Limp Bizkit Are Rollin’ Out the Dance Moves in “Dad Vibes” Video: Watch
Limp Bizkit are fully embracing middle age in the just-released music video for their 2021 comeback single “Dad Vibes.” In the TikTok-inspired clip, Fred Durst and company show off their dancing “dad” moves with a carefree attitude. While the song has officially been out since September, the music video times nicely with Limp Bizkit’s upcoming “Still Sucks” Spring US tour, which kicks off on April 28th in Tampa, Florida, and runs through a May 31st show in Ontario, California. Tickets for the outing are available here. In the clip, Durst once again shows off his new “dad” look, sporting a gray wig, a horseshoe mustache, and clothes straight off the racks of Sears. Meanwhile, guitarist Wes Borland is dressed as a priest (with a surprise outfit reveal toward the end); bassist Sam Rivers is s...
Metallica’s Kirk Hammett Indulges Classical and Prog Tendencies on His Excellent Debut Solo EP Portals: Review
For a band with a such a storied career as Metallica, it is rather surprising that the longtime active members haven’t ventured off into various solo projects. That said, if we were to have wagered which member was most likely to go it alone, our best bet would’ve been Kirk Hammett. For years we’ve been hearing about the guitarist stockpiling hundreds, if not thousands of riffs on his phone. Considering Metallica’s deliberate workflow, only so many of these riffs and melodies, if any, will actually make it onto one of their records. Kirk needed an outlet, and he found it with his debut solo EP, Portals. No, this isn’t Kirk’s foray into becoming a singer-songwriter. Rather, the four-song release is entirely instrumental and contains minimal traces of heavy metal. Hammett said he took a “Aud...
Florida Votes to Punish Disney for Opposition to “Don’t Say Gay” Bill
Florida Republicans are retaliating against The Walt Disney Company for its opposition to the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by passing a new law repealing Disney World’s special district status. As reported by Deadline and The New York Times, the land surrounding Disney World has been covered by the Reedy Creek Improvement District since 1967. It allows Disney to administer its own emergency services while gaining extra control over land use and environmental issues. It’s a very business-friendly arrangement, enacted for the sole purpose of enticing the House of Mouse to build a theme park, which it finally did in 1971. That special arrangement is set to end June 1st of 2023. The Florida Senate voted to eliminate the District on Wednesday, and the House followed suit today. Gove...

Midem to Return in 2023 After City of Cannes Purchases Brand
The municipality of Cannes has officially purchased the Midem brand from RX France, according to a release from the office of Cannes mayor David Lisnard.

Justin Bieber, Dan + Shay Accused of Stealing ‘10,000 Hours’ in New Lawsuit
Justin Bieber and Dan + Shay are facing a new copyright lawsuit that claims they copied large parts of their Grammy-winning country hit “10,000 Hours” from a decades-old song.

Exclusive: Watch Swedish House Mafia Discuss Early Ambitions and 2010s EDM Boom
Thanks to Swedish House Mafia, it feels like 2010 again. Back then, electronic dance music was enjoying its heyday. And Swedish House Mafia were emblematic of the scene at the time—cohesive and tight-knit, but combustible and ready to explode. You couldn’t go to a music festival without hearing the visceral, signature sound of the trio, who dominated the circuit like Michael Jordan in Game 6. Generational anthems like “Miami 2 Ibiza” and “Don’t You Worry Child” soundtracked the EDM boom of the early 2010s, a timeframe which Swedish House Mafia conjured with their long-awaited debut album, Paradise Again. Released just days ago, the record functioned as a neurotransmitter, triggering the elusive serotonin rush that fans thought would never happen aga...
AFEM Launches First-Ever Survey to Explore Neurodiversity In Electronic Music Industry
The music industry has historically struggled to be inclusive to people who are neurodiverse. But as new information and research arise rapidly, music professionals in all sectors of the industry are broadening their horizons and understanding the importance of neurodiversity, the viewpoint that various neurological conditions are normal as opposed to being considered deficits. The Association For Electronic Music (AFEM) just launched a first-of-its-kind survey that will collect information from music industry workplaces. The data will be used to inform organizations and employees alike about what it’s like to work in the electronic music industry with a neurodiverse condition as well as employ people that have one.

Flux Pavilion Taps Into His Roots for Cinematic Dubstep Banger, “Lore”: Listen
No matter how much we grow and adapt, it’s impossible to ignore our roots. Just Flux Pavilion, whose new single harkens back to his pioneering dubstep days of yesteryear. “After a couple years of exploring the space in-between the drops, I woke up one morning with a distinct feeling in my heart that I needed to write a f***ing banger,” said Pavilion, whose new single “Lore” dropped today. “So I’ve done exactly that.” He also said the track lays the foundation for the concept of the “Fluxiverse,” a fictional universe developed by his team over the last four years. Its mystical themes are conveyed by his new song’s eerie spoken-word segment, a soliloquy that serenades us to its eventual climax. “The elder gods...
