Next month, The Replacements will put out a deluxe box set of their seminal album Pleased to Meet Me. To drum up support, the combustible rockers have released a new music video for “Can’t Hardly Wait” that uses original 1987 footage. This black-and-white imagery was originally intended for a video for “The Ledge”, but the band switched courses when MTV banned the song for objectionable content. Afterwards, they recycled the footage for “Alex Chilton”. Now, 33 years later, the same source material has found a new home in the visuals for “Can’t Hardly Wait”. Of course, the viewing experience is a familiar one. All three videos open with the same image of Paul Westerberg eating a sandwich in a rocking chair, and while the timing varies slightly from song to song, they all follow the sam...

According to published reports, the 21-year old star was arrested and taken into custody on Thursday (Sept 17) on one charge of the production of child pornography, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Fitzpatrick, following an FBI investigation into claims that Harris was soliciting minors for sex. As previously reported, the FBI began investigating Jeremiah “Jerry” Harris, one of the students featured in Netflix’s breakout docuseries “Cheer,” after a complaint was filed on behalf of two 14-year old boys who claimed that Harris had solicited them for sex. According to federal court records, Harris admitted to agents that he solicited and received explicit messages on Snapchat from at least 10 to...
Source: Sarah Morris / Getty Looks like we have our new She-Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to Deadline, Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany has been tapped to take on the role of Jennifer Walters a.k.a. She-Hulk for Disney+’s upcoming She-Hulk series. Joining the likes of WandaVision, Loki and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, She-Hulk will continue to expand Disney+’s Marvel Cinematic Universe which will no doubt connect to the big screen in future crossover events. Her comic book cousin, Bruce Banner was quick to welcome her into the MCU family and took to Twitter to roll out the welcome mat for his cousin. Mark Ruffalo’s iteration of Bruce Banner has already been rumored to be making an appearance in the new She-Hulk series as he’s going to be introducing the character ...
Blossoming Los Angeles-based dance music producer Curtis Lowe has dropped the curtain on his new single “Lost in You,” a beguiling electronic and pop hybrid that tugs at the heartstrings. Flanked by the aching vocals of Erika Sirola, “Lost in You” is a hypnotic deep house bop that moonlights as an ode to the desire to stay in one moment. The brooding lyrics, which focus on the motifs of love and fixation, are rooted in melancholia, but represent a beautiful contrast to Lowe’s upbeat production work. The relationship between lyrical elements and production here offer up a spellbinding dichotomy, which is further amplified by eerily graceful lines such as “I don’t want to be here when the sun creeps in again.” Lowe finished the single...
Don Diablo is veering off from his traditional future house hits to join forces with Denzel Chain and form their new ’80s-inspired group, Camp Kubrick. The new side project is a nod to the creative genius and director Stanley Kubrick and draws inspiration from the chart-toppers of their decade, including Toto, Lionel Richie, and films like Back to the Future, The Never Ending Story, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Their first single “Johnny’s Online” is the first taste as to what’s to come from this new venture. The track features signature ’80s analog synths with big drums at the forefront. Denzel Chain’s voice will have many feeling like they’re listening to Matt Healy from The 1975. It’s a bouncy, carefree track that will ...
Back in April, Ilan Bluestone, Maor Levi, and Emma Hewitt unveiled their collaborative project Elysian with their first single “Moonchild.” Today they’ve released their first EP as a trio, Water, out via Anjunabeats. Water is a perfectly executed 4-track EP that highlights the unique sound the super-trio has put together. Both Ilan Bluestone and Maor Levi show masterful production skills and attention to detail on each of the four tracks, while Emma Hewitt’s gorgeous vocals add yet another layer of intrigue to the EP. The title track, “Water,” is an excellent introduction to Elysian. Crisp synths follow Emma Hewitt’s intro, building into a high-energy, upbeat drop. “Beyond The Comfort Zone” sets a darker and broodier to...
Kygo has consistently impressed with his reworks of classic tunes. In 2015, he released his one of a kind remix of Marvin Gaye‘s “Sexual Healing,” followed by his 2019 edit of Whitney Houston‘s “Higher Love” and his rework of Tina Turner‘s “What’s Love Got To Do With It” earlier this year. Adding to his impressive catalog, the Norwegian DJ and producer has now put his own spin on Donna Summer‘s “Hot Stuff.” Kygo’s remix of “Hot Stuff” follows a similar route as his other remixes of classics, staying true to the original vocals while swapping in modern electronic elements. This remix is by far the highest energy of the bunch, kicking up the tempo to match Summer’s soulful vocals. The ...
Sebastian Bach has uploaded a video of him singing along to the RATT song “Sweet Cheater”, which originally appeared on the band’s self-titled 1983 EP. In a statement accompanying the YouTube release of the video, the former SKID ROW frontman wrote: “literally bouncing off the walls of my house let’s put on some ratt n’ roll and rock out man thank you Steven Pearcy Warren Demartini Bobby ‘The Blotz’ Blotzer Juan Croucier Rock in Peace Robbin “The King” Crosby“. This past July, Bach told Stephen Pearcy to “stop embarrassing” himself after the RATT singer came under fire for implying Americans should refrain from wearing a cloth face mask or covering in public even though it protects against the coronavirus. Bach h...
RATING: 8/10 There was a time when the notion of atmospheric black metal was a relatively novel one. These days, there seem to be a handful of releases that fit that description released every week. Atmosphere, it seems, is not necessarily the hardest thing to generate. But despite being somewhat overpopulated at this point, this peculiar subscene is still capable of hurling magical records into the ether. “Livslede” is a genuinely startling debut from a Danish band with obscene amounts of potential. It doesn’t deviate dramatically from the atmospheric black metal blueprint that we know and love (or hate), but it hits the target with disarming accuracy time and time again, delivering countless melodic highs and moments of gloriously unsettling ambient scree. After the cus...
Fifteen years after working together on the Grammy-winning, chart-topping single “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”, Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers BON JOVI and country music superstar Jennifer Nettles have reunited for a country version of the band’s newest song “Do What You Can”. The track, being released via BMLG Records, will make its live debut at this year’s iHeart Radio music festival on September 19. The official music video for the song — which was shot on the streets of New York City — can be seen below. Said Jon Bon Jovi: “In 2005, Jennifer helped BON JOVI take ‘Who Says you Can’t Go Home’ to No. 1 on the country charts. It was her powerful and emotion-filled voice that I hope will carry us back onto the country airwaves ...
