Gang of Youths frontman David Le’aupepe has spoken to NME about the band’s first new single in four years ‘Things Take Time’ and the “philosophical freedom” that has come with writing new material for the band’s long-awaited fourth studio album. The single marks the band’s first new original material since their acclaimed 2022 album ‘Angel In Realtime.’, and marks a significant change of pace. Rather than returning to the maximalist, big-swinging indie-rock that has shaped their previous albums, ‘Things Take Time’ opts for a refined and jazzy groove that swings atop sparse piano chords and stabs of horns. As far…

The fight between country music artist Charlie Crockett and guitar legend Jack White is the feud that keeps on giving. Crocket fired a shot at White, after White fired off one of his own missives earlier today, Aug. 19. If you’re just entering the chat, it might seem that Crockett and White are currently arguing over who’s been the most politically vocal through their career, but the tiff started when Crockett released “Satanic doo-wop” duo Twin Temple as his opening act for the Age of the Ram tour. The duo, husband and wife team Alexandra James and Zachary James, claimed they…

Joe Rogan has discovered Turnstile, while claiming that US rap has “fallen off the charts” because of the defunding of international aid. The conversations took place on a recent ‘Protect Our Parks’ edition of The Joe Rogan Experience, which Rogan hosted alongside the comedians Shane Gillis, Mark Normand and Ari Shaffir. While discussing PSY, Gillis noticed Shaffir – who was sporting a Last Dinner Party T-shirt – attempting to bring Turnstile into the conversation, and declared that he was a fan of their “old stuff”, especially ‘Generator’ from the 2018 album ‘Time & Space‘. “Well, what is Turnstile at all?” Rogan asked. “Explain to me, please.” Normand explained that they are a “young hardcore band”,…
Rush’s Alex Lifeson spent decades as one of rock’s most brilliantly productive stoners. He always played concerts sober, but half-joked to me in 2015 that he wrote “80 percent” of his oft-labyrinthine parts for Rush’s music with THC assistance. But this year, with a high-pressure reunion tour looming, he finally quit weed, as he revealed in our recent cover story interview, published in collaboration with Rolling Stone Canada. “I started having these negative feelings about my confidence and about what was ahead of us. We were halfway through the process. It’s too late to jump off this ship that’s screaming…

RIP to an OG legend of the music business: Columbia House, the mail-order record club that famously promised fans a dozen LPs, CDs, cassettes, or 8-track tapes for a penny. But it’s finally shutting down. “After 9/15/26, The Columbia House will no longer be accepting new orders,” says a tragic message on its website. “You can still purchase books with your credit card or credits as normal.” Columbia House became a long-running part of fan culture, thanks to its ubiquitous ads, in print and on TV. It began in 1955 as the Columbia Record Club, but it really exploded in…
