Philly Punks Brackish Re-emerge with New Line-up & Worlds EP Produced By The Menzingers' Andy Clarke & Tom May (Black Numbers)

Brackish is an unabashedly Punk/Hardcore band originally hailing from Trenton, NJ and currently based out of Philly. Championed by Darko The Super, Lt. Headtrip, Ray Strife, and my older cousin Josh, Brackish make a nostalgic, yet extremely modern brand of early 2000's-reminiscent Screamo/Emo & Pop-Punk. If you are/were ever a fan of Bayside, Dashboard Confessional, Take This to Your Grave-era Fall Out Boy, Glassjaw, Jimmy Eat World, Midtown, Saves The Day, Senses Fail, Sunny Day Real Estate, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, or The Used, I would strongly suggest checking out Brackish. The Witzard, as you may well remember, previously featured Brackish's 2017 Black Numbers EP and 7-inch, Coming Down. Today, they're back with yet another EP on Black Numbers (their third overall) simply titled Worlds; once again, produced by The Menzingers' Andy Clarke & Tom May at Retro City Studios in Philly with drums recorded by Sean Glonek at SRG Studios in Hamilton, NJ and mastered by Rachel Lighter of Nervous Dater.

This time, however, Brackish have re-emerged with an entirely new line-up than both Young People (2015) and Coming Down (2017) - consisting of long-time members Connor Byrne & Nick Rosica, as well as former YJY bassist Tim Fitzpatrick AKA Tim Fitz and current Sick Sh*t drummer Zach Miller. "Here's our newest effort, Worlds, in its entirety. Some of these songs are so old they were written in 2009 and others were written right before we went into the studio. So thankful to present them to the world," Brackish (@Brackishtheband) wrote within a heart-warming Facebook post Friday morning. "Please, take the time to listen and share it, if you like it. Thank you so much for your time and support ❤️" they continued. Brackish's phenomenal 5-track Worlds EP is currently available to stream or download from Amazon, Apple Music, Bandcamp, Spotify, and like-minded digital retailers. Brackish are planning to hit the road with Awakebutstillinbed for their 6-date June Tour 2018 across the East Coast spanning 6/11-16.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

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. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . 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...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
