The 1975 are “gutted” they have had to cancel their show at Red Rocks.

The indie band are currently on their U.S. tour and were due to play a show at Colorado’s Red Rock on May 1. Unfortunately, the band were caught in a snowstorm and were forced to cancel on the day.

“Tonight’s 1975 concert at Red Rocks is canceled due to road closures across Interstate 80,” a statement from their label, Dirty Hit, declared. “The 1975 and all their equipment are stuck on Interstate 80 and unable to reach Red Rock to perform tonight.

“The band love playing at Red Rocks and are gutted to not be able to make the show this evening due to the adverse weather conditions. They’ll be back as soon as they can to make up for it.”

Frontman Matt Healy shared the statement on Twitter and added: “I’m really gutted we can’t play Red Rocks tonight we love it there so much.”

Rammstein’s highly-anticipated seventh album is well on its way and they have released a teaser for their new music video to celebrate.

The video will be for their single ‘Radio’, which will feature on their first album since 2009.

The teaser is in black and white and features retro style fashion and recording equipment. This suggests that the upcoming single will be a blast from the past and will rejuvenate the band’s roots.

That said, Rammenstein previously told Guitar World that the new album would be different to what fans are used to. They said: “It’s not too sterile, not too clean. It has a lot of life and energy in it, but it’s not all angry. The music is more than that. It’s different for Rammstein. You might even say it’s fun to listen to.”

You can check out the teaser here:

Here’s the full tracklisting:

  1. Deutschland
  2. Radio
  3. Zeig Dich
  4. Ausländer

With all of the recent revelations in the entertainment industry, it seems as though conditions for female artists and fans are finally taking a turn for the better.

Horror story after horror story has shone a light on the misogyny, abuse, and sexual harassment women face on the daily. Read on to hear what three alt-scene rock queens had to say about the situation.

Linda Battilani, Halflives

“It’s important to talk about sexism because the more we do, the more it impacts things and eventually, the less we’ll have to talk about it. Women work as hard as men in this industry, and they shouldn’t have to prove something more just because they’re women.”

Becky Blomfield, Milk Teeth

“I have personally faced a number of incidences of sexism since being in Milk Teeth—some through gender-based misogyny, others through sexual harassment or inappropriate sexual conduct. To combat this, myself and the boys will always call it out when it happens. We don’t tolerate it as a band, and we don’t want it at any of our shows.”

Jess Branney, Peaness

“Does sexism exist in the music industry? Yes. Are we as people going in the right direction to reduce it? Yes. Does my personal taste and the music scenes I’m a fan of reflect my opinions of where we’re at with regards to this issue? Yes.”

Pearl Jam are aiming to release their upcoming album in 2019.

The veterans made a return in March with ”Can’t Deny Me,” which is the first single from their upcoming 11th studio album. But if you are a fan of them, you probably will not be hearing much from them over the next few months.

During an interview with Kyle Meredith, bassist Jeff Ament highlighted that the band will be taking their time in order to produce something good.

He said that the band needs “a good solid six-to-eight weeks carved out where we’re just recording all these ideas that we have.” That likely won’t happen until the fall, as the band will be busy touring over the next several months.

“The one thing we have working against us is the upcoming tour, the other thing we have working against us is it takes three or four months to do a vinyl version of any record,” he said.

“2019 is probably safe to say” when it comes to a release date for the album, he added.

Liam Gallagher, former Oasis frontman, wasn’t able to finish his set at the Lollapalooza Chile festival on Sunday due to a chest infection. This also meant that the audience didn’t get to hear him sing Oasis’ classic “Wonderwall,” since Gallagher usually closes his live shows with the song. But The Killers, who took the stage later, were there to save the day.

During their concerts, The Killers make a habit of covering songs of artists from the local area or those who didn’t make it to the festival. Knowing that the fans wanted to hear “Wonderwall,” they decided to deliver.

“We heard you missed out on a couple of songs you wanted to hear,” said the band’s frontman Brandon Flowers. “Before I sing this song, I would first like to say that Liam Gallagher is my king, is one of my kings.”

