PISSING RAZORS Team Up With SKINLAB’s STEEV ESQUIVEL For Cover Of NAILBOMB’s ‘Wasting Away’
Texas metallers PISSING RAZORS have returned with their latest single and video, “Wasting Away” — a blistering interpretation of the NAILBOMB classic, featuring SKINLAB frontman Steev Esquivel on vocals. Clocking in at just under three minutes, the track is a continuation of the group’s raucous experimentation across the landscape of thrash, punk and metal. Crushing guest vocals courtesy of Esquivel are supported by angular, mean-sounding guitars from Mat Lynch — underscored by an explosive performance from rhythm section monsters Geo Gomez (bass) and Eddy Garcia (drums) that hurtles the song forward at breakneck speed. Joe Rodriguez steps up to the plate as the frontman PISSING RAZORS fans have been waiting for; equal parts pissed off lunatic and menacing vocalist able t...

DAVE MUSTAINE Mourns Loss Of ALEXI LAIHO: ‘Now The Heaven Heavy Metal Band Has Its Lead Guitar Player’
Dave Mustaine has paid tribute to former CHILDREN OF BODOM frontman Alexi Laiho, who died last month at the age of only 41. During the January 7 episode of his Gimme Radio program “The Dave Mustaine Show”, the MEGADETH leader said (hear audio below): “We had a tragic loss last week with my friend, and I’m sure a lot of your friend loss also. I’m sure a lot of you were friends with this gentleman too — Alexi Laiho from CHILDREN OF BODOM passed away. They didn’t really have anything to say about how he passed away other than he’d been battling some long-term illnesses. I knew him as a very gentle spirit with an amazing talent. In fact, when I was doing the ‘Symphony Interrupted’ performance [with the San Diego Symphony in April 2014], I w...

JoJo Siwa Opens Up About Her Personal Life: ‘I’m Really, Really Happy’
Later on in her live session, she added, “It’s been 48 hours of the world knowing. It’s been the best 48 hours.” Siwa took a moment to give a thoughtful answer to a follower’s question of “What label are you?” “The reason why I’m not ready to say this answer is because I don’t really know this answer,” she candidly said. “I think humans are awesome. I think humans are really incredible people. Right now, I’m super duper happy and I, you know, want to share everything with the world, I really do, but I also want to keep things in my life private until they are ready to be public.” “Right now what matters is that you guys know that no matter who you love, that it’s OK.

Richie Hawtin’s PLAYdifferently Manufacturer Releases MODEL 1.4 DJ Mixer
Four years ago, Richie Hawtin‘s instrument manufacturer, PLAYdifferently, released the MODEL 1 DJ mixer, seeking to change the way a standard mixer functions. “With MODEL 1, we set out to build a new breed of DJ mixer, more akin to an instrument, with levels of control and quality that inspired creativity,” Hawtin said.

Round 2: Tiësto Taps Ty Dolla $ign for Stunning “The Business Part II”
There are not many ways to level up Tiësto‘s smash hit “The Business,” but he somehow found a way. The dance music vet has tapped none other than Ty Dolla $ign to reimagine the track for 2021 and take it into the stratosphere. Akin to chocolate mousse and satin sheets, the sultry “The Business Part II” contains all the sizzling sonics of Tiësto’s original. However, Dolla $ign’s contributions cannot be understated, as he reimagines the refrain from “The Business” and injects it with his own signature R&B vocal flair. Paired with the typically heart-pumping production of Tiësto, who hasn’t lost a step whatsoever at the age of 52, the track is a bona fide must-listen for dance music fans. Considering how much ...
