In 1976, there was no bigger rock star on the planet than Peter Frampton. His concert album Frampton Comes Alive! spent 10 weeks on top of the Billboard charts that year, and he outsold Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, the Rolling Stones, Wings, and every other act on the charts. But it was an impossible act to follow, and in a little over a decade he became a member of David Bowie's backing band since his recording career had completely flatlined. In the 1990s, however, he established himself as a major live draw, and continues playing to this day, even if…
Rovereto (Trento), Campana dei Caduti – 1 giugno 2026 Articolo di Serena Bressan Ci sono concerti che puntano all’esplosione. E poi ci sono serate come Poplar Utopia – The Afterglow, che scelgono invece la persistenza della luce prima e dopo il tramonto. Il bagliore che rimane sospeso nell’aria quando tutto sembra essersi già consumato. Nella cornice solenne della Campana dei Caduti a Rovereto (TN), memoria, silenzio e paesaggio diventano parte integrante dell’esperienza musicale. Alle 21.30, come da tradizione, i 100 rintocchi di Maria Dolens chiudono i concerti e avvolgono il pubblico in una dimensione sospesa, quasi rituale. Una chiusura perfetta…
The Black Crowes got into it with a segment of their fans, who started booing after frontman Chris Robinson rebuffed their “U.S.A.” chants at a May 31 show in Tampa, Florida. According to various reports, the flare-up occurred near the end of the Black Crowes‘ set, after they flashed their Black Crowes mascot on the big screen, dressed as Uncle Sam. This being Florida, a chunk of the crowd apparently took that as their cue to launch into a patriotic chant. To be fair, the Black Crowes have never been an overtly political band, so this isn’t like a “U.S.A.”…

We have reached the halfway point of the first half of the year and for some it is already time to take stock. As in the case of the online magazine Stereogum, which has published its ranking of the 50 best albums released so far this year. “Fifty albums aren't even enough to encompass the breadth of sounds that have animated 2026, but they offer a cross-section of the melodies and rhythms that have thrilled us thus far – writes Chris DeVille in the introduction – The following list is limited to the albums released by the end of May.…
As Belle & Sebastian share their buoyant 2026 Scotland World Cup anthem ‘It Only Takes One Lion’, frontman Stuart Murdoch has spoken to NME about capturing the feeling back home and his hopes for the team since childhood. Released today (Tuesday June 2), the Scottish indie heroes’ bid for their nation’s tournament anthem was written after the team’s surprise 4-2 qualifying win against Denmark. “I felt like we were watching history in the moment, like the hand of God from the old National Lottery adverts was pointing at us,” Murdoch told NME about that game-changing victory. “It was meant to…
Ben Gibbard was overwhelmed by his memories. It started a few years ago on the joint anniversary tour that the Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie put on to celebrate 20 years of Give Up and Transatlanticism. Each night, the frontman would travel back in time, tap into his 26-year-old self and deliver convincing, vulnerable performances. But offstage, Gibbard, 49, was finding it difficult to switch back and forth between the past and present as his personal life took a rough turn. The frontman was going through a separation from photographer Rachel Demy, who he married in 2016. By…
NYC hardcore pioneers Cro-Mags are back with their first new song in six years, “Wired for Chaos,” which premieres today exclusively on Rolling Stone. The thundering track — which shares a name with a recent documentary about the wild life of frontman Harley Flanagan — contains everything Cro-Mags have always done best. As Flanagan himself put it in a statement, “It comes in with an aggressive metal intro befitting a UFC walk-in or a video game, then bursts into a more traditional HC thrash vibe before returning to a heavy beatdown at the end in an unmistakable Cro-Mags style.” As…
