KEXP remarked how they “nail every three-part harmony and hard-stop ending with conviction,” while The Independent described their performance as “a blistering, steamrollering set from a well-drilled troupe with talent to burn.” Of a recent LA show, Consequence of Sound said, “they sounded better than they ever have.

New release: Bony Macaroni – Atlas Fugged (single)

Bony Macaroni are making self-loathing cool again. At least, they hope so. Because, after previous failed attempts at life in general, these dudes want to give a fuck again.

New single Atlas Fugged is the first new track after the release of their debut EP, and it is a highly contagious anthemlike emo/punk rock track with provocative lyrics:

“this song is about the fact that politics are inescapable. I would like for it to not be a thing at all, to not get in the way of relationships I have with some people, but it f*cking should. Over the years, I have realized I oughta get into nasty arguments with family and friends. my privileged @ss may never be a victim as a result of bad ideas, sh!tty policies, and insufferable politicians, but lots of people are. So yeah, punch your local nazi and enjoy this poppy political take by your dudes of Bony Macaroni. here’s to many more (most likely).”

THE PIANO GUYS Debut Music Video For “Avatar (The Theme)” Out Now

Of the new track and video, THE PIANO GUYS say, “Working with Disney inside the imagination that thrives in Disney World was a dream come true for us. We felt immersed in magic. And to simultaneously pay tribute to the master musician James Horner was also a humbling opportunity. Inspired by Disney’s innately limitless creativity, we included some creative elements of our own that we’ve never before attempted, including the first ever ‘bioluminescent’ cello and piano keyboard! We felt we were experiencing ‘Avatar in real life’ as we performed Mr. Horner’s theme in front of the majestic floating mountains and bathed in the light of Pandora’s bioluminescence. It was an experience unlike any other and we hope people who watch and listen feel the same spirit of boundless imagination we felt as played.”
