Warish, the punk trio led by Riley Hawk, are set to release the new album Next to Pay on April 30th. The band is premiering the LP’s latest single, “Seeing Red”, right here at Heavy Consequence.

Riley delivers spooky vocals over the hard-dr...
Twisted Metal TV Series from Deadpool and Zombieland Writers on the Way
The Twisted Metal video game franchise is being adapted into a live-action TV series by Deadpool and Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, according to Variety. Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions are developing the show, which is described as an action comedy. The first Twisted Metal game came out in 1995 and the most recent one was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2012. The gameplay centered on the Twisted Metal demolition derby, where a number of drivers battle it out with missiles and machine guns until only one car remains. The winner is granted a wish by the game’s host, the demonic Calypso, who would typically twist the victor’s desire in dark irony. Serializing the bombastic blow-em-up for the screen will be Michael Jonathan Smith, who most re...
Dinosaur Jr. Share New Single ‘I Ran Away’ Ahead of New Album
A few days after celebrating the 30th anniversary of Green Mind, Dinosaur Jr. are back with a new single, “I Ran Away.” The song comes from their forthcoming Sweep It Into Space album. The new LP arrives on April 23 on Jagjaguwar and is the lineup’s first new collection since 2016’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not.

I was listening to a lot of Thin Lizzy, so I was trying to get some of that dueling twin-lead ...

Trump Supporter Kodak Black Got Engaged To Mellow Rackz
Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Kodak Black’s only been home a second (thanks to his klansman, allegedly, probably, Donald Trump) and already the man done went and got himself a fiancé.

Aside from Rackz confirming their new engagement on Instagram, Kodak’s attorney also let ...
