The mosh pit has become such a familiar part of live music that it's easy to forget there was a time when it didn't exist. What started in underground punk scenes eventually spread through hardcore, thrash metal, grunge, nu-metal, metalcore and far beyond. So how did running into strangers become a concert tradition?

For years, people have been saying the same thing: rock is dead. And for years, rock has been quietly proving them wrong. It’s not exploding the way it did in the ’90s. It’s not dominating radio the way it did in the 2000s. But if you look a little closer, you’ll see it, in streaming numbers, sold-out tours, viral moments, and a new wave of artists pushing rock back into the spotlight.

Johnny Ramone didn't need an overflowing wardrobe to become a style icon. His formula was almost aggressively simple. Black leather jacket, T-shirt, ripped jeans, sneakers and that unmistakable bowl haircut. Alongside the rest of the Ramones, Johnny helped create a visual identity that became inseparable from punk rock itself. The brilliance was in the consistency. While other rock stars embraced extravagance, the Ramones looked like four guys who had walked in off the street

Few musicians have influenced the look of rock ’n’ roll quite like Keith Richards. This week, we break down the formula behind one of rock ’n’ roll's greatest style icons.

Before Blink-182 became one of the defining bands of modern pop-punk, they were just three kids from Southern California with skate parks, cheap gear, and a shared obsession with fast, loud, funny music. Their story isn’t a straight line, it’s full of breakups, reinventions, and some of the most iconic songs of the late ’90s and 2000s.

Every band has a starting point, a basement, a few amps, and a reason to play. For Feral Union, that story begins back in 2016.

Francesca’s story with the guitar started almost before she could walk. Her love for music skyrocketed when a childhood encounter with rock icons turned into a lifelong dream.

For more than two decades, the Vans Warped Tour wasn’t just a concert, it was a summer ritual for fans of punk, pop-punk, skate culture, and alternative music. Loud stages, dusty parking lots, and endless lines of band merch created a traveling community that shaped an entire generation of music fans.

The rock and metal world lost one of its most trusted riff architects on March 13, 2026, when Phil Campbell, longtime guitarist of Motörhead, passed away at the age of 64 following complications after a major operation.

Sometimes it’s not the notes that matter most, it’s what happens between them. Meet The Space Between, from Ottawa, Ontario.

With the release of her debut EP Shattered, Taryn Haze isn’t just introducing herself as an artist, she’s opening a deeply personal chapter.

Some artists meticulously plan every note. Others let instinct take the wheel. Derek Morris lives firmly in the second camp, a creator fueled by emotion, raw honesty, and the belief that music can genuinely help people. His sound blends punk rock energy, hip-hop attitude, and acoustic vulnerability into something unmistakably his own.

On January 7th 1971, Black Sabbath released Paranoid in the United States, an album that didn’t just follow their debut, but set the blueprint for heavy metal. Originally released in the UK in 1970, Paranoid crossed the Atlantic and quickly established Sabbath as one of the heaviest, most uncompromising bands in rock history.

Hailing from Chico, California, Bloodsugar is an alt-rock band fueled by distortion, vulnerability, and catharsis.

What began as a single idea has quickly grown into something much larger. Doll Fest isn’t just a music festival, it’s a community, a statement, and a space intentionally built for those who have too often been pushed to the margins of the music world.
