2018 was another fantastic year for dance music albums. Deadmau5 dropped an orchestral album; Getter dropped his debut album Visceral; Jauz, Ghastly, Golden Features, Kayzo, Mitis, pluko, Said The Sky and more also dropped their own debut albums. We received new albums from RL Grime, Rezz, The Glitch Mob, The Crystal Method, Headhunterz and more, as well. But it’s 2019 now, and we already have a lot to look forward to. More than a few artists made references to new material, including EPs and albums, in their farewells to 2018. But even then, it doesn’t begin to scratch the surface on all the albums and projects that haven’t even been announced yet. JOYRYDE We expected JOYRYDE’s debut album BRAVE in 2018, but due to some extenuating circumstances, it had to be pushed back. With a 2019 release confirmed, this is one album we know we can look forward to. When your first single is a long-awaited collaboration with Skrillex, it kind of has to be, doesn’t it? Gesaffelstein The dark prince of techno returned in 2018 with a new song “Reset” on his new home at Columbia Records. After the initial luster of the single wore off, fans were ready for more. Thankfully, Gesaffelstein quickly followed up the single with the announcement of a new album Hyperion due this year. Feed Me Feed Me didn’t release a single track in 2018, but he has a good reason for it. “I shut up recently because I’ve been finishing an album and I hate this idea that I’m supposed to hire some idiot company to ‘keep up appearances’ on my social media stuff,” he wrote in a recent post on Instagram. “I handed it in this weekend and I think it’s the best thing I’ve done.” We can’t wait to hear it! Ekali After releasing his debut EP Crystal Eyes early in 2018, Ekali is ready to tackle something bigger. He announced a 2019 debut album in October: “No producer collabs, no ghost production, I’m gonna mix and master it myself. I am so excited about it.” While we loved Ekali’s work with Medasin, Elohim, SLUMBERJACK, Denzel Curry, and more, we have to appreciate and respect his own vision for his work. Zedd There’s been no explicit mention of a Zedd album in 2019, but it makes sense. Clarity dropped in 2012, True Colors dropped in 2015, so 2019 for Z3 is a safe bet. There’s also this deleted post from Polydor Records to point to. A collaboration with Khalid is still on the horizon, and including tracks with Elley Duhé, Maren Morris, Liam Payne, and Alessia Cara, he has quite the collaborative group already. But is this the Z3 that fans want? Readers will remember the awesome rollout of True Colors from 2015 when Zedd sent fans on scavenger hunts in a number of cities and invited them to listen to singles in private in color-themed venues. It’s still one of the greatest album rollouts in recent memory; we hope that passion is still in Zedd’s repertoire and this isn’t entirely a pop cash grab. Skrillex This is a prediction we have every year, and it feels like every year that passes, the next becomes more likely. We had good word from industry sources that a Skrillex album was being finished in 2018, but clearly that wasn’t the case. Now that Skrillex has been more actively playing shows, and, in doing so, sharing a bunch of new IDs in the process, a 2019 album seems all the more likely. Still, much like Zedd, is it going to be the album that fans want? With all of his recent collaborations on pop and hip hop tunes, as well as the very chill “Would You Ever?” from 2017, we have to wonder if there’s going to be any SMANS-era Skrillex on the record. We’re torn between respecting an artist’s own vision and what we actually want — but at the end of the day, even if we get what we want, if the artist isn’t passionate about it, it won’t feel like the real thing. Flume Flume took a break from releasing music in 2018, but he’s expected to come back in 2019. While a full album isn’t exactly likely, it’s still a possibility — and on our wishlist. There’s been a lot of changes in the dance music genre space even since his last album Skin was released in 2016. Flume also has the unfortunate pressure of being a true innovator in dance music, and so the burden on him to create something next level is of course even more intense. No matter what, we’re excited to hear what Flume has to offer this year. Madeon This is another artist who, like Skrillex, we put on our wish list every year. Madeon dropped his debut album Adventure in 2015, and aside from “Shelter” with Porter Robinson and its accompanying evil edit, releases have been scant. He just produced a new song with Lido for rapper Ric Wilson, and also dropped a suspected ID at Brownies & Lemonade’s Lounge NYE show, so a 2019 release is looking more likely. In January 2018, he posted on his Instagram story with a photo of LA: “This is where I’m finishing my album this year.” Let’s hope 2019 is the year it comes out! DJ Snake The same as Zedd, a recently deleted post from Polydor Records, which distributes music for Interscope in Europe, claims that an album from DJ Snake is to be expected in 2019. Snake had quite the active 2018, dropping new records with Jauz and Mercer & Tchami. And then there’s “Taki Taki” with Selena Gomez, Cardi B and Ozuna, a trio of collaborators who are nothing to scoff at. A 2019 album is well within the realm of possibility, especially as his debut album encore is nearly three years old. The Parisian DJ has accomplished a lot since then, and it’s fair to say a sophomore album could put him on an even higher echelon. This article was first published on Your EDM.

It was revealed this afternoon that Bob Einstein, the actor and comedian who lent his gravelly voice to satirical stuntman Super Dave Osborne and Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Marty Funkhouser, has died at the age of 76. As the tributes to the comic genius roll on, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood has shared a pretty fascinating anecdote. Greenwood was more than just an Einstein fan; in a tweet on Wednesday, the Oscar-nominated composer revealed that he used to check into hotels under the name Marty Funkhouser. “He was amazing in Curb,” Greenwood wrote. “I was Marty Funkhouser on the last two Radiohead tours in tribute to his beautifully pitched performance. So subtle. And to think it was all improvised.” So sad to hear this. He was amazing in Curb: I was Marty Funkhouser on the last two Radiohead tours in tribute to his beautifully pitched performance. So subtle. And to think it was all improvised. https://t.co/Mu5jH4B86w — Jonny Greenwood (@JnnyG) January 2, 2019 As proof of his story, Greenwood shared a photo of a note addressed to a “Mr. Funkhouser” he received from the staff of the Park Hyatt Chicago. See it below. pic.twitter.com/RBn2qBbJgj — Jonny Greenwood (@JnnyG) January 2, 2019 This month, Greenwood’s score for Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood will be released on vinyl.

