Single Review: Wont Go by Record Pink

"Won’t Go" by Record Pink is a moody, contemplative track that captures the struggle of feeling trapped by something inescapable—whether anxiety, a relationship, or self-doubt. The lyrics are raw and vivid, with lines like "Giving up all I’ve got when I don’t know what’s coming" and the haunting repetition of "it won’t go" driving home the sense of being stuck in a cycle. The contrast between darkness ("Ripping out from the ground when I don’t wanna fear it") and fleeting hope ("I feel the light but I just wanna see it") makes the song feel deeply relatable, like a soundtrack for anyone grappling with their own inner demons.


Musically, the track’s hypnotic, swirling atmosphere mirrors the lyrics’ emotional weight. The production is polished yet understated, allowing the repetitive chorus and swelling intensity to create a sense of urgency and resignation. It’s the kind of song that lingers, leaving you to reflect on what won’t go in your own life. With its blend of vulnerability and moody vibes, "Won’t Go"stands out as a standout track for anyone who’s ever felt stuck.

Artist Interview: Shallo

Image
  Meet SHALLO, the Dublin-based duo composed of Shawn and Willow, blending alternative rock and metal with high-energy live performances. In this interview, they share the story behind their music, their creative process, and what's next for the band. Tori: Congrats on your new single “Betrayal”! Can you tell us about the story behind it and how it came together? Shawn: It began with me having an initial idea for most of the song. I knew what I wanted the lyrical theme to be, and the riffs and melodies followed that. Most of our songs begin with that anyway, and I record it all into my computer and send it off to Willow. Willow: When I got the first draft of the song, one of the first ideas I had was in the bridge. The original version that Shawn sent me did not have any vocals for the bridge, just the riff. Shawn straight up told me "Do something here". This gave me the space to come up with the bridge vocal part that thematically fit the song. Tori: What was the inspir...

Ep Review: Penumbra by Haunted Shoes

Image
  Haunted Shoes ’ latest EP, Penumbra , is a deeply resonant five-track exploration of emotional shadows, using the astronomical term for a partial shadow as its central metaphor to navigate anxiety, self-sabotage, and the heavy weight of relationships. The EP immediately confronts the paralyzing fear of potential failure in a crush on the opener, "This:", highlighted by the raw lyric, "What if my heart dies because of this, because I couldn't take the risk. Because I gave into fear." This theme of uncertainty continues in " Where This Goes ," which thoughtfully dissects the distance created by unspoken feelings, though its emotional depth is slightly diminished by vocals that can sound monotonous. ​The EP finds its emotional peak with the standout track, " Blackout ," a powerful anthem detailing the desperate desire to forget toxic memories and relationships, perfectly encapsulated by the line, "I won't be thinking of you while I’m ...
