embarrassed.' 'Her heart started beating quickly, she started getting a rash on her face, and she was so nervous,' Blanco added, while his partner explained, 'When you feel something behind the kiss, it's completely different.'

PinkPantheress Previews New Mixtape With Single ‘Tonight'
PinkPantheress British singer PinkPantheress is gearing up for the release of her next mixtape with the new single 'Tonight.' The song is animated by a sample of Panic! at the Disco's 2008 song 'Do You Know What I'm Seeing?", a creative choice that she alluded to back in 2021. "The beat might be drum 'n' bass, but the writing style might be something you'd hear in a hyperpop song, or early '00s Paramore or Panic! at the Disco,' she told Crack magazine at the time of her sonic curation process. 'I'm picking my favorite musical attributes from certain genres, bands, and artists, and combining them.' 'I leave my bedroom with my posters of you up / I do this all because you're my superstar / I look at you and I wonder why its so complicated / You're talking out to a crowd of people who thought you hated / Your friends will tell me you're too scared of coming up / But tonight, why is it all emotional to me?' she sings on the new track. 'You want sex with me / Come talk to me / Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight / You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm callin' tonight / Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight / You're sex on fire, that's why I like goin' tonight.' Carving her own musical lane in an industry so determined to squeeze her into a box has been a challenge, but PinkPantheress isn't one to let outside voices get to her. 'A lot of my career has been people telling me their perception of me rather than me saying who I am,' she told Mixmag this week. 'Being a 'popstar' or being in the public eye can definitely make you lose yourself. I am somebody who knows myself down to the bone but I'm telling you, being a singer makes it so easy to think about what people think or want to hear and it makes you lose elements of your beginnings.' PinkPantheress' next project is out May 9.
