Watch STATIC-X Perform At Wisconsin Festival Once Named ‘Herd Immunity Fest’ (Video)
STATIC-X frontman Xer0 performed without his now-trademark spiked-up hair during the band’s appearance Saturday night (July 18) outside the Q&Z Expo Center in Ringle, Wisconsin. Fan-filmed video footage of the entire concert is available below. The once-named Herd Immunity Fest faced backlash when it was first announced in late June due to its name as well as the fact that it was being staged amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers quickly renamed the event the July Mini Fest, but not before a handful of bands dropped off the bill, including NONPOINT, ROYAL BLISS, KALEIDO and BLACKTOP MOJO. July Mini Fest marked STATIC-X‘s appearance since the release of the band’s latest album, “Project Regeneration Vol. 1”, which came out on July 10. The first of two volu...
THE PRETTY RECKLESS’s TAYLOR MOMSEN On Dealing With Coronavirus Crisis: ‘I Keep Telling Everyone To Turn To Music As A Salvation’
In a new interview with “Whiplash”, the KLOS radio show hosted by Full Metal Jackie, THE PRETTY RECKLESS frontwoman Taylor Momsen was asked how the coronavirus crisis has changed her worldview in terms of the things she wants to express through music. She responded (hear audio below): “That’s a good question. I don’t know. I was so wrapped up in this record, in ‘Death By Rock And Roll’, before all this started, and we just finished the album before the lockdown. So it’s very bizarre to wrap my head around to release music and not be able to complete the circle by playing it live. So I’m not entirely sure. It’s a very scary time, it’s very unprecedented, and I’m sure it’s affected people around the world, literall...
DEE SNIDER On Death Of ‘Hair Metal’ In Early 1990s: ‘It Became Too Commercialized’
TWISTED SISTER singer Dee Snider spoke to Ultimate Guitar about how the rise of grunge in the early 1990s forced most hard rock bands off the radio and MTV, with album and tour sales plummeting. Asked what his thoughts were about NIRVANA and other grunge bands when they emerged, Dee said: “I loved them. When they first came out, it wasn’t even called grunge. And this is the thing about titles — even heavy metal, punk, hair metal, those are not titles chosen by the artists; they’re titles chosen by the writers. And usually as a negative connotation. Usually as a form of a putdown. And the artists that they called grunge, called punk, called heavy metal — they hated it. This is a fact, dude. I’m old. I know this, a fact: if you mentioned grunge to SOUNDGARDEN or PEARL...

Linkin Park Speaks Out Against Trump After ‘In the End’ Appears in Campaign Video on Twitter
Linkin Park is speaking out against Donald Trump after the president’s team tweeted a campaign advertisement featuring the band’s music without its permission.

A cease and desist has been issued,” Linkin Park tweeted Saturday.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith came together for a Red Table Talk on Friday (July 10), but the table was turned when he interviewed his wife about recent relationship rumors with singer August Alsina.

April 10, 2019 – Alsina denies his remix of Kehlani‘s “Nunya” has lyrics about Pinkett Smith. When the relationship rumors between the two sprung up last spring, he seemed to fuel the fire by dropping a remix of Kehlani’s “Nunya” track with Dom Kennedy from her 2019 EP While We Wait. The official video features his Animoji singing ...

Shamir Announces New Self-Titled Album, Premieres “I Wonder”: Stream
Despite the pandemic, Shamir is gearing up to release his second album of 2020. Following March’s Cataclysm, the indie artist is readying a self-titled record for October 2nd. According to a statement, Shamir finds the Philly-based musician swapping his R&B and pop palette for something with a little more grit. Shamir specifically looked “toward the post-hardcore ’90s for further inspiration — from Olympia, Washington cult heroes Unwound to bands of the Kill Rock Stars orbit.” The shift in musical direction may be a bit surprising to fans. But for Shamir, it’s a natural evolution and one that places him at his most centered. “I felt like it didn’t need a name [for the album], cuz it’s the record that’s most me,” Shamir says of the LP, which he also considers his most accessib...
