Loviet Goes in Search of Her Own Voice on Debut Full-Length Album ‘777’
Loviet has never shied away from the fact that her debut full-length album, 777, is a bit of a motley collection. It is, as she says, the theme park to the rollercoaster of her previously released EP, Everyone Know The Thrills When It’s Over.

Dad Patrol Add New Bandmates and Play Peeping Tom on the Divine with ‘Sinful Ways’
Dad Patrol have returned with their first single since the release of their album Yellow Phase in late 2020. “Sinful Ways” is the band’s first single that features their new lineup and details a fall from grace—though, to be honest, there are plenty of things out there that seem more enjoyable than grace, at least in the short run.