Melodic dubstep as a style has mostly gone extinct by now, having been replaced primarily with future bass. Future bass employs many of the same melodic elements without the limitations set forth by dubstep in terms of BPM and tempo, so that evolution isn’t surprising. Still, there’s something beautiful about simultaneously headbanging and crying your eyes out at 140 BPM. Adventure Club, one of the undisputed kings of melodic dubstep, aren’t about to let it slip gentle into that good night. They’ve just released a new remix that fans will recognize from years ago, of “Under” by AOSOON. The vocals are already primed for melodic dubstep — AC just recognized it and capitalized on the opportunity. Even better, fans can expect more in the coming weeks. “Over the next couple weeks we will be releasing some tracks/remixes that we were never going to release,” wrote Adventure Club on Twitter, “but we love them too much not to share!” Their first single of 2019 drops on Ultra at the end of January. Then they kick off their Death or Glory tour in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium on March 8. Get tickets here. Photo via Adventure Club This article was first published on Your EDM.

As we head into the new year, it’s always nice to take a step back and look at which artists made a significant impact on us in 2018. Electronic music took on so many unique forms in 2018 and we’re here to showcase them. This list is not concerned with popularity or genres, rather it’s primary focus is to highlight 9 unique artists who made a name for themselves this year. Remember to keep an eye for everyone on this list as they are sure to accomplish big things in the upcoming year. ford. Last month ford. released, “(The) Evening”, a 10 track EP via Odesza’s label Foreign Family Collective. This EP is filled with chill, lo-fi electronic beats showcasing ford’s incredible grasp of music theory. He utilizes complex piano melodies and gorgeous vocals to ultimately develop an incredible atmosphere in all his tracks. Did I forget to mention that he’s only 18? Ramzoid At only 20 years old, Ramzoid has garnered over 80k followers on Soundcloud and 300k Youtube subscribers. On his YouTube channel, Ramzoid is known for his tutorials of flipping popular songs into electronic bangers. He also just released a 4-track EP called, “World,” which features his vocals on every track. This dude is a wizard at his craft and we can’t wait to see what 2019 has in store for him. Biskwiq Biskwiq is one of the lesser know producers on this list but don’t let deter you. His music is larger than life. A culmination of trap, hip hop and future bass, his songs don’t really have a set genre, yet they still manage to embody a large sense of personality. In, “bussin,” he actually uses a sound clip from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Very unique stuff. LUCA LUSH LUCA LUSH is a pretty well known producer. His remixes dominate Soundcloud and his consistently manages to exceed everyone’s expectations. When you listen to a LUCA LUSH track, you don’t know what it is going to sound like but you know it’s going to be good. By consistently pushing boundaries and straying away from the norm, LUCA LUSH is destined for greatness in the EDM community. Madnap Hailing from Chicago, Madnap has already had experiences traveling around the globe. He’s had shows in London, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Orlando. For good reason too, his music is wonderful. Madnap is known for his simple, yet elegant future bass sounds. With brand new originals and official remixes on the way, 2019 will be the breakout year for the young artist. SUMR CAMP SUMR CAMP will be a staple name in the dance community in this upcoming year. He released a plethora of high quality deep house tracks in 2018 and there’s no stopping him. Likewise, he is managed by Moe Shalizi (manager of Marshmello, Ookay, Jauz, Slushii and many more). Without a doubt, SUMR CAMP will see a lot of success in the future. YOG$ You have mostly likely heard a track produced by YOG$. He has worked with successful acts like Quinn XCII, Dej Loaf, Felly and Healy. His music brings with it a very chill, hip-hop/pop vibe. With huge releases like, “Forest Fire (featuring Alayna & Healy),” and, “Alive (featuring Quinn XCII),” it wouldn’t be far fetched to assume this dude has big things coming his way. Hex Cougar This man is currently one of my favorite producers. He melds emotional future bass with upbeat drum and bass to create an insane sound. In 2018 he had huge remixes for Alison Wonderland, RL Grime, KRANE and many more. Don’t sleep on Hex. Nitti Gritti Nitti Gritti’s Soundcloud is littered with absolute bangers. In 2018, he released over 30 tracks and 3 EP’s which is unheard of as an EDM producer. He also was headlining his tour for the first half of the year where he performed across the United States, China, and Australia. Usually quality outweighs quantity but Nitti Gritti is a master at both. With his incredible work ethic and constant stream of massive electronic hits, there is no stopping him.

Every new year brings new resolutions, and Charli XCX has a major one on her list that should have fans super hyped. On Twitter today, the pop singer vowed to complete and release a new album in 2019. “About time, right?” she added. Charli certainly isn’t wrong. Although she dropped her Pop 2 mixtape in 2017, Charli’s last proper album came way back in 2014 with Sucker. That LP boasted singles like “Boom Clap” and “Break the Rules” and helped establish her as one of pop music’s most exciting voices. The Cambridge-born English artist hasn’t divulged any other details regarding this new album, but it will likely see her moving further away from her Sucker sound and into more genre-bending, futuristic pop — territory she’s been exploring the last few years with the help of PC Computer associates like SOPHIE and A.G. Cook. Her string of 2018 singles — including “No Angel”, “5 in the Morning”, and Troye Sivan collaboration “1999” — offers the best window into the musical direction of her upcoming third LP. about time, right?? pic.twitter.com/jNgA3btW8o — CHARLI XCX (@charli_xcx) January 2, 2019 While we await more new album updates, revisit “Break the Rules” and “1999”, crowned one of our Top 50 Songs of 2018, down below.

