Celebrating his inclusion in Vevo’s 2021 “DSCVR Artists To Watch” list, Surf delivered a poignant performance.

It serves as a refreshing glimpse into the artistry of an overnight sensation, and one that clearly represents a gifted outlier in comparison to his countless counterpart...
MANOWAR’s JOEY DEMAIO: Why I Decided To Launch ‘Words Of Power’ Podcast
MANOWAR bassist Joey DeMaio has launched a new podcast and blog called “Words Of Power”. The first episode, which can be streamed below, features and interview DeMaio gave to Kevin P. McAuliffe, “a multi-talented world-famous video editor from Toronto, Canada” who is working with MANOWAR on the band’s upcoming Blu-ray and DVD. Regarding his reasons for starting a podcast, DeMaio said: “A lot of my family and friends and business partners have always encouraged me to do something like this.

EDDIE VAN HALEN’s Wife JANIE Says She Will Start Therapy ‘For The Emotional Support And Help’ She Needs
Eddie Van Halen‘s wife Janie Van Halen (née Liszewski) says that she will “finally” begin a therapy regimen to provide her with the “emotional support and help” she needs. Earlier today, Janie tweeted: “Sometimes the person perceived as the strongest is actually the weakest. Broken & lost but finally starting therapy today for the emotional support & help I need. #notashamed #toomuchfortoolong #sufferinginsilence #husband #cancersux #brother #addictionsux #stepdad #dad”. Eddie died on October 6 at the age of 65. The legendary VAN HALEN guitarist passed away at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California. Janie was by his side, along with his son, Wolfgang, and Alex, Eddie‘s brother and VAN HALEN drummer. The following day, J...
Hiding From The World – COMMUNIC
Well-respected in prog metal circles but largely under the mainstream radar, despite tenures on a couple of big labels, COMMUNIC have been one of Norway’s best-kept secrets for a long time. As with the band’s previous five albums, “Hiding From The World” sits squarely in that sweet spot between old-school prog metal and something darker and nastier, with guitar tones that crush and epic heavy metal overtones that occasionally edge towards doom. In truth, COMMUNIC are almost prog by default: these are bombastic, heavy metal songs at heart, and the band’s inventiveness manifests itself primarily in lengthy song structures, rather than anything more groundbreaking. But the truth is that they do this stuff so well that every last riff, refrain and masterful detour...
Marine Snow – NOVARUPTA
Named after an Alaskan volcano (I looked it up!), NOVARUPTA are that rare beast: a post-metal project worthy of the genre tag. “Marine Snow” builds on the enigmatic, genre-blurring splurge of last year’s “Disillusioned Fire”, with another flurry of intriguing and impactful vocal cameos from an assortment of underground luminaries. But it’s founder and mastermind Alex Stjernfeldt‘s unique approach to slow-paced riffing and atmospheric textures that sets this apart from the overall post-everything population. Opener “Broken Blue Cascades” (featuring A STORM OF LIGHT‘s Josh Graham) fades in with unnerving grace, before ebb and flowing around a core of industrial dub and hazy, post-rock churn. “Every Shade of Water” is a m...
Lenny Kravitz on New Memoir, Changing Musical Directions, Eddie Van Halen
There is so much to learn about Lenny Kravitz in his revelatory new memoir, Let Love Rule. One fascinating tidbit is how, with youthful wisdom, he purchased property in the very location where his beloved mom, late stage and screen actress Roxie Roker, grew up in the Bahamas. “It’s where my grandfather and mother are from,” he tells SPIN. “I’ve been coming here my whole life, so it’s always felt like home. And I have deep roots here.” And it’s on that very land where he presently resides, having left his city home in Paris for the Islands right before COVID-19 hit. He’s staying busy making new music likely inspired by his tropical surroundings. “It’s wonderful to be here, and I’m very fortunate that this is where I was when everything closed down,” he explains. “I recorded my 5 album at C...
The Most Influential Artists: #19 Michael Jackson
As part of our 35th anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #19. From Gary, Indiana, here is Michael Jackson. Credit: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images It’s easy to lose sight of Michael Jackson’s artistic accomplishments, given the sheer scale of his commercial success. Just as Star Wars did for film and Harry Potter did for publishing, Thriller changed its industry in a million ways, expanding the possibilities of how many people could buy an album and how much money could be made from music. But the singer’s raw talent and showmanship, the craft he honed since childhood, provided the spark that ignited everything else. In the Jackson 5 and on his early solo albums, Michael Jackson was a prodigy with an infectious ebullience in his v...

Megan Fox Says Her Connection With Machine Gun Kelly Is of ‘Mythic Proportions’
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox found love in quarantine, and have been inseparable ever since. In a new interview with Nylon, the couple discussed their undeniable bond. “Love is not what’s being encouraged now. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite: Everything now is isolation, dehumanization, separation,” MGK said of how his relationship affected his softer, more romantic mindset in recent months. “And f—, dude, you have in your head that you’re this rock star, with multiple women and all that… So finding someone that can take you out of the fast lane and make sure that you’re safe, because at any minute you can crash — I love that it can evolve into that.” {“nid”:”9455448″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”A Timeline of Ma...
