Broken Toe, Unbroken Spirit: ONE OK ROCK’s Taka Will Not Go Down
ONE OK ROCK has just wrapped up the Japan leg of their DETOX tour. Since releasing the namesake album this past spring, the band has been in constant motion, conquering five stops in Latin America, 15 cities in North America and seven stadium shows across Japan.This Japan tour, however, is one for the history books — not just for the band’s scale, but for its adversity. Not long after the Japanese run began, frontman and vocalist Taka fractured a toe during one of the shows. Known for their incredibly dynamic and high-energy performances, where Taka is constantly sprinting and leaping, the injury posed immense physical and technical challenges. Taka, rendered immobile, feared disappointing the fans. “After the injury, there were moments when I felt mentally unstable, almost to the point of...

‘Bring Her Back’ Is a Grief-Soaked Nightmare
Following up their viral debut Talk to Me, directors Danny and Michael Philippou return with Bring Her Back, an unrelenting, visceral exploration of maternal grief and occult horror.The A24 film centers on orphaned siblings Andy (Billy Barratt) and partially sighted Piper (Sora Wong), who are placed with foster mother Laura (Sally Hawkins) after their father’s death.

The Philippous once again display their mastery of body horror and dread, r...
