The LA-based singer-songwriter Anna St. Louis has long been a fixture of the greater Woodsist universe, a loose coalition of rootsy, artsy underground acts centered on the upstate New York psych-folk band Woods. Jarvis Taveniere is a core member of Woods who has collaborated with lots of great artists over the years. So it’s exciting but not especially surprising that the two of them have teamed up to form a new band called Panamint. What is surprising is their early choice of repertoire.
An Illinois teacher — and the mother of the rock star Tom Morello — she took on Tipper Gore during culture war skirmishes over warning labels on records.
As of this summer, it has been 40 years since Eric B. and Rakim released their debut single “Eric B. Is President.” That’s the song that introduced Rakim to the world, and his hard-nosed but quietly tricky style instantly made him one of history’s greatest rappers and put him in top-dive discussions for eternity. After a very long absence and a whole lot of nostalgia-circuit touring, Rakim returned with 2024’s G.O.D.’s Network (Reb7rth), his first album in 15 years. Rakim followed it with The Rebirth last year, and now he’s announcing a collaborative album that he made with two other great veteran rappers who adapted their own versions of his unflappable style.
Jay Weinberg has revealed that legal restrictions prevented him from collaborating with other artists and that part of his creativity 'was dying' as a result. Continue reading…
Gore metal pioneers EXHUMED are pleased to announce the second leg of their North American tour this Fall! The Redder Asphalt Tour 2026 will commence on November 7th and run through December 6th. Support will be provided by Jarhead Fertilizer, Savage Master, and Molder.
Bassist Ross Sewage comments, “EXHUMED is firing on all cylinders to get back on the long and grinding road for the sequel to our Red Asphalt North American tour. You thought we did a drive by on your town last tour? Wrong! We were just waiting for the right time to crash the party. This time we’re taking our warnings about reckless road warriors and dipstick drivers up north, way north, including the Great White North! EXHUMED is finally returning to the land of snow and Timmy Ho’s! Buckle those seat belts, kids, it’s going to be a helluva ride!”

EXHUMED will be touring in support of their critically adored Red Asphalt full-length, released earlier this year on Relapse Records.
The latest wrong turn from the driving force of gore metal, Red Asphalt crashes the band’s hook-laden, high-speed deathgrind into whiplash-inducing grooves and dangerous musical curves. The record serves as a love letter to the road – horrific accidents, vehicular homicide, defective cars, gore-filled instructional videos, zombified biker gangs, and more. True to the band’s spirit, Red Asphalt drags the listener through a whirlwind of riffy madness.
Tracks like the aptly titled “Unsafe At Any Speed,” “Shovelhead,” and “The Iron Graveyard” ooze with sleaze and groove while retaining all of the high-octane, full-throttle, white-knuckle madness you’ve come to demand from EXHUMED. Red Asphalt inarguably serves as one of 2026’s most frenetic, unhinged slabs of sonic obliteration.
