  • Justin Timberlake Apologizes For Past Beatboxing

    As far back as he can remember, Justin Timberlake always wanted to be a human beatbox. Even in his *NSYNC days, Timberlake would take every available opportunity to go dorm-room Rahzel on the world. Maybe he was doing it even before then. Maybe he was getting spit all over his hands on The Mickey Mouse Club. I’m not a deep enough Timberlake scholar to know the extent of it. But by the time he reached international fame, Timberlake would think nothing of giving himself a pshh-ficky-hugga-hugga showcase for entire minutes at a time, as he did during *NSYNC’s HBO special in 2000.

  • Complete List Of Peach Pit Songs From A to Z

    Peach Pit Songs

    Peach Pit formed in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2016 around singer and rhythm guitarist Neil Smith, lead guitarist Christopher Vanderkooy, bassist Peter Wilton, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi. The four musicians developed a guitar-driven indie sound that mixes jangling pop melodies, surf-rock color, and melancholy storytelling, a combination the band has playfully described as “chewed bubblegum pop.” Their early recordings quickly found an audience online, while the group’s relaxed visual style and increasingly elaborate guitar work helped give Peach Pit an identity that was recognizable well beyond Vancouver’s indie scene. The band’s first substantial release was the Sweet FA EP, which

  • Tom Morello Clarifies He Does Vote, Just Not For “Corporate Democrats”

    Last weekend, former Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello held his star-studded one-day Power To The People festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. The whole event was framed as a left-wing political gathering, and Morello joined Bruce Springsteen for a set of protest songs. Before the show, Morello did a Rolling Stone interview, and he went viral for saying that he “certainly did not” vote for Kamala Harris.

  • ALCEST Immortalize Breathtaking Festival Set With First-Ever Live Album “Live At Hellfest 2022”

    French atmospheric metal pioneers Alcest have officially announced the release of their long-awaited first live album, Live at Hellfest 2022, set for release on December 4th, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.

    Captured during a spellbinding appearance at one of heavy music’s most revered gatherings, Live at Hellfest 2022 stands as a monument to the group’s transcendent live presence. The performance seamlessly weaves together evocative fan favorites spanning their entire career prior to 2022, tracing an emotional trajectory from their groundbreaking 2007 debut Souvenirs d’un autre monde through to 2019’s acclaimed Spiritual Instinct.

    To mark the announcement, Alcest have unveiled the album’s first single, “Protection (Live At Hellfest 2022)”. Listeners can stream the audio track now or experience the intense live performance video below.

    Alcest are currently finishing their Fall 2026 North American tour as special guests on Mastodon’s The Poisonous Weapons Tour, which also features Deafheaven.

    Live at Hellfest 2022 arrives on all major streaming platforms on December 4th. Physical collectors can pre-order the exclusive, limited-edition 2LP Vinyl (Natural w/ Black Smoke finish) starting today.

    For principal songwriter and frontman Neige, Alcest has always been a gateway to the otherworldly, a means of exploring his spirituality. An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, Alcest seem to dip their toes in a multitude of musical genres without ever quite fitting in. “In the metal scene Alcest is a weird band, in the indie/post-rock scene Alcest is a weird band- we never quite fit in,” Neige reflects. “This is how I feel in life, always an outsider; It’s not a problem, it’s just the way it is.”

  • ALTER BRIDGE Releases “Tested And Able” Music Video From Their Eighth Studio Album

    Alter Bridge has released the official video for “Tested And Able,” a song from its self-titled eighth studio album, just ahead of the last U.S. leg of the What Lies Within tour. The clip is built around the band’s live show and aims to drop viewers into the same wall of energy that Myles Kennedy (vocals, guitar), Mark Tremonti (guitar, vocals), Brian Marshall (bass) and Scott Phillips (drums) have been delivering on stages for more than 20 years.

    The final run of U.S. dates, with support from Big Wreck and Tim Montana, starts Nov. 5 in Philadelphia and ends Dec. 5 in Reno, Nev. Stops in between include Cleveland, San Antonio, Anaheim, Calif., and Denver. The setlist mixes material from across the catalog with songs from the new album, and it is the band’s last chance to play U.S. stages this year.

    Tour dates:

    11/05 – Philadelphia – Franklin Music Hall
    11/10 – Cleveland
    11/19 – San Antonio
    11/22 – Anaheim, Calif.
    11/30 – Denver
    12/05 – Reno, Nev. – Silver Legacy Grande Exposition Hall

    Alter Bridge formed in Florida in 2004 around four players with a shared history, and the band has since become one of modern hard rock’s most durable acts. Kennedy, Tremonti, Marshall and Phillips have spent two decades building a catalog known for smart songwriting and serious chops, backed by a loyal worldwide fan base. The debut, One Day Remains, landed in the Billboard 200 Top 5, went gold and started a streak of six straight Top 20 debuts.

    The résumé is long. Alter Bridge has sold out London’s O2 Arena and Royal Albert Hall and piled up nearly one billion streams. Guitarist named the “Blackbird” solo the “Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time,” and “Isolation,” from AB III, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. The 2013 album Fortress earned rare perfect scores from Kerrang! and Total Guitar, and Walk The Sky topped the Top Rock Albums chart. In 2022, Pawns & Kings got 4.5 stars out of five from Classic Rock, which called it “the Rolls-Royce of Alter Bridge records,” and picked up praise from American Songwriter, Guitar World and Loudwire. Billboard has called the band “one of America’s premiere hard rock quartets.”
