Mr. Belt & Wezol took streaming to new heights. Dutch dance music duo Mr. Belt & Wezol have taken livestreaming to new heights with their latest endeavor. You’ll understand that pun in a moment. The house music tandem have used their time in lockdown to produce a series of unique livestream events. After sets in a moving tram, a ball pit, an alpaca farm, a bowling alley, and an abandoned pier, they have now taken to the skies for a DJ set in a hot air balloon. Defying the odds of gravity, Mr. Belt & Wezol delivered a sun-kissed house set brimming with the breeziness of the very winds they glided through. They dropped a number of their own fan-favorite originals in addition to a bevy of house bops from their dance music compatriots, like Patrick Topping‘s “Forg...

OBITUARY Is Working On ‘Monster’ New Album While In Quarantine
Drummer Donald Tardy of Florida death metal veterans OBITUARY spoke to Australia’s Riff Crew about how he is dealing with the coronavirus crisis and what the touring circuit might look like post-pandemic. He said (hear audio below): “I’m basically staying away from everybody — even the band. The band has not been together [since the pandemic started]. Everyone has children — there’s a lot of children involved in this band. So we’re kind of just staying away from each other at this point. Ken‘s [Andrews, guitar] over in Orlando, which is a hundred miles away. Trevor [Peres, guitar] lives about an hour away from the studio. So we’re basically just writing riffs on our own and recording them and tucking them away, and we’re gonna begin the proce...

THE SWORD Releases Sludgy Cover Of RUSH’s ‘Working Man’
Texan riff masters THE SWORD have released the third and final installment of their three-song mini-series — “Conquest Of Quarantine” lockdown session — a bone-rattling cover of the RUSH classic “Working Man”. THE SWORD bassist Bryan Richie comments: “In the early 2000s, we were given a CD by one of Kyle‘s record store buddies, with SLUSH scrawled across it, and little did we know what a wild ride awaited us. This dude had taken his favorite RUSH songs and dropped the pitch control on his record player as low as it would go — taking these classic RUSH tracks and turning them into a C-standard sludge fest with the most air drumable drums!! Does it doom? Heck yes, it does. Enjoy our cover of the classic RUSH track ‘Working Man’ with a SLUSH-y s...
Watch the Rolling Stones’ New ‘Scarlet’ Video Starring Paul Mescal
After sharing “Scarlet” a couple weeks ago, the Rolling Stones have now issued a visual for the previously unreleased 1974 track. Directed by the filmmaking duo Us, the socially distanced shoot took place at the iconic Claridge’s hotel in London. “Scarlet” stars Paul Mescal, who’s just been nominated for his role in the Hulu series Normal People. Throughout the clip, he roams around his building – dancing, jumping, smoking, and singing. Before the premiere, the actor talked with Mick Jagger about the shoot — his first appearance in a music video. “It’s nuts,” he told the singer. “It’s so exciting for me.” The song features Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page on guitar (alongside Keith Richards) and Blind Faith/Family’...
Roger Waters Revives Two Deep Cuts From Pink Floyd’s The Wall
Roger Waters continues his series of socially distant performances with two deep cuts from Pink Floyd’s 1979 LP, The Wall: “Vera” and “Bring the Boys Back Home.” “The Vera in question is Vera Lynn. She was an English singer, songwriter, very popular during the Second World War,” Waters said in a statement. “Her biggest hit was “We’ll meet again”. She was widely known as the “Forces’ Sweetheart”. Our Vera, who is very fondly remembered back in Blighty, died six weeks ago aged 103. So she had a bloody good innings, bless her.” The performance transitions from “Vera” into a grand orchestral rendition of “Bring the Boys Back Home.” The latter features the smooth and seamless harmonies of Lucius̵...
Bad Religion Unveil New Symphonic Version of Against the Grain’s “Faith Alone”
The punk legends in Bad Religion released a new, symphonic take on one of their classic tracks. Rather than the traditional combination of two guitars, a bass, and drums backing Greg Graffin’s vocals, the iconic singer is alone with a piano for the beginning of “Faith Alone” (originally on 1990’s Against the Grain) before being joined by strings. Considering the track’s chorus of “faith alone won’t sustain us anymore,” the 30-year-old tune is prophetically appropriate to revamp for the chaos that 2020 has brought — and it even makes use of appropriate social distancing as Graffin, Bad Religion co-mastermind Brett Gurewitz, drummer Jamie Miller, one-man orchestra Stevie Blacke (Beck, Lady Gaga, Garbage), and producer Carlos de la Garza recorded the entire...
