Spending several years away from the limelight has not changed the Prodigy. It took only one broadcast of their new single and the band that sparked debate with “Smack My Bitch Up” is already stirring up controversy. “Baby’s Got a Temper,” which debuted on Britain’s Radio 1 Thursday night, was heavily edited by the station because of the track’s many references to Rohypnol, a tranquilizer that causes muscle relaxation and memory loss and is often called the “date rape drug.” The song, which the Prodigy performed at last month’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, features Keith Flint singing lyrics… Read more »

SOFT PLAY have made their big return with a song serving as a glorious clap back to those who criticised the band for changing their name.
This week, Basslines and Protest Signs looks at the reaction to this year’s inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, iand why every one of them is valid and deserved.
— As UK music festivals go, the Phoenix Festival doesn’t have the storied history of Glastonbury or Reading. It only ran for five years, between 1993 and ’97, but it was located pretty close to my home in the Midlands region of England when I was growing up, and so I went to the 1995 event and the two that followed. The 1996 Phoenix Festival is the festival that I judge all festivals on. So high was the bar it set, I’ve yet to see it be bettered (and I’ve attended Glastonburys, Readings, Coachellas, Riot Fests, Rocklahomas, Download/Doningtons, and more… Read more »
