Lifeguard: The Best of What’s Next

Lifeguard’s story sounds straight out of a coming-of-age film. Before graduating high school, the trio got signed to storied indie label Matador, following word-of-mouth success in their local Chicago scene. Thriving from a young age isn’t that surprising anymore. Artists like Billie Eilish, Yung Lean, Justin Bieber, and beabadoobee reached fame by sharing music online before turning 18. But Lifeguard stands out as something special, with an approach to their artistry so advanced and throughout that you’d think they’ve been around for over a decade.

Looking back at Water From Your Eyes' 2023, it's a better question to ask what the duo, composed of vocalist Rachel Brown and instrumentalist Nate Amos, hasn't done this year.

Rebecca Black is ready to re-introduce herself

It’s been a decade since Rebecca Black became an instant viral meme at just 13 years old with her video for “Friday.” After teasing a new era of her music in 2020 with singles like “Self Sabotage/Closer” and her collaboration with Dorian Electra, “Edgelord,” Black released Rebecca Black Was Here this past June.

Adam Lazzara looks back at Taking Back Sunday's "MakeDamnSure"

In 2005, Taking Back Sunday signed to Warner Bros., marking a big shift for the group’s career. TBS had contributed one of the Louder Now tracks, “Error: Operator” to the Fantastic Four soundtrack before Louder Now came out, but the band still needed a lead single to introduce audiences to a new era of Taking Back Sunday. “MakeDamnSure” proved to be the perfect choice. It was devoid of the Myspace emo fare of overly dramatic references to self-harm (though they’re still addicts for dramatics in the Louder Now era), retaining the emotionally charged essence of the band’s previous hit singles, with a chorus that begs to be sung along to: “I just want to break you down so badly in the worst way.”
