NOFX to Break Up in 2023
Fat Mike has announced that NOFX will break up in 2023. In the comments of an August 31st Instagram post, the singer and bassist said “next year will be our last year.” While NOFX have yet to produce an official breakup announcement, Fat Mike (born Michael Burkett) felt confident enough in their plans that he essentially revealed the news unprompted. A fan commented on an unrelated Instagram post about the hardcore band not coming to Canada enough while on tour, and Fat Mike responded, “Actually, We love Canada, it’s just that next year will be our last year. We will be announcing our final shows soon. It’s been an amazing run….” Once fans picked up on the news, another user asked if NOFX would play in Los Angeles before breaking up. To that comment, Fat Mike responded, “Los Angeles will b...
Florida Georgia Line Play Final Show Following Inner-Band Feud Over Trump
After announcing a hiatus earlier this year, country duo Florida Georgia Line played their last show together at the Minnesota State Fair on Thursday (August 31st). Tyler Hubbard confirmed he and Brian Kelley were “taking a break” in February, but breakup rumors have followed Florida Georgia Line since 2020, when the artists had a rather public disagreement regarding the election. While Hubbard had been a vocal critic of President Trump, and his wife, Hayley, posted her support of Vice President Kamala Harris, Kelley swung in the other direction, hinting at his support of the outgoing president. Eventually, Hubbard and his wife unfollowed Kelley on Instagram altogether, with Hubbard confirming that he simply didn’t want to see Kelley’s posts about Trump. “I unfollowed BK for a few days whi...

Ali Gatie Talks New Album, Collaborating With Kehlani & More
Ali Gatie is fresh off the release of his new album, Who Hurt You?, and ahead of embarking on tour to support his new music, he sat down with Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly to talk creativity, his collaboration with Kehlani and more. “There’s always that pressure of trying to beat yourself,” he said of making music after having two hits — “It’s You” and “What If I Told You That I Love You” on the Billboard Hot 100. “Sometimes, it’s numbers-wise but also creative-wise. ‘It’s You’ is one of my favorite songs, and there’s times in the studio where you’re trying to beat that song, but that’s always the wrong mentality. It clouds your judgement. I try to write songs without worrying about how it’s going to do numbers-wise. I write it from my heart. The fans choose the hits, and the universe...
Viral Hip-Hop Artist YNG Martyr Signs With Warner Music, Unleashes ‘It Happened’

Avril Lavigne Honored With Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: ‘What an Amazing 20 Years’
Avril Lavigne received her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of her debut album Let Go. During the ceremony, the pop-punk pioneer reflected on her very first trip to Los Angeles at 16, and the first time she ever saw the famous star-lined path.

If you’ve scrolled through your For You Page recently, there’s no doubt you’ve heard her viral bops in the backdrop.

Kendrick Lamar Releases Short Film for “We Cry Together” Featuring Taylour Paige
It’s been nearly four months since Kendrick Lamar released his fifth studio album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, and of the 19 songs that are listed on the record, one of the most talked about is “We Cry Together.” The tune — which features Taylour Paige — essentially portrays a verbal argument between a couple in an abusive relationship, and it’s sparked plenty of conversation given the candid topics that are covered as well as the number of cuss words in the lyrics that make it impossible to make a clean version. In the midst of Lamar’s The Big Steppers Tour, the pgLang artist has released a six-minute short film to accompany the track, and it’s quite the cinematic experience. Lamar and Paige are staged inside a house-inspired set and each act out their roles by jawing at each other ...
