Daft Punk Has Split Up After 28 Years
Legendary electronic duo Daft Punk has officially split up after 28 years. They broke the news to fans with a heartbreaking excerpt from their 2006 film Electroma. Fittingly titled “Epilogue,” the 8-minute video signals the end of Daft Punk and echoes the melancholia of the conclusion of the most pioneering act in dance music history. The video shows the duo behind Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, walking through a desert until Bangalter eventually stops walking altogether. He then sheds his Daft Punk jacket and turns around to reveal a power box. Conflicted with switching on the self-destruct sequence, de Homem-Christo finally does and watches Bangalter walk away. After 60 short seconds, the robot explodes in...

While the idea of an up-and-coming artist holding a day job is nothing new, it’s not every day you hear about a doctor who moonlights as a DJ.

Warish, the punk trio led by Riley Hawk, are set to release the new album Next to Pay on April 30th. The band is premiering the LP’s latest single, “Seeing Red”, right here at Heavy Consequence. Riley, a pro skater and son of the legendary Tony Hawk, formed Warish in 2018, but the band has undergone a lineup makeover since their first album, 2019’s Down in Flames.

The band’s heavy sound ranges from Misfits-like horror punk to Bleach-era Nirvana to Black Sabbath doom, with “Seeing Red” falling more into the horror punk category. Riley delivers spooky vocals over the hard-dr...
Twisted Metal TV Series from Deadpool and Zombieland Writers on the Way
The Twisted Metal video game franchise is being adapted into a live-action TV series by Deadpool and Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, according to Variety. Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions are developing the show, which is described as an action comedy. The first Twisted Metal game came out in 1995 and the most recent one was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2012. The gameplay centered on the Twisted Metal demolition derby, where a number of drivers battle it out with missiles and machine guns until only one car remains. The winner is granted a wish by the game’s host, the demonic Calypso, who would typically twist the victor’s desire in dark irony. Serializing the bombastic blow-em-up for the screen will be Michael Jonathan Smith, who most re...
Dinosaur Jr. Share New Single ‘I Ran Away’ Ahead of New Album
A few days after celebrating the 30th anniversary of Green Mind, Dinosaur Jr. are back with a new single, “I Ran Away.” The song comes from their forthcoming Sweep It Into Space album. The new LP arrives on April 23 on Jagjaguwar and is the lineup’s first new collection since 2016’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not. The album was co-produced by Kurt Vile, who also played the lead 12-string on “I Ran Away.” Sessions for what would become Sweep It Into Space began in late 2019, with the album originally slated for release in mid-2020. The pandemic, of course, disrupted the recording process. Instead, singer/guitarist J Mascis “ended up just mimicking a few things he’d done. I was listening to a lot of Thin Lizzy, so I was trying to get some of that dueling twin-lead ...
André Leon Talley Facing Eviction From Home, Allegedly $500K Behind In Rent?
Source: Bravo / Getty One of the fashion world’s biggest players might need a bail out. According to reports, André Leon Talley is on the verge of being shown the exit at his own home.

The two reportedly enjoyed a friendship of over 40 years but have apparently ...
Trump Supporter Kodak Black Got Engaged To Mellow Rackz

According to Complex, Black hinted at an engagement to his girlfriend, up and coming rapper Mellow Rackz, in his IG stories when he shared a screenshot of Jagged Edge’s song “Let’s Get Married” and tagged the 19-year-old rapper.

Aside from Rackz confirming their new engagement on Instagram, Kodak’s attorney also let ...
