Dwayne Johnson has debuted a new song from a Moana-inspired album, as well as revealing that he would consider a return to music. The Hollywood superstar debuted ‘Your Dad’, the sweet ballad from ‘Moana: Voices Across The Ocean’, a companion album to the live action remake of Disney’s Moana that was released this year. The song was co-written with 2023 American Idol winner Iam Tongi, and you can listen to it below. While discussing the new track with Rolling Stone, Johnson revealed that he was “exploring” the idea of developing a music career. Having reached the top of two businesses,…
Blossoms frontman Tom Ogden recently sat down with NME to discuss the unusual origins of their upcoming collaborative single with Declan McKenna. The band brought out McKenna at an intimate Manchester gig last week (August 5), with the one-off homecoming show at the Manchester Deaf Institute seeing the indie icons celebrate their breakthrough 2016 album as well as debut playful new track ‘Additional Driver’. At the time, Ogden explained on stage that the collaborative track was about a “minor collision in a car at the Apollo roundabout”, and later told NME the song came about in the same AirBnb in Anglesey…
“Suck the farts from my fucking arse” – these are the immortal words reserved for Getdown Services’ haters, as revealed at their seemingly unlikely gig handpicked by Harry Styles for his recent Meltdown Festival. Said hate came primarily online “from people called Ian and Martin” who sought to gatekeep what “real music” might be when the buzzy Minehead-via-Brighton party-starters made a similarly surprise appearance on Later… With Jools Holland earlier this summer. Two quite average-looking moustachioed men with a penchant for putting on one helluva show, performing topless and comedically poking at the more absurd moments of the mundane with…
Drum ‘n’ bass artist DJ Bou invited a flight attendant to join him on stage, after a clip he took of her handling a drunken passenger on his flight went viral. The ‘Baddadan’ artist shared a series of clips to his Instagram Stories on Thursday (August 6) showing an altercation between two passengers and on-flight security staff as he boarded a flight from London’s Heathrow Airport to Las Vegas. British Airways flight attendant Sophie Turner can be seen holding off one disruptive passenger, sternly telling them: “If I have to tell you again, I will be restraining you, sir, if…
During KatzPascale’s first show in Leeds earlier this summer, a 55-year-old man cried for the first time since his wedding. In their video diary of the tour, he appears on grainy film, bewildered as he and his wife tell the camera, as if delivering a testimony, how, before that night, tears hadn’t fallen from his eyes since 2001. The response isn’t uncommon for the live shows of saxophonist Sammi Katzmann and cellist/vocalist Jenna Pascale, where audience members pour into the streets afterwards, heralding the experience as a catharsis, an awakening, perhaps even an exorcism. Since the first moment they began…

Rosario Dawson confirmed she filmed a scene as her Daredevil character Claire Temple for Spider-Man: Brand New Day—but it didn’t make the final cut. During an appearance at GalaxyCon in Raleigh, North Carolina, the actress said she was “a reject of Spider-Man.” In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Dawson’s character is a nurse who treats injured superheroes. She first appeared in the debut season of Daredevil in 2015, and reprised the role in several subsequent MCU series, including Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders. “I even shot a scene in the new Spider-Man movie, but I got cut…
In the six years since Phoebe Bridgers delivered her critical darling, 2020’s ‘Punisher’, her life has been marked by seismic shifts – touring and picking up multiple Grammys with supergroup Boygenius, a public romance and breakup, and, in 2022, the loss of her father. But, according to Bridgers, it wasn’t just the chaos of life that prolonged the release of her third album, but a state of “world wear[iness]”, a yearning for a separation of church and state between the music she was making and the world it would exist in. Making peace with that dichotomy took time, time that…
Once or twice a month, sometimes more, a hundred or so Bandcamp subscribers receive a notification about a new release from Kevin Drumm. Most of these releases are adorned with sepia-toned images likely taken on an iPhone. Some list when and where they were recorded along with the instruments used in the process—“Phone, tape machine, voices,” “Electronics, tunnel, computer”—while others are released with zero context whatsoever. The music itself feels wholly ungoverned by any form of structure, and while there are layers upon layers of sound to be parsed out, they all seem to fold into a haze.A handful of…
The pair teamed up for the single’s fantastically campy video in 2024 Sabrina Carpenter‘s music video for her Short n’ Sweet single, “Taste,” has become a standout in her cinematic universe thanks in large part to her co-star, actress Jenna Ortega. The impossible-to-murder pair chase each other with a machete, shotgun, and chainsaw throughout the fantastically campy film, which pays homage to the classics like Death Becomes Her. While its easy to see why fans might assume the stunning bloodbath took weeks of planning between the two to pull off — given the amount of times they murder each other in the three-minute…
