Jared Leto’s Joker Look Has Broken Everyone Whether you’re a comic lover or not, the picture of Jared Leto’s new look as the Joker for Suicide Squad leaked and it’s… not disappointing. It’s a creepy “I’m going to kill everyone” look, and with Leto’s extreme acting skills already behind just the picture, I’m seriously excited about the promise this role holds for him. Not only was I excited about this announcement of Jared Leto, but I was overly ecstatic when I SAW HOW HE LOOKS. It’s just so creepy, and he seems like the perfect person to play a joking… Read more »
Over the weekend in Cleveland, Green Day joined the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, and so many more with their induction into the Hall of Fame. This was huge news for Alternative music seeing as Green Day is really the first modern punk band to be inducted. And who better to announce their induction than potential future inductees Fall Out Boy? The acceptance speeches could have brought any Green Day fan to tears as Tre Cool thanked Fall Out Boy for making him tear up. He went on to also thank his family, friends, made… Read more »
TheBillboardChart Needs a Streaming Makeover With All Time Low’s number one album debut debunked by the new Billboard standard, many people in our scene posed the question if we need to rethink the way Billboard included streaming into it’s tallies. Right now, every 1,500 streams of a song off an album = 1 album sale. Thomas Nassiff of Absolutepunk wrote a wonderful short piece on the matter. In my opinion, it’s crap. A successful single does not an album make. If that were true, Vanilla Ice would have probably been much more successful and have never gotten arrested for stealing.… Read more »
Blending the perfect bits of Pinback, Q And Not U, Cap N’ Jazz, and their own personal driving, noted, guitar charged breakdowns—we can’t get enough of Dryjacket’s latest EP.
idobi senior writer Catherine Yi sat down with OWEL to discuss the emotional rollercoaster of crowdfunding, touring smart, and playing the Michael Cera equivalent of a show.
Tom Delonge Released A New Video And I’m Done I’m not going to get over it. I will never let go. The music is supposedly supposed to be meant as a Blink-182 track, and the video is filled with anger directed a drum sets and a bass guitar! Real subtle, DeLonge. Seriously considering getting him a kiddie pool for all of his tears at this point. In all honesty, it’s just bad form to force your band’s hand and then come out with a music video that seems as if you are blaming them completely. I tried to watch the… Read more »
Tom DeLonge’s newest mission is to go to Mars, and is asking his fans to help him raise $2 billion dollars for the total cost of his trip.
All Time Low drummer Rian Dawson will soon part ways with the band and turn his talents to the big screen.
In 1919 four film industry pioneers formed United Artists. Chaplin, Pickford, Fairbanks, and Griffith decided they had had enough of non-artists working with their art and they took control of their careers. It’s hard to believe, but it’s been almost 100 years since then, but something similar is bubbling up in the music industry. Meet Tidal, Jay-Z’s new streaming service. He has given 16 notable names (and maybe more) equity in his new company to join him in his streaming revolution. Maybe you’ve heard of some of these people? Kayne… Madonna… Two punks named Daft. First, let’s all thank Jay-Z… Read more »
I’m glad this movie exists; more movies need to be made addressing mental health issues—even if they’re comedies.
