Every genre has band's bands, but hardcore also has mosher's bands. Final Resting Place are currently the No. 1 seed among people you don't want to stand near on the dancefloor. Wrote about their new EP, as well as some new shoegaze and some old-school death-grind. www.elienis.com/chasing-frid...

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social: www.statnews.com/2025/01/31/c...
