REO Speedwagon will soon be no more. The rock band — whose decades-long run spawned the number one hits “Can’t Fight This Feeling” and “Keep On Loving You” — today announced their breakup due to “irreconcilable differences” between bandmates Bruce Hall and Kevin Cronin.

Ain’t – “Teething”
In May we heard “Oar,” the promising debut single from the rising UK indie band Ain’t. They have another new song out today, a mathy and propulsive track called “Teething” that lets Hanna Baker Darch flex her vocal prowess between spindly guitar riffs and peels of feedback before properly cutting loose.

Shooter Jennings Has Made An Album With Right-Wing Hollywood Pariah James Woods
“Nyah… I’m not a singer.” Remember that? In 1994, James Woods played himself on a classic Simpsons episode. He gets a job at the Kwik-E Mart to prepare for a role, and an armed robber, who recognizes Woods, inexplicably tells him that his next song will be #3 with a bullet. Well, James Woods is […]
