We’ve known for a while that Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides would be hosting the fourth annual Alternative Press Music Awaards. However, we had no idea who would be performing at the Cleveland awards show, taking place on July 17th. And while the just-announced lineup still leans a little bit alternative, look at the magazine […]

If you’ve ever spoken to me at length about music, you probably came away from that conversation knowing that I adore GWAR B-Q. It’s everything I love about music festivals, and none of the stuff that tends to suck about them. I often refer to GWAR’s annual bacchanalia of meat, fake blood, and heatstroke as what […]

Canada may not be on the same level as Europe when it comes about rock and metal festivals but they are working their way there with massive festivals across their maple-y country.

Anyone that lives in the New York area or is in a touring metal band is probably aware of college station WSOU/South Orange, NJ. The radio station of Catholic university Seton Hall is just outside of New York, and plays metal almost exclusively. In addition to being the first place in the region where lots of […]

It hasn’t been completely confirmed yet that Jay Weinberg is the new drummer of Slipknot. However, beyond a handful of metal sites (like, y’know, ours), the Toronto Sun has become the first mainstream publication to suggest that he might be Joey Jordison’s replacement in the band. And now Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace has […]

Let’s be honest, rock and metal generally get no respect in awards shows. The Revolver Golden Gods Awards are a nice try, but they’re still finding their footing even after a few years. There’s a new awards show that took place last night, but you’re forgiven for not knowing it happened. The first Alternative Press Music […]

Slipknot fans have likely been wondering not only when the band will have new material, but who the band has chosen as their new drummer after the departure of Joey Jordison. On WolverineKills.com, a rumor was posted claiming that Jay Weinberg, formerly of Against Me! and Madball. Weinberg is the son of Max Weinberg from […]
