Whipped Cream: Bringing Swagger to EDM
 Punk’s Not Dead: The Regrettes Bring Feminist Garage Pop to the Firefly Stage
Whipped Cream is a swagged out Canadian DJ/producer who is straight fire. I’m not saying she is fire just to hype her up and give her some clout.
The Regrettes rock. With heavy guitar and strong vocals muddled with a vulnerability that feels like it’s being performed at someone’s basement show, their debut on the Firefly stage is not to be missed.

Dominic Fike Was Signed To A Record Label Before Releasing Any Music​

​The young man who everybody has been saying is like a mixture between Jack Johnson and the attitude of Lil Pump. Branded with the Apple logo where a teardrop would usually be inked, the Florida-bred artist exudes originality and boyish charisma. Apple is a forward moving industry, I think I see what he's doing here. Not sure how this is possible, but Fike has found a way to get a record deal without even having music released.

Indie Artists That Broke Out in 2019
What new faces from the rock and alt worlds will populate 2019's year-end charts and best-of lists? We're making our predictions, and we truly believe you'll agree. Last year, Billboard tried their best and they actually did hit spot on with a few emerging bands and artists, that now appear to be sticking around for the long haul. Props to Billboard. What we love most about indie-rock is the goofiness and self-expression all the artists share in common...which is the only thing they share in common. Across alternative, punk, indie, folk, and beyond, here are 17 sure bets and deep cut candidates to level up significantly this year.

There is nothing better than finding the perfect horror film that has the entire room on the edge of their seats. Sometimes the movie doesn’t even have to be “terrifying” just cheesy and strange enough to share some awkward laughs.

Instead, you may be looking for something to watch that’s a little bit more obscure or you just haven’t seen. Here’s a list of some of the best hidden gems in horror.
