Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [5/25 – 5/31]

Female-Fronted Friday: No More Sun

When: Founded in 2015

Where: Hudson Valley, NY

Genre: Alt. Metal/Hard Rock

FFO: Spiritbox, Jinjer, New Years Day

Formerly known as No Worries, No More Sun is the modern face of alternative metal and rock. The band hails from New York and consists of vocalist/bassist Julia Foreman, drummer Andrew Gauzza IV, and guitarists Alex Hicks and Charles Apollo. Over the past couple of years, No More Sun has been dropping singles regularly, and in February 2023, they released a full-length album entitled No Worries.

You can check out their latest single, “Unspoken Mind,” below, along with a few other choice songs. Be sure to follow their socials for updates, music news, and details on upcoming shows – they have a few June dates lined up that you don’t wanna miss!

“Unspoken Mind”

“Sick of You”

“Leech”

“Odd One Out”

Female-Fronted Friday: Allie Riot

When: 2024

Where: California

Genre: Punk/Metal/Shock

FFO: Joan Jett, Wednesday 13, Poppy

Allie Riot blazed onto the scene in late 2024 with her rendition of The Runaways’ classic “Cherry Bomb.” Soon after, she released a rather spicy video, produced and directed by Society 1’s Matt Zane, to accompany the single, and her place as a shock punk princess was cemented. Allie followed “Cherry Bomb” with a G.G. Allin cover (“Gimme Some Head”), which was also paired with an appropriately risqué video.

However, in early 2026, she showcased her metal chops with the release of “Say Your Name,” offering a glimpse of her versatility. I am excited to see what’s next from Allie Riot!

You can check out “Say Your Name” and her other videos below. Be sure to follow her socials for updates and more music!
