Scene Queen has unleashed a new single and video, Manicure.
Following her fun side-quest into disco with Platform Shoes and L‑Shaped Couch, today Hannah Collins dives straight back into more of her signature sound that we’ve all come to know and love her for.
“The song Manicure is one of many songs from a new era where I really went back to my roots,” she explains. “I got into the studio with as few people as possible and thought, ‘If I could make Bimbocore again, knowing what I know now musically and personally, what would be different?’
“As much as I love the humour and pop sensibilities of Bimbocore, and plan on keeping those going, I realised I’d make the heavier parts even more jarring and rage filled. Thus, my angry song for long-nailed divas was born.
“The idea came from a conversation I had in a bar in Nashville months ago with Joey where the song Goodbye Earl by The Chicks came on and he challenged me to write it from my metal perspective. So story-wise, it follows a similar idea: if you could save your friend from a terrible man, wouldn’t you? It’s also very self-aware in the sense of saying, yes I am beating up a man again in a song but it’s because they keep doing awful things.”
Check out Manicure:

Yesterday afternoon, we were all surprised to learn that supergroup Better Lovers was splitting with their vocalist Greg Puciato. At the time, the band’s explanation was that they were “moving in another direction” and that was all we knew until the outgoing vocalist added his explanation, stating that “everyone’s cool.”
But apparently that explanation wasn’t enough for some fans online that have been theorizing about a possible alternate reason for Puciato’s ousting. Fan theories abound on social media, leading Puciato to once again comment on the situation via social media. In another post on Instagram, he said the following:
“SOMETIMES THERE ISN’T MORE TO THE STORY. EVER THINK OF THAT? HOLY SHIT WHAT A THOUGHT… SOMETIMES PEOPLE SAY OKAY HERE’S WHERE I WANNA GO, HERE’S WHAT I WANT, SOMEONE ELSE CAN WANT SOMETHING ELSE…
“THE MOMENT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE IN MEMORIES AND IN SONGS. AND SOMETIMES, IN CARTOON FROGS… @jordanfrombuffalo @mitchbhavin @qooseshoes and @willputney ARE ALL S-CLASS PEOPLE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEM. @betterloversband”
So there you have it. Further explanation that he and the rest of the band didn’t agree on the direction they wanted to take and that was that. End of story. Well, unless we hear something else from folks in the know. But for now, that’s the official story — all is good, both parties are cool with each other, and this was an amicable split.

German metal quartet, Departure From Hell have just released their fully self-produced single "Dead Inside". Following lineup changes, this is the band's first release with new vocalist Damien Trick.
The track begins with slamming drums and blistering distorted guitar riffs that remind of classic heavy metal. Soon chunky chugging and explosively low screams introduce a groovy but brutally heavy sound that reminds of acts like Lamb of God. Vocals alternate between harsh growls and dark singing, showcasing versatility as unrelenting guitar and drums lay down the backbone for the song.
Clocking in at just over 4 minutes, heavy verses are contrasted by more melodic choruses, effectively splitting things up. After the 2nd chorus, Departure From Hell launches the listener into a ferocious breakdown filled with slowed chugging, bright guitar leads, and booming drums. Departure From Hell takes clear influene from classic heavy metal and death metal acts, creating a sound that feels modern while paying homage to all-time greats in the genre.
Overall, "Dead Inside" is a visceral track that starts heavy and keeps a fierce intensity throughout its runtime. Departure From Hell delivers an exciting sound that showcases what is to come from the band in their upcoming EP. For a self-produced release, the mix is quite good though it still has a bit of roughness around the edges that seems to complement the brutalness of the music.
You can stream "Dead Inside" on all platforms now and stay tuned for the bands new EP that is in the works!
