On 5 and 6 June the Il Tiro Sports Center in Martinengo hosted the fourteenth edition of Rock in Riot, a now consolidated event in the Bergamo music scene. Born as an independent festival with free entry, over the years Rock in Riot has managed to carve out an important space for itself among events dedicated to alternative sounds, maintaining an authentic spirit and a strong focus on the national and international underground scene. The 2026 edition also proposed a heterogeneous line-up, capable of crossing different languages of contemporary rock: from punk to hardcore, from metalcore to psychedelia, up to…
Jay-Z has announced huge shows in Paris and Los Angeles, taking place later this year and celebrating his “legacy”. The new dates come following the rapper returning to the stage for a rare solo performance last month, headlining Roots Picnic 2026 as his first festival date in seven years and breaking out some of his biggest hits. That set also saw him take aim at Nicki Minaj, Drake, Kanye West and more in a freestyle, and came ahead of his upcoming anniversary shows planned for New York’s Yankee Stadium. Those three shows which will celebrate 30 years of his debut…
The Menzingers were getting fired up over a couple of beers, talking about their new album when the topic of where to record came up. There were legendary studios and cities, like Los Angeles, that they had never worked in. Then they had one idea: What if they recorded right in South Philly, the neighborhood they’ve lived in for 20 years? Sure, they’ve made albums in Philadelphia before, at studios in Fishtown and nearby suburb Conshohocken, but for their ninth studio LP, Everything I Ever Saw, they kept everything right in their backyard at producer Will Yip’s newly built studio.…
Five years ago, I published a report in these pages titled “The Devil You Know.” It examined the wrongful convictions of two young men for the rape and murder of Josette Wright, a 12-year-old girl in Carmel, New York. In the fall of 1995, hunters stumbled on Josette’s bones in the woods near rural Carmel, an hour north of the Bronx. Those remains bore the marks of a skilled woodsman and ritual sadist. Josette’s body was found months after another girl in small-town Carmel had gone missing. Parents were rightly panicked, and fierce pressure was levied on the Putnam County…
This reporting was supported by the Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism. WHEN PUBERTY HIT KATERINA RINALDI in middle school, it hit hard, fast, and earlier than everyone else. Quickly, Rinaldi started gaining weight; her body started changing, too. As she puts it, “I had curves.” With those curves came attention, especially from guys. Rinaldi didn’t dig it. So she started dieting in the way a type-A tween might: a skipped meal here, a salad there, a bonus run in between. “I didn’t feel safe in that body — I felt safe in a thinner one,” Rinaldi says. In…
Nick Reiner is demanding access to his more than $1.5 million trust to cover legal fees as he faces charges for allegedly murdering his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. In a petition filed in California probate court Monday (June 8), Nick claimed that a trust his parents set up for him when he was a kid contained “unambiguous instructions about when the funds” were to be released. The first half was supposed to be “distributed to Nick outright when he turned 30,” per the petition, while the rest of the funds were to be issued when he turned 35. “These…

I find the images I like and tear out the pages. I then cut out the imagery I like within each picture. I'll then lay out everything I have and start moving things around, things that seem to connect.”
vote7.5 Bands: NUMEN Duration: 00:36:53 Available from: 12/06/2026 Label: Les Acteurs De L'Ombre Productions Streaming not yet available. The name of these Numen, we will be honest, comes to us almost as new: however the band has not only been active for twenty-nine years, but has also published five full-lengths, of which this “Erre” is the latest released. We therefore thank Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions for their kind assistance, and all in all this mysterious apparition under our radar also gives a certain aura of mystery to the Basque band's black metal. Theirs is a black metal which, while…
Paul McCartney‘s latest solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, has landed here, there, and everywhere on Billboard‘s latest chart returns, mostly at Number One. While the LP, which contains the singles “Days We Left Behind” and “Home to Us,” bowed at Number Five on the Billboard 200, which tabulates an album’s popularity with a combination of sales and “album-equivalent” streaming units, the trade mag reports that it landed at Number One on its Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales charts. McCartney managed this week’s feat by earning 63,000 album equivalent units in the U.S. for…
