Deftones Unleash New Album Ohms: Stream
Deftones have unleashed their new album Ohms. Stream it below using Apple Music or Spotify. This is the hard rock band’s ninth full-length effort, and their first since 2016’s Gore. The executive producer is Terry Date, who worked with Deftones on their first four albums and the aborted Eros sessions of 2008. Ohms is ten tracks long by design. As vocalist Chino Moreno told Vulture, “We don’t… write 30 songs, then whittle it down into ten songs. We literally write ten songs.” Moreno explained that the recording process for Ohms was significantly different than Gore, in part intentionally, and in part because the pandemic allowed everyone extra time. He said, “We recorded [Gore] in Los Angeles… at the end of the day, it was like, I’m away from home. I’m not...

Young Thug and Travis Scott (photos by Philip Cosores), M.I.A. (photo by Ben Kaye) Travis Scott has unleashed his latest single “Franchise”, featuring M.I.A. and Young Thug. Check it out below via its accompanying self-directed music video/short film. The song comes hot on the heels of Scott’s smash hit McDonald’s collaboration, which has been so popular that various locations are literally running out of ingredients. “Franchise” is itself something of a branding exercise, as the short film premiered ahead of select IMAX screenings of Christopher Nolan’s Tenent on Thursday night. Scott also contributed the track “The Plan” to the film’s soundtrack, leading Nolan to call the new short film “part of a Travis/Tenet/Travis sandwich” in a note he wrote the rapper. Yet despite all the cross-prom...
Matt Maeson Calls on Lana Del Rey for New Version of ‘Hallucinogenics’
Matt Maeson‘s “Hallucinogenics” is already the ideal soundtrack for the feeling of losing touch, and now he’s added Lana Del Rey to a new rendition of the track released on Friday (Sept. 25).

The original “Hallucinogenics” is featured on Maeson’s debut album, Bank on the Funeral. Listen to the Lana Del Rey version below.

If you stayed up late to hear Tory Lanez break his silence, you’ll have been disappointed. But if you were desperate for new music from the Canadian rapper, you’re in luck.

Max Merritt, ARIA Hall of Fame Inductee, Dies at 79
Max Merritt, the ARIA Hall of Fame inductee best known for the soulful songs “Slippin’ Away” and “Hey, Western Union Man”, died Thursday (Sept. 24) in a Los Angeles hospital following a long battle with a rare illness. He was 79. Born in Christchurch, New Zealand on April 30, 1941, Merritt made his mark when he formed The Meteors in the 1950s and reeled off a string of catchy rock ‘n’ roll numbers, including “Get a Haircut,” “Kiss Curl” and “C’mon Let’s Go.” Soon, Merritt and his band outgrew Christchurch and by 1962 they’d relocated to Auckland, and later, Australia, where he earned the moniker “king of Soul”. With the Meteors, Merritt had a No. 2 hit in Australia in 1975 with the soaring ballad “Slippin’ Away” and were sig...

Look closer and you’ll find some answers. “The question is in the title, which means beware of government tricks,” the legendary hype man explains. “And the time and chaos of emergency.” When T...
Kodak Black Ask Donald Trump To Commute His Sentence
Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Prison life has led many men to do things on the inside that they wouldn’t have otherwise thought of doing while living life on the outside, so given the mental and physical abuse that Kodak Black’s been subjected to in his Kentucky institution you’d understand why the Floridian has been relegated to begging Donald Trump for help to spring him out the bing. Yes, Donald “Racist-In-Chief” Trump. TMZ is reporting that “ZEZE” rapper’s attorneys Bradford Cohen and Jonathan Schwartz, sent a petition to Donald Trump asking him to commute the sentence stating that while the average sentence for Kodak’s gun case is 18 months, Black got hit with a 46 month bid. As you know, Kodak’s locked up in a maximum-security federal prison in Kentucky, but Cohen says it’s not warr...

GENE SIMMONS Says ‘It’s Nobody’s Business’ Whom He Will Vote For In 2020 Presidential Election
Gene Simmons says “it’s nobody’s business” whom he will vote for in the November election between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. The KISS bassist/vocalist expressed his views while answering a question on Twitter from an apparent Biden supporter. Asked how he is “voting and feeling” and whether he is “on the side of democracy”, Gene responded: “Thanks for asking. It’s nobody’s business who you vote for. And you will never convince the other person of your beliefs. So, just go into the voting booth, draw the curtain and vote your conscience. And stop asking people who they’re voting for..It’s none of your business”. A little over a year ago, Simmons — who is a former contestant on Trum...
