During January of 2012, Lacuna Coil released their sixth studio album, Dark Adrenaline. The album debuted at number 15 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart and proved to be quite successful as the band toured as a headliner and also joined forces some of the greats, including Motörhead, Megadeth, Sevendust and Paradise Lost. And…

The original version of ProbCause and Chance The Rapper’s “LSD” was produced by Drew Mantia and was very much du jour in the dubstep vein. This make-over by The Hood Internet gives the song a delightful old school hip-hop vibe in terms of the warm, throbbing beats, meanwhile there’s a slight trap vibe to the…

It feels so surreal, listening to this newly unearthed collection of Johnny Cash songs recorded with legendary country producer Billy Sherrill in 1981 and 1984. Like most of his fans, by now I’d simply thought that everything he’d ever recorded that he would have wanted released was already released. And so it was a very…

A few remixes of HAIM’s wonderful tune that is “If I Could Change Your Mind” have surfaced recently and they’re all quite good. The Knocks remix is fantastic, for example. But it’s this MK remix that we keep going back to. It’s got a distinct ’90’s house vibe to it that makes the song sound…

If you listen to hard rock or metal in any of its various forms, chances are you’ve heard the fancy fretwork of guitarist Gus G. during recent years. He’s probably most known for his work with his own fantastic band Firewind, which I would probably categorize as power metal if I had to assign them…

list compiled by Michael McCarthy, Jay Cavalon, Amy Akbar and G. Monkey Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 20 years then chances are you know who Mötley Crüe are. And chances are that you either love them or hate them. Unfortunately, many of their fans aren’t very familiar with their extensive…

We’re not sure what we think about the above video — probably because Mike is having horrible headaches and severe eye pain lately — but the song is undeniably catchy with its soulful vocals, intriguing guitars and faint but warm synth, along with bass that alternates between funky and throbbing. There’s even a pretty darn…

interview by Michael McCarthy If there’s ever been someone we’ve interviewed here on Love is Pop who needs no introduction it’s Nina Persson. But, just in case her name doesn’t ring a bell, Nina is the beloved vocalist of The Cardigans. In most of the world, they’ve had roughly two dozen big hit singles, their…

CLIENT has returned! Maybe you don’t know who they are. There’s Wikipedia for that. What we’re prepared to tell you is that new singer Client N brings new life to the group, igniting it with a spark not unlike that of Ladytron’s Marnie. And where CLIENT have tended to produce subtle electro/synth pop, the lead…

Fefe Dobson has never really gotten our attention before, but we must admit this is one catchy pop song with a positive message. “Three strikes / We tried / Now I’m in better hands,”goes the especially upbeat chorus. You could look at it as a song telling women to finally get out of abusive relationships,…
