Beneath the Last Dinner Parties and Wet Legs of U.K. indie rock lies a smaller, more earnest niche, one that’s both kinetic and deeply emotional. These artists have a lot in common with their aforementioned peers—though they often embrace an earnest attitude, rather than a fashionably arch one—and even if they aren’t equally famous, their songs sound enormous. Among the best of this category is Catherine Anne Davies, who performs as the Anchoress, mixing ’80s pop with the gritty ’90s rock of Richey Edwards-era Manic Street Preachers.Davies has breached containment, at least in her home country: Both 2016’s Confessions of a…

One of the Notorious B.I.G.’s former managers has won a legal battle against the late rapper’s widow, R&B singer Faith Evans, in the first of two lawsuits involving control of Biggie’s music empire and intellectual property.

Barrow is the sole trustee of the trust and executor of Voletta’s estate. After Voletta died in February 2025 at age 78, Evans…

Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny are both major superstars — and they’ve shared some parallels in their careers and discographies for several years. Now, they’re even using the same playbook to deal with taunts and baiting from Donald Trump‘s and the White House’s social media teams. Since Trump took office during his second term, he and his administration have been using social media as part of their communication strategy. The propaganda-like, rage-bait-style clips often lean into internet culture and use popular music to make light of Trump’s most egregious actions, like his immigration policy and war-hungry foreign policy. Olivia Rodrigo,…

Oasis fans have been sharing footage and memories as the band mark the 30th anniversary of their legendary Knebworth concerts. Today (August 10) marks 30 years since the band first played their 1996 super gigs, which sold out in under 24 hours and saw them welcome 250,000 fans across two nights.

The band later released a live…

Just a few weeks after it was reported that Donald Trump was unsatisfied with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s progress codifying his vaccine conspiracies into national health policy, the president signed an executive order radically remaking the nation’s childhood immunization schedule.  Speaking from the Oval Office on Monday, Trump told reporters he was “proud to officially announce the United States of America’s gold standard childhood vaccination recommendations.” “That has to do with many subjects including autism in particular,” he added.
