Former Of Mice and Men Singer Austin Carlile Denies Sexual Assault Accusations
Former Of Mice and Men singer Austin Carlile has denied the sexual assault accusations that were made against him last week. Carlile released a statement in an Instagram post.

Perfume Genius – “Fade Into You” (Mazzy Star Cover)
Mazzy Star’s 1994 single “Fade Into You” is a perfect song — a swooning goth-country love-waltz that’s still fully capable of making you swoon 26 years later. It’s not the sort of song that anyone can improve on, and it’s got to be an intimidating thing to try to cover. But Perfume Genius is a […]

The Fiery Furnaces Share First New Song In 10 Years: Listen
The Fiery Furnaces, the perversely unique musical project of siblings Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger, was supposed to be on the road playing reunion shows this summer.

Weezer Turn 'Hero' Into Piano Ballad on 'Fallon'
When Weezer released their latest song, “Hero,” back in May, it became a touching tribute to the healthcare workers working on the frontlines to battle COVID-19. But the band’s performance of the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, showed a new side to the otherwise epic track. Rivers Cuomo sat at his piano […]
Swae Lee – “Reality Check”
When you see that Swae Lee, the sing-rapping half of Rae Sremmurd, has a new single called “Reality Check,” you might think that he’s the latest in the recent wave of not-really-political rappers to come out with a Black Lives Matter protest song. Nope! “Reality Check,” it turns out, is more about existing in a […]
