“Christmas when it comes,” recited a well-known television commercial. While in the punk-pop scene, for some years now, summer has come with the release of Summersad, now in its fourth edition. A single that has become like a serial and that this time, together with the trio of La Sad, is enriched by the participation of Naska. The musical mixture is always the same, between emo trap and pop-punk as well as the themes addressed in the text ranging from finding one’s place in the world to disappointments in love, up to the inner conflicts that grip many very young…

In 1973 George Harrison was to everyone the Beatle who was coming off the best from the end of the band. He had also become a superstar as a soloist thanks to the triple All Things Must Pass and the Concert for Bangladesh which he promoted. Freed from the Fab Four, had he gotten everything he always wanted? Not exactly. And in fact he changed everything with the forgotten masterpiece Living in the Material Worldpublished 50 years ago, at the end of May 1973, choosing a more minimal approach and signing the most deeply strange work of his career.Living in…

In recent years Bad Bunny has dominated in every respect. He was the most listened to artist in the world on Spotify for three consecutive years (from 2020 to 2022), won three Grammys (over awards of all sorts) and cleared reggaeton (but the one done right) all over the world. In his limited free time, the Puerto Rican reggaetonero could easily take a break and enjoy his success. But you know how these artists are, they are never satisfied. And Bad Bunny indeed had another idea: wrestling.The relationship between Bad Bunny and WWE – the largest pro-wrestling association in the…

The first stage at the age of 6 in the churchyard, the suicide of the father, the piano bar to support the family, the first record under contract at 16, the epic of MTV as the protagonist and still the dissolute life between wild parties and memorable encounters with great international artists.He’s a Morgan in the mood to tell and tell himself what he attended Wild moss, the Fedez podcast which, with Luis Sal increasingly distant, is now constantly joined by Davide Marra (the one from the Cerberus podcast). In the last episode with the former leader of Bluvertigo as…

Cat Zhang: Beers in a truck and girls in shorts? [laughs] That’s my guess. Patel: Is it an apology song? Dombal: It is an apology song, you nailed it. You see, last night he let the liquor talk—and it goes on from there. A lot of his new songs are these very vague apologies. And the only thing worse than not apologizing is apologizing in the most rote way. It feels like he’s a little kid, and his mom is forcing him to apologize.Patel: Also, “blame it on the alcohol” is not how we’re doing things in 2023.Patel: Let’s talk about what may be one of the…

“When we do this, we always talk about each album as if it might be the last,” says Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi in a press release about the Icelandic post-rock pioneers’ now seldom returns to the studio. “We’re always thinking about climate change, doom-scrolling and going to hell…” Crikey. So Jónsi seems quite understated when says of the landscape that surrounded the making of their long-awaited eighth studio LP that “the world felt a bit bleak making this album” – yet fear not – “but maybe there is hope. When there is darkness, there is light.” It’s been a decade…

Everything can be said about Billy Corgan (and in fact there would be things to say), but his incredible work ethic and inexhaustible creativity must be recognized. While he put the finishing touches on 20 songs by Cyrthe Smashing Pumpkins record released in 2020, was already dealing with Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Actstriptych composed of 33 songs that the musician has described as the sequel to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and of Machina/The Machines of God. He may seem like a tortured guy, but evidently his inner demons don’t manifest themselves in the form of writer’s…

Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox — known as Toyah & Robert — caught up with NME backstage at Glastonbury 2023 to tell about the future of their successful Sunday Lunch series, plans to hit the road, and how they handle hateful comments. Since starting off the series as a bit of light-hearted relief during the pandemic, no one was more surprised by the sudden momentum than the couple themselves. Now, over three years since they began Sunday Lunch, the duo have ventured out of the kitchen taken the show to the stage. The latest of which included a debut slot…
