Kelly may have violated terms of his bond by associating with minors, a matter which could cost the singer his freedom before his impending trial on child pornography charges. On Friday morning, Kelly surrendered himself to authorities in Cook County, Illinois (see “R. Kelly Back In Chicago; June 26 Court Date Set”).

An upcoming release of live Dead Kennedys’ recordings called Mutiny on the Bay has exacerbated the punk pioneers’ state of mutiny from outspoken ex-frontman Jello Biafra. While Kennedys’ guitarist East Bay Ray, bassist Klaus Fluoride and drummer J.H. Peligro are endorsing the latest goods, Biafra is in… Read more »

Signs of success are everywhere for up-and-coming pop-punkers New Found Glory – from the single “Hit or Miss” gaining radio spins and the increasing number of concertgoers who sing along to it, to the growing size of the venues where the group perform and the increasingly comfortable mode of transportation that takes them there. One clue, however, is reserved for only the worthiest targets of admiration. “We had our first crier at a Sam Goody in-store,” guitarist Chad Gilbert admitted. Apparently some young lady was so taken with being in the presence of Gilbert, singer Jordan Pundik, guitarist Steve Klein,… Read more »
