Peaches – Not In Your Mouth None Of Your Business (Bite Down. Back Off)

With her 2000 release The Teaches of Peaches, Peaches established her own electro‑punk lane and has since earned worldwide acclaim for provocative themes around embodiment and gender.

From No Lube So Rude—her first new album in a decade since 2015’s Rub—this advance single, released in October 2024, is a ferocious punk-dance anthem featuring Berlin-based producer The Squirt Deluxe.

Centered on bodily self-sovereignty and the assertion of queer identity, it delivers a forceful rejection of outside interference, with a thrilling message about transforming friction into pleasure and pride.

She has also announced that a portion of proceeds from her North American tour, slated to begin in February 2026, will be donated to the Trans Justice Funding Project, underscoring her commitment to uniting music with social activism.

Yellowcard ft Avril Lavigne – You Broke Me Too (Official Lyric Video)

After releasing their self-titled album in 2016 and going on hiatus, Yellowcard reunited in 2022 and will release their new album “Better Days” in October 2025.

The producer is Travis Barker of blink-182, who also handles the drum parts.

This track serves as the emotional core of the album—a ballad that features a star-studded collaboration with the “punk rock princess” herself, Avril Lavigne.

Their poignant duet, sharing the pain of wounded hearts, is elevated to dramatic heights by Yellowcard’s signature violin and Barker’s dynamic, ebb-and-flow drumming.

It’s a fitting song for a fresh start after a long hiatus, radiating hope and renewal.

The Pretty Reckless – Where Are You Christmas? (Official Visualizer)

Taylor Momsen, who played Cindy Lou Who in the 2000 film “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” has self-covered the song she performed in the movie, reimagining it as a rock number 25 years later.

Released in October 2025, the track features a duet-style arrangement that layers her childhood vocals with her present-day, powerful voice, creating a compelling dialogue across time.

With distorted guitars and dynamic drums, the rock approach elevates the original’s lyricism without diminishing it, letting the yearning for lost Christmas magic resonate deeply.

Included on the holiday EP “Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas,” the song captures Momsen’s willingness to confront her past self while pushing toward new modes of expression.

ReuniteNEW!Allie X

Allie X – Reunite (Official Visualizer)

The new song released in October 2025 by Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X is a powerful work centered on the theme of reintegrating a self that has been crushed by the pressures of life and fragmented.

It delivers a message celebrating reconciliation with one’s own body, reflecting the deep introspection unique to an artist who has grappled with an autoimmune disease for many years.

The distinctive production—melding baroque-style classical instrumentation with contemporary electropop—is superb, creating a world where nostalgia and hope intersect.

This track is the second single from the forthcoming album “Happiness Is Going to Get You,” which will feature 12 songs, heightening anticipation for its release.

It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone who is facing themselves and striving to move forward.
