There are so many kids out there that have supported me, so I want to give them something to hold on to.” The track has been in the works for three years and began when Curry and Dot met for the fir...

Noah Weiland Releases Debut Solo EP, Says “Wish My Pops Was Here to Hear It”: Stream
Noah Weiland, the son of late Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland, has released his debut solo EP, titled Last Kiss Before Detox. The three-song effort includes his recent single, “One Day,” along with two new tracks. The last couple of years have been tumultuous for Noah, who was kicked out of the now-defunct band Suspect208, which also featured Slash’s son London Hudson on drums and Robert Trujillo’s son Tye Trujillo on bass. The other members of the group cited Noah’s “dark path of drug use” as the reason for his ouster. In an interview with iHeartRadio a couple months ago, Noah revealed that he entered rehab after parting ways with the band, but insisted that his addiction to drugs actually started after he was let go from the group. He also said, “People want to see me be a stati...

Soccer Mommy Steps Into The Void On Sometimes, Forever
By Grant Sharples From the first few moments of “With U,” cascading synth arpeggios crest an enormous wall of sound. It’s not a texture that you’d typically associate with Soccer Mommy, the performing/recording sobriquet that Nashville native Sophie Allison uses to make ‘90s-inspired indie rock. On astonishing, guitar-forward records like 2018’s Clean and 2020’s Color Theory, Allison’s songs of heartbreak and anguish launched her to indie stardom, earning her tours with Kacey Musgraves and Paramore, a Grammy nomination, and even an iconic Bernie Sanders meme. Her work eventually caught the ears of Daniel Lopatin, who makes experimental electronic music as Oneohtrix Point Never and boasts The Weeknd’s Dawn FM and the Uncut Gems score on his resume. “Once he was interested, I was personally ...
Christian Bale Confirms “Kate Bush Stuff” Was Cut from Thor: Love and Thunder
Looks like Kate Bush couldn’t make a deal with Gorr the God Butcher. According to Christian Bale, the singer’s music was supposed to be featured somehow in Marvel’s upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder, but didn’t made the final cut. “Taika [Waititi] and I wanted to do a whole dance, which we didn’t get to do, but we had all this sort of Kate Bush stuff that we worked at,” the actor revealed in a new interview with Deadline. “I think he just realized he was never going to be allowed to put that in the final film.” He added, “I would say that the most common thing I was staring at [while preparing for the role] was the Aphex Twin video of ‘Come to Daddy.’ But I don’t even know if that will be in the final film.” Advertisement Related Video He also revealed in a recent interview that when he agre...

Lil Nas X and NBA YoungBoy Drop New Single “Late To Da Party”
Rappers Lil Nas X and NBA YoungBoy have joined forces for a new track. On “Late To Da Party,” produced by Take A Daytrip, Lil Nas X takes aim at the 2022 BET Awards, which he didn’t receive any nominations for this year. Lil Nas X began teasing the song earlier this week with a roughly 30-second teaser advertising live performances from him and NBA YoungBoy at the awards show, calling it “culture’s biggest night.” The rapper had a breakthrough year with two top singles, “Industry Baby” with Jack Harlow and “Montero [Call Me By Your Name].” His debut album Montero was also certified platinum. BET has since responded to Lil Nas X with a statement citing his nomination at the awards last year, as well as his “Old Town Road” performance with Billy Ray Cyrus at the event in 2019: “He was nomina...
Muna Are Holding Space For All Your Gay Feelings
By Sam Manzella Muna knew they were onto something when they penned “Silk Chiffon.” They just didn’t realize that something was a queer cultural reset. Speaking to MTV News via video call from separate locations, bandmates Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson are at once elated and exhausted. The Los Angeles-based synthpop trio have been putting their feelings to music together since they first met in college at the University of Southern California about eight years ago. That is precisely why Gavin, Muna’s lead singer and lyricist, thinks their meteoric rise to fame over the past year and a half feels so surreal. “We’re in a kind of sweet spot,” she says, clutching one knee tightly to her chest. “I’ve had this awareness of like, this is a nice time in my life, and I want to be...
Regina Spektor Is On Her Own Hero’s Journey
Regina Spektor still waits for inspiration to strike. The singer-songwriter, who is about to release her first album in more than half a decade, explains that she isn’t the sort of person who sits herself down at the piano when she doesn’t feel like she has something to say. She’s often struck by peers and friends who have developed different types of discipline, people who craft songs with the skill of someone assembling furniture, but her process has always been much more organic. “It’s like somebody screaming at a fish pond for 10 minutes and then like putting in their their fishing rod,” she tells Consequence of trying to force herself to write. “Where are all the fish? Well, maybe you shouldn’t have brought a megaphone to this.” Home, before and after, the name of Spektor’s eight...
