Lately, the Manchester trio Shaking Hand have been cranking out long, winding, bleary post-rock tracks in the lead-up to their self-titled debut album. It’s dropping next week, and they’ve got another eight-minute journey out today to remind us. “Cable Ties” builds on the vibe they’ve been crafting with “Over The Coals” and “Mantras,” building slowly…

A little over a decade ago, Dave Grohl broke his leg onstage in Sweden, prompting the Foo Fighters to cancel a bunch of tour dates before the frontman eventually returned to perform in an ergonomic motorized throne.

New York…

Bruno Mars’ music is so ubiquitous it’s easy to forget he hasn’t released a new solo effort in 10 years. That changes next month when The Romantic, the singer’s fourth studio album, drops February 27. The currently untitled lead single premieres Friday, January 9. Mars has kept busy since his 2016 Album of the Year-winning…
Bruno Mars’ most recent solo album 24K Magic came out nearly 10 years ago. Ten! Remarkably, he’s remained pretty relevant in the pop zeitgeist since then, churning out hits with ROSÉ, Lady Gaga, and Sexyy Red, plus a whole album with Anderson .Paak under their Silk Sonic moniker. (He’s also released a handful of less-memorable…
If it feels like everyone’s talking about Geese these past few months, then get ready for even more chatter – this time from your parents.
