Jen Razavi Goes it Alone: Jen Razavi may be more commonly known as Jen Pop as local punks the Bombpops, but for this Silver Lake Lounge gig, she’s performing as a solo artist.“A household name in punk rock, they’ve released several critically-acclaimed albums, and toured all over the world with bands like Descendents, Bad Religion, The Dropkick Murphys and Bayside. But Jen’s story doesn’t stop there,” reads the venue’s website. “In fact, that’s only the start. In addition to growing up on heavy doses of pop punk and SoCal skate punk, she has also drawn inspiration from dark-pop artists like K.Flay and The Cardigans. Recently, Jen found herself writing songs that didn’t quite fit in the Bombpops universe, and knew she had more to share with the world.”“In 2022, she took a leap of faith, invested in herself, and reached out to Grammy-nominated producer Will Yip (Turnstile, Bartees Strange, Code Orange) to help bring this different side of her ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:06:51 GMT

Cardi B isn’t the only person to think that Brian Szasz probably hasn’t shown the best judgment when posting on social media about his family’s ordeal, after his British billionaire stepfather Hamish Harding went missing with four others while plunging to the depths of the North Atlantic in a van-sized submersible to explore the wreckage of Titanic.Szasz’s mother, Linda Harding, reportedly asked her San Diego-based son to remove his original “tone-deaf” Facebook post about attending Blink-182’s concert Monday night — as global attention turned to efforts to find and rescue Hamish Harding and the other passengers of the Titan submersible as their oxygen was running out.
