Ukrainian Punks Gogol Bordello Play Secret Show for Ukrainian Soldiers: Watch
Gogol Bordello spent years framing themselves as nationless punks, with frontman Eugene Hütz singing in 2013, “Borders are scars on the face of the planet.” But after Russia‘s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Hütz discovered something unexpected: patriotism. Now, his multinational band proudly touts his Ukrainian heritage, and as VICE reports, they recently traveled to his homeland to play a secret concert for Ukrainian soldiers. “We had an opportunity to support our fighters, defenders, border guards and some refugees with our band — [to] support musically, morally, spiritually,” he told VICE. “Music remains to be a very serious force… a very serious weapon of defense for people for whom burning out and getting tired of war is not an option… People of Ukraine [are] stan...

Arctic Monkeys Debut New Song “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am”: Watch
Arctic Monkeys played the Zurich Openair festival in Switzerland on Tuesday, and during their set, they debuted a new song called “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am.” Watch fan-captured footage below. “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am” sounds more like Arctic Monkey’s last album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, than their irreverent, rocking beginnings. In the live clip, Alex Turner belts out the song’s title a cappella style before the band kicks into a groovy, bass-heavy number. The new song’s style is in line with drummer Matt Helders’ recent description of the next Arctic Monkeys LP. “I mean, it’s never gonna be like ‘R U Mine?’ and all that stuff again, you know, the heavy riffs and stuff,” he revealed. “But there are riffs in there and [it’s] a bit more up-tempo, even though it’s...

Panic! At the Disco’s Brendon Urie Is the Life of the Party in ‘Sugar Soaker’ Music Video
Panic! At the Disco unveiled the music video for their new song “Sugar Soaker” on Tuesday (Aug. 23) and, well, it’s an absolute rager. In the clip for the infectious track, Brendon Urie heads to a retro house party straight out of the ’70s. Clad in a jean jacket and retro graphic tee, the frontman wails, “Little sugar soaker/ Breakin’ my bed/ Red tail lights in the back of her head/ Such a cherry leather looker/ Drive her till I’m dead/ Little sugar soaker/ C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, yeah!” as the alcohol flows and he freely imbibes.

Eddie Vedder Shares Heartfelt Cover of Joe Strummer’s “Long Shadow”: Stream
Eddie Vedder is celebrating the birthday of his late friend Joe Strummer with a cover of “Long Shadow.” The song originally appeared on 2003’s Streetcore, a posthumous album the Clash singer recorded with his band The Mescaleros. Vedder can be heard singing “Long Shadow” in a video produced and directed by Lance Bangs. It feels like an especially appropriate setup for honoring a friend who’s passed away, as the Pearl Jam frontman plays his acoustic guitar by a crackling firepit — perhaps a nod to Strummer’s Fender Campfire? It’s also certainly not a coincidence that the cover has arrived just in time for what would be Strummer’s 70th birthday, which is August 21st. “I just think that what Joe did with the Mescaleros and those records, and those songs, and those words, it was a ve...