Hardwell has cleared his tour dates indefinitely, but he’s still gearing up for a huge 2019. The producer has announced his new, forthcoming single as a follow up to one of his greatest hits. “My new single ‘Being Alive’ drops this Friday, the follow-up of ‘Apollo,'” Hardwell shares along with the teaser video below. “Who’s excited to start this new year with a blast?” “Being Alive” is a grand production with intense theatrics, impactful lyrics, and an absolutely euphoric drop. Everything fans hope for in a Hardwell song. The anticipated ID, first heard in full at Tomorrowland 2018, finally has an official release set for this Friday (Jan 4). While we can pretty much guarantee there will be no Hardwell shows in 2019, at least he’s hard at work on new music as promised. The global DJ didn’t totally rule out the possibility of a return someday. He said — “I want to come back stronger than ever, but for now, I’m just going to be me for a while.” Hardwell “Being Alive” Teaser Photo via aLIVE Coverage for Insomniac This article was first published on Your EDM.

Along with dishing out of this world riffs, Queen guitarist Brian May has always had his head stuck in the clouds… literally. His comprehensive studies in space and its celestial bodies eventually earned him a PhD in Astrophysics in 2007. Now, May has combined both of his loves on “New Horizons”, his first solo song in more than two decades. Commissioned by NASA, the anthemic offering celebrates the latest mission by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, which just set the record for the most distant spacecraft flyby ever. Specifically, New Horizons visited 2014 MU69, aka Ultima Thule, a “trans-Neptunian object located in the Kuiper Belt” about 6.5 million km from Earth. It’s also the first Kuiper Belt object of its kind to ever be encountered by a spacecraft. “This mission is about human curiosity,” May told reporters during a speaking engagement prior to the landmark space event (via Space.com). “It’s about the need of humankind to go out and explore.” May went on to explain how the New Horizons mission directly inspired his new solo track. “This project made music in my head, and that’s what you’re hearing,” he said, adding, “This became a song which is an anthem to human endeavor.” Keeping with the spirit of space exploration, the “New Horizons” song weaves in a few quotes by the late Stephen Hawking. It also comes with a visual that tells the story of the Ultima Thule project. Check it out below, followed by a photo of the Queen guitarist with Alan Stern, the principal New Horizons mission investigator who personally requested May’s musical talents. New Horizons investigator Alan Stern and Brian May May and the rest of Queen, including singer Adam Lambert, will embark on a massive North American tour this summer. The legendary group’s classic “Bohemian Rhapsody” recently was named “the most-streamed song from the 20th century”, and their biopic of the same name is setting all kinds of records. Source

Bob Einstein, legendary actor, comedy writer, and producer, who is best known for creating satirical stuntman Super Dave Osborne and bugging Larry David as Marty Funkhouser on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, has died at age 76. According to Deadline, Einstein had been recently diagnosed with cancer and passed away on Wednesday morning (Jan. 2nd) in Indian Wells, California. Born on November 20th, 1942 in Los Angeles, Einstein was the middle child of a royal Hollywood family. His parents were comedian-actor Harry Einstein (aka Parkyakarkus) and actress-singer Thelma Leeds; his younger brother is legendary comedian and writer Albert Brooks; and his older brother is Cliff Einstein, who’s now a retired advertising executive. Needless to say, Einstein had a leg up in the entertainment industry, but he made his own name in the ’60s by writing for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, where he worked alongside Steve Martin and earned his first Emmy. His success would parlay into work on other series throughout the ’70s, from The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour to Van Dyke and Company, the latter of which earned him a second Emmy. However, it was his character Super Dave Osborne that truly defined Einstein, particularly his trademark brand of dry humor. The satirical stuntman first appeared on 1972’s The John Byner Comedy Hour, and would go on to stay with Einstein throughout his life. Super Dave made frequent guest appearances on a number of late-night shows, including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and Late Night with David Letterman; he got his own titular variety show in the ’80s for Showtime; and he even made the leap to animation with Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire on FOX. In addition to Super Dave, Einstein appeared on Arrested Development as surrogate Larry Middleman, Crank Yankers as district selectman Tony Deloge, and, of course, Curb Your Enthusiasm as Marty Funkhouser, who refers to Larry David as his “best friend” and sends Jerry Seinfeld over the edge with a lewd joke. Speaking of which, he’s so far the only comedian to appear twice on Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. In a statement, David paid tribute to his Curb co-star, writing, “Never have I seen an actor enjoy a role the way Bob did playing ‘Marty Funkhouser’ on Curb. It was an amazing, unforgettable experience knowing and working with him. There was no one like him, as he told us again and again. We’re all in a state of shock.” David also noted that Einstein was scheduled to be part of Curb’s upcoming 10th season, but his deteriorating health prevented him from filming. Einstein is survived by his younger brother Albert, his older brother Cliff, his wife of over 40 years Roberta Einstein, their daughter Erin Einstein Dale, his son-in-law Andrew Dale, and his two grandchildren.

