In 2025, emo veterans Algernon Cadwallader and pop-punk cult favorites the Starting Line both released their first albums in over a decade. (The Starting Line, for what it’s worth, also got namechecked on Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department.) While all that was going on, it turns out Algernon guitarist Joe Reinhart and Starting Line…

Imagine a really scary version of the Hold Steady. As in: The Hold Steady don’t just record triumphant story-songs about dangerous, desperate people; they are dangerous, desperate people. This is a wild oversimplification, but that’s basically what’s going on with the band known as Skinhead. Skinhead started out as a solo project for Joshua Long,…

The Great Darkness Returns to Europe:
A shroud of sound and shadow is set to descend upon Europe this late spring, as ABIGAIL WILLIAMS (US) announce their long-awaited return to the continent for a series of live performances across May and June. Renowned for their evocative blend of black metal and cinematic intensity, the band will once again bring their immersive sonic landscapes to audiences across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.
Following years of refining their sound into something increasingly expansive and haunting, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS continue to stand as one of the most distinctive voices in the modern extreme metal landscape. This upcoming run of dates promises to channel that evolution into a live setting, offering audiences an experience that is as enveloping as it is unrelenting.
For the European mainland leg of the tour, the band will be joined by Dutch act SHAGOR (NL), whose raw and obscure take on black metal will provide a fitting counterpoint, deepening the atmosphere of each night. Together, the two bands will shape a sequence of performances steeped in darkness, tension and intensity.
Divided into two distinct chapters, the tour will first traverse the UK and Ireland with a select run of exclusive ABIGAIL WILLIAMSperformances, including an appearance at Fortress Festival. The journey will then continue across mainland Europe, where SHAGOR will join as main support for a series of carefully selected dates, culminating in a final gathering in the Netherlands.

This month, two very different explorations of pop-star life will come to multiplexes — the probable-trainwreck Michael Jackson biopic Michael and the David Lowery A24 psychological thriller Mother Mary. In the latter, Anne Hathaway plays the titular fictional singer, with Micaela Coel as an estranged friend. As the trailer makes clear, Mother Mary has a…
