SuperM is back with the second single off their forthcoming first full-length album, Super One. The roaring “Tiger Inside” follows the release of the energetic “100” earlier this month, the first drop from the South Korean mega-group since the arrival of their eponymous EP in October 2019, which snatched the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. Back then, SuperM made waves with their boisterous debut single, “Jopping,” and the release of their first mini-album was followed by the international We Are the Future Live tour, which ended at Madison Square Garden in New York. The group is composed of seven key members from parent company SM Entertainment’s biggest groups: SHINee’s Taemin, EXO’s Baekhyun and Kai, NCT...
Source: Robert Gauthier / Getty It has happened again. Yesterday (August 31), police in Los Angeles shot and killed another Black man when he ran away from police after officers tried to stop him for a “bicycle code violation.” According to News One, 29-year-old Dijon Kizzee became the latest Black man to fall victim to trigger happy police officers from the LA Sheriff’s Department in Los Angeles. While the killing sparked protests in LA on Monday night, the LASD tried to justify the shooting by saying that Kizzee dropped a gun and ran away before “assaulting” an officer and ultimately being shot dead on the scene. Even as he laid there lifeless on the pavement, police proceeded to handcuff Kizzee’s hands behind his back because, well, y’all know. This is #DijonKizzee, 29 yrs old and shot ...

RATING: 8/10 If we can’t continue to celebrate and hail the ageless power and glory of BLACK SABBATH‘s debut album, then what exactly is the point of being alive? Cynics may roll their eyes at the notion of Zakk Wylde, Blasko and Joey Castillo joining forces again under the ZAKK SABBATH moniker, simply to re-record “Black Sabbath” in its epoch-shattering entirety, but cynics can fuck off. Tony Iommi aside, no guitarist has spent as many years steeped in SABBATH-ian tradition as the BLACK LABEL SOCIETY man, and while Wylde‘s soloing idiosyncrasies may never be to everyone’s tastes, diehard fans will at least approach “Vertigo” knowing that this interpretation has been overseen by someone who truly loves and appreciates the cherished source mat...

MAN ON MAN, the project featuring FAITH NO MORE keyboardist Roddy Bottum and his boyfriend Joey Holman, has just released the official music video for its second single, “Baby, You’re My Everything”. MAN ON MAN stares down homophobia, ageism and xenophobia and bites back with a display of queer tenderness and triumph. The heartfelt new project was built by Bottum and Holman in quarantine as a celebration of gay love. The prolific New York City-based duo’s new single is a queer hymn of devotion, underscoring the very best parts of being with a lover in quarantine. It serves a soft landing thrown from the whirring chaos of a new life sheltering in place. The accompanying video is a wander into the baptism of rainbowed fellowship. Filmed on an iPhone while sheltering i...
In a new interview with Nikki of the FM99 WNOR radio station, SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor expressed his affinity for Las Vegas, where he has resided for more than a decade. “I’ve lived here for about 11 years now,” Taylor said (see video below). “I moved here with my ex, and then when we split up, I stayed here… I would have stayed here anyway, because we have a daughter together, but at the same time, I really grew to love this place; I really love this town. When COVID’s not happening, there’s so much to do, and yet there’s so much cool stuff off the [Las Vegas] Strip as well — like all the local stuff, all the local restaurants and everything. It’s pretty rad.” Corey moved to Sin City at the start of his eight-year ...
Doctor P is back with his first single following the release of his most recent album, Animal Vegetable Mineral, Pt. 2. With his latest work, the bass music kingpin has put aside his filthy basslines, instead turning his attention toward serving up a bright and lively set of synths with his latest, “OD” alongside KOOLKID. It’s not everyday we hear Doctor P operating within the pop music framework, but “OD” is a timely reminder the “Big Boss” producer has an affinity for keeping listeners guessing. Subdued sonic textures gently usher in KOOLKID’s verse as a progression of 8-bit style leads begins to emerge. Doctor P has made video game-inspired sonics his calling card in years past, and he’s tailored the signature style ...
Jean-Claude Van Damme has taken a starring role in the dance music video for “Ultrarêve,” from French electronic duo AaRON. It’s not everyday a legendary action hero arrives on the electronic music scene, but for AaRON, having the opportunity to team up with the Muscles from Brussels was nothing short of the “ultra dream.” The video builds anticipation for the reveal of the Bloodsport star, as the camera pans to show Van Damme standing in an empty lot. As the pumping bassline kicks in, the lifelong martial artist lets his swagger shine as he breaks out into a full-blown freestyle dance. The video took a full family effort as Van Damme’s son Kris and daughter Bianca both operated the camera and directed the shoot, res...