Coachella is scrambling for a last-minute headliner to replace Kanye West on its 2019 lineup. Kanye was in line to headline the Indio, CA festival, with a lineup announcement anticipated on Wednesday. However, negotiations between the rapper and festival organizers fell apart over a disagreement relating to the stage setup. TMZ was the first to report on Kanye’s cancelation, which has been independently confirmed by Consequence of Sound. According to TMZ, Kanye did not want to perform on the festival’s traditional 40×60 foot stage because it was “artistically limiting.” A source close to Kanye told TMZ, “These 40×60 stages are so archaic. It’s the same type of stage on which Shakespeare’s works were performed hundreds of years ago.” When Coachella organizers Goldenvoice said they were unwilling to accommodate Kanye’s request, the two sides mutually agreed to part ways. On Kanye’s most recent “Saint Pablo Tour”, he performed on a floating platform that moved freely above the audience. Last month, while making their live debut as Kids See Ghosts at Camp Flog Gnaw, Kanye and Kid Cudi performed inside a rectangular glass box that floated above the stage. Interestingly enough, Camp Flog Gnaw was produced by Goldenvoice. TMZ reports that Kanye is “done with performing at festivals.” As for Coachella, they’re left searching for their second replacement headliner (as previously reported, Justin Timberlake previously scrapped plans to appear in 2019). One act who remains confirmed for the festival? Donald Glover, a.k.a. Childish Gambino. More as we have it. Source

Ozzy Osbourne rang in 2019 with a number of his friends as part of Ozzfest New Year’s Eve, which took place at The Forum in Inglewood, California, on December 31st. Those friends included Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Jonathan Davis, and more. The day started out with a few bands playing an outdoor stage. Sets by Wednesday 13 and DevilDriver got things started in the afternoon, along with Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde, who pulled double-duty by fronting his Black Sabbath tribute act, appropriately named Zakk Sabbath. Once the festivities moved indoors into the arena, Body Count got things off to rousing start, playing a 10-song set that was heavy on their 1992 debut album, including such songs as “There Goes the Neighborhood” and “Cop Killer”. Frontman Ice-T and company brought the energy, along with some anti-Trump sentiment. Next up was Korn singer Jonathan Davis, who played a set of solo material largely culled from his 2018 album, Black Labyrinth. His backing band featured a stand-up acoustic bassist named Shenkar, guitarist Miles Mosley, and Korn drummer Ray Luzier. Then it was Marilyn Manson’s turn to grace the stage, kicking things off with “Cruci-Fiction in Space” from Holy Wood. The Antichrist Superstar would go on to play such favorites as “The Fight Song”, “The Dope Show” and “The Beautiful People” before closing with his Eurythmics cover “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”. Following Manson was his “Twins of Evil” tour partner, Rob Zombie, who electrified the crowd with his own favorites like “Living Dead Girl” and “Never Gonna Stop” along with White Zombie classics like “More Human than Human” and “Thunder Kiss ’65”. He also rocked fun covers of the Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop” and Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out”, but the highlight of his set came when he was joined by Manson and surprise guest Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue for a cover of The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter”, which Zombie and Manson had performed together this past summer on their “Twins of Evil” tour. With the clock at 11:30 p.m., Ozzy Osbourne and his band took the stage, ready to ring in the new year with the fans. Performing for the first time since he was forced to cancel some shows in October due to a nasty staph infection, the Prince of Darkness got things started with “Bark at the Moon”, “Mr. Crowley” and “Suicide Solution”. Following Black Sabbath’s “Fairies Wear Boots”, Ozzy and the crowd rang in the new year with a countdown, a giant disco ball, and confetti. Then it was back to the set with “I Don’t Know” and “No More Tears”. Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” would lead into Zakk Wylde making his way into the crowd for an extended solo, as he had done during the band’s summer/fall tour. The main set closed with the classic “Crazy Train” before Ozzy and his band returned for an encore consisting of “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and Sabbath’s “Paranoid”.

There were many options for shows to see on New Year’s Eve across the country – whether you were in Seattle at Resolution, in San Bernardino at Countdown, in Denver at Decadance, or anywhere else, you probably had a great time. However, the one thing that all of you at any of those places didn’t have was Madeon. That pleasure went to the crowd at the Novo in downtown Los Angeles during the Brownies & Lemonade Lounge NYE show. Other surprise performances came from Sam Gellaitry, Falcons, and a b2b from Quix and Graves. But Madeon himself rang in the new year with a stellar performance, and possibly even some new music. @Fabiandori on Twitter caught a video of one of the tracks during Madeon’s set that sounds distinctly Madeon-esque, though it’s not something we’ve heard before.

Fans everywhere are hoping that 2019 is the year that changes. With new music expected from Flume and Skrillex, as well, 2019 could be a banner year in the annals of dance music.

While most of us are still slowly settling back into post-holiday life, Paul McCartney is kicking off 2019 with a new song of epic proportions. Titled “Get Enough”, the experimental track sees The Beatles legend flirt with both warm piano balladry and cool Auto-Tune. “Do you remember the lights on the shore?/ How they reflected the rain on the road?/ I believed that you love me alone, it was real,” Macca wistfully sings on the opening verse before professing his insatiable hunger for a loved one. “Get enough, get enough, get enough (of your love)/ I can’t get enough of you.” (Read: 10 Great Cover Songs of The Beatles’ White Album) The song, which could almost double as a cut off Bon Iver’s 22, A Million, was co-written and produced by Zach Skelton and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, both of whom worked on McCartney’s most recent full-length, Egypt Station. McCartney is credited with manning bass, piano, acoustic guitar, harpsichord, synths, and synth-bass on the new track. Hear “Get Enough” below. “Get Enough” comes less than six months after the release of Egypt Station. It also follows Sir Paul’s “Who Cares” video starring Emma Stone from December, as well as his live reunion with Ringo Starr in London. McCartney is expected to continue his “Freshen Up Tour” with a series of North and South American tour dates beginning in March. “Get Enough” Artwork: Source

