After an iconic turn in 1994’s Beavis & Butt-Head: The Game, GWAR have announced their first gaming collaboration in more than 30 years. GWAR were Beavis & Butt-Head’s favourite band in the classic ‘90s cartoon and the video game spin-off saw the two teenage slackers desperately trying to get to a GWAR gig. Since then, the shock rockers’ music has appeared in 2009’s Guitar Hero 5 and Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The Neighborhood but now the heavy metal band have confirmed details of a brand new video game collab. GWAR will appear in the Antarctica Scumbags expansion for Mutant…

It was a moment Bright Eyes had worked towards for more than a year. Over 10,000 noughties indie-folk fans turned out to watch the Omaha group, led by Conor Oberst, perform their revered twin albums ‘I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning’ and ‘Digital Ash In A Digital Urn’ at a specially staged, 21st anniversary show at New York’s Forest Hill Stadium. They got through half of it… and then the storm arrived. Promoters called the band off stage, pulled the concert, and told fans to get to safety before conditions worsened. For Oberst, it was painful deja vu. A concert weeks…

Tony Iommi has revealed why he turned down the chance to make one final Black Sabbath album with the original line-up. The band’s last album was 2013’s ‘13‘, which saw Iommi appear alongside Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler. The line-up was completed Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave drummer Brad Wilk after original drummer Bill Ward’s chose to not participate due to a contractual dispute. ’13’, which was the iconic heavy metal band’s nineteenth album, topped the UK and the US charts and earned the group a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. Now, Iommi has opened up about his…

Stephen Colbert doesn’t think the foundations of America have been shaken by the cancellation of The Late Show. After winning the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series last night, Colbert told Variety that he believes “free speech is alive and well.” “Because if you can’t say something because you go to jail, that is a violation of free speech,” Colbert said, pointing to the other late-night shows that have continued, including The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I think that late night is just as funny and just as vital as it ever has been, and I love watching Jimmy…

Hakushi Hasegawa believes in the unlimited. Since their earliest releases, the Japanese producer and composer has pursued the dissolution of musical boundaries. They retrofit their tracks with sounds of past and present, covering free jazz and breezy J-rock, even extending to the outer edges of hyperpop’s nebula. Honest Feeling Album, their fourth record, extracts a facsimile of order from the chaos, undergirding the variation with earnest, curious songwriting without smoothing out the gleefully jagged edges.Hasegawa broke out as a teenage wunderkind with their 2018 EP of junglist jazz, Sōmoku hōdō. Subsequent releases stretched to contain more multifarious ideas—their 2019 debut…

Articolo di Lorenzo Vezzosi | Foto di Luca Simonazzi DISCLAIMER “Ah s*#t! Here we go again” recitavano in un famoso franchise videoludico. Siamo di nuovo qui, e stavolta la missione in cui ci siamo sobbarcati è piuttosto ardua e pretenziosa, per due motivi: il primo è che stilare una classifica di artisti incredibili è una sfida sostanzialmente impossibile, mai e poi mai oggettiva (sentito, Sanremo e X-Factor?); il secondo, è che ho abbastanza anni di esperienza sul web per sapere che le polemiche sono dietro l’angolo in questi casi… Per rendervi l’idea: ecco un esempio di scambio d’opinioni pacato sul…

There are some musical clunkers on The World Is Yours, but the album’s unevenness is mostly due to Rio’s performances. For the first time in his career, he sounds worn down both mentally and physically, which makes sense when you consider last year’s relentless touring schedule, his consistently prolific output, and all the other personal shit he’s been through. You can hear the toll life’s taken on him from the start of “Be Like Me,” the album’s paranoid and funereal opener, where Rio’s mucus-y voice sounds especially scratchy and strained. Rio addresses the frog in his throat on “Lost My…

From her beginnings on The Porter Wagoner Show to her series of Christmas movies and specials, Dolly Parton had a long history with television. On Monday night, the 78th Emmy Awards paid tribute to the country songwriter and actress with a standalone homage during the telecast. Her longtime friend actress Sally Field, who starred alongside Parton in the 1989 film Steel Magnolias, said Parton was “genuine and humble, supportive, and blisteringly funny, with a bawdy sense of humor that would send any rude guy looking for a place to hide.” “There are truly angels on Earth, and we just lost…

Sheryl Crow and Olivia Rodrigo have history. They’ve performed together at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe, at Crow’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2023, and then again in Nashville during a stop on Rodrigo’s headlining arena tour the following year. So, Rodrigo’s appearance in Nashville on Monday night during a dinner honoring Crow’s achievements as a songwriter shouldn’t have come as the biggest surprise. And yet, in an evening filled with A-level performances by Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Jason Isbell, Lauren Daigle, and Melissa Etheridge, it was an undeniable showstopper. Crow, who released her debut album Tuesday…

Oasis have finally announced details of their Live ’27 tour for next year. Check out the full dates along with ticket details, prices and on-sale information below. There have long been rumours of the Gallaghers returning to road again in 2027, with reports emerging that they’d be playing shows in Manchester and Knebworth. Off the back the hype surrounding their new documentary Don’t Look Back In Anger about their reunion and the last run of shows, the band then started a teaser campaign with Easter eggs revealing the locations – before confirming that an announcement was coming with a drone…
