But their satanic bubblegum metal/pop will likely catch up once people get a chance to listen. The band had what’s essentially their coming out [...]

Despite the announcement that the newly-reunited Refused and At The Drive-In were confirmed for this year’s lineup, Coachella’s lineup lacks straight-ahead metal acts like they’ve had in years past.

Last year’s Coachella for the most part ignored heavy music. And while this year’s lineup still lacks any metal acts, Coachella has snagged two big reunions that will certainly excite hardcore fans. First up, it’s been confirmed that Swedish punk legends Refused will be playing the festival on April 13 and 20. This marks the [...]
