Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale is the embodiment of rock ‘n’ roll spirit, so it should come as no surprise that she is not keen on the use of backing tracks onstage. It disappoints her when she learns of her favorite bands who use the tactic, but respected their right to do so. If Halestorm elected

SAYMYNAME is back with two brand new tracks! Known as the “Godfather of Hard-Trap” to fans, the California native brings versatility and vitality with his latest Elevated EP. The first track on the EP is the trap anthem “Alright” featuring Yung Pinch. Combining Pinch’s nasally vocals with glitzy melodies, SAYMYNAME crafts a catchy hip-hop/EDM crossover

Bandcamp is giving back again with its Juneteenth fundraiser for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In light of recent events, the platform has waived its share of sales on several occasions to raise money for coronavirus (COVID-19) relief as well as organizations in the black community. Not just once or

Anonymity isn’t new in rock and metal. Some bands wish to maintain hidden identities with the intent of allowing listeners to solely focus on the music, but who doesn’t love solving a mystery? Buckle up, sleuths, because we’ve got a new band for you to uncover — meet Sleep Token. The unidentified band have been

We’ve been waiting for Baauer’s sophomore album, PLANET’S MAD, for a while. We’ve actually been waiting a little while further as he delayed the release while the BLM protests were in full swing. It’s odd then that he’s chosen to release the full album tomorrow, on Juneteenth, but watchful eyes will notice that Baauer debuted his

“It’s the rise and the fall / The ones who stand tall / The dark before dawn / The need to move on / I think it’s time to break the cycle.“ Those lyrics were penned by Fire From the Gods‘ AJ Channer in 2019, but the time has never been better to express the

In talent buying and show booking, there’s always been an unspoken give and take between artist and promoter. Guarantees, cancellation fees, and standard expectations have been a norm for decades — but we’re nowhere near a norm right now due to COVID-19. As shows begin to come back next year, Live Nation, one of the

The revolution will be … mashed up? Two of the most political and social-minded acts in music — Rage Against the Machine and Run the Jewels — were set to tour together this year, but fans can still get their fix on a new mashup mixtape put together by DJ Skarface. For those who’ve followed

Deadmau5 mixes are a dime a dozen, but that doesn’t mean we appreciate them any less. On the 90th episode of Mau5trap radio, the label boss himself takes duties into his own hands, whereas it’s often a guest DJ that plays, like Speaker Honey, Jay Robinson, Sian, or more. On this episode, you’ll get to

James Hetfield has had quite the quarantine. He put his craftsman skills to the test and made two coffee tables in his garage in Colorado, which are currently being raffled off until the end of the month. His latest feat is a book for those coffee tables called Reclaimed Rust: The Four-Wheeled Creations Of James Hetfield.

Bassnectar and Jantsen, Lido and Jaden Smith, Flux Pavilion and Doctor P… there are a lot of classic combos in music that, whenever they work together, we know it’s going to be exceptional. Excision and Downlink are one of those combinations and they never fail to bring something new to the table. The last time

2020 has thrown a wrench into a lot of plans, but Black Veil Brides are making good on a promise first discussed last year by announcing the release of their re-recorded debut album, now titled Re-Stitch These Wounds, for its 10th anniversary. The band currently has a countdown clock on a special site to promote

Despite major 2020 cancellations, Eric Prydz is moving forward with his signature HOLOSPHERE experience — but you’ll have to wait until next year to see it live. The post below simply reads “2021…” and tags official accounts of both Tomorrowland and Creamfields, where Prydz is set to bring back his HOLOSPHERE experience. Matched with music and incredible visuals,

Motorhead icon Lemmy Kilmister previously graced the big screen in the 2010 documentary Lemmy, but the director behind that film is set to oversee a new biopic based on the singer’s life. So who should play Lemmy? The film will follow Lemmy’s life from growing up in Stoke on Trent to becoming a roadie for Jimi

This past weekend, Proximity and Brownies & Lemonade put on the second edition of their Digital Mirage Online Music Festival with 58 artists from around the world. With increased production value from artists, including Chet Porter’s Underwater Set and San Holo’s Slow Motion Set, there was way more of a visual component to each artist’s

System of a Down‘s lyrics have leaned political at times over the years, but as we’ve seen in recent weeks, the political views of the band members themselves don’t always line up. In a new social media post by singer Serj Tankian, he questions how someone who loves or plays along to their song “Temper”
