Millennial Punk – Eine Subkultur in Zeiten der Digitalisierung
In den 90er-Jahren wurde der Punk für tot erklärt, dabei ging es für die Generation der Millennials damals erst richtig los. In dem Vierteiler performen 69 Szene-Akteur*innen, u.a. Bands wie die Donots, Akne Kid Joe und Die Toten Hosen über Tamagotchis, illegale Downloads und politischen Widerstand. Punk’s not dead!
Oasis have dropped a hint that they may be getting back together after their split 15 years ago. The iconic Britpop band, fronted by battling brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, posted a cryptic video on X, with no explanation. Some fans believe it means new live gigs or music. Others are convinced it's aerial footage of Sawmill Studio in Cornwall, where Oasis recorded their debut, "Definitely Maybe," and that the video teases a 30th anniversary reissue. Here's the NME with more details.
As we await clarification, here's a fun question: It's now 25 years since Blur's "Country House" and Oasis's "Roll With It" went head to head for the U.K. No. 1 spot. Most folk agree that the tunes themselves weren't the best examples of the bands' work, but a quarter-of-a-century on, which do you think is the iconic Britpop act?
Still no word on whether or not Oasis is coming back, but most voters in this poll couldn't care less. 42% voted for Blur as the iconic Britpop act, while 23% voted for "another band" (not the name of a Britpop group, though it sounds like it could be). Sleeper and Luke Haines/The Auteurs came up in the comments, but by far the most popular choice was Pulp, the Sheffield band fronted by Jarvis Cocker. We completely agree, and to celebrate, here's a blast of our personal favorite, "Mis-Shapes" from the band's 1995 "Different Class" album.

Punk Girls – Die weibliche Geschichte des britischen Punk:
Als Musikerinnen wie Poly Styrene mit X-Ray Spex, Viv Albertine mit The Slits und Gina Birch mit The Raincoats Mitte der 1970-er Jahre Punk-Bands gründeten, gab es kaum weibliche Vorbilder. So wurden sie selbst welche. Eine mitreissende Frauengeschichte des Punk.

NICKELBACK On Past Feuds With Other Bands: 'Regrettable Things Get Said On All Sides And Everybody Kind Of Looks Stupid'
I never understood the #metalcore#bashing
Yes, I was and I am a metalcore guy so probably I'm biased. But statements like: metalcore is not #metal is simply bullshit. There are a lot of #bands out there with really high skills on their respective instruments.
Another one regarding #breakdown : I can tell you from first hand that it's more demanding on the #doublebass than a continuous passage in the same tempo.
It's okay if you don't like it, we're all different. 🤷🏻♂
@TentinQuarantino metal community is formed by different parts and one of them is gatekeepers, where their opinions are mostly driven by an annoying sense of entitlement.
I prefer to use the three-Is approach with them: Identify, Ignore, Isolate.

10 metal bands who ‘went soft’ – and were better off for it
Avenged Sevenfold, Bring Me The Horizon and Gojira took their careers to new heights after dialling back the aggro
I still can't get over all the musical talent we have lost in the last three years, and in recent days. We'll all die one day, but my childhood music idols are mostly gone now.
And the people we expected to lose first, and long ago, are still around?
Good on them, but there will be a time, when all of them will be gone.
