On the heels of the announcement of his 11th solo album “Shades”, acclaimed KING’S X guitarist, songwriter, and co-vocalist Ty Tabor has released the album’s first single, “Sister Genocide”. The dynamic, mid-tempo rocker opens with a crash, and blooms with the help of Ty‘s heavy rhythms and tasteful solos. Originally slated for a future KING’S X release, “Sister Genocide” is a heavy, driving track that lays the foundation of what “Shades” has to offer, and is just one of the many colors on Ty‘s palette on his latest solo offering.

ALICE COOPER Is Working On Two New ‘Entirely Different’ Kinds Of ‘Hard Rock Albums’
During an appearance on this past Thursday’s (January 27) episode of SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, legendary rocker Alice Cooper confirmed that he is putting together ideas for the follow-up to last year’s “Detroit Stories” LP. “I’m working on two albums right now, actually — two studio albums,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “And all I can say is that one is written — totally written — and we’ll be doing bed tracks for that one pretty soon. And then the other one is just a touch in the future, but that’s being written right now too. They’re two entirely different kinds of albums, but they’re Alice Cooper pure rock and roll albums.

Ex-SKID ROW Drummer PHIL VARONE Says SEBASTIAN BACH Is ‘In A War With Himself’
Former SKID ROW drummer Phil Varone has once again responded to ex-SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach‘s claim that Varone‘s decision to pose nude for an Playgirl is “further proof that the name ‘SKID ROW‘ has completely lost all credibility, cool, accuracy and is now devoid of all meaning in every way.” Varone, who was one of eight patients featured on the “Celebrity Rehab” spin-off series “Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew”, was featured on the cover of Playgirl more than a decade ago. The publication, which included a 16-page spread on Varone, hit newsstands in December 2010. A short time after Varone‘s appearance in Playgirl was announced, Bach took to his Twitter to write: “[This is] further proof that the name ‘SKID ROW&#...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: ljubaphoto / Getty Salute to the readers and supporters of Hip-Hop Wired! We’re back with a fresh update of our CRT FRSH (Certified Fresh) playlist and we’re opening things up differently this week.

Drake‘s four-year-old kid is seen having a ridiculously cute conversation with his dad in a new video shared on Instagram.

Apple Music Shows ‘Love’ for Joni Mitchell Too After She Asks Spotify to Remove Her Music
Following Neil Young and Joni Mitchell‘s requests to pull their music from Spotify, the streaming platform’s No. 1 competitor, Apple Music, is promoting the availability of both artists’ catalogs on its own platform — with a wink.

Action, Murder, Musical and Romance: The Afterparty Cast and Creator on the Art of Genre-Bending
Technically, The Afterparty is one show, a murder mystery in the style of Agatha Christie that tracks what happens when the celebration following a high school reunion becomes the site of tragedy for an obnoxious pop singer (Dave Franco). But it also could be said to be many different shows, as every member of the all-star cast, including Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, and Jamie Demetriou, is a suspect, and as Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) interviews them, their version of events mimics a popular genre of entertainment. Each episode thus focuses on one genre, from rom-com to action movie to musical and more, as meticulously recreated by creator Chris Miller, which he says evolved organically out of his original concept for the series.
