Momma: A Modern Band With a Nostalgic Sound
There’s a revealing lyric in Momma‘s standout new song “Speeding 72” that says a lot about the members of the New York-by-way-of-Los Angeles quartet: “Meet up on a Sunday, filling up the ashtray / Nothing gets in our way, always in a new place / You can catch us around, listening to ‘Gold Soundz’.” That reference to a road trip soundtracked by a 1994 Pavement song would seem pretty on-brand from a bunch of wizened old indie heads, especially with the beloved Stephen Malkmus-led outfit about to tour this year for the first time since 2012. But for a group of musicians like Momma’s Allegra Weingarten and Etta Friedman, who were in diapers when Pavement initially broke up in 1999, it has a much deeper meaning.

That Steph Curry Stars In ‘NOPE’ Teaser Commercial
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Universal Pictures We’re still a few months away from the release of Jordan Peele’s upcoming sci-fi/horror film, NOPE, and while we patiently await to see what the horror genius has in store for the culture as it pertains to extraterrestrials, he and Steph Curry teamed up to show us how most of us would react if we ever came into the presence of an unidentified flying object. Over the weekend a new commercial spot debuted during the NBA Playoffs which starred the three-time NBA Champion shooting hoops in a ranch out in the middle of nowhere when the electricity suddenly cuts off which causes him to brick a shot off the hoop. Following the basketball rolling out of the barn, Steph doesn’t even get to take a step outside when he sees the ball quic...

MEGADETH’s KIKO LOUREIRO Names His Favorite Metal Albums Of All Time
In a recent Cameo video message requested by Jonathan Montenegro of Sobre La Dosis, MEGADETH‘s Brazilian-born guitarist Kiko Loureiro was asked to name his favorite heavy metal album of all time. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “That’s hard. When I was young, I was really into BLACK SABBATH with [Ronnie James] Dio, so ‘Heaven And Hell’, ‘Mob Rules’, ‘Live Evil’. Yeah, I would say those BLACK SABBATH [albums] with Dio. Also SCORPIONS — ‘Blackout’. What else? Man, so many. Bands like SAXON. [IRON] MAIDEN… of course ‘The Number Of The Beast’, for sure, ‘Killers’, ‘Powerslave’… And LED ZEPPELIN. So it’s hard to mention one album.” In an October 2015 interview wit...

TESLA’s FRANK HANNON Admits He ‘Denied COVID-19’s Existence For The First Year’, Says He Still Feels It In His Lungs
In a new interview with Dawn Osborne of TotalRock, TESLA guitarist Frank Hannon reflected on his COVID-19 battle, saying (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “COVID hit us last August, of last year, 2021. We all got sick with it. I have to be honest, myself, I denied its existence for the first year of it, even though it was on the news and we were hearing about it. We were very lucky for a long time and didn’t catch it. But then we all did catch it in August, and it set us back for the whole rest of the year last year, and we were all very sick from it.” Hannon went on to say that he and his bandmates are “feeling better” now, but he admitted that it “hit me hard. It felt like it aged me a little bit,” he said. “I still feel it a little bit...
DYLAN GERS, Son Of IRON MAIDEN Guitarist JANICK GERS, To Release Debut Solo Single
Dylan Gers, the son of IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers, will release his debut solo single, “Moon Rise”, on April 22. According to a press release, the track encapsulates “a sparse minimalist vibe which drags you to a place within your own head, with influences such as Nick Drake.” Dylan comments: “Writing this was an interesting task, as before I had never wrote a song, just played my guitar and I was happy. Next thing I knew, I had ‘Moon Rise’ completed. I guess I was trying to find a way to let myself be heard and that only was through music at that time.” “Moon Rise” starts with lone guitar dipped in reverb and delay and is later accompanied by Dylan‘s fragile-yet-powerful vocals which make you think and go inside your...
