Disciple Records is no stranger to mega-collaborations, and the latest release on the storied dubstep label is no exception.

Black Tiger Sex Machine Drop Riveting Single “Leaders” From Forthcoming Album
Returning with their third track of the year, Black Tiger Sex Machine have joined forces with Italian-Jamaican reggae artist Alborosie for a massive single called “Leaders.” The new tune instills a sense of longing for change, and a paradigm shift in society.

Ranking Every Christopher Nolan Movie From Worst to Best
This article originally ran in 2014 and has been updated. Welcome to Dissected, where we disassemble a band’s catalog, a director’s filmography, or some other critical pop-culture collection in the abstract. It’s exact science by way of a few beers. This time, we sort through the best and worst of Hollywood’s greatest hope for original blockbuster filmmaking. I saw Memento twice in theaters. The first was due to the great reviews it was getting early on and the fact that it starred the great Guy Pearce. The second was after walking out of Pearl Harbor about 10 minutes in — just after the dogfight scene, if I recall correctly — and into the theater next door to revisit the work of a young genius named Christopher Nolan. I thought to myself, I hope this guy sticks around. And he has. In just...

Sublime’s Bud Gaugh Says He’s the Reason Travis Barker Joined Blink-182
When it comes to Travis Barker’s role in Blink-182, fans can thank Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh. At least that’s the story told by Gaugh, who sat down this week for Consequence’s Peer 2 Peer interview series with comedian Ian Karmel to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Sublime’s self-titled debut album. Barker is working on a remix album of Sublime, and when Karmel asked Gaugh about the project, the drummer opened with “a little back story on Travis.” “We were out on this SnoCore Tour as Long Beach Dub All-Stars. And we were playing with Blink-182, and this band The Aquabats from Utah,” Gaugh recalls. “And Travis was actually playing drums for The Aquabats. And Opie [Ortiz] and I were sitting there on the side of the stage watching The Aquabats play, and Travis was just ripping. It’s lik...
Taika Waititi’s Flash Gordon Adaptation Is Now a Live-Action Film
According to producer John Davis, the ever-prolific Taika Waititi’s planned animated adaptation of Flash Gordon has grown into a full blown live-action film. “Taika is writing it. It was a movie that was a huge influence on him growing up. It is one of his favorite movies,” Davis told Collider in a new interview. “He initially said to me, ‘Let’s do it animated.’ Then we got into it and started developing it and he said, ‘No, let’s do it live-action.’ I said, ‘Even better.’” Back in 2019, Waititi was first hired by Disney to “crack” the long-gestating project, which was previously attached to directors like Matthew Vaughn and Julius Avery over the years. At the time, the Thor: Ragnarok filmmaker’s take was said to be more faithful to the original source material than the cam...

ZZ TOP’s BILLY GIBBONS On DUSTY HILL: ‘I’m Just Glad He’s In A Good Spot’
ZZ TOP frontman Billy Gibbons spoke to Variety about the passing of the band’s longtime bassist Dusty Hill. On Wednesday, it was revealed that Hill died in his sleep at home in Houston of indeterminate causes. On Thursday, remaining members Gibbons and Frank Beard announced that their recently launched tour would resume Friday, with their guitar tech of three decades Elwood Francis filling in. Gibbons said that Hill played the first two shows of the tour. “And then he requested dismissing himself,” Billy recalled. “He said, ‘Yeah, let me go check this out.’ And of course I said, ‘Hey, man, health is number one. Go do your thing.’ And I could tell through those first two valiant attempts, if he’s not giving it 110%, he was the first one ...
