Sports Team, All Time Low & Lady Gaga Lock Horns For U.K. Albums Chart Title
English indie-pop outfit Sports Team and U.S. alternative rock veterans All Time Low are in a tight battle for this week’s No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart.

Set to debut with ESPN’s latest 30 For 30, Be Water, which is centered around the life of the GOAT martial arts master, Bruce Lee, “Be Like Water” is the RZA’s first dolo cut he’s dropped since he was getting his Bobby Digital on more than a decade ago. Okay, maybe not that long, but it’s been a hot minute and it took the essence of a martial arts legend to get him back in t...

Twitch Streamers Face Permabans After String of New DMCA Strikes
Both the video game and music communities were put on alert yesterday after it was discovered that a large number of DMCA takedown requests were filed against a multitude of Twitch streamers.

While it appears as though almost every genre is included, Dexerto is reporting t...
