Consider the location, cost, and duration of each event 

Making a decision about which event to attend can be daunting, but considering the location, cost, and duration of each one can make the process much easier. Location is key – you don’t want to commit to an event that requires hours of travel each way. Cost is also important – is it feasible financially for you to attend? And how long the event lasts could impact your decision too – is it just a few hours or a few days? By taking all of these factors into account, you can make an informed decision and choose the event that best fits your needs and schedule.

Get your concert or music festival tickets on time

The anticipation and excitement for upcoming concerts and music festivals can be overwhelming. The thought of seeing your favourite artist live and singing along to your favourite songs is thrilling. However, it’s important to ensure that you get your tickets on time. Remember to visit Ticket Squeeze for the best deals on event tickets to secure your plans in advance. Waiting until the last minute can result in disappointment and frustration if they sell out or the prices increase. By purchasing your tickets in advance, you can secure your spot and avoid any unnecessary stress. Plus, buying early can often get you better seats and increased savings. So, don’t wait too long, get your concert or music festival tickets on time and get ready to rock out!

Make sure to check if there are any age restrictions or special safety guidelines

Take a few extra moments to make sure any age restrictions or safety guidelines are noted before making a purchase. While it may be tempting to quickly click “buy” and move on with your day, going the extra mile to ensure everyone’s safety is well worth it in the long run. So, take a deep breath, read through the fine print, and enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re all set for a safe and enjoyable experience.

Music festivals and concerts are a great way to enjoy listening to the music you love while simultaneously discovering incredible new artists, all in the same place. In addition to music, this type of event also offers an amazing atmosphere to create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. And thanks to modern technology, attending these events has become easier than ever. All you need is some research time, tickets bought with plenty of time for delivery, and potentially a special gift or two. With those steps taken care of, you’re good to go! So don’t be afraid – get out there and experience the amazing world of live music!

Annie Hart Announces New Album, Shares New Single ‘Stop Staring at You’

Annie Hart has announced her fourth studio album, The Weight of a Wave. The follow-up to 2021’s Everything Pale Blue is due out August 4 via Uninhabitable Mansions. Today, Hart has shared the lead single ‘Stop Staring at You’, along with a Benjamin Kasulke-drected video. Check it out below and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.

“This song was inspired by a very charismatic friend of mine who was addicted to looking at how many likes they had on Instagram,” Hart explained in a statement. “I had fallen under their otherwise charming spell and was along for the ride of their friendship and fun adventures. One night, I saw them surrounded by fawning half-fans and saw them basking in the glow of this empty affection, and all lit up by being worshiped, and I just saw the sad emptiness of that kind of existence and knew there was nothing I could do for this person, that they had became the prisoner of their own misery. This song is about not judging your self worth on other people’s half-attention and finding your true value in yourself and your real relationships.”

Hart added: “The video for this song is a meta take on this concept. It zooms out and makes fun of me – I hired a director to make a video that is all about me, singing a song about other people obsessed with themselves. I wanted to make a statement about how we are all participants in this sort of self-indulgent behavior. But I also just wanted to dance and make weird art on the beach.”

Róisín Murphy Shares Video for New Single ‘Fader’

Róisín Murphy has released ‘Fader’, the third offering from her forthcoming album Hit Parade. Following previous singles ‘The Universe’ and ‘CooCool’, it arrives with a self-directed video set in Murphy’s hometown of Arklow, County Wicklow. Check it out below.

“This idea came to me partly in reaction to making such surreal and ‘other’ imagery for the album artwork, and partly in response to the track itself,” Murphy explained in a statement about the visual. “I felt I needed a totally authentic space in which to perform ‘Fader’. The song is about life & death & music and so I went home to where it all started for me.”

“Just as in the music there’s a huge HipHop influence on the video and for me to have the sheer front for that, it needed to ring true and so my home town, Arklow was in fact, the only option,” she continued. “It was a huge task to take on, connecting with local government counsellors because we had to close the high street and then, with local groups of all kinds, musicians, dancers, scouts, majorettes, farmers etc and much of my family… doing something like this is a massive responsibility and it threatened to overwhelm me at times. But on the day we had Hollywood sunshine and just an incredible sense of goodwill. The people of Arklow made me so proud. It truly turned out to be one of best days of life…”

Hit Parade comes out September 8 via Ninja Tune.

