About Bops and Bangers

Keeping up with pop.

Founded in 2018, Bops and Bangers is here to help you keep up with pop music and have a little fun along the way. We don’t just report on pop; we celebrate it, obsess over it, and take it seriously. Because, as Lady Gaga once said, “pop music will never be low brow.”

At the center of Bops and Bangers is The Banger Brief, our newsletter landing in your inbox three times a week with the biggest pop news, plus the perspective and insight to make sense of it all. Around here, you’ll also find new music, artist interviews, concert reviews, episodes of The Soundbite podcast, and everything else worth talking about in pop.

Independent music journalism is worth supporting.

Bops and Bangers has been independently operated since 2018, and we’re committed to keeping our music coverage free and accessible to everyone. From breaking news and new releases to concert reviews, artist interviews, and our newsletters, everything we publish is available to all readers.

If you enjoy our coverage and believe in what we’re building, consider becoming a paid subscriber for $5 a month. Paid subscriptions are completely optional, and you’ll continue to have access to everything Bops and Bangers offers whether you contribute or not.

Your support helps us continue doing what we love, invest in more original reporting, interviews, and coverage, and grow Bops and Bangers as an independent music publication.

Every contribution makes a difference, and we’re grateful to everyone who reads, shares, and supports our work.
