<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-15T14:38:38+00:00“>April 15, 2021 | 10:38am ET The members of French electronic duo Justice haven’t just spent the pandemic sitting around drafting cease and desist letters over Justin Bieber ripping off their logo. It turns out one half of the pair has been working on his debut solo material, and now Gaspard Augé is giving us our first taste of those efforts with his first-ever solo single, “Force Majeure”. The track serves as an early preview of Escapades, Augé’s upcoming solo LP from Genesis/Ed Banger Records/Because Music. If “Force Majeure” is any indication, fans are in for a treat of ’80s cinematic maximalism. Press play and instantly be taken to a wild montage of ret...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-15T14:55:11+00:00“>April 15, 2021 | 10:55am ET Sharon Van Etten’s Epic Ten anniversary reissue arrives on digital platforms tomorrow, and now she’s shared the final advance single: a cover of “Love More” by recent Grammy winner Fiona Apple. The double-disc Epic reissue has already spawned several thrilling updates to old songs: Big Red Machine’s “A Crime”, IDLES’ “Peace Signs”, Shamir’s “Dsharpg”, and Courtney Barnett and Vagabon’s “Don’t Do It”. “Love More” is the closing track to both Epic and Epic Ten, and Apple puts her mark on the song right from the beginning with newly-added claps and hand drums. Where the original derived its atmospheric...
Duff McKagan’s Pre-Guns N’ Roses Punk Band The Living Premiere “Live by the Gun”: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-15T15:00:32+00:00“>April 15, 2021 | 11:00am ET Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan‘s early Seattle punk band The Living are set to drop their unearthed collection of 1982 recordings, titled The Living: 1982, on Friday (April 16th). Now they’re premiering the music video for the track “Live by the Gun” exclusively via Heavy Consequence ahead of the release. The song is a classic punk rock anthem, raging against war mongering politicians and the right-wing establishment. A definite UK punk influence can be heard in the driving power chords — played by McKagan on guitar — and defiant attitude of singer John Conte. With lyrics like, “Shoot shoot shoot the gun/ Kill kill kill kill...
Chet Hanx, Son of Tom Hanks, Drops New Song “White Boy Summer”
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-14T18:13:59+00:00“>April 14, 2021 | 2:13pm ET We live in a cold, uncaring world — a place devoid of logic or compassion — and if you needed proof we now have the new song “White Boy Summer” by Chet Hanx. The third child of Tom Hanks has long been a powerful argument against his father’s perfection. From his days rapping under the name Chet Haze, to his insistence that he was allowed to use the N-word, through his odd appearance at the Golden Globes last year when he spent the whole evening talking in a fake Jamaican accent, the man now calling himself Hanx has always been an agent of chaos. Hanx’s newest venture kicked off two weeks ago, when he shared a baffling video on Instagr...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-14T18:19:52+00:00“>April 14, 2021 | 2:19pm ET You can never get too much Luther Vandross, which is why we’re celebrating what would have been the R&B legend’s 70th birthday by giving away a sweet prize pack. Born April 20th, 1951, this year would have marked Vandross’ 70th, though he passed away in 2005. To honor the late icon on his platinum birthday, we’re giving away one (1) prize pack featuring Never Too Much and 1995’s This Is Christmas on vinyl, plus a unique commemorative plaque highlighting Vandross’ four RIAA-certified Gold and Platinum singles: “Never Too Much”, “Here and Now”, “Endless Love”, and “Dance with My Father”.

Crumb Announce Sophomore Album Ice Melt
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-14T18:20:44+00:00“>April 14, 2021 | 2:20pm ET After a lot of teasing and a discreet Billboard campaign, Crumb have finally announced a new album is on the way. The record is called Ice Melt and it’s due out April 30th via their own label Crumb Records. It’s the psych-rock band’s second studio full-length overall, following their 2019 debut Jinx. Ice Melt consists of 10 tracks in total and includes the three singles Crumb released earlier this year: the bass-forward jazz funk number “Trophy”, the eerie dream-pop song “BNR”, and the energetic hit “Balloon”. Based on those songs, it sounds like the Brooklyn-based group will be on the top of their game once again as they refine ...
Punk in the Park 2021 U.S. Festivals to Feature Pennywise, NOFX, The Vandals, Face to Face, and More
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-14T19:03:07+00:00“>April 14, 2021 | 3:03pm ET In another sign that things are opening up on the festival front, a pair of events dubbed Punk in the Park will take place this May and November in Arizona and California, respectively. Each will feature a lineup of notable punk bands. Originally, the two-day California edition, Punk in the Park – Orange County, was set to be the inaugural version of the new fest, but pandemic restrictions led organizers to move the original 2020 dates to April 2021 and then again to November 6th and 7th at Oak Canyon Park. That makes the one-day Punk in the Park – Arizona event, taking place May 29th at Big Surf Water Park in Tempe — the first stagin...
Artist of the Month Amigo the Devil on Born Against, Collecting Curiosities, and the Influence of Tom Waits and Fiona Apple
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-14T19:22:27+00:00“>April 14, 2021 | 3:22pm ET Artist of the Month is an accolade we award to an up-and-coming artist who we believe is about to break out. We turn our attention in April to the dark Americana singer-guitarist Amigo the Devil, as he releases his sophomore album, Born Against. Amigo the Devil is Consequence’s Artist of the Month for April 2021, but the singer also known as Danny Kiranos has been conquering our souls for a few years now. We first debuted his music with his infectious song “Everyone Gets Left Behind” (featuring Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk) off his 2018 debut album, Everything Is Fine, and he’s been killing it ever since. In 2019, we wit...
Arcade Fire Release 45-Minute Instrumental Track “Memories of the Age of Anxiety”
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-15T02:36:45+00:00“>April 14, 2021 | 10:36pm ET Arcade Fire have released a 45-minute instrumental track called “Memories of the Age of Anxiety”. The catch? You can only hear it on the meditation app Headspace. The song is technically a partnership between the Canadian indie-rock legends and the mindfulness company, whose popular app features all sorts of sounds for relaxation and/or concentration. In a post on the band’s Instagram page that reads like ad copy, the band describe the composition as “meditative vibes to help you focus and feel inspired.” From the short audio clip they attached with the message, it does sound like an apt description. Similar to their lauded Her ...

The friendship between artists Rina Sawayama and Elton John spans genres and generations, proving that those different talents and experiences make for one hell of a collaboration. The duo released a poignant new version of Sawayama’s single “Chosen Family” on Wednesday (April 13) that celebrates finding love and acceptance within one’s friendship circle, or chosen family. The song, which originally appeared on her 2020 debut album Sawayama, was reworked from its atmospheric, electronica into a smooth, heartwarming duet featuring vocal and piano accompaniment by John. Its music video spotlights the two as they perform before a blue background and sing the LGBTQ+ anthe...
