IDLES Share Hair-Raising New Single “Car Crash”: Stream
IDLES are days away from sharing their new album, CRAWLER, and the Bristol post-punks are offering another preview with the new single “Car Crash.” The slow-burning track arrives with an accompanying music video that splices together footage of collisions in cinema. As its title indicates, “Car Crash” was inspired by IDLES frontman Joe Talbot’s own brush with death behind the wheel. As he details in a press release: “It’s the horrific, comedown hangover — waking up in the morning and realizing the smashes, like, what the fuck am I doing with my life?” The track is defined by chugging, slipshod drums and abrasive guitars that stew until they explode into one chilling cacophony. “We wanted it to be as violent as possible to reflect that event,” guitarist and co-producer Mark Bowen adds. “We ...

Longtime QUIET RIOT Bassist CHUCK WRIGHT Signs With CLEOPATRA RECORDS For Debut Solo Album
QUIET RIOT‘s longtime bassist Chuck Wright has signed with Cleopatra Records for his debut solo album, “Chuck Wright’s Sheltering Sky”, to be released in early 2022. Wright has worked alongside such rock music luminaries as Alice Cooper, Greg Allman and various members of GUNS N’ ROSES and KISS to name a few, and now embarks on his first-ever solo excursion. Wright‘s first single is a hard-rocking, intense interpretation of Björk‘s 1995 hit “Army Of Me” and the accompanying video represent Wright‘s exploration into disorder and parallels with the chaotic state of world affairs. The visuals include a 3D animation of an “army” of Ruth Bader Ginsburgs, the late Supreme Court Justice, feminist icon, and steadfast advocate ...
A Day in the Life of…Neal Francis
Neal Francis has been playing the piano for as long as he can remember and always dreamed of becoming a musician. “Our first piano was in the dining room. I loved to perform for my family or anyone who would stand and watch,” he says. “My mom and dad had a huge influence on my taste. They both love music and it was playing in our house at all times.” His long-awaited sophomore album, In Plain Sight, proves to be one of the year’s best releases, with the singer/songwriter’s unique musical genre-blend inarguably addictive. In his own words, his sound is eclectic: “Soul, R&B, funk, rock, disco, psychedelia, classical: All of those in a mix. I usually tell people it’s rock ‘n roll. Glide funk.” A mesmerizing performer, he’s having such a good time, you almost overlook he’s a virtuoso on th...

AC/DC Joins Billion Views Club on YouTube – But Not With the Song You’d Expect
Hard rock trailblazers and mainstays AC/DC are one of the most enduring classic rock bands of the 20th century, so it’s no huge surprise that the Australian rockers just entered YouTube’s ‘billion views club’ (an unofficial group of artists who can boast that at least one of their music videos has crossed the one-billion views mark on the video streaming platform). But which AC/DC classic crossed the threshold into that rarified company? Well, it’s probably not the song you’d expect. While their blockbuster Back to Black album contains two top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hits in “You Shook Me All Night Long” and “Back In Black,” those aren’t the first AC/DC tracks to hit one billion views on YouTube; although they notched five...
