Violet Grohl releases his highly anticipated one today debut album “Be Sweet To Me”. Coinciding with the release of the album, the video clips of the song “Bugs in the Cake”, directed by Nikki Milan Houston. Recorded at the Los Angeles home studio of producer Justin Raisen, known for his work with Kim Gordon and Charli From a sound point of view, “Be Sweet To Me” draws inspiration from the alternative rock of the late Eighties and early Nineties, recalling artists and bands such as Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, The Breeders, PJ Harvey, The Muffs, Björk, Alice in Chains, L7…
Ministers they return with a new recording project. Available from May 29th Shadow SongsEP released by Woodworm which collects songs left out of the band's albums over the years and now recovered in a new guise. The release comes after the tour of Aurora Popular and will also accompany the summer 2026 live dates already announced at Italian festivals. The album was born from an experiment started in 2022, when some tracks were sent to fans through the group's official newsletter. The request was simple: listen to those pieces without spreading them online. A pact which, according to what the…
There is a fairly precise image that measures the weight of 13 years of absence: a room packed with motionless people in front of a bright red hexagon. Not a normal record preview, rather a collective liturgy with the audience arranged around the signal in a religious manner, waiting for their own (and new) epiphany to arrive from the speakers. From Hexagon Sun onwards, the hexagon belongs to the visual lexicon of Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin, the two entities behind the Boards of Canada, but in Inferno Sessions (which were presented to the public for the first time) ceases…
There was a time during the Beatles' rise to fame that Paul McCartney thought he had found the one place he could roam without being spotted. During an interview on The Zane Lowe Show to discuss his deeply nostalgic new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lanethe 83-year-old musician shared memories of navigating the early days of Beatlemania alongside John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. When looking back at that “very intense period of time” in the Sixties when the band shot to the top of the charts worldwide, Lowe asked McCartney how he managed to “remain relatable” and enjoy…
It's not often that you hear songs with catchy melodies, meticulous production and extravagant instrumental solutions, all together, one after the other, in the same album. When this happens, the first thing that automatically comes to mind is: “If this record had been released thirty or forty years ago, it could have become a classic”. This is what I thought even while listening to the debut album by Messiness, a Milanese band already active since 2024, created by Massimiliano Raffa, a multifaceted musician and professor of Sociology at the University of Milan-Bicocca. Having set aside the Johann Sebastian Punk project,…
Vybes returns with a new single, available in digital stores from May 29, 2026 For Artist First. Sexuality, described as a space of personal freedom, is the center of the piece which is entitled – precisely – Sex. The single arrives as the Roman artist announces the release of his first album, expected for the next one June 19th. Vybes addresses sexuality between lightness and reflection With his new piece, Vybes addresses a topic often discussed, but not always considered in its cultural and generational changes. Behind an immediate title, Sex try to broaden the discussion beyond the physical theme,…
Stewart Adamson looked uncomfortable. It wasn’t that he had never appeared in a music video before. As a lanky 20-something, Adamson had previously jutted around with the Scottish punks who made up his early band, Skids, in the clip for “Into the Valley,” which climbed to No. 10 on UK charts. But in the footage for “In a Big Country,” Adamson looks like your coworker plowing through karaoke, contorting their face into pained shapes after a miserable week at the office. Imagine if, sometime in the winter of 1983, you had muted MTV to make a sandwich or use the…
'Immediate transparency and fair remuneration in artificial intelligence systems' Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM
Something uncanny happens during “upstairs at els,” the closing track on Bleachers’ new album. Jack Antonoff is weaving through a party on the roof of Electric Lady Studios, picking out faces from the mass of people: “Inside Jack and Carly Rae/Part of the band, Laura, Oli, and Ray.” Turns out that “Jack” is Electric Lady’s recording engineer, Jack Manning, but for a moment, I thought Antonoff was recounting an out-of-body experience, a glimpse of himself from outside himself. Even since Bleachers became a proper band with 2024’s self-titled LP, the project remains, at its core, the musings and ruminations of…
