Ahead of its release, fans can hear a newly shared demo of “I Don’t Know.” As you can hear below on the self-mocking track, the lo-fi, garage-y, bare-bones 1986 version (which was recorded at Minneapolis’ Blackberry Way Studios) of the […]
Inara George – "Sex In Cars" (Feat. Dave Grohl)
Inara George and Dave Grohl have crossed paths plenty over the years.

The Australian rock band Midnight Oil got together way the hell back in 1972. In the ’80s and early ’90s, they became an international creative force, and they did it without easing up on their strident anti-colonialist politics.
