Crimson Riot

Song: “Mold Age”
Album: Third Time’s A Charm
Release Date: March 20, 2026
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Why I like it: This track hits all the right pop-punk “beats” – the feeling of growing up but wanting to hang onto youth, the partying, and the nostalgia. The intro guitar riff is also very similar to blink-182’s intro for “Dumpweed”, so right from the start, “Mold Age” sounds like an old familiar friend.
