Hey, we’re So Vain, heck yeah story time
We’ve got this song called “Homerun for Tiger” named after the fake child of a scammer who hit us up to try and get my brother to send him bank info to pay for a custom song for our number one fan, this fake man’s fake son named Tiger (as a gift for Tiger’s 5th birthday).
My brother is a real gem so he said NO I CANT TAKE YOUR MONEY, not until the song is done and we know your son loves it. The scammer begged and assured my brother, please no no it’s fine just send me your info cause he’ll love the song no matter what you are his fav band.
But my brother wouldn’t have it; he spent a month writing and making us record this thing to impress this hypothetical child, it was srs to him and he refused the money several times (direct transfer to his account supposedly once he sent his account number).
As my brother explained why this was so serious I asked to see the chat, which made me cry laughing because it was the most obvious and inconsistent scam, private account low followers randomly we are his fav band and his sons fav band (we have like 11 fans so there’s no way), his son who’s name changed from Johnny to Tiger as the chat went.
My brother sends the guy the song but the scammer won’t respond to us now as we ask to know how Tiger loves it. We hit him up every day pls pls does Tiger love it? Did we do alright? Lee the money it is an honor to play for fans (if anyone needs a bday song let us know).
The scammer eventually blocks us, but we have the song now, so nyeah, the end.
The REAL Tiger is the friends we made along the way
And that’s you’s guys, thank you.
“Painstakingly I serve the kvnt, this
Pains taking me straight to the top
I’m not asking you, I’m telling you
I want out of what we’ve got (more than what we are)
And all my fears are standing there
but I can’t face them
You’re not the only one who holds this loaded against my- *GEETARS*”

Double Exposure: Games We Play and the Grit Behind CRXSSOURHEARTS
Interview by Ken Morton - Photos by Vivian Ortega of So Finch Photography
From Warped Tour wake-up calls to bedroom-studio catharsis, Nick Lewert and Kyle Fink of Games We Play are riding a dual wave — one loud, fast, and tongue-in-cheek; the other raw, grayscale, and emotionally unfiltered. In this exclusive Highwire Daze interview at the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, the duo reflects on arena-sized moments with Fall Out Boy, the DIY roots of their side project CRXSSOURHEARTS, and the sonic shift that led them from pop-punk punchlines to somber storytelling. Whether it’s black-and-white visuals or late-night studio sessions, their creative chemistry is undeniable — and this is just the beginning.

On the Fire Escape with Moral: A Conversation with Sean Rehak
Interview by Ken Morton - Photos by Vivian Ortego of So Finch Photography
Perched on a breezy fire escape overlooking the skyline, we caught up with Sean Rehak—the creative force behind Moral—for a candid conversation about emo revival, shoegaze textures, and the emotional weight behind his rising discography. From Baltimore’s underground scene to his first headlining show at Ottobar, Sean opens up about self-sabotage, sonic nostalgia, and the thrill of chasing momentum in Los Angeles. With streaming numbers climbing and studio sessions booked, Moral is more than a solo project—it’s a growing movement of sound, sentiment, and sincerity.
