There’s a hunger for shredding in the air. After years of press-play shows becoming the norm, artists are once again being rewarded for actually being good at their instruments. Fievel Is Glauque, SML, YHWH Nailgun, Black Midi’s various spin-offs—we’re living in proggy times, but you know what’s even better than someone who can play their instrument well? Someone who’s so good that they know how to pretend to be sloppy.Nu Jazz are a New York supergroup that’s congealed out of a handful of overlapping scenes. Vocalist Danny Orlowski howls as part of noise/gabber/industrial/etc. group Deli Girls, with drummer John Bemis…

On Set in Stone, Rick Ross’s 12th album, the Magic City rap impresario deems himself the “Miami Martin Scorsese,” a bold, one might say outlandish, claim that nonetheless tracks with his penchant for over-the-top fiction. For 20 years, Rozay has refined a larger-than-life kingpin character, one that directs drug traffic and greenlights hits while anchored in Biscayne Bay, an iced champagne bucket always within reach. He’s created a deep mafioso mythology for himself that’s at odds with his reality as a former corrections officer turned fast food franchise and real estate mogul, but it’s never really seemed to matter. Ross…

On the first anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne's death, his wife Sharon revealed the advice the metal legend gave her to help remember him when he was gone. Sharon, who was in Ozzy's hometown of Birmingham on Wednesday as the city celebrated its first Ozzy Day, spoke with BBC about how she hoped to continue his legacy. “As Ozzy would say, 'When you want to remember me, just yank up the music really loud, as loud as you can get it, and just head bang,'” Sharon said. “He was authentic,” she continued. “He never tried to be anything other than what…

Sting 3.0 – World Tour (3 luglio) Negli ultimi anni sono saliti sul palco di Umbria Jazz nomi illustri, ma nessuno nella storia più e meno recente della rassegna ha rappresentato per il festival perugino quello che rappresenta Sting. Il concerto allo Stadio Renato Curi del 1987, insieme a Gil Evans, appartiene a quel genere di eventi che non si limitano ad arricchire una storia, ma finiscono per deviarne il corso. Da quel giorno Umbria Jazz cominciò ad essere, in maniera più compiuta, il festival che conosciamo oggi. Dopo quel concerto davanti a venticinquemila persone, Sting sarebbe tornato a Perugia…

Mathew Knowles just spilled that Destiny's Child are coming out with a lineup of new remixes and they're releasing in the next … 30 days. “We're about to market a bunch of new remixes, some you've never heard before,” Knowles, Beyoncé's father who managed the trio, told SiriusXM's Page Six Radio on July 22. While Knowles didn't specify if the new tracks would be part of an album, he did reveal that the new music would arrive in the “next 30 days.” “We have a number of remixes that have never been released, and we'll be putting those out soon,”…

vote8.0 Bands: TAKE IT IN BLOOD Duration: 00:29:47 Available from: 12/06/2026 Label: Born Dead Collective Hardcore, like metal, has always lived in cycles. There are periods in which certain formulas prevail, others in which the expressive urgency leaves room for increasingly codified, almost predictable dynamics. In a context like the current one, where breakdowns, mosh parts and winks often seem to follow a pre-established script, Take It In Blood's long-distance debut, “Exit From Life”, appears almost like a foreign body. Not because it reinvents the genre, but because it recovers a form of passion that does not feel the need…

The Spanish artist Guitarricadelafuente, known for his modern-meets-traditional folk sounds, made his television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday night. The singer-songwriter played a dreamy version of “BABIECA!,” one of the standouts from his 2025 album, Spanish Leather. Guitarricadelafuente was introduced by Colman Domingo, who was guest-hosting the show that evening. He started the performance singing softly and playing a zanfona, or hurdy-gurdy, capturing the more hypnotic side of the song. He was quickly joined by more band members, building up a track that eventually moves into an upbeat club-inspired style. “BABIECA!,” which is about desire and falling in…

Taylor Deupree is one of the closest personifications of the concept of “world opera”; it has Babel-like interests that it carries out all together using the most dispersed languages. One could say he cultivates the lost art of conversation, thanks to which, with a disproportionate number of artists (from Sakamoto to Stephan Mathieu, from Richard Chartier to Eisi to David Sylvian to Craig Tattersall to name a few) he creates pidgin and lingua francas to record on disc. With Uwe Zahn (aka Arovane) shares the third stage of the Arbasin triad, both venerable masters returning from the electronic revolution, and…
