It started a few years ago on the joint anniversary tour that the Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie put on to celebrate 20 years of Give Up and Transatlanticism. Each night, the frontman would travel back in time, tap into his 26-year-old self and deliver convincing, vulnerable performances. But offstage, Gibbard, 49, was finding it difficult to switch back and forth between the past and present as his personal life took a rough turn. The frontman was going through a separation from photographer Rachel Demy, who he married in 2016. By…
NYC hardcore pioneers Cro-Mags are back with their first new song in six years, “Wired for Chaos,” which premieres today exclusively on Rolling Stone. The thundering track — which shares a name with a recent documentary about the wild life of frontman Harley Flanagan — contains everything Cro-Mags have always done best. As Flanagan himself put it in a statement, “It comes in with an aggressive metal intro befitting a UFC walk-in or a video game, then bursts into a more traditional HC thrash vibe before returning to a heavy beatdown at the end in an unmistakable Cro-Mags style.” As…

Jack Whitehall has said he is “honoured” that Becky Hill has written a diss song about him after his “Wetherspoons Whitney” comment.
