Forget everything you know about Danny Worsnop. With his new project, We Are Harlot, the group resurrects classic rock in their debut album, creating a style that’s rock ‘n’ roll meets 80s hair metal with a dose of alternative country rock.
The Selfie Sticks Have Been Banned From More Music Festivities A couple of months ago I told you about a venue in the U.K. banning selfie sticks. Well, it just got better. Both Coachella and Lollapalooza have now also banned the death sticks that people use to take selfies with (side note: I totally wasn’t using one at the Grand Canyon last weekend or anything…) Anyway, this is a VERY good thing. Music festivals often involve an abundance of of alcohol, crazy people, and unmentionables with medical cards that validate their “back problems”. We don’t need to add metal poles… Read more »

We are usually skeptical about the influence of sponsors in underground metal and hardcore but we suspend our criticism when Game Of Thrones is involved. HBO is serving Killswitch Engage-flavored Kool Aid and we are shamelessly drinking every last drop. The extended version of “Loyalty” has the audio from this unforgettable scene (spoiler alert) in season 4. In all honesty, the song itself is much heavier than we expected.

I Call Fives put a pop-punk twist on the 90s alt-rock gem “How’s It Going to Be” originally by Third Eye Blind this week on (Un)covered.
