LIMP BIZKIT Cancels All 2021 Dates, Promises New Music ‘Very Soon’
LIMP BIZKIT has canceled all of its previously announced live appearances for 2021. The group shared the news less than a month after scrapping more than half a dozen summer shows, explaining in a statement that it was doing so “out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of the band, crew and most of all the fans.” Earlier today (Wednesday, August 25), LIMP BIZKIT shared the following statement via Instagram Story: “To be more clear, as some promoters are a bit behind on keeping you updated. All of our scheduled performances were canceled weeks ago (yes, we are all fine, thank you). New songs will begin to leak, one after the other in rapid succession very soon. Soon thereafter, our new album will be released.” LIMP BIZKIT was scheduled to appear at s...
Halsey’s If I Can’t Have Love I Want Power Turns the Pop Artist into a Rock Star
In 2019, Halsey released the fiery “Nightmare,” an urgent, industrial anthem that aptly captured the universal “female rage” amplified by the patriarchal doom of the Trump era. The song, a stark departure from her pop-centric releases in the past, was noticeably left off of their third album Manic. The track, however, was never written off by Halsey; instead, the defiant, standalone single laid the foundation for If I Can’t Have Love I Want Power, the singer’s new concept album that tackles “the joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth.” The unwavering hope of parenthood loomed large on Halsey’s last record Manic, as she marked their uphill battle conceiving with a love song to their future child. “When you decide it’s your time to arrive, I’ve loved you for all of my life,” they sang ...

Moneybagg Yo Scores First R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay No. 1 With ‘Wockesha’
Moneybagg Yo ousting Silk Sonic also gets revenge for the Memphis rapper, after his previous single “Time Today” stalled at No. 2 for two weeks behind “Door” last month. On the current list, “Time” exits the top 10 after 12 weeks in the region and dips to No. 12. With “Wockesha,” Moneybagg Yo cements his status as one of the hottest acts on R&B/hip-hop radio in the past year. After none of his first five entries on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart as a lead act reached the top 20, the rapper has scored four consecutive top 10s: “1 2 3,” featuring Blac Youngsta (No. 6), “Said Sum” (No. 5), “Time Today” and “Wockesha.” In tandem with its R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay coronation, “Wockesha” also climbs 2-1 to rule the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which measures the most-played son...
Hear Tom Morello’s Creepy New Electronic Song ‘Driving To Texas’
Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello released a new single off his upcoming album, The Atlas Underground Fire, which arrives October 15. The dreamy, yet hauntingly romantic song “Driving To Texas” features electro-rock duo Phantogram bringing a soft edge to Morello’s rock instrumentals. Sarah Barthel of Phantogram gives off Lana Del Rey vibes while singing about driving through “corridors of endless trees.” Lyrics like “I changed my state to replicate the blackness of the blood you drew,” intensifies the bond between the lovers in darkness, or possibly the half that has been brainwashed. “Don’t wake me up” Barthel repeats, her voice careening into a guitar solo. That’s the beauty of Tom Morello, regurgitating yet another new sound from his alternative rock heart. “The guitar solo...

Included in Gamescom’s first look was an interview with Laura Bailey, the actress behind one of Vanguard‘s main characters: Soviet sniper Polina Petrova. Inspired by female sharpshooters who aided Allied Forces in battle on the Eastern Front of World War II, Petrova holds a Lieutenant rank in the Red Army’s 138th Rifle Division. “What really grabbed me when I began playing Polina is that she is fearless,” Bailey said. “She has nothing left to lose, so she’s able to commit herself completely to the mission at hand.” “She was never meant to be fighting in the war,” she added. “Originally, she was assigned to b...