Good news, you primitive screwheads: The man, the legend, and the prophesied one known as Bruce Campbell is heading back to television. No, it’s not to fight the nefarious evil dead and it’s also not to burn notices; it’s to serve as host for the latest reboot of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for the Travel Channel. The veteran actor had been teasing the news all weekend and finally made it official on New Year’s Day. To drum up hype, there’s even a ridiculous new trailer: It’s official! @GroovyBruce will be the host of the all-new Ripley’s Believe It or Not! show coming to @travelchannel in 2019! pic.twitter.com/kXRIZQu9ng — Believe It or Not! (@Ripleys) January 1, 2019 The gig comes less than a year after Starz cancelled the hilarious Ash Vs. Evil Dead, which Campbell has sadly confirmed to be the end of road for his chainsaw-wielding Lothario. With Ripley’s, Campbell follows another hero in former Superman Dean Cain, who hosted the series from 2000 to 2003. Prior to that, the show was hosted by Jack Palance in the ’80s and, of course, by Robert L. Ripley himself in the late ’40s. The new series will bow sometime later this year. In the meantime, revisit our interview with Campbell in which he talks about how Stephen King saved The Evil Dead universe twice and explains why riding horses on screen is an art form. Source

Billy Corgan and opinions go together like distortion and alternative rock. More often than not, the outspoken Smashing Pumpkins frontman finds himself in hot water — see: everything he’s ever said with Alex Jones — but not this time. During one of his Instagram Q&As (via Alternative Nation), Corgan was asked what he thought about Greta Van Fleet, the polarizing rock band that has won over millions of fans while attracting just as many critics for their Zeppelin-esque sound. Surprisingly, Corgan is of the former camp, as he told his followers he thinks they’re “great” and that the “sky’s the limit for where they can go.” Mind you, this stamp of approval comes only weeks after the two played together at KROQ Absolut Almost Acoustic Christmas in Los Angeles. But really, Corgan’s support for the group isn’t that surprising. Greta Van Fleet indulges in the kind of sprawling psychedelic rock that he loves, and what’s more, the group was one of the very few rock acts with an outstanding footprint in 2018. For someone like Corgan, who always has his eye on the future, his support for the group is only logical. Their base is his base, so if he’s lucky, perhaps they’ll hit the road together sometime. After all, they’ll be sharing a bill at Mad Cool Festival this summer. Revisit Heavy Consequence’s recent interview with Greta Van Fleet in which bassist Sam Kiszka talks about sibling rivalries, positive vibes, and the band’s prime influences.

After receiving threats of legal action by the Saudi Arabian government, Netflix has pulled an episode of one of its shows from the Middle Eastern Kingdom. According to multiple outlets, episode two of Netflix’s Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj is no longer available in Saudi Arabia. The episode is critical of the Saudi government and its connections to the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Host Hasan Minhaj used the coverup and President Trump’s tepid response as a launching point to question US-Saudi relations as a whole, addressing the two countries’ diplomatic ties as well as Saudi’s involvement in the Yemen conflict and its views on women’s rights. Netflix’s decision to remove the episode came after Saudi officials threatened legal action against Netflix under the Kingdom’s restrictive cybercrime law. The law prohibits “production, preparation, transmission, or storage of material impinging on public order, religious values, public morals, and privacy, through the information network or computers,” punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $800,000. At the center of the complaint is Minhaj’s mockery of Saudi Arabia’s ever-changing official stance regarding the murder of Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. At first they said he left the Consulate alive, even going so far as to use a body double in security footage. Then they said he died in a fist fight, and then that it was a rogue operation. “They went through so many explanations. The only one they didn’t say was that Khashoggi died in a free solo rock-climbing accident,” Minhaj joked in the episode in question. The US Congress and CIA both concluded that Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman “ordered, monitored” Khashaoggi’s murder. They say he was strangled to death and his body disposed of either in acid or by being chopped up with a bone saw. Eight individuals have been arrested in connection with the murder. In a statement, Netflix said, “We strongly support artistic freedom and removed this episode only in Saudi Arabia after we had received a valid legal request — and to comply with local law.” Update: In a tweet addressing the controversy, Minhaj wrote, “Clearly, the best way to stop people from watching something is to ban it, make it trend online, and then leave it up on YouTube.” He then encourage his viewers to donate to humanitarian efforts in Yemen. Clearly, the best way to stop people from watching something is to ban it, make it trend online, and then leave it up on YouTube. Let’s not forget that the world’s largest humanitarian crisis is happening in Yemen right now.

It’s been less than a year since Cardi B dropped her double platinum debut, Invasion of Privacy, and yet she’s already set to release its follow-up. Or rather, that’s the plan, according to a recent interview on Instagram Live. “Of course it’s gonna be an album in 2019,” she answered when asked by a fan. “Hopefully, I could get my album done around the same time that Invasion of Privacy came out, but I don’t know how possible that’s gonna be because I feel like I’m going to be extremely, extremely busy.” No kidding. Currently, Cardi is finishing a tour over in New Zealand, to which she’ll follow up with a performance at Bud Light’s Super Bowl Music Fest on February 2nd and multiple festival dates, including Hangout Festival in the Gulf Shores and Spain’s Primavera Sound. Over the holidays, Cardi made headlines when she revealed her dazzling Christmas haul, which included over $200,000 worth of goods, most of which came from her estranged husband Offset, who may or may not be back with her. Watch a clip of her interview below. Y’all looking forward to a new album from CardiB? @iamcardib pic.twitter.com/DBBEoPukG5 — WORLDSTARHIPHOP (@WORLDSTAR) January 1, 2019 Source