Snõõper Share Video for New Song ‘Powerball’

Nashville-based punk outfit Snõõper have previewed their upcoming debut album Super Snõõper with a new single, ‘Powerball’. It arrives with an accompanying video directed by vocalist Blair Tramel and featuring puppeteering by Grace Hall. Check it out below.

“‘Powerball’ was written after a scratch-off winning streak,” Tramel explained in a statement. “My mom called me to let us know that the Powerball jackpot was the highest it had been in years and we bought tickets. It’s a funny thing to feel like you are going to win something so arbitrary – to feel like you are going to be the one in a billion winner. When our numbers were not announced, we decided to buy some scratch-offs and, to my surprise, I won $50 on a $2 scratch off. I kept buying scratch-offs from different gas stations around town and kept winning. It was a comical sort of high I hadn’t felt before and even when I started losing money I wanted to keep going.”

Super Snõõper drops on July 14 via Jack White’s label Third Man Records.

M. Ward and First Aid Kit Collaborate on New Song ‘too young to die’

Ahead of the release of his new album Supernatural Thing, M. Ward has shared one more single, ‘too young to die’. It features First Aid Kit, who also make an appearance in the song’s video. Check it out below.

“First Aid Kit are sisters from Stockholm, and when they open their mouths, something amazing happens,” Ward said of the collaboration. “It was a great thrill to go to Stockholm and record a few songs there.  The sound from blood-related harmony singers is impossible to get any other way – The Everly Brothers, The Delmores, The Louvins, The Carters, The Söderbergs – all have the same kind of feeling in their vocals.”

12 Rods Release New Song ‘Twice’

12 Rods have unveiled a new song, ‘Twice’, lifted from their upcoming album If We Stayed Alive. It follows the previously released tracks ‘My Year (This Is Going to Be)’ and ‘Private Spies’. Listen to it below.

“Written as an impression of perpetual lucid change, not always being in charge and free from déjà vu,” the band’s Ryan Olcott explained in a statement. “I learned a valuable lesson upon completion that I should never write a melody that I can’t comfortably sing live. Quite possibly the last song written before 12 Rods broke up.”

If We Stayed Alive, the Minneapolis band’s first new LP in 21 years, is out July 7 via Husky Pants Records and American Dreams Records.

Stephen Steinbrink Shares New Song ‘Cruiser’ Featuring Boy Scouts

Stephen Steinbrink has shared a new single, ‘Cruiser’, which features Boy Scouts’ Taylor Vick. It’s taken from his upcoming full-length Disappearing Coin, which was announced last month with the track ‘Opalescent Ribbon’. Check it out below.

Speaking about ‘Cruiser’, Steinbrink said in a statement:

“Cruiser” was an experiment in writing from the perspective of a character living in the conservative defoliated suburban environments where me and a lot of folks I know grew up. This character feels he has to hide what he loves, hyper-vigilant for opportunities to mold himself into a shape that will be accepted by the people around him, independent because no one is paying attention. There are parts of myself in the character, but it’s mostly an amalgamation of friends I grew up with in the punk/DIY scene in Phoenix in the late 2000s before we all moved away. My longtime creative partner and collaborator Taylor Vick sings with me on this song, and also stars in the video we shot together in the suburbs outside of Modesto, where she gave a hilarious and stellar performance as a weird hybrid version of teenage Taylor and teenage Stephen. We went to the mall, snuck into a christian megachurch, and loitered at a cement plant, and tried to embody as much awkward ennui as we could. The video also features short performances by Reid Urban, an artist I met while living in Olympia in the early twenty-teens. “Cruiser” appears twice on Disappearing Coin in two vastly different arrangements, and is a central diptych that the rest of the album is structured around.

Disappearing Coin arrives August 18 via Western Vinyl.

Faye Webster Returns With New Single ‘But Not Kiss’

Faye Webster is back with ‘But Not Kiss’, her first new single in two years. The track comes paired with a video directed by Kyle Ng of Brain Dead and filmed at Los Angeles’ Bob Baker Marionette Theatre. Check it out below, along with Webster’s upcoming tour dates.

“I think it could be a really romantic song or a really anti-romantic song,” Webster said of ‘But Not Kiss’ in a statement. “It’s something I’ve looked for but struggled to find in other love songs, for them to describe this conflict or contradiction.” The artist, who is currently working on a new LP, added that the song “says a lot about what’s coming.”

Webster’s last album, I Know I’m Funny Haha, came out in 2021. She followed it up with the Car Therapy Sessions EP, which featured orchestral reworkings of past material.
