The artist's divisive new song arrived alongside an Aidan Zamiri-directed video playing on classic rock tropes Charli XCX has been taking in all the contrasting reactions to her latest song, “Rock Music.” The artist's divisive new track arrived last week alongside an Aidan Zamiri-directed video that plays on classic rock tropes. “I think the dance floor is dead,” Charli sings on the glitching chorus. “So now we're making rock music.” Rock and dance music defenders alike have reached for their pitchforks, but Charli isn't interested in debating or explaining the song to them. “I'm not gonna explain where I was…

Nick Cave has revealed The Bad Seeds are “messing around” in the studio with the “vague idea of making a new record”. The band released their most recent studio album ‘Wild God’ – their 18th in total – in 2024, but after two years, it looks like their minds are now shifting to their next LP. Writing on his Red Hand Files blog this week, Cave let slip about the group’s current activity while answering a fan’s question about his sleeping habits. After explaining that his nights tend to be made up of two separate three-hour sleeps, he said after waking up and putting on a suit,…
We meet Kneecap backstage at Kingston’s Circuit ahead of an intimate album launch show on St George’s Day (no reader, they do not celebrate). It’s been about a year and half since we last spoke. “A pretty uneventful few months I must say,” jokes Mo Chara, given the lifetime of headlines and controversy the Belfast rap trio have packed into that time, and the hours he spent in front of a judge for a now thrown-out terrorism charge at the hands of the UK government. They fought the case with everything they had, and now again with their bold and ballsy…
For Kacey Musgraves’ latest act, she’s putting the cowboy hat back on. ‘Middle Of Nowhere’, the Texan artist’s seventh album, unfolds like an old Western film.

Stepping back into the saddle – she literally arrived to her Coachella set on horseback last month – this version of Musgraves is the closest we’ve had to her early…
Gen protest songsfrom the Clash to Rage Against the Machine via Public Enemy and – why not! – the Modena City Ramblers on May 1st. Then for years, apart from a few pop exceptions such as Kendrick Lamar, nothing more: a constant ebb until last year when Kneecap, a hardcore rap trio from Belfast, took to the stage at Glastonbury, despite the fact that the English Prime Minister had asked for their removal from the line-up due to the accusations of terrorism leveled against the singer Mo Chara. The Northern Irish band responded from the stage with “fuck Keir Starmer”…
Four hours after the announcement of the new Rolling Stones album Foreign Tongues and the release of the single In the StarsConan O'Brien took the stage at the Weylin in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in front of an audience of Leonardo DiCaprio, Christie Brinkley, Andrew Watt, Odessa A'zion and virtually every New York music journalist.«Let me describe the scene. In 1962 a group of young people got together in London. They play in tiny clubs, but have big dreams. They move to slightly larger venues and hope that one day they will achieve great success. Unfortunately, that day never came. They didn't…
