Some records try to tell a story, others instead build a mental space in which to get lost. “The Isle Of Skye”, the new work by Infinity Ring, does not resemble a collection of songs so much as a slow crossing where you can wander. A pilgrimage into a landscape that seems to exist simultaneously in multiple eras: a Scottish moor shrouded in fog, an abandoned cathedral and an Edenic garden haunted by its own ghosts. Everything seems familiar yet slightly off-axis, like a dream that keeps changing shape as soon as you try to focus on it. Infinity Ring…
The UK government has announced details of a £45million investment to “turn up” the music industry, but attention now turns on the work that needs to be done by new Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his government.

A feed-an-entire-emerging-nation platter of lobster, clams, mussels and shrimp delivered by a tanning-booth-obsessed waitress in microshorts. “Ever since we signed to a major label, whenever we have any kind of meeting, we make them take us out for lobster,” L7 vocalist Donita Sparks explains cheerfully. It's the punk thing to do. “Our waitress doesn't have enough clothes on,” says bassist Jennifer Finch, whose own cropped top isn't all that demure. But combined…
Paul McCartney wrote over a thousand songs over the course of his career, building one of the most important catalogs in the history of pop music. Yet, even one of the greatest authors of all time has never hidden the fact that he has made some mistakes. Indeed, there is a song that he unhesitatingly considers the worst he has ever written.It is “Bip Bop”, the second song from “Wild Life”, Wings' debut album released in 1971. It was also the first song recorded for the album, on July 24, 1971, and one of the last to be mixed, on…

It took place on Saturday (July 18), when Fred Durst and co. headlined the opening night of Creed’s two-day Summer Of ’99 And Beyond Festival at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois.

At first, some of the crowd appeared unaware that the interruption…

An architecture of the past in all its splendor was the setting for the Catania stage of the summer tour in acoustic format of Iosonouncane, an event organized in synergy by Azul and Zō Centro Culture Contemporanee. An intimate dimension, guitar and voice, set in the Ancient Theater of the Etna capital, made even more evocative by the emergence of water – legend has it that it is the underground Amenano – to flood the orchestra.
