Lawyers for Bad Bunny, Drake, and many of reggaeton’s biggest stars faced off against attorneys for reggae duo Steely & Clevie in a Los Angeles courtroom Friday, as a judge asked pointed questions and said he would need several weeks to decide whether to reconsider a major ruling he issued last month. In the July ruling, the judge found that a jury must decide whether an estimated 1,800 reggaeton songs by more than 100 artists infringed the composition copyright held by Cleveland “Clevie” Browne and the heirs of Wycliffe “Steely” Johnson for the 1989 song “Fish Market.” The plaintiffs claim…
Fontaines D.C. have previewed their forthcoming single ‘Marianne’ and confirmed that their fifth studio album is on the way. The Dublin band shared a 30-second snippet of the song on YouTube earlier today (August 14), continuing the fraught, industrial energy that was first heard when they debuted the track live in Cádiz last weekend. Over a frenetic rhythm and sweeping strings, Grian Chatten sings: “This year, you should come and stay here / You can follow my lead, I can help you disappear / Cinematic feeling, understand this is your life / You can go on dreaming, you can go under the knife / Marianne, this could…

The immortal vocalist’s interpretations of classics by Hank Williams, Ray Price, George Jones, and more While Elvis Presley’s musical output was defined more by rock & roll in the Fifties and Sixties, and, later, by easy listening ballads and orchestral anthems, the vocalist maintained a strong affinity for country music throughout his career.

On Wednesday night, Slash played songs from 1987 to a stadium crowd in New Jersey. Roughly 20 hours later, he walked onto a different stage and it was 1987 again — this time on purpose. The occasion was The Lost Boys, the Tony-winning musical adaptation of Joel Schumacher’s vampire comedy, which opened in theaters 10 days after Appetite for Destruction. Onstage, the show’s Santa Carla boardwalk glowed in neon; the ensemble worked crimped hair, leather trenches, fishnets and biker boots. In that light, the timing felt less like coincidence than homage. Slash appeared early, during the rousing rock-club scene in…

It would have capped the cost of concert tickets resold in California at a maximum of 10 percent higher than a ticket’s…

The Reytons have claimed their second UK Number One album with ‘A Love Letter To A Broken Town’. The Rotherham band’s self-released fourth studio record entered the Official Albums Chart at the top spot today (August 14), emulating 2023’s ‘What’s Rock And Roll?’ to become their second chart-topper. It has also topped the Official Vinyl Albums Chart, and frontman Jonny Yerrell has highlighted the fact that the achievement has come despite the lack of mainstream radio support for the album. “This week has been overwhelming, the love and support we have felt from our community has been incredible,” he said. “This has to be the first album…
