THE SWORD Releases Sludgy Cover Of RUSH’s ‘Working Man’
Texan riff masters THE SWORD have released the third and final installment of their three-song mini-series — “Conquest Of Quarantine” lockdown session — a bone-rattling cover of the RUSH classic “Working Man”. THE SWORD bassist Bryan Richie comments: “In the early 2000s, we were given a CD by one of Kyle‘s record store buddies, with SLUSH scrawled across it, and little did we know what a wild ride awaited us. This dude had taken his favorite RUSH songs and dropped the pitch control on his record player as low as it would go — taking these classic RUSH tracks and turning them into a C-standard sludge fest with the most air drumable drums!! Does it doom? Heck yes, it does. Enjoy our cover of the classic RUSH track ‘Working Man’ with a SLUSH-y s...
Watch the Rolling Stones’ New ‘Scarlet’ Video Starring Paul Mescal
After sharing “Scarlet” a couple weeks ago, the Rolling Stones have now issued a visual for the previously unreleased 1974 track. Directed by the filmmaking duo Us, the socially distanced shoot took place at the iconic Claridge’s hotel in London. “Scarlet” stars Paul Mescal, who’s just been nominated for his role in the Hulu series Normal People. Throughout the clip, he roams around his building – dancing, jumping, smoking, and singing. Before the premiere, the actor talked with Mick Jagger about the shoot — his first appearance in a music video. “It’s nuts,” he told the singer. “It’s so exciting for me.” The song features Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page on guitar (alongside Keith Richards) and Blind Faith/Family’...
Roger Waters Revives Two Deep Cuts From Pink Floyd’s The Wall
Roger Waters continues his series of socially distant performances with two deep cuts from Pink Floyd’s 1979 LP, The Wall: “Vera” and “Bring the Boys Back Home.” “The Vera in question is Vera Lynn. She was an English singer, songwriter, very popular during the Second World War,” Waters said in a statement. “Her biggest hit was “We’ll meet again”. She was widely known as the “Forces’ Sweetheart”. Our Vera, who is very fondly remembered back in Blighty, died six weeks ago aged 103. So she had a bloody good innings, bless her.” The performance transitions from “Vera” into a grand orchestral rendition of “Bring the Boys Back Home.” The latter features the smooth and seamless harmonies of Lucius̵...
Bad Religion Unveil New Symphonic Version of Against the Grain’s “Faith Alone”
The punk legends in Bad Religion released a new, symphonic take on one of their classic tracks. Rather than the traditional combination of two guitars, a bass, and drums backing Greg Graffin’s vocals, the iconic singer is alone with a piano for the beginning of “Faith Alone” (originally on 1990’s Against the Grain) before being joined by strings. Considering the track’s chorus of “faith alone won’t sustain us anymore,” the 30-year-old tune is prophetically appropriate to revamp for the chaos that 2020 has brought — and it even makes use of appropriate social distancing as Graffin, Bad Religion co-mastermind Brett Gurewitz, drummer Jamie Miller, one-man orchestra Stevie Blacke (Beck, Lady Gaga, Garbage), and producer Carlos de la Garza recorded the entire...

Hear Prince’s Previously Unreleased ‘Cosmic Day’
The Prince Estate released another sonic gem from the vault and have just shared “Cosmic Day.” The previously unreleased song was recorded on November 15, 1986, at Sunset Sound, Studio 3, with engineers Susan Rogers and Coke Johnson. “While the song had floated among ardent collectors as a small snippet, the full version reveals Prince at his most psychedelic,” said a statement regarding the release. “From the race car ignition sounding intro to the screaming guitar finale, Prince sings about Mermen in the sky and flying in the deep sea.” “Cosmic Day” follows the release of “Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 1)” in June and the 1979 version of “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man,” which dropped in last month.
