Sammy Hagar and his CIRCLE bandmates have once teamed up via the Internet to record music.

REPENTANCE Feat. STUCK MOJO, Ex-SOIL Members: ‘God For A Day’ Music Video
Metal band REPENTANCE has released the official music video for “God For A Day”, the title track of its debut album, due out September 25 via Art is War Records/Intercept Music. REPENTANCE came together in 2018 when Shaun Glass, a veteran guitarist of SOIL, BROKEN HOPE and DIRGE WITHIN, recruited Mike Sylvester on bass and began songwriting with lead guitarist Markus Johansson of the group THEM. Robb Rivera of NONPOINT introduced STUCK MOJO frontman Robby J. Fonts and from there… REPENTANCE was born. “It came together very naturally, which was a very cleansing experience,” states Glass. “At this point in my life, I was hoping to start working and creating new music with an almost entirely new group of people and this crew organically locked into place.&#...
TRIUMPH’s RIK EMMETT On Bands Who Use Backing Tracks During Live Performances: ‘We Live In A Different World Now’
Guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett of the legendary Canadian power trio TRIUMPH has weighed in on bands who rely heavily on pre-recorded tracks during their live performances. In recent years, more and more artists have been given a pass for using backing tracks, drum triggers and other assorted technology that makes concerts more synthetic but also more consistent. Speaking to The Metal Gods Meltdown about some rock acts’ reliance on pre-recorded tracks, Rik said (hear audio below): “We don’t live in the world that I grew up in; we live in a different world now. And certainly the whole advent of a digital universe has now firmly taken hold so that the idea of playing along with machines… “When I was a kid, it was really hard to find a drummer who could play in time and ...
IDLES Team With Michel Gondry for ‘Model Village’ Video
IDLES and Michel Gondry? You better believe it. Gondry, in case you forgot, has directed both videos (Daft Punk, Radiohead, The White Stripes) and films (including the mind-bending, Oscar-winning Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). So it’s fitting that he’d team up with the British rockers to produce a surreal clip for their latest single, “Model Village.” The dance-punk tune tackles small-town thinking. “I hated growing up in a city that was really a town that was really a fishbowl. I left as soon as I could, only to realize the fishbowl didn’t exist…just the fish, and they’re everywhere,” IDLES singer Joe Talbot said in a statement. “Michel’s work is handmade and it’s human and that’s something that our society pushes agains...
