We drove the electric Jaguar I-Pace from London to Berlin in mid-2018, before scooting through the deserts of Abu Dhabi Audi’s electric powered e-tron just before Christmas that same year. We flew to Norway to sample the electric-powered Mercedes-Benz EQC in May 2019. With luck, we’ll get to drive a production version of BMW’s electric-powered rival to all three, the iX, in late in 2021. Which begs the question: What took BMW so long to enter its challenger to a wave of European luxury EV SUVs? You don’t have to wander far into the iX’s 23-page press kit to find a clue: The new SUV, it says, is BMW Group’s new technology flagship. The I-Pace, e-tron, and EQC are much more tentative vehicles, both in terms of their hardware and the way they’re positioned within the Jaguar, Audi and Mercedes...
“School’s Out” singer Alice Cooper dropped a cool cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll” today (Nov. 13) ahead of the Feb. 26, 2021, release of his album Detroit Stories via earMUSIC.

The next weekend at the Grande it was MC5, Brownsville Station and ...

Jason Isbell is protesting against the Country Music Association for overlooking some of country’s lost greats during its awards ceremony. In a post late Thursday, the Alabama artist said he and his wife Amanda Shires were dumping their lifetime membership of the CMA after John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Billy Joe Shaver weren’t recognized during the 2020 CMA Awards the previous night. He wrote, “Due to CMAs failure to mention John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Billy Joe Shaver at the CMA’s last night, @amandashires and I have decided to return our membership cards. I doubt anybody will care, but we cared a lot about our heroes.” Due to @CountryMusic’s failure to mention John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Billy Joe Shaver at the CMA’s last night, @amandashires and I have decided t...
If you look closely at the ultra-pricey custom truck industry, you’ll notice a few trends. For one, money doesn’t always buy taste, and two, bespoke truck builders just can’t stop making six-wheeled monster pickups with obscene amounts of power. Southern California-based Rezvani has jumped on the dual rear-axle bandwagon with the apocalypse-ready Hercules 6×6. Picking up where the almost-as-bonkers Rezvani Tank SUV left off, the Hercules 6×6 adds a truck bed, a 1,300-hp supercharged 7.0-liter V-8 based on the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon crate engine, and, most importantly, another pair of wheels and on-demand six-wheel drive. Since the Rezvani Tank is a custom-bodied, highly modified Jeep Wrangler, it’s probably a safe guess that the Hercules starts life as a Jeep Gladiator pickup...
