Spiritbox Lands at No. 1 on Top Rock Albums, Hard Rock Albums With Debut Project
Though none of Eternal Blue’s songs concurrently reach a Billboard chart dated Oct. 2, multiple songs from the LP have reached various tallies. “Circle With Me” leads the group with a No. 5 debut and peak in May, while “Holy Roller” (No. 12, Jan. 2), “Constance” (No. 19, Aug. 7) and “Hurt You” (No. 20, Sept. 4) also appeared. The band also boasted its first Billboard radio hit, “Secret Garden,” in the summer, peaking at No. 34 on Mainstream Rock Airplay (Aug. 14).

David Lee Roth Shares Music Video for New Song “Low-Rez Sunset”: Stream
David Lee Roth has released the new solo song “Low-Rez Sunset,” accompanied by a music video featuring original artwork by the Van Halen frontman. On the new song, Roth takes up an acoustic pop sound, applying his iconic voice to a laid back groove. It sounds like those classic Roth cuts on the early Van Halen albums, with a show-tunesy vibe and humorous lyrics. The fact that Diamond Dave also illustrated the video’s Flash-style animation makes the new song even more special. The track originally appeared as part of last fall’s “The Roth Project,” an online comic narrated by Roth featuring five solo songs.

Song of the Week: Kali Uchis and SZA Sizzle with “Fue Mejor”
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify Top Songs playlist. For our favorite new songs from emerging artists, check out our Spotify New Sounds playlist. This week, Kali Uchis turns up the heat with SZA’s Spanish-language debut. Steamy and dreamy: two words that have long applied to SZA’s discography, and that certainly apply to her latest collaboration with Grammy-winning Latin artist Kali Uchis. “Fue Mejor” is sad and sultry, grooving over a throbbing beat that wouldn’t sound out of place in any of SZA’s albums. The airy, whistle-toned background vocals are offset by the sound of a revving engine, grounding the fantastical atmosphere. Notably, SZA sings in Spanish alongside Kali Uchis while...
Scrubs is 20, So Pour Yourself an Appletini and Revisit 20 Iconic Music Moments
For its long (some might say too long) nine-season run on NBC, Scrubs was probably the best sitcom on television. And yet, it’s easy to forget just how influential Bill Lawrence’s goofy, absurd, heartbreaking show about the residents, staff, and patients of Sacred Heart Hospital was to the fabric of network comedy. Like Lawrence’s later show — the Internet’s current darling/core of shockingly bitter Internet discourse Ted Lasso — Scrubs worked tirelessly to thread its wacky, colorful characters and endearingly cinematic sight gags with an essential core of dramedic sentiment. You could count on Scrubs to make you laugh for twenty minutes, but in the last two before the credits, it was liable to make you cry. Much of the success of that thematic juggling act was bolstere...

HipHopWired Featured Video We knew SZA was a woman of many talents, but did y’all know she was bilingual with it too! It seems like hanging out with the Colombian cutie, Kali Uchis has rubbed off on her because in Kali’s seductive visuals to “Fue Mejor,” SZA seductively rolls through the ave while belting out a Spanish melody with impressive pronunciation. Much props, mami.

Ashanti Will Re-Record Her 2002 Debut Album Since She Now Owns Her Masters
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty R&B songstress and unofficial Ja Rule/Fat Joe Verzus MVP Ashanti has regained ownership of her masters and is now planning to re-record her 2002 self-titled debut album—a thing many music lovers had no idea artists did before now. (It’s me. I had no idea.) “I have an amazing legal team, and I got my first record deal when I was 14 years old, so understanding and seeing how things have changed so much from then to now and conceptually understanding what you’re signing is so imperative, it’s so important nowadays,” Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter said during a recent appearance on The Tamron Hall Show. “The fact that I’ll be able to re-record my first album, and put everything together.” [embedded content] ...

Dave Chappelle Dropping Another Netflix Special, ‘The Closer’ [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Lester Cohen / Courtesy of Netflix Dave Chappelle is returning to Netflix with yet another new comedy special, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Enter Dave Chappelle. Dubbed The Closer, the new stand-up special is set to stream on Netflix this October 5 and will surely give us OG Chappelle fans what we need: laughter. “Comedians have a responsibility to speak recklessly,” Dave says in the trailer. “Sometimes the funniest thing to say is mean.

Flavio Drops Stunning Glitch Hop Track “Filthy Flying Cat”
18-year-old electronic music producer Flavio has unveiled “Filthy Flying Cat,” a stunning glitch hop tune as quirky as it is electrifying. At first listen, it’s tough to believe that Flavio is still a teenager. Despite its idiosyncratic title, “Filthy Flying Cat” is rich and textured, oozing with jazz elements and nuerofunk swag. It’s a polished, refined release that points to the maturity of a novel yet innately gifted producer. Fans of Kill Paris or Slynk will really gravitate to the sound here, which layers lush synths with soaring leads to offer up a funky banger. He really dials up the energy in the final drop, where he eschews his melodic tendencies and instead opts for a frenetic drum & bass arrangement to bring the track home in adrenal...

TIM ‘RIPPER’ OWENS Says JON SCHAFFER Will ‘Pay The Price Forever’ For His Role In U.S. Capitol Riot
Former ICED EARTH singer Tim “Ripper” Owens says that Jon Schaffer will “pay the price forever” for his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Owens, who joined ICED EARTH in 2003 and stayed in the group for four years before being fired in December 2007, addressed his time with the band in a new interview with Jeff Gaudiosi of MisplacedStraws.com. Asked if he has had any contact with Schaffer in the months since the ICED EARTH leader was arrested for participating in the Capitol riot, Owens said: “I didn’t have contact [with him] before [he was arrested]. It’s funny, everybody comes out of the woodwork and said, ‘Tim‘s just like Jon,’ and blah blah blah. It’s, like, listen, he kicked me out of the band five days be...
DAVID ELLEFSON Is ‘Super Proud’ Of His Contribution To ‘Moral Hygiene’, MINISTRY’s New Album
Former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson says that he is “super proud” of his contribution to the new MINISTRY album “Moral Hygiene”. Although Ellefson‘s appearance on the LP wasn’t mentioned in any of the press releases from MINISTRY‘s record label, Nuclear Blast, leading up to the album’s arrival, Ellefson says that he is featured on two of “Moral Hygiene”‘s tracks, a cover of THE STOOGES‘ “Search And Destroy” and a song called “Believe Me”.

TESLA’s FRANK HANNON Doesn’t Know When TROY LUCCKETTA Will Return To Band: ‘He’s Taking A Break’
TESLA guitarist Frank Hannon says that he doesn’t know when drummer Troy Luccketta will return to the band. Last month, Luccketta announced that he would “take a little time from the road” to spend with family and friends. He is being temporarily replaced at TESLA‘s gigs by Steve Brown, the younger brother of former DOKKEN drummer Mick Brown. Frank discussed his longtime bandmate’s absence from TESLA‘s gigs during a September 29 appearance on SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “When we got hit with COVID super hard in August, everybody got sick, including Troy. And when we all finally got over it, I think Troy realized, ‘You know what, man? I just don’t wanna go on...