Legendary professional wrestling commentator “Mean Gene” Okerlund has died at the age of 76. In a statement announcing his passing, the WWE described Okerlund as “the most recognizable interviewer in sports-entertainment history.” He began his career as a ring-side reporter for the AWA, interviewing early wrestling stars including Hulk Hogan, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, and Jesse “The Body” Ventura. It was Ventura who gave Okerlund his nickname of “Mean Gene”. Following his move to the WWE (then known as WWF) in 1984, Okerlund became a prominent presence on cable television. Not only did he serve as WWE’s top interviewer, he also hosted programs including All American Wrestling and Tuesday Night Titans. (Read: The 50 Greatest Wrestling Themes) Though he largely stayed out of the ring, Okerlund did have one victory to his name. In 1984, he and Hulk Hogan squared off Mr. Fuji and George Steele in a tag-team match. The plan called for Okerlund to stay on the apron and act as cheerleader, but after he was accidentally tagged in, he managed to pin Mr. Fuji for the win. A year later, Okerlund returned to the ring — this time to sing the National Anthem at the first-ever WrestleMania in 1985. Following an eight-year stint at WCW beginning in 1993, Okerlund returned to WWE to much fanfare. He remained with the company for the remainder of his career, making regular appearances at WrestleMania and hosting archival programs such as WWE Madison Square Garden Classics and WWE Network’s Legends’ House. In 2006, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Source

Disney revealed back in October that they’d be sailing their Pirates of the Caribbean franchise into reboot territory with a sixth installment. The plan involved bringing Deadpool scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to pen the film’s script, which would focus on a female lead swashbuckler. While at the time it wasn’t clear whether or not Johnny Depp would return to his swaggeringly drunk alter-ego as Captain Jack Sparrow, it’s now been confirmed that the studio won’t be bringing back the star — at a savings of $90 million dollars. Forbes reports that there were a number of factors swaying Disney’s decision to raise the Jolly Roger without their A-list star. For one, the last Pirates film, 2017’s Dead Men Tell No Tales, turned in the series’ lowest domestic gross, earning $172,558,876 (a cool $70 million less than 2011’s On Stranger Tides). The film was still profitable, sure, bringing in a worldwide total of $794.9 million on a $230 million production budget; but for a franchise expecting to surpass the billion dollar mark, even $800 million is a bit of a let down. Dead Men also received the most critical bashing of any of the Pirates films, a series which had always seen diminishing critical returns. It scored a measly 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, the likely result of some shoddy scripting and lengthy delays. (Read: Forbes’ list of the Most Overpaid Actors is once again topped by Johnny Depp) And at the center of those script and production issues? Captain Jack himself, Depp. Apparently, the actor was responsible for Terry Rossio’s original script being axed because he worried that having a female villain “would be redundant to Dark Shadows…” (Right, because having one movie with a female villain makes all other women baddies redundant.) Eventually, Depp collaborated in an unspecified capacity on another version of the script with Jeff Nathanson, leading to a pretty flat high-seas adventure with some huge (and hugely expensive) set pieces for Captain Jack. With all the delays (Dead Men was released six years after On Stranger Tides, the longest gap in the series), poor reviews, and subpar returns, it makes sense that the studio would want to move on from Depp. Not helping matters is the actor’s recent public image, which has taken a hit due to domestic abuse allegations in the wake of his split from Amber Heard and unflattering profiles that revealed a man prone to drunken extravagance. Of course, the studio isn’t really saving $90 million by writing out Depp, as someone will have to step in to take the lead character’s paycheck, though likely at a considerable discount. According to the UK’s Daily Express, that’s likely to be a female actress taking on a character reportedly named Redd. Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence have had their names mentioned, while fans have suggested Daisy Ridley or Karen Gillan. Source

New year, new you — and for Justin Bieber that means a new face tattoo. Per Page Six, the newly-married 24-year-old pop star recently got the word “grace” tattooed over his eyebrow. Don’t worry, though; the tattoo is written in cursive script, so he’s keeping it classy. The artist responsible for branding Bieber shared a picture of the new ink via Instagram: In related news, he’s still growing out that dirty ass mustache. Source

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian-West are once again expecting. According to Us Weekly, the couple will welcome their fourth child, a boy, via surrogate “in very early may.” Kanye and Kim already have three children together: North, 5, Saint, 3, and Chicago, 11 months. They turned to surrogacy after Kardashian-West suffered from placenta accreta, a painful and life-threatening condition, during her first two pregnancies. Along with a new Kardashian-West offspring, 2019 also promises the release of Kanye’s ninth album, Yandhi. Source

