Part 2 of my in-studio interview with Joe Trohman of Fall Out Boy, The Damned Things, With Knives. Listen to part one here. Trohman discussed his new project, With Knives; “Josh [Newton] had been working on what we was actually calling With Knives for a while – and he was just recording these really cool instrumental tracks, really cool 90’s noise rock type stuff. And I loved it. I told him, “That stuff is awesome, what’re you going to do with it?” A couple days after I told him that, he said “…do you wanna do the band with me?”… Read more »

The Big Four tour, consisting of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, is playing just seven dates in Europe and nothing in North America, but headbangers on this side of the pond won’t have to miss out.
After weeks of speculation about who would be sharing the Ozzfest stage this summer with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Shadows Fall and Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society, the big secret’s finally out: Heavy metal quartet Mudvayne have been named the final mainstage act. A photo of the band was posted Monday morning (April 4) on the Ozzfest 2005 Web site, replacing the ominous band silhouette and large white question mark that appeared in that mystery spot ever since the roster was announced just a few weeks ago. There had been much speculation since the initial Ozzfest 2005 announcement concerning who… Read more »
The annual three-ring circus that is Ozzfest has become a perennial summer celebration of all things loud and abrasive over the last decade – and this summer’s lineup will not disappoint. Black Sabbath and British metal stalwarts Iron Maiden – who will be playing material exclusively from their first four albums – will share headlining duties, and they’ll be joined for the 26-city ride by Rob Zombie and a host of young metal bands, starting on July 15. Along with Sabbath, Maiden and Zombie, the main stage will also include Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall and Ozzfest regulars Zakk Wylde’s Black… Read more »

After a raucous summer tour, the pride of NYC hardcore’s scene, H2O, is back with a spankin’ new EP, “All We Want.” Set for release on October 29, 2002, this low-priced CD is sure to keep the band’s rabid fanbase satisfied until the release of their fifth full-length, tentatively scheduled for spring ‘03. “All We Want” is packaged in a special digipak and contains three new studio recordings, two live tracks and a video. True to the band’s DIY ethic, and harkening back to their earliest indie days, the EP’s recording session started August 25 and finished mixing a short… Read more »
The “boogeyman of rap” is busting his gun, pistol-whipping one of his cheating mate’s lovers, contemplating other grisly forms of violence and taking a leak on the White House lawn – and that’s just by the midpoint of The Eminem Show. Yes, ladies and gents, “Shady’s back,” as he proclaims in his first single, “Without Me,” and Eminem still has a lot to vent. As soon as the curtain opens on Em’s third solo album, it’s clear all of the rapper’s frustrations that have been building up over the last two years since The Marshall Mathers LP are going to… Read more »
He has a new record, Tarantula, in stores on December 18, but Mystikal seems to still be living by the title of one of his old songs, “Ready to Rumble.” On the LP’s first single, “Bouncin’ Back (Bumpin’ Me Against the Wall),” the New Orleans MC, who served in the Army during Operation Desert Storm, expresses his patriotism and his outrage against terrorism. “The hook is like, ‘You keep bumping me against a wall,’ ” said the Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams, who co-produced and sings on the track. ” ‘Yeah, I know I let you slide before/ But until you seen… Read more »
Top showbiz execs pledged Sunday to step up their contribution to the war effort after a meeting with White House senior advisor Karl Rove. Details of Hollywood’s multifront initiative will be forged over the next few weeks, but industry moguls made clear their desire to pitch in. The campaign will include helping the Bush Administration spread its message regarding the war on terrorism both at home and abroad, support for U.S. troops and buttressing resolve among the American public. “All of us in the industry have an incredible urge to do something,” said Paramount Pictures chief Sherry Lansing. One concrete… Read more »
