“She was living off a tightness in her chest: life.”
One of the most iconic pop-punk bands is apparently to receive their own “line” of Funko Pops!
3 Exits To Hattiesburg put out their sophomore album ‘Nevermore‘ in 2020. The group has won the 2018 SLM Best Local Band Award and toured the US East Coast in 2019 on the Runaways Tour. They also hosted their own festival in 2016 and again in 2018. The trio has extreme chemistry considering they’ve been close since – the now college students were in – third grade. They pull strong influence from bands like Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Blink-182. Their album was nothing sort of energetic, musically genius, and innovative.
Queen has recently attempted to record with Adam Lambert in hopes of creating a new album. They hadn’t released anything since 1995’s “Made In Heaven” that followed four years after Freddie passed away. They have, however, put out last year’s “You Are The Champions.” The song was ultimately a remastered version of “We Are the Champions,” dedicated to worldwide health care workers who have worked endlessly to treat every patient with COVID. While working with Adam Lambert on new work, they ended up forgetting about it (I’m quite good at doing that, forgetting.)
The Midnight Devils are a trio covered in glitter from head to toe crafted in the bloody heavens. The glam nerds put out their debut album in 2018 and have been touring ever since – having to stop recently due to COVID. The album, ‘Something Bigger‘ is spine-tingling, thrilling, and elegantly ear-shattering. At the moment, the group is working on their sophomore release and will be recording with Chip Z’Nuff in Chicago as soon as they get “the all-clear.”
Esme Bianco – star of HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ – recently came out about the abuse she dealt with for years. By now, Manson can’t call the claims of abuse “bullshit” Evan Wood, previous personal assistant, ex-bandmate Wes Borland, Trent Reznor, and several other exes have called the filthy man out. Despite this, he still labels them as “horrible distortions of reality.”
Indus Valley Kings is a hard rock band from Long Island, NY. The group recently released their brutal album ‘Indus Valley Kings.’ The album was remarkable and gloomy in the most positive way possible; it was unrestrained, charming, and made me want to turn the volume up as high as it could go.
The Nova Twins (Love and South) have recently gained the spotlight as a POC alternative rock duo. Not only is their music perfectly dance-punk and beautifully hardcore, but they are also striving to bring awareness to the POC rock community considering white males have dominated rock for years.
Rhino Records recently announced Fleetwood Mac’s deluxe album ‘Live.’ It made its initial debut in the late 1980s and will be available later this year. Major Fleetwood Mac fans – like myself – are practically shitting their pants as we speak. The 3 CD and 2 LP vinyl edition will be purchasable by April 9th. However, most pre-orders are available now.
Young, Planetary is an upcoming rock band based in Boise, ID. They released their album ‘Locations I Can’t Place‘ last year. The album has quite a large 2000s punk feel, from the catchy lyrics to that beloved raspy-screaming-effect all the way to their radiantly skilled drummer.
Elliot Mazer – better known as Neil Young’s producer – passed at 79 after suffering from dementia for years. Boonie Murray confirmed to Rolling Stone that a heart attack caused his death. Though he is already greatly missed, it’s not hard to say he lived his life to the very fullest. “Elliot loved music,” stated Murray. “He loved what he did; he was a perfectionist. Everybody has so much respect for him, and he’s been suffering for a couple years.”
