Chvrches are back with their first song in three years and the salvo of a new era following 2021’s Screen Violence. Listen to “Roses” below. Lauren Mayberry, who released a solo album after that last Chvrches LP, said in a press release, “This is the longest break we had ever taken between albums and when we got together to write new music, we wanted to really push ourselves and not be retreading ground we’d walked before. I really think we achieved that. It feels like the most coherent vision we’ve had as a band. We’re excited to be back…”The band…
Clown Panic arrives on Hulu next month So much has happened over the past decade you’d be forgiven for forgetting one of the weirdest things to emerge out of that pivotal, discombobulating, deranged year 2016: Killer clowns. Late that summer, a spate of alleged clown sightings in Grenville County, South Carolina snowballed into a social media-fueled firestorm, which now feels like a very distinct indicator of exactly where we were headed as a country. Now, to commemorate the unsavory anniversary of this portentous clown show — and dig into what the hell exactly happened — Hulu is prepping a new…
The man charged with murdering longtime American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, the musician Thomas Deluca, inside their Los Angeles home last year remains unfit to stand trial more than eight months after he was committed to a state hospital under an involuntary medication order, a judge ruled Monday. Raymond Boodarian, 23, did not appear at the progress hearing in Los Angeles County mental health court. Judge Maria Cavalluzzi based her ruling on a report submitted over the weekend by officials at Patton State Hospital in San Bernardino County, where Boodarian has been committed since January. “The…

“The strippers I know in particular love dancing to him,” said Kiana. “And I believe if your song is a hit in the strip club, it’s likely to have mass appeal.”The switch from P-Valley mode back to moshing felt almost obligatory. I understand we’re in the Rolling Loud era where the sight of bodies being flung together is a big sell for rap shows, but Don’s music ultimately felt too clean and unabrasive for that, missing the blaring distortion and noise that makes it seem mandatory at Opium shows. From afar, the mosh pits seemed kind of weak—too many guys…
Pop’s resident Jigsaw wants to play another game. Taylor Swift has spent the last week dropping her characteristic Easter eggs: She changed her Instagram bio to “And, baby, that’s sh0w business f0r y0u. ❤️🔥”; tweaked the layout of the “Read My Letter” page of her website (yes, these things are significant); and, in a Law & Order-themed skit that aired during the 2026 Emmy Awards on Monday, September 14, rattled off a string of nonsense words that, according to some keen-eyed fans, unscramble to reveal the message “HI MY FIRST RECORD’S RE-RECORD IS OUT NOV TEN. AHAHAHA.”As of today, Swift…

It’s seven weeks into this year’s Esports World Cup, the world’s biggest international video game competition, but CEO Ralf Reichert doesn’t appear tired at all. Sipping a cappuccino inside the VIP embassy of Paris’ Expo Porte de Versailles, the former pro gamer-turned-entrepreneur is entirely at ease. After all, he’s not one of the over two thousand people competing. Those days are long behind him. “We would pack a car and bring our own computers and the big CRT monitors,” Reichert tells Rolling Stone. “There was a tournament here in Paris called LAN Arena. It was in 1999 and 2000; we…
