Screamo Trio Knumears Joins Run For Cover With Explosive New Single “Breaking Ground”

Los Angeles screamo classicists Knumears have signed to Run For Cover Records and Summer Shade, the imprint led by Fury’s Madison Woodward, celebrating with the release of “Breaking Ground.” The track serves as a perfect introduction to the three-piece’s harrowing blend of old school screamo and ferocious hardcore, exploding through bracing dynamic shifts before building to a stunning scream-along finale. Available everywhere now and as a limited 7″ single, “Breaking Ground” was recorded by Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden and comes paired with an intense music video.

Guitarist and vocalist Matthew Cole, bassist and vocalist Dante Garcia II, and drummer Frankie Lopez have been touring relentlessly since forming in 2018, steadily releasing heartrendingly compelling music that carries the torch for one of hardcore’s most esoteric corners. Whether you call it screamo, skramz, or emoviolence, Knumears deliver a fresh take on the chaos and catharsis that define this sound, channeling the spirit of ’90s innovation while carving out their own path forward. The band promises more to come in 2026.

Cinematic Rock Band Edge Of Paradise Unleashes Epic “Requiem For A Dream” Reimagining

Edge of Paradise has released their reimagining of the iconic “Requiem for a Dream” theme, transforming the haunting score into a massive cinematic rock experience. The international band takes the simple yet powerful melody and amplifies it with soaring vocals, crushing riffs, and immersive soundscapes that bridge film composition and heavy music. Singer and visual artist Margarita Monet explains that the theme has always resonated deeply with her, inspiring the band to explore how a single melody can unlock entire emotional worlds filled with darkness, light, and everything between. Following their latest album ‘Prophecy’ on Napalm Records, the band continues expanding their multimedia universe with a striking music video that captures their signature fusion of sound, story, and atmosphere. Monet’s artwork for the project was recently unveiled at the NoHo CineFest in Hollywood, where she received the Outstanding Artist Award for her visual work and storytelling through her graphic novel that extends Edge of Paradise’s cinematic universe. The band’s reach into film expands further with their song “The Unknown” appearing in the upcoming feature film The Complete Course of Howard French, directed by Gustavo Sampaio. This is a band that refuses to be confined by genre boundaries, creating art that lives and breathes across multiple dimensions while maintaining the raw power that makes their music hit so hard.

Beyond “Slippery Slope” and first single “L.M.A.,” the collection features standout moments like “Keeper From the Start” and a reimagined version of fan favorite “We All Need Rescue” that transforms the deep cut into something vital and current. Contributions from Anthony Abbinanti on percussion and horn players Rich Graiko and Carlos Menezes Jr. add depth to the band’s already rich sound.

Elise Trouw Unveils Satirical Alter Ego With “All You Need Is Lust” From ‘The Diary Of Elon Lust’

Elise Trouw has stepped into uncharted territory with “All You Need Is Lust,” the opening salvo from her forthcoming concept album ‘The Diary of Elon Lust,’ which arrived today alongside a visually stunning music video. The genre-blurring multi-instrumentalist and visual artist crafted this 14-track satirical project around a fictional alter ego named Elon Lust, a 20-something male character built from real conversations and encounters that reveal uncomfortable truths about entitlement and objectification. The album releases February 13th, 2026 via Midtopia.

What began as comedic songwriting transformed into something far more authentic for Trouw. She found herself channeling words that had been spoken to her, to her friends, and likely to countless others into this persona that serves as archetype, confession, and warning all at once. The creative process unlocked a new level of honesty in her work, allowing her to explore these themes through a lens that’s both provocative and revealing.