The Pitch: After the West Coast vibes of Season Two nearly soured the entire franchise, Nic Pizzolatto returns to the rustic roots that made the first season of True Detective so compelling. It’s a dizzying case spread across three separate time periods — the ’80s, the ’90s, and the mid-aughts — that involves two missing children who go missing in the Ozarks. It’s a little West Memphis Three, it’s a little Johnny Gosch, it’s a little Prisoners. At the center of it all is haunted detective Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali), whose dedication to the elusive crimes chisels away at his mind, body, and soul. Take a Bite Out of Crime: True crime isn’t just a niche fascination anymore, but a thriving industry that’s gone mainstream, spawning chart-topping podcasts (Last Podcast on the Left, My Favorite Murder, Serial), best-selling novels (I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Murder Beyond the Graves), trending documentaries (Amanda Knox, The Thin Blue Line), and countless TV series (Making a Murderer, American Crime Story, Mindhunter). There’s a whole psychology behind it — something the BBC dug into last month — but the bottom line is that people have a taste for blood, one that goes well beyond the maudlin fare that’s plagued network TV over the years, from CSI to NCIS to even Law and Order. True Detective was initially a part of this wave in 2014, tapping into that gritty underbelly with a spider web of country-fried narratives that has since led fans to draw parallels to a number of real-life cases, be it the sex rings of Larry King or the Franklin Coverup in Nebraska. The problem with its 2015 followup was that it seemingly dismissed this culture, capitalizing on aesthetics and action over any sort of grounded narrative that you might actually find in a dusty, aluminum cabinet. With this year’s third season, Pizzolatto not only returns to the backwoods, but doubles down on its true crime ethos, going so far as to even frame parts of the narrative in a near-documentary style manner. True Detective, Season Three (HBO) A Return to Form: Fans will eat this season up, and for good reason. It’s smart, it’s intriguing, and there’s a dreary atmosphere that can best be credited to director Jeremy Saulnier, whose head was clearly still in the dreamy, gloomy terrain of his latest venture, 2018’s Hold the Dark. Within the first five minutes, any fears that this might be another second season catastrophe are quelled by the confident swagger of its framing. There’s this palpable notion that its creators know what the fuck they’re doing again, which was hardly the case in its second season, which seemed to veer left and right in a weak attempt to keep you glued to the screen each week. Hell, that’s probably why David Cronenberg balked at the script. Then again, some fans might feel this season’s a little redundant, and also for good reason. The allusions to the series’ inaugural run aren’t exactly understated — from the cultish implications to the existential meditations, the latter of which are admittedly far less pronounced here — and had this arrived in the wake of Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson), there would certainly be grumblings of “been there, done that.” But, it didn’t and that’s an unexpected luxury its predecessor affords this season. Because now, these allusions feel more like motifs, giving this franchise some definition it hasn’t really had, save for the concept of pairing A-list talent that has since led to a running Twitter meme. True Detective, Season Three (HBO) Truest Detective: Look, there was nothing wrong with Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, or Taylor Kitsch. They just had nothing to do in season two, and the MO for characterization essentially boiled down to: “less is more, infer everything.” While that might work for series building, it doesn’t work for an anthology season, which is why the principals started to actually get interesting in the 25th hour. This time around, Pizzolatto places a few of his cards down early into the season premiere, “The Great War and Modern Memory”, giving just enough depth to each of his principals. That goes tenfold for Ali’s Hays, who serves as the backbone of this season, and is already the most dynamic figure for the series since McConaughey’s Lone Star-chugging nihilist, Rust Cohle. As Hays, Ali is tasked to play him at three key intervals in his life and he excels at each level, particularly as an elder struggling with dementia in 2015. Ali delivers a complex performance of a man so fraught by the past yet also so defined by it. While much of his time here is spent discussing said past with an investigative reporter (Sarah Gadon) — again, in an attempt to siphon some of that true crime love — we also see how it’s affected his homestead, which is disparate to say the least. Ali is so goddamn wonderful in these scenes, aided by such incredible makeup, that you almost forget it’s him. He completely disappears into his age, wearing the years with so much lived-in authenticity, which is paramount for a story that places such an emphasis on the passage of time. True Detective, Season Three (HBO) It also helps that Ali, like McConaughey in 2014, is having a moment. He’s only two years removed from his Oscar win for Moonlight, he’s on his way to another for Green Book, and he’s already familiar with the medium, having appeared in Netflix’s House of Cards and Marvel’s Luke Cage. Some might dismiss that context as moot, but there’s an inherent energy to Ali that’s achingly similar to McConaughey in that he’s this immediate force that influences every facet of the narrative. Much of this comes to fruition during his frantic time as a young detective in the ’80s, where he ricochets among the majority of the principals, be it his tough-as-nails partner (Stephen Dorff), an insightful schoolteacher (Carmen Ejogo), or a hopeless father (Scoot McNairy). Like Cohle, Hays’ backstory unravels with the case, and also like Cohle, Hays comes with a defined set of skills. (Sorry, Mr. Neeson.) He was a tracker in Vietnam, a key detail that adds a rich layer to his character and warrants some incredible scenes. One harrowing sequence occurs toward the end of the premiere as Hays confidently breaks off from his team and we follow him with baited breath through isolated terrain. Saulnier paces it out brilliantly, taking the time to relish the surrounding anxiety, while also building up the cultish mythology. It’s intense, it’s riveting, it’s everything you want out of this series, but it’s also part of a bigger piece of the puzzle that is Hays himself. His wartime past opens the narrative to a wealth of themes, the likes of which aren’t lost on Pizzolatto, who’s clearly chewing on more than just a story about an unresolved case. True Detective, Season Three (HBO) But, Didn’t Saulnier Jump Ship? He did, two episodes in, but it’s not as tumultuous as it looks on paper. Both Pizzolatto and Daniel Sackheim step behind the camera for the remainder of the season and do an admirable job attempting to match his initial vision, at least based on three of the five episodes HBO screened for critics. Still, there a few noticeable differences, most of which have to do with aesthetics. There’s a deliberate pace to Saulnier’s first two episodes in that he tends to stroll where Pizzolatto and Sackheim opt to jog later on, while the shot selections aren’t nearly as affecting as they tend to be right out of the gate. Again, none of this derails the season in the slightest, but one admittedly wonders how the rest of the six episodes would fare had Saulnier stuck around, especially when things get incredibly surreal due to Hays’ dementia. Oh well. The Verdict: What ifs aside, the third season of True Detective is exactly what fans have been waiting for since Rust and Marty walked off under the stars five years ago. There’s so much depth to this season that fans will likely be at a loss each and every week, which is what made that landmark first run such a national phenomenon. After all, people want to try and solve things for themselves, and Pizzolatto doesn’t make it easy for them. Yet unlike that thorny second season, the complexities aren’t hollow, they’re earned — through character, through mythology, through style, through story. It’s a major comeback — a soft reboot even — for a series that was all but dead in the water, which should be music to HBO’s ears, seeing how the majority of their programming will be given their last rites this year. With that dreary image in mind, consider this a resurrection. Where to find it? True Detective returns to HBO on Sunday, January 13th. Source

