Notorious. Infamous. Bad ass. Just a few of the things MOTÖRHEAD have been called over the years. And they’re sure to be called worse following the release of their 40th anniversary album, Bad Magic, which will be released on August 28th. The album was recorded at NRG Studios with longtime producer Cameron Webb at the…

The above is an acoustic cover of David Guetta’s “Hey Mama” by Bebe Rexha. Only it isn’t entirely a cover. You see, Bebe is actually featured on the song and co-wrote it. So, really, it’s hers as much as it is David Guetta’s. And I happen to prefer this version over the original, which I…

Typically, our #songoftheday is selected from newly released singles, but once in a while we fall in love with something that we missed the first time around. So, we figure better late than never and cover i t anyway. Such is the case with “You’re Worth It” by Cimorelli.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Matt Skiba has been the co-lead vocalist/guitarist of Alkaline Trio for roughly 20 years now and they’re one of the most successful punk rock bands of all-time. You don’t have to like them, but you have to give them that. They’ve put out eight albums and for the most part they have only grown…

“Someone sucked the life out of the room / When that someone said goodbye much too soon,” begins Nate Ruess’ lovely new ballad, “What This World Is Coming To.” And that pretty much sums up the song right there: the classic tale of boy meets girl and they fall in love and then she leaves…