Check out “Wonderwall” cover by The Killers below.

Lollapalooza Chile was held on 16–18 March 2018, with The Killers, Pearl Jam, Lana Del Rey, Red Hot Chili Peppers among the headliners.

Lollapalooza Argentina was also underway at the same time, featuring the same line-up. However, due to severe weather, Argentina’s edition of the festival had to be cut short by a day, with LCD Soundsystem, Pearl Jam, the National, and David Byrne being among the artists who didn’t get to take the stage.

After 37 years, 12 studio albums, and close to 3,000 shows played, thrash metal heavyweights Slayer are calling it quits. The band recently announced that they are going to do one more global tour in 2018 and then stop performing or making music under that name.

In order to celebrate Slayer’s career and everything the band has done for the metal genre, we decided to bring you 10 things you probably didn’t know about the band. Let’s take a look.

1. The band’s debut album Show No Mercy, was recorded during a series of midnight sessions. This was done in order to save costs, but also to allow drummer Dave Lombardo opportunity to finish high school.

2. Slayer traveled to their first ever U.S. tour in Tom Araya’s Camaro with a trailer in tow.

3. Anthrax and Meat Loaf’s guitarist Paul Crook was Kerry King’s guitar tech in the ’80s.

4. “Dissident Aggressor” by Judas Priest is the only cover version to be included on Slayer’s official studio albums.

5. “Born of Fire,” from Slayer’s fifth studio album Seasons in the Abyss, was supposed to be released as an instrumental, but Kerry King decided to throw in some lyrics at the last moment.

6. Although it is thought that drummer Dave Lombardo quit the band in 1992 due to conflicts with other members, the major reason for the decision was his desire to be off tour for the birth of his first child.

7. The band’s eighth album was initially titled Soundtrack to the Apocalypse, but the band decided to go with Diabolus in Musica. Slayer finally decided to use the name five years later for their 2003’s box set.

8. At one point in his life, Kerry King spent his free time breeding show dog.

9. A fictional writer from Showtime’s Californication, Hank Moody, used God Hates Us All, South Of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss as titles for his novels.

10. Jeff Hanneman had a short-lived hardcore band in 1984 with Dave Lombardo and Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George called Pap Smear.

Each year the festival-goers were able to enjoy in well-established stars in the techno world, as well as the new kinds on the block and DJs on the rise. That will be the case this year as well.

Swedish techno producer and DJ, Adam Beyer, took on the task to play great music on both days of the festival, fresh of his EP Capsule. Another two-day treat comes in shape and sound of Carl Cox, who will be properly motivated to show that the rumors about his retirement are pure speculations.

On the second day of Awakenings Festival, get ready for Dax J, Chris Liebing, Marcel Dettmann, Drumcomplex & Roel Salemink and much more.

Music plays a greater part in the movies than people think. It can set the mood, change the outlook of the scene and even help to tell the story. This is why having a great composer or picking out just the right tracks is a crucial thing that can make a difference between an average movie and a blockbuster.

Since the end of the year is near, we decided to take a look back at the greatest movies of 2017 and check out their soundtracks. We have to be frank, there were some good, some bad, and some ugly, but at the end, we are pretty confident in our choice of top 5 movie soundtracks of 2017. You think we missed something? Let us know.

Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2

Let’s start with a bang. It isn’t exactly the Awesome Mix Vol. 1, but the songs like Surrender by Cheap Trick and Cat Stevens’ “Father and Son are worthy of getting on the list.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Its John Williams, you know what to expect! The same genius approach which followed Star Wars through all eight installments.

Pitch Perfect 3

The Bellas singing Toxic is one of the best movie/music moments of the year. Add artists like Iggy Azalea to the mix and you have yourself a great soundtrack.

The Greatest Showman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Although the movie itself received mixed reviews, the soundtrack for The Greatest Showman was top notch. It features 11 songs performed by the cast members including Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, and Keala Settle. The album turned out to be a huge global success, topping charts in the United States, UK and all across Europe.

