Mandy Moore Is Ringing the Christmas Bells With Two-Pack Holiday Single: Stream It Now
“The holidays are certainly going to feel verifiably different this year and in this vein, I challenged myself (and Mike and Taylor) to write a song that hinted at the acknowledgment of something missing without being too specific,” Moore says in a statement. “Because if we’ve learned anything in this season of change, it’s the recognition that those we love and cherish are what’s most important and worth celebrating,” she continues. “And that felt like a message to get behind during this special time of year.” Moore’s new batch of tracks follow the release in March of Silver Landings (Verve Forecast), her first album release since 2009’s Amanda Leigh. Like so many other artists, Moore’s 2020 north American tour in support of the album – her first in 13 years – was postponed du...

MR. BUNGLE Releases Music Video For ‘Sudden Death’
MR. BUNGLE, which recently released its first album in over two decades, “The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo”, has partnered with acclaimed director Derek Cianfrance (“The Place Beyond The Pines”, “Blue Valentine”) for the band’s “Sudden Death” video. The clip debuted this morning via Movieweb and can now be seen below. Cianfrance said: “If you lived in Lakewood, Colorado, during the early 1990s, there’s a slim chance you would have seen and heard a 16 -year-old boy driving slowly around town in a white, 1974 Mustang II, with his windows rolled down, disrupting the neighborhood by blaring the music of MR. BUNGLE. That 16-year-old kid was me, and that music that I listened to, over and over and over again, set the bar ...
Former ILL NIÑO Members Have Completed Recording Debut Album From New Project
Former ILL NIÑO members Cristian Machado (vocals), Ahrue “Luster” Ilustre (guitar) and Diego Verduzco (guitar) have finished recording the debut LP from their new project. Machado, who released his debut solo album, “Hollywood y Sycamore”, on September 25 via Chesky Records‘ sub-label Coconut Bay, discussed his renewed collaboration with Ilustre and Verduzco in a new interview with Hablas Rockas. He said (see video below): “There’s an entire album done. The album is completely done — 100 percent done. 12 songs finished. They’re not mixed or mastered. We have rough mixes. “We’re all trying not to talk too much about it, just because until we can put out the album, should we really talk too much about it? I don’t know,” ...
Spectre Of Devastation – WARFECT
RATING: 8/10 It’s probably a coincidence, but let’s go with it: just as thrash metal flourished amid the Cold War paranoia of the Reagan era, so 2020’s innumerable horrors seem to have pushed the genre to fresh heights. WARFECT have been snarling and slashing their way through underground territory for over a decade now, but this sounds like just the kind of unequivocal elbow to the eyeball that the Swedes need to establish themselves as a major force. Just as recent albums by the likes of SHRAPNEL, ORMSKRIK and HOLYCIDE have bolstered the notion of yet another thrash renaissance, so “Spectre of Devastation” violently bridges the divide between old-school ethos and new school sonics, with aggression and melody shoved to the forefront with equal fortitude. Put ...
JUDAS PRIEST Will ‘Definitely’ Throw ‘Some Kind Of A Party’ To Celebrate 30th Anniversary Of ‘Painkiller’, Says ROB HALFORD
In a new interview with the “Jeremy White Podcast”, Rob Halford was asked if there are any plans for JUDAS PRIEST to release a special deluxe edition of the “Painkiller” album to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. The singer responded (see video below): “We’re looking at all the opportunities. I’ll tell you, these kind of things [album anniversaries] creep up on you… But ‘Painkiller’ is a very special album to PRIEST and to the metal world for everything that it stands for and still gives to people. And we’re aware of that. So we as a band and management and the label, we’re always looking at opportunities to celebrate these milestones. And so we just direct everybody to the main PRIEST account on Instagram and Facebo...
Tame Impala Cover Nelly Furtado’s “Say It Right”: Watch
Like ice cream and french fries or cheddar cheese and apple pie, Kevin Parker and Timbaland are an unexpectedly satisfying combination. This was evident on today’s episode of BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac Show, when Tame Impala covered the Timba-jam “Say It Right” by Nelly Furtado. The song dates back to the year of our Timba-lord 2006, when the producer born Timothy Mosley had transitioned from Missy Elliot’s secret weapon to the greatest force in pop music on the planet. His incredible 2006 run included the spaced-out drama of Justin Timberlake’s FutureSex/LoveSounds as well as Furtado’s chart-topper Loose. “Say It Right” was the third No. 1 single from Loose, and while “Maneater” and “Promiscuous” have great beats to their credit, there’s little wonder that ...
For The Rolling Stones’ 60th Anniversary, Keith Richards Says “The Plans Are to Still Actually All Be Alive”
In a recent interview, Keith Richards was asked how The Rolling Stones intended to celebrate their 60th anniversary in 2022. The legendary guitarist had given it some thought, and he bluntly puts it, “Well, the plans are to still actually all be alive.” Perhaps fans would have preferred to learn about new albums, new tours, and other grand adventures. But Richards’ “plans” seems quite sensible. Never mind the fact that he himself is 76, Mick Jagger is 77, Ronnie Wood is 73, and Charlie Watts is 79. In times like these, are any of us really aiming much higher than “be alive?” Richards acknowledged as much when he told GQ, “First off, I’m going to get through this year and see how we handle next year. Because I think at the moment, there are more problems than a Rolling Stones celebrati...
“No Drama” CMA Awards Instantly Torn Apart by Drama
“No drama, just music.” Was that too much to ask? For its 54th annual awards extravaganza, the Country Music Association only wanted to ignore our tense elections, pretend the coronavirus doesn’t exist, and shove their fingers in their ears while yelling “la la la” whenever the real world interfered. They predicted the November 11th ceremony would have “no drama.” They were wrong. Via Stereogum and Vulture, the CMAs tweeted those fateful words on November 4th as part of a campaign advertising the “Top Reasons to Watch”. In big, bold letters, they listed No. 7 as “No drama, just music.” The ad explained, “It’s been a year, y’all. But for three hours next Wednesday on ABC, this is a no-drama zone.” And lo, the drama began. Americana-country singer Margo Price slammed the tweet, pointing...
Top 10 Miley Cyrus Rock and Roll Covers
At the 2019 iHeart Radio music festival, Miley Cyrus had some surprising words about her biggest hits. After ploughing through “We Can’t Stop” and “Slide Away”, she took a moment to level with the audience. “You know, I sing songs like ‘Can’t Stop’ for you,” she said with a smile. “But then, I sing a couple songs for me.” She then launched clear into outer space for a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb”. The message was clear: The favored child of a country superstar, groomed from a young age to be the perfect pop princess, had grown disenchanted with some of her old music. It had happened before. She tried to leave her Hannah Montana days behind her with 2010’s Can’t Be Tamed. As she transitioned away from her squeaky-clean image, she found herself hounded by pearl-clutching par...
Southern Discomfort: Waka Flocka’s Instagram Page Disappears After Flaming T.I. Over Street Politics
Source: Robert Kamau / Getty It looks like T.I. and Waka Flocka are experiencing some difficulties and it may be the reason why the “Groves St. Party” rapper no longer has an Instagram page. HotNewHipHop reports that the profile disappeared shortly after responding to T.I.’s posts addressing violence occurring in their hometown. “Atlanta is a beautiful progressive city filled with black excellence,” the “Family Hustle” star wrote on Instagram. “We uplift each other & win together. Stop coming here to kill each other. That shit is played out.” The post was accompanied by the following caption: “Handle YOUR beefs in YOUR city. Thx in advance.” Fans immediately suspected the post was in response to the fatal shooting of King Von, who died over the weekend after beefing with lo...
