Halloween is the time to put on your favorite spooky tracks or just play all the songs you love year-round for your normie friends. Of course, myriad instrumental songs are instantly recognizable and iconic, such as in the case of A24’s Talk To Me’s “Le Monde” by Richard Carter, taking over TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Pupil Slicer are one of the most vibrant bands making their way through the UK heavy music underground, and “No Temple” cements that fact.
On the one hand there’s Drew Barrymore. On the other there’s Tina Yothers. Both were child stars, both were in the position of having to stave off “has-been” status by the time they were teenagers.

The three remaining members of Rage Against the Machine have created a new band with former Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell, the group’s publicist confirmed on Tuesday.
