Canadian Indie Rockers The Alpacas Return with First Single Since 2016's The Best Is Behind You, "Find The Coast" (Willow Music)

Last we heard from Barrie, Ontario, Canada-bred Indie Rock/Pop-Punks The Alpacas, they were readying their full-length debut, The Best Is Behind You, for release on Willow Music nearly three years ago. It has since birthed three digital singles: "Wax," "Cab Fare," and "Artifacts," as well as music videos for both "Wax" and "Cab Fare." Prior to the album release and roll-out—August 2015, to be exact—a music video and single were released to accompany album track "Mezzanine." Now, The Alpacas are back with their first taste of new music since The Best Is Behind You; "Find The Coast" was released across digital streaming services Friday, June 22nd. "Big thanks to Nick Boyd [Hollerado] for co-writing, engineering, and producing this banger! Another big thanks to Lacquer Channel Mastering and Noah Mintz for the fantastic mastering job!" The Alpacas enthusiastically posted on their Facebook page Friday afternoon. "Find The Coast" is a little bit more Death Cab for Cutie-indebted than The Alpacas' slightly more Indie Rock/Pop-Punk-leaning material from The Best Is Behind You. According to The Alpacas, "Find The Coast" is just the first in a series of planned singles to be released in the near future. For those interested in learning more about The Alpacas and The Best Is Behind You, I would strongly recommend checking out The Witzard's 2016 interview with "screamin' wildcat" frontman Greg Lee. "Find The Coast" is now available to stream or download on Apple Music, Soundcloud, Spotify, YouTube Music, and like-minded digital platforms.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age.

Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
