Guns N’ Roses Share ‘Hard Skool’
Last month, Guns N’ Roses seemingly out of nowhere (but not really since they played the song two nights before in Boston at Fenway Park) shared a new version of the Chinese Democracy casualty “Silkworms” that was newly Christened as “Absurd.” Last week, a post on TikTok from Slash’s girlfriend saw the band working on a new tune in Chicago (this time at Wrigley Field, what is it with these guys and baseball stadiums?) called “Hard Skool,” from the same marathon sessions. Well, it’s out now and you can hear it below. What does this mean? Who knows as yet but there’s definitely new music coming from the group. Axl Rose hasn’t released a new album with Slash and Duff McKagan since Use Your Illusion I and II, which turned 30 last week. GNR’s last release was 2008’s Chinese Democracy. Guns...

Bartees Strange Unveils ‘Weights’ From Live Forever Deluxe Edition
One of the brightest revelations of 2020 was Bartees Strange. In a year full of misery, Strange’s debut album, Live Forever, was one of our favorites and landed on our best albums and best songs list. Thus, it makes sense that a year after the album’s release, Strange has more in store. The singer-songwriter shared a new song, “Weights,” from an upcoming deluxe edition of Live Forever that’s out on October 1. The song was recorded earlier this year with Will Yip producing. “This is about the ones that got away,” Strange said of the song in a statement. “Going back and forth in my head about relationships that could have happened, missing that it didn’t, and finally realizing I gotta let the weight of it all go.” Listen to “Weights” below. Strange will be performing at Govern...

Watch Let’s Eat Grandma Walk Through A ‘Hall Of Mirrors’
Let’s Eat Grandma released a glistening video for their newest single, the synthpop-laden “Hall Of Mirrors.” This is the first music in three years from the British duo, Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth. The pop song is rendered through the dreamlike video directed by El Hardwick. In the bright, yet blurry video, Let’s Eat Grandma play games and ride a carousel at a fair. With a disposable-camera-like filter effect, the two make walking through a hall of mirrors look really cool in the five-minute mini-movie. “I wanted to use the setting of a fairground at night to describe the dizziness, intensity and excitement of being with a woman I had strong feelings for, and the hall of mirrors as a metaphor for discovering and exploring parts of myself that I was bringing to life,” Walton said in...