Releases from veteran rock bands and artists can bring a strange mix of emotions. While we’re always anxious to hear from one of our all-time favorite bands again — an excitement often intensified as the gap between new releases typically widens over time — history also tells us that veteran acts that are several records, or even several decades, into their careers usually have their best music behind them. That doesn’t mean that Pearl Jam will undoubtedly fizzle out again like they did on Lightning Bolt or that Bruce Springsteen doesn’t have another Born to Run left in him. It just means that we might have to listen a little closer for that spark that made us love a band in the first place. Some might even argue that’s part of the fun. On this list, you’ll find reunions, reconfigurations, studio stalwarts, road warriors, bands you forgot all about, chart-toppers of both the present and long ago, and the songwriters and shredders behind some of the greatest rock music in history. Are the odds of another game-changing album from one of these artists long? Maybe. But something deep inside also tells us never to bet against anyone on this list. –Matt Melis Editorial Director __________________________________________________________ Bob Mould – Sunshine Rock Release Date: February 8th via Merge Records Why We’re Excited: Bob Mould makes loud and fast records. That should surprise nobody who has popped in at any point during the workhorse songwriter’s breakneck career. However, what makes every new record so welcome isn’t that it’s bound to be a proverbial (hell, maybe it’s a literal) kick in the ass. It’s that Mould can just as skillfully use his punk rock arsenal to envelop us in an emotional fog of grieving (like 2014’s Beauty & Ruin) as he can project a rainbow across the same sky that’s bombarding us with constant bullshit. And given Mould’s own words on the album and, more importantly, a couple blazing, chin-up/cheer-up singles, Sunshine Rock will largely be doing the latter. Thank god for rainbows. –Matt Melis Sample: __________________________________________________________ Weezer – Weezer (The Black Album) Release Date: March 1st via Atlantic and Crush Why We’re Excited: The best part about the Weezer sketch on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago — besides the fact that SNL devoted an entire bit to our favorite nerd rockers — was that the argument between purist Leslie Jones and fanboy Matt Damon summed up exactly what Weezer fans have been arguing about for decades now. However, while Jones may know Rivers Cuomo better than he knows himself, we have to side with Damon — hey, we meh’d at Pacific Daydream but dug Everything Will Be Alright… — and give the Dave Sitek-produced Black Album and its zombie bastards a chance. Hey, we’re lifers and can’t knock the hustle. –Matt Melis Sample: __________________________________________________________ The Flaming Lips – King’s Mouth Release Date: April 20th (Record Store Day) via Warner Bros. Records Why We’re Excited: Go ahead and embed this promise in your gummy skull while crowd-surfing in your private hamster ball: With the announcement of a new album from our favorite experimental Sooners, The Flaming Lips, 2019 got at least a little bit stranger. King’s Mouth, as far as we can tell, seems to be the soundtrack to an immersive, multimedia installation (pictured above). According to the lead Lip Wayne Coyne, the original idea for the art installation began from watching a Japanese game show in which a komodo dragon was loosed on contestants who had cuts of meat strapped to their foreheads, The Clash’s Mick Jones will be narrating the album, and the music blends “medieval baroque sounds with futuristic Mars music.” Um, color us at least curious — not to mention hoping that our vinyl copy won’t have Miley Cyrus’ urine pressed into it. –Matt Melis __________________________________________________________ The Cranberries – In the End The Cranberries Release Date: TBD Why We’re Excited: When singer Dolores O’Riordan died this past January, so did The Cranberries. That’s something the remaining band members have been incredibly adamant about over the last year. However, the Irish rockers have one final statement to make with In the End, their eighth studio album that O’Riordan had recorded vocals for prior to her untimely death. “It’s a very strong album,” guitarist Noel Hogan told Rolling Stone back in October, hinting that the songs tag back to their earliest years as a group: “It’s very, very similar, and we deliberately tried to do that. We just said, ‘Let’s go back to the original Cranberries sound.’ And anyone that’s heard it has agreed: ‘Yeah, you managed to do that.'” With that in mind, get ready for an incredibly emotional bookend that should offer some closure to both fans and the band itself. –Michael Roffman __________________________________________________________ The Cure The Cure, photo by Debi Del Grande Release Date: TBD Why We’re Excited: Robert Smith has very little to be sad about lately. The Cure hosted two big soirees in London this past summer and they’re about to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So, it’ll be interesting to see how the goth lord plans to bring the angst to their highly anticipated follow-up to 2008’s 4:13 Dream. A couple of weeks ago, Smith told Sirius XM, “We’re going in about six weeks’ time to finish up what will be our first album in more than a decade. It’s very exciting times for us all around.” He credits this renewed excitement to his own 2018 Meltdown Festival, adding: “Seeing all these new bands inspired me to do something new.” Whether or not the album will include “Step into the Light” and “It Can Never Be the Same”, two new songs the band performed in recent years, remains to be seen. Either way, get that allergy-free makeup ready. –Michael Roffman Sample: __________________________________________________________ Source

The word “cringe” gets thrown around a lot these days. It seems like anything that didn’t go absolutely flawless is deemed as a fail, and as such anyone is liable to be called about for being socially inept. However, nothing will deliver blood-curdling cringe right into your bloodstream like a good old fashioned failed kiss attempt, and have we got an absolute doozy for you. Picture this, you’re celebrating New Years Eve at one of those wanky breakfast television events, standing next to a long time crush with grand ambitions of proving your high school bullies wrong and copping a cheeky kiss on national television. Sounds easy right? Wrong. Oh so wrong. An American student living in Holland spotted the cringe encounter on TV and decided to share it with the world. It has since been liked over 200,000 times on Twitter and at some point you’ve got to feel sorry for the poor bloke. Give the video a squizz here and make your own mind up whether this guy is a social pariah or just one very, very unlucky fella. Here’s to wishing you and yours a Happy New Year from everyone at Your Friends House. Source
