Boston hardcore band Haywire celebrated their signing to Roadrunner Records last weekend not just by opening up the pit at Sound and Fury fest, but by showering it with $5,000 in cash. On Wednesday, they announced their debut album on their new label, I Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye, out Oct 2nd. The first single — and official music video — “Interstate Love Affair” is out now.

The visuals kick off with the band making it rain at the festival, then launches into the kind of raucous antics inherent in early 2000s MTV videos: firecrackers, trashing hotels, sentient amps, the works. The video perfectly captures Haywire’s ethos: fun-as-fuck hardcore, pure and simply.

Since forming in 2023, Haywire has quickly become enmeshed in the hardcore scene, playing a 96-date tour across 50 states in 100 days in 2024. They’re also set to open for Turnstile and the Circle Jerks this fall, but can also be found playing under bridges for free. As of this month, they have more than 250 future shows planned.

As prolific as they are on stage as off, the band has dropped five records over the course of three years, their most recent being 2024’s Conditioned for Demolition. Their upcoming album was produced by Citizen’s Mat Kerekes and mixed by Taylor Young, and includes cameos from members of NOTHING and the Aggrolites.

What Ye’s Chicago Reunion Really Says About His Legacy

For all the mythology built around Ye (formerly Kanye West) as a singular genius, the most convincing argument for his influence has always been crowded with other people. Look closely at almost any important period of his career and somebody else is standing there: a rapper he produced for, an artist he signed, a voice he pulled unexpectedly onto a record, a peer who challenged him, a protégé who eventually became a superstar or a collaborator with whom the relationship became almost as famous as the music they made together. At Soldier Field this week, Ye managed to put an astonishing amount of that history in one place, making a compelling case that one of his greatest contributions to hip-hop might be the world he built around himself.

Blackpink’s Lisa Returns to Her Rap Roots on Solo Single ‘SaWaDiKa’

Lisa is saying “hello” to her new chapter. The rapper-singer has released her new supercharged single “SaWaDiKa,” which is a Thai greeting for “hello.”

The track finds Lisa returning to her rap roots, as she spits bars with the sharp prowess she’s known for. “I’m that bitch on your TV/In my Ferrari, indigo/La Lalisa, la diva,” she raps over sputtering drums. Produced by Thom Bridges, who has worked with Katseye and John Summit among other artists, and songwriting duo Ojivolta, the track is a thumping first look into Lisa’s forthcoming EP, Press Play, which arrives on Oct. 23 via LLOUD Co./RCA Records.

Big Sean and Kanye West Reunite After Feud With Surprise Appearance in Chicago

Big Sean made a surprise appearance at Kanye West‘s homecoming concert at Soldier Field in Chicago to perform his hit single “I Don’t Fuck With You,” a sentiment that no longer seems to apply to the relationship between the two rappers who spent the past five years locked in a quiet feud.

West and Sean publicly fell out around 2021, when Sean claimed West owed him $6 million in a since-deleted post on X. That same year, West said signing Sean to his record label G.O.O.D. Music, through which his music was released from 2007 through 2021, was “worst thing I’ve ever done” — though it can’t have been worse than the antisemitic rants and racist remarks that have derailed his career over the past few years.
