Usually performers have to worry about fans in the audience throwing projectiles at them — just earlier this month, Billy Strings was the latest victim, getting hit in the head with an object rumored to be a lighter. However, sometimes it’s your own bandmates that get you. Last night in Springfield, IL, Matchbox Twenty’s Rob Thomas swung the mic stand …

Maybe it’s news to you that Columbia House was still operational in 2026. It was news to me, but that news is immediately invalidated by newer news: After 71 years, the longstanding mail-order media club is shutting down next month, as the YouTube channel Channel 33 RPM and website Cord Cutters News point out. The post Columbia House Is Finally …

We’ve already posted the extremely fucking sick lead single “Wall Of Skulls,” and now they’ve got a new banger called “Death Knell.” It’s an all-out thrasher with some gigantic riffs and a percussive breakdown that puts me in that old Sepultura mood. …

Way back in 2014, when she was just coming off of the success of her mega-hit “Call Me Maybe” and working on her critically beloved album E·MO·TION, Carly Rae Jepsen made her Broadway debut, playing the lead role in the musical Cinderella.

Canadian treasure Andy Shauf made the leap to ANTI- and enjoyed a big breakthrough a decade ago with The Party, a concept album full of songs written from the perspective of different people at the same gathering. The Saskatchewan singer-songwriter is celebrating that 10-year milestone this fall with a deluxe reissue featuring previously unreleased tracks. The Party (10th Anniversary Edition) …

The headline up above? It’s a lie. The pit is always for you. It’s for everyone. One of the cool things about a hardcore show is that there is absolutely no barrier to participation.
