SEBASTIAN BACH’s ‘Lip-Syncing’ Feud With CHRIS JERICHO Is Definitely Not Staged, Says Bassist ROB DELUCA
Sebastian Bach‘s longtime bassist Rob DeLuca has defended the former SKID ROW singer after he accused FOZZY‘s Chris Jericho of using pre-recorded vocal tracks during live performances. On July 16, Jericho challenged Bach to a “singoff” with “no effects, no tuning, no bullshit” in response to Sebastian‘s allegation that Chris “mimes to a tape” during FOZZY‘s live shows. “Bas is a great singer…but I’m better,” Chris wrote on Twitter.” The wrestler-turned-singer added: “I’ve never mimed anything ever! I will fucking sing in your face anytime, anyplace dude. I’ve been a fan & a defender of u since day one…but don’t u ever question my rock abilities!” Bach fired back...
TAYLOR SWIFT Called Out By IHSAHN’s Artist For ‘Very’ Similar Artwork
After Taylor Swift announced her new album “Folklore” last Thursday, many music fans pointed out the similarities between the pop superstar’s new cover artwork and the black metal community, which is closely linked to the world of folklore and dark fairy tales. Among the people who noticed “Folklore”‘s metal vibes is Ihsahn, frontman of Norwegian black metallers EMPEROR, who went as far as to share a side-by-side comparison of the Swift album cover — featuring Taylor standing in the middle of the woods in black and white — and that of “Telemark”, the solo EP he released this past February. Earlier today, Ihsahn wrote on Instagram: “So, anyone check out the new @taylorswift yet? Personally I like the design” The musician, whose rea...
Peter Frampton, Cat Stevens, Johnny Marr and More Pay Tribute to Peter Green
Peter Green died “peacefully in his sleep” over the weekend at the age of 73, and when news broke on Saturday musicians took to social media and paid tribute to the Fleetwood Mac founding guitarist, while Mick Fleetwood remembered his “dearest friend” and bandmate in a statement. “For me, and every past and present member of Fleetwood Mac, losing Peter Green is monumental!” he wrote. “Peter was the man who started the band Fleetwood Mac along with myself, John McVie, and Jeremy Spencer. No one has ever stepped into the ranks of Fleetwood Mac without a reverence for Peter Green and his talent, and to the fact that music should shine bright and always be delivered with uncompromising passion!!!” “Peter, I will miss you, but rest easy your music lives on,” he continued. “I than...
Alanis Morissette Doesn’t Think She’d Be Alive Today Without Therapy
Alanis Morissette is opening up about addiction and therapy. During a recent interview with The Guardian, the singer-songwriter called herself “such an addict,” citing “work addiction, love addiction and food addiction” as her vices and revealing she has suffered from an eating disorder since childhood. Thankfully, the ’90s icon has had a positive experience with therapy throughout the years. In fact, she credits it as a literal lifesaver. “If I didn’t have a whole team of therapists throughout my life, I don’t think I’d still be here,” she confessed. Though she’s doing well, quarantine has been tough on Morissette’s recovery. “At 3 pm, I might feel: ‘Wow, this is a huge gift, I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude.’ By 3: 15 pm, I’m raging. By 9 pm, I’m despondent. Iso...
PJ Harvey Unearths Dry Demos Album: Stream
As part of an extensive archival campaign, PJ Harvey is reissuing her entire discography on vinyl. Notably, these re-releases are also being paired with demos culled from the original album sessions. First to be spotlighted in this series is, of course, her 1992 breakthrough debut album, Dry.

The Flaming Lips Imagine “You n Me Sellin’ Weed” on New Song: Stream
The Flaming Lips are back with a new song called “You n Me Sellin’ Weed” from American Head, their upcoming 21st album. Better yet, it comes with a sun-soaked music video to brighten up your quarantine. This is the fourth single we’ve heard from American Head so far, following “Dinosaurs On The Mountain”, “Flowers Of Neptune 6”, and “My Religion Is You”. While this new track reads like it will be a giddy uptempo number about the magic of selling drugs with your partner, it begins like the opposite. Over some hazy guitar strums and mellow percussion, Wayne Coyne sings with a tinge of nostalgia about a relationship — that is, until the tempo picks up, sound effect pop in the background, and the psychedelia starts to trickle in. As with the previously released songs from the album, “You n Me ...
Napalm Death Share New Song “Backlash Just Because” Ahead of Upcoming Album: Stream
Napalm Death have shared the new song “Backlash Just Because”. It’s the lead single and first music we’ve heard from the band’s upcoming album, Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism, out September 18th. The ferocious track finds the UK extreme metal pioneers in their thrashing element. The song’s chaotic noise and grindcore absurdity is anchored by frontman Barney Greenway’s subversive lyrics. “Backlash Just Because” set the blueprint for the rest of the album’s lyrical content and the skeptical optimism of its evocative title: Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism. “This song in particular really spurred me on when I was writing lyrics for the album overall,” Greenway said during an interview on Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal. “It’s raucous and traditional, but also quirky and discordant and ...
