Every band has a revolving door — Sparkler's just spins on the drum stool. 🥁 They've gone through 8 different drummers… but Amelia is only their second bassist ever. "Pretty good track record there." 😂

Another Family Meal with Chris. Spinal Tap energy or what? 👇

Chris turned Family Meal into a full interrogation. 🕵️ "Where were you on 9/11?" — going down the line like he's cracking a case. Sparkler's alibi? "I was in a first grade classroom." Airtight. 😂

Got an alibi that solid? 👇

"My favorite club? I'm legally bound." 😂⚽ Tron of Sparkler says being in the band means it has to be Chelsea FC — no say in the matter — though she reps her local San Diego side too. 💙

Two lifelong friends from Detroit, three years spent figuring out exactly what they wanted to sound like. "Burning For You" is the first answer — the lead single from Johnstonsons' debut "Hard II Impersonate," out October 16th.

Chelsea FC since '03, through and through — no others. ⚽💙 Sparkler reps the Blues hard… and yes, that's the only blue this band backs. 👀

The studio moment when you know you've got something. 🎚️ Sparkler on the quiet-to-loud transition that stopped them in their tracks — "we were sitting there going, oh my god, this is the best thing ever." That payoff is exactly why dynamics matter.

"One of my favorite recording sessions to date." 🎚️ Sparkler on a weekend where they felt completely locked in — this time with one of the band behind the board engineering instead of playing (well, except for a little bass). Sometimes the magic is in the mixing chair.

The hardest part was never the feeling. It's saying it out loud. "Say It" — the new video from Demmers, the New Jersey post-punk band turning a record-store afternoon into something neither of them can name yet.

First single, first taste. "Burning For You" is the lead single from Johnstonsons' debut album "Hard II Impersonate" — 80s-soaked new wave out of Detroit, out October 16th. Mark the date.

It always ends in the same room. That's what makes it "Familiar." The new video from Stare Away, NYC's solo post-punk and cold wave project from Ben Nelson.
