Heavy Metal Warriors MAJESTY Release Brand New Video
Last summer saw heavy metal warriors MAJESTY release their critically acclaimed, ninth studio album, Legends, via powerhouse label Napalm Records – a metal rollercoaster that delivers pure steel and takes you on a trip into a post-apocalyptic wasteland where mankind fights for a brighter future. Legends bravely continues down the path its predecessor paved and mixes MAJESTY’s trademarks: blistering riffs, soaring guitar solos and anthemic choirs with modern soundscapes and a massive, crystal-clear production. That`s how real legends gotta sound!

The Grateful Dead announced that it would take an extended break from touring in 1974 when playing large venues with the fabled Wall of Sound PA system had become a physical and financial burden.

Mickey Hart was back and the repertoire was dramatically different.
Madeline Finn Releases New Single “Love Me Like I Love You”
The moody, midtempo “Love Me Like I Love You” showcases Finn’s musical range. Her voice is open and honest–resigned, disappointed, and melancholy–as she comes to the realization that it’s best to let a partner go, since their emotions just aren’t aligned (“You don’t bend me like I break you”). And while driven throughout by brittle piano, “Love Me Like I Love You” is bolstered by sighing backing harmonies, heartbeat-steady drums, and a thundering bridge full of scorching electric guitar fuzz.
Madeline Finn finds perspective with “Love Me Like I Love You”—listen
JZ Replacement (Jamie Murray & Zhenya Strigalev) share new single ‘Bee Bee’
Frequent collaborators and quiet stalwarts of the London jazz scene, the duo have been racking up vast acclaim performing independently and alongside the finest the genre has to offer. Having performed together in Jamie Murray’s solo project “Beat Replacement” just two years ago, they discovered a natural symbiosis and appreciation for free-flowing experimentation. This inspired them to explore their individual playing styles and influences and work together to refine their collaboration into something more precise without compromising on the pliability that their recently found connection has afforded them.
GLINTS drops grimey rhyme-attack ‘Minimum Wage’
“Minimum wage is a track for all the people that struggle to pay their rent. For everyone who knows the feeling of not being able to pay their groceries at the register, to then lie about how they’re going to the bank to withdraw money, only to never return to that supermarket. An ode to the rat in our hallway that we used to call Ratatouille. For everyone working dead-end jobs, trying to make something of themselves. Because the end of the month is a son of a bitch”

Whiskerman Share New Single “F*ck Yeah”
Whiskerman is a rock-and-roll overture to the great unraveling. Over the last 7 years the Oakland band has developed an underground reputation for tackling the sublime with their ambitious songwriting, thunderous stage show, and acute lyricism. They have since emerged as an engine of the Bay Area’s revitalized psychedelic and festival scenes. Frontman Graham Patzner, who will crow like a medicine show preacher and then coo you into the arms of his lovesick eternity, might be a spitfire protege of the underworld himself, though, through and through he will remind you that there is no rapture without artistry. On the surface this is splendid rock-and-roll, rooted in the classic, psych and glam rock tradition, but the pageantry and chaos of Whiskerman’s performances will leave you describing an experience more than a sound.
Lil Durk Announces ‘No Auto Durk’ Project, W/ Metro Boomin
He’s known for his melodic mastery, but Lil Durk unleashes his rawest lyricism when he ditches software and raps. Today, Durk announces the long-anticipated No Auto Durk, executive produced by Metro Boomin, coming soon. Providing a gift for fans who clamored for a project with less singing and more rhyming (his 2018 single “No Auto Durk” has more than 44 million views on YouTube), No Auto Durk finds the 27-year-old Only The Family label boss proving his mettle as an emcee, flexing his myriad flows over atmospheric trap and sinister drill beats. On Friday, as the NBA prepared to celebrate All-Star Weekend in his hometown of Chicago, Durk unveiled two Billboards beside the city’s Dan Ryan highway, announcing the album and his Metro Boomin co-sign. No Auto Durk arrives later in 2020 via Alamo Records.