Bright: The Album

We will finish off the list with criminally underrated soundtrack album. From indie rock to EDM and rap, album’s 13 songs will get you wherever you need to go.

During their concerts, The Killers make a habit of covering songs of artists from the local area or those who didn’t make it to the festival. Knowing that the fans wanted to hear “Wonderwall,” they decided to deliver.

“We heard you missed out on a couple of songs you wanted to hear,” said the band’s frontman Brandon Flowers. “Before I sing this song, I would first like to say that Liam Gallagher is my king, is one of my kings.”

Check out “Wonderwall” cover by The Killers below.

Lollapalooza Chile was held on 16–18 March 2018, with The Killers, Pearl Jam, Lana Del Rey, Red Hot Chili Peppers among the headliners.

Lollapalooza Argentina was also underway at the same time, featuring the same line-up. However, due to severe weather, Argentina’s edition of the festival had to be cut short by a day, with LCD Soundsystem, Pearl Jam, the National, and David Byrne being among the artists who didn’t get to take the stage.

After 37 years, 12 studio albums, and close to 3,000 shows played, thrash metal heavyweights Slayer are calling it quits. The band recently announced that they are going to do one more global tour in 2018 and then stop performing or making music under that name.

In order to celebrate Slayer’s career and everything the band has done for the metal genre, we decided to bring you 10 things you probably didn’t know about the band. Let’s take a look.

1. The band’s debut album Show No Mercy, was recorded during a series of midnight sessions. This was done in order to save costs, but also to allow drummer Dave Lombardo opportunity to finish high school.

2. Slayer traveled to their first ever U.S. tour in Tom Araya’s Camaro with a trailer in tow.

3. Anthrax and Meat Loaf’s guitarist Paul Crook was Kerry King’s guitar tech in the ’80s.

4. “Dissident Aggressor” by Judas Priest is the only cover version to be included on Slayer’s official studio albums.

5. “Born of Fire,” from Slayer’s fifth studio album Seasons in the Abyss, was supposed to be released as an instrumental, but Kerry King decided to throw in some lyrics at the last moment.

6. Although it is thought that drummer Dave Lombardo quit the band in 1992 due to conflicts with other members, the major reason for the decision was his desire to be off tour for the birth of his first child.

7. The band’s eighth album was initially titled Soundtrack to the Apocalypse, but the band decided to go with Diabolus in Musica. Slayer finally decided to use the name five years later for their 2003’s box set.

8. At one point in his life, Kerry King spent his free time breeding show dog.

9. A fictional writer from Showtime’s Californication, Hank Moody, used God Hates Us All, South Of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss as titles for his novels.

10. Jeff Hanneman had a short-lived hardcore band in 1984 with Dave Lombardo and Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George called Pap Smear.

Music plays a greater part in the movies than people think. It can set the mood, change the outlook of the scene and even help to tell the story. This is why having a great composer or picking out just the right tracks is a crucial thing that can make a difference between an average movie and a blockbuster.

Since the end of the year is near, we decided to take a look back at the greatest movies of 2017 and check out their soundtracks. We have to be frank, there were some good, some bad, and some ugly, but at the end, we are pretty confident in our choice of top 5 movie soundtracks of 2017. You think we missed something? Let us know.

Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2

Let’s start with a bang. It isn’t exactly the Awesome Mix Vol. 1, but the songs like Surrender by Cheap Trick and Cat Stevens’ “Father and Son are worthy of getting on the list.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Its John Williams, you know what to expect! The same genius approach which followed Star Wars through all eight installments.

Pitch Perfect 3

The Bellas singing Toxic is one of the best movie/music moments of the year. Add artists like Iggy Azalea to the mix and you have yourself a great soundtrack.

The Greatest Showman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Although the movie itself received mixed reviews, the soundtrack for The Greatest Showman was top notch. It features 11 songs performed by the cast members including Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, and Keala Settle. The album turned out to be a huge global success, topping charts in the United States, UK and all across Europe.

Bright: The Album

We will finish off the list with criminally underrated soundtrack album. From indie rock to EDM and rap, album’s 13 songs will get you wherever you need to go.
