C aden Alvarez borrowed an orange shirt from his mom, wound himself in a leafy garland, and boarded the subway from his Bronx home to New York’s Union Square. It was late April 2025, and he’d scored free tickets to a pop-up event celebrating the release of Withered, the debut album from D4vd. Alvarez was a fan of the brooding, vulnerable bedroom pop that had turned the then-20-year-old, born David Anthony Burke, into a Gen Z sensation. The costume nodded to the cover of D4vd’s first EP, Petals to Thorns, and helped Alvarez win a $1,000 fan prize. Alvarez watched…
Weezer gathered a slew of guests stars for the raucous video for their new single “C.E.O.” The band, who will unveil their 20th studio LP Weezer on Aug. 21, enlisted Tony Hawk, Curry Barker, Dax Flame, Chit, Rob Riggle, Rob Huebel, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The meta clip pays homage to their classic 1994 video for “Undone (The Sweater Song).” Huebel and Riggle play a pair of stereotypical CEOs watching Weezer shoot a music video in front of a gold backdrop, instead of the original blue. Frontman Rivers Cuomo complains about being stuck in the past, telling…
Beyoncé has shared a remix pack to accompany her recent single “Morning Dew (Donk),” including one with a rare verse from Jay-Z. The chaotically high-octane new version of the track—which is set to appear on a 20th anniversary reissue of B’Day—samples a string of hits including Soulja Boy’s “Donk,” the Isley Brothers’ “Between the Sheets,” and interpolations of Sheck Wes’ “Mo Bamba.” Check it out below.The original “Morning Dew (Donk)” was co-written with Pharrell, The-Dream, and Darius Dixson, and produced by Pharrell and Bey.

Members of Melvins, Butthole Surfers and more have formed a new supergroup, Gatta Morta. Check out their debut single, ‘Black Hall’, below. The quartet comprises Buzz Osborne (singer, guitarist and founding member of Melvins), bassist JD Pinkus (Butthole Surfers), Melvins drummer Coady Willis, and guitarist/vocalist Clinton Jacob (Mr. Phylzzz). “It’s always a good time for the world to embrace a new heavy/weird band,” Osborne said. “I had the idea for Gatta Morta while touring last fall.

Phoebe Bridgers’ new album, Lost Weekend, is almost here, and the reviews are trickling in. Scanning the credits, you’ll come across both longtime collaborators (Christian Lee Hutson, her boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, and others) and some new faces (Jack Antonoff, Alex G on additional production). Most intriguingly of all, there’s a mystery guest: Who is Son-John Johnson? “Johnson” is credited as contributing to two Lost Weekend tracks: “Kill Me” and “I Can’t Wait.” Whoever he is, he provides backing vocals on the former, and takes a more pronounced role on “I Can’t Wait,” duetting with Bridgers. “All…
Boy George has hit out at Bandcamp again, accusing them of “bowing to the pressure of antisemites” over his pro-Israel song ‘We Will Dance Again‘ while also criticising their AI policy. It comes after he called the online music distribution platform a “bunch of c***s” yesterday (August 4) for removing his profile. “The drama continues,” he said at the time. “Sadly Bandcamp have removed my profile, so anyone trying to get a copy of ‘We Will Dance Again’ will have to wait until I record it and find a way to put it out.” “Also they’ve taken money, so hopefully…
La seconda giornata del Graspop inizia con un piccolo imprevisto: la cancellazione dei Drowning Pool costringe gli organizzatori a rivedere la programmazione del North Stage, anticipando gli Infected Rain alle 13:50. Le prime note arrivano dal Marquee, dove gli Hulder spalancano le porte del secondo giorno con un black metal siderale, glaciale e profondamente rituale. Le atmosfere create dalla formazione statunitense sembrano appartenere più a un bosco avvolto dalla nebbia che a un festival baciato da un sole impietoso. È un inizio quasi straniante, perfetto per prendere lentamente confidenza con una giornata che, col passare delle ore, cambierà volto decine…
