This record is rooted in the feelings of revenge and vindication. These are emotions that can either push us forward or hold us back. There's a duality to them. They can fuel growth, drive ambition, and help us rise above what's tried to break us, but they can also become destructive if we let them consume us.

No, it doesn't come out in May. We're putting out our first song and video in May. The record is not coming out till September. We pushed it back a little bit. We just had to do a couple of other things to it. It's coming out in September, but the first song and video will be out in May.

Every member of BTS launched fully-fledged solo eras, complete with new albums, singles, tours, guest appearances, and more. Each member used the hiatus to explore a different corner of his artistic identity, from Suga's rock-infused Agust D shows to V's jazz-tinted solo debut.

I started writing this album because I was seeing so much of the world and watching what was happening. I felt like I had something important to say. I was writing this almost for necessity because there were so many people not saying what needed to be said. I feel like I'm a student of Nina Simone, and she said, 'the purpose of an artist is to reflect the times they live in.'

We were pretty stoked to make another album after the success of our previous album and its single 'Pepper.' Capitol Records was stoked to get that next record until our relationship soured.

With our music, I particularly like to be on the extremes of things. So if it's supposed to be pretty in your face, I like to be fairly in your face. And then at the same time, if it's kind of warm and gentle, I like that to be as warm and gentle as possible. I'm interested in those juxtapositions and making those, that's how we want it to come across.

It started out as an album full of death metal songs with speed and aggression. Then Chris had the brilliant idea to keep half of those death metal songs and add some groovier songs in the vein of the early SIX FEET UNDER material.

I didn't want to necessarily make a Memoryland 2, but to me this is an organic successor to that album. The overall vibe of L.U.V. is meant to be sort of Eurodance with a sophisticated edge. It's music for an adult lifestyle.

Deeply influenced by both gospel and soul, by his teenage years he was a guitarist backing Z.Z. Hill and Joe Tex. Rawls went on to serve as long-time musical director for O.V. Wright, a role he maintained until Wright's death in 1980.

At some point in making this record I realized the album I wanted to make was one that reflected my identity as both Iranian and American. Pushing the most Iranian elements right up against the most American ones brought me a certain kind of joy. The first time I put microtonal saz melodies over Western guitar chords, I was thrown off by the way the two rubbed together. But the more I listened the more I became drawn to that rub.

We've both been fans of Nate's for a long time, and loved getting to rework one of our favorite This is Lorelei songs. His natural way with lyrics and melodies made it easy to translate the song to a different place for this project. It also happened to be the song that started Power Snatch.

We couldn't fucking wait. Personally, I loved it all. For me, the attitude was like, 'let's work hard and let's GO.' - Keanu Reeves on making the new album

The new album Everything Must Go arrives on April 24 via Bad Time Records and Community Records, and first single 'Free Dom' is out now. It finds Bad Operation doing what they do best, fusing 2 Tone's influence with fresh, urgent new ideas and coming out with something danceable, catchy, and powerful.

Panopticon and Catharsis are doing a short co-headlining East Coast tour together this fall! The tour kicks off in Boston on October 8 before hitting Brooklyn's Market Hotel on October 9 and then shows in Philly and Baltimore. Tickets go on sale Friday (3/6).

Fresh off her performance at Super Bowl XL at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara - where she delivered a winning pregame rendition of "America the Beautiful" - singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile returns to the Bay Area for a concert at Chase Center in San Francisco on March 6.

Seefeel will return with their first full-length in 15 years, Sol.Hz, on May 1, via their longtime label Warp. The follow-up to their 2024 mini-albums Everything Squared and Squared Roots will arrive in the middle of a tour of mainland Europe that starts in April.

'Hymn From the Hills' is about living on the outside, by force or by choice, and what is lost and gained in the process. The track continues Poison Ruin's metallic fantasy-punk hybrid sound, featuring a driving twin-guitar attack reminiscent of traditional heavy metal in the vein of Thin Lizzy married to vocals straight out of the Philly punk gutters, offering a keen union of high and low.

I'm blessed to have T Bone in my life right now and working with me on these records. After we did the last record, which I love listening to, this one just sort of happened. I like to say sometimes I make the right moves, like you can go left or right at any point, and one of the right moves was hooking up with T Bone for Look Up, and now for this one, which I'm calling Long Long Road, because I've been on a long long road.

Prince Daddy & the Hyena have announced a new album, Hotwire Trip Switch, which reunites them with Counter Intuitive Records (after a stint on Pure Noise) and producer Joe Reinhart of Algernon Cadwallader (who produced the band's 2016 debut LP I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving). It comes out on April 17.

I belong to a current of poetry that is meant to be read in public. Houellebecq's statement reflects his philosophy on artistic expression, emphasizing the performative nature of his work across multiple mediums. His musical recordings and public performances demonstrate this commitment to bringing poetry and artistic vision directly to audiences through various channels beyond traditional literary publication.

It is Moby at the peak of his powers but there's one track that stands especially tall. It's Harbour and it features a sublime vocal from Sinéad O'Connor. The song, stately and seductive, is yet another reminder of the rare gifts of the late singer.

"The whole project is destined for this year," Shatner said in a press release issued by Cleopatra Records. "I hope you will join me in the exploration." Few details were revealed beyond that, though Shatner did discuss the project's origin: a one-off spoken-word intro piece for Nuclear Messiah, the metal supergroup helmed by ex-Megadeth axeman Chris Poland. The experience was apparently so inspiring, Shatner set out to create a full-blown metal album of his own.
