From glam band to heavy groovers, back in '92 there was no sign of stopping these cowboys from hell
Did the 2010s really usher in the death of the album, or was it simply a case of artists adapting to the precarious world around them? We examine the last decade in music and weigh up what bands might have to do to thrive in music's next chapter
Early during U2's second night at Saitama Super Arena outside Tokyo Thursday (Dec. 5), the band broke with its established set list to cover Simon & Garfunkel's 1969 classic song "The Boxer" in honor of slain Japanese humanitarian Dr. Tetsu Nakamura. Nakamura was gunned down in Nangarhar province, Afghanistan the day prior after&#...
Earlier this year, gothic drone-folk queen Marissa Nadler and Stephen Brodsky, frontman of the great metal-punk gnashers Cave In and Mutoid Man, joined forces, releasing the collaborative album Droneflower. On that LP, they covered two truly great '90s songs that have absolutely nothing to do with one another: Guns N' Roses' "Estranged" and Morp...
Punk rock, goth schlock and a touch of flamboyance collided on My Chemical Romance’s era-defining breakthrough Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
In recent years, skronk-rap mastermind El-P has been plenty busy with Run The Jewels. And by now, his late-'90s work with his Company Flow crew are an established part of the indie-rap canon. But for a long time, we haven't been able to hear El-P's '00s work unless we dug out our dusty old CDs.
Rock music seemed to loosen its grip on the zeitgeist and slip out of the public's consciousness this decade – but the truth, as always, is a lot more complicated than that
Most of this year, Wayne Coyne has been teasing a collaborative record between the Flaming Lips and the LA garage-rock duo Deap Vally. That album has been officially announced today. The hybrid band is called, sensibly enough, Deap Lips; sadly, they are not doing a mashup of "Royal Jelly" and "She Don't Use Jelly" that…
It's a busy release date for Blink-182. The veteran pop-punk superstars released their new album NINE back in September, but they already have a bunch of new songs out tonight, including one with the Chainsmokers, who famously name-checked them in their #1 smash "Closer" with Halsey three years ago. The Blink x Chainsmokers collaboration is&...
Taylor Swift has waded into the Christmas music industrial complex before, but it's been a while. In 2007, a then only-sorta-famous Swift released The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection featuring six songs, two of which were Swift originals. ("Christmases When You Were Mine" and "Christmas Must Be Something More." Neither caught on.) But the Swift ...
Prosecutors in New York City hit indicted singer R. Kelly with new bribery charges Thursday that appear to be related to his 1994 marriage to a teenager.
Next year, Kevin Barnes' long-running glam-pop project of Montreal will return with UR FUN, a new album inspired by Barnes' relationship with Locate S,1’s Christina Schneider. We've already posted first single "Peace To All Freaks," and today, Barnes has shared another one.
Machine Head will hit the road in 2020 across North America on the Burn My Eyes 25th anniversary tour - with new podcast set to arrive next week
Earlier this year, Netflix released a new documentary called The Black Godfather about the life and times of music business exec Clarence Avant. Pegged to it was a new song by Pharrell called "Letter To My Godfather," which found him reuniting with his old Neptunes partner Chad Hugo for a song that was inspired by…
