Code Orange have dropped a visually stunning concert film titled Back Inside The Glass, which the hardcore outfit initially premiered as a ticketed livestream event.The one-off gig went down in October of 2020, streamed live – in VR, no less – from the Preserving Underground Church in New Kensington, Pennsylvania.

Turning Red, wherein powerhouse siblings Finneas and Billie Eilish – the former appearing as part of the fictional boyband 4*Town (a tongue-in-cheek riff on *NSYNC) – take fans right back to 2002.Titled ‘Nobody Like U’, the song is an almost scarily accurate pastiche of early ‘00s pop. It starts with washed-out vocals, clicky synth beats and quasi-flamenco strumming, before bursting into a lively bop driven by bold, modulated piano chords and stacked lead vocals.Opening the intently cheesy, ultra-nostalgic track, the fictional 4*Town quintet – flanked by Eilish on backing vocals – croon: “I’ve never met nobody like you / Had friends and I’ve had buddies, it’s true / But they don’t turn my tummy the way you do.”Check out the lyric video for ‘Nobody Like U’, replete with scrapbook-esque nods to relics of ‘00s culture, below:Finneas voices the role of Jesse in Turning Red, with his “bandmates” rounded out by Robaire (as portrayed by Jordan Fisher), Aaron T (Topher Ngo), Aaron Z (Josh Levi) and Tae Young (Grayson Villanueva). The film is set for a worldwide release on March 11.
