OutKast to reunite on 2014

So, remember that rumor I talked about yesterday? Turns out, it’s true…sorta. OutKast are, in fact, reuniting. This has been confirmed over at Revolt. And plans for touring in the US next year have also been confirmed. That said, a performance at Coachella has yet to be (technically). The piece states that “exact dates remain a ways off,” but one  – at the CounterPoint festival in Atlanta in April – may have been confirmed by…

OutKast rumored to reform at Coachella 2014

Billboard opens their piece by saying, “Sources tell Billboard that Andre 3000 and Big Boi are in prolonged talks to end their hiatus (as OutKast) next year.” The pair have been on hiatus since 2007. According to the “multiple” stated sources, the appearance would “be the start of the reunion” and would be followed by “additional festival dates” in 2014. Problem is, it’s more or less pure speculation when you look at, ahem, official sources…

Five Finger Death Punch’s “Wrong Side of Heaven” debuts at No. 2

It should come as little to no surprise that arena-“metal” stalwarts Five Finger Death Punch’s latest release came in second on Billboard in its opening week. The pretentiously titled The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1 sold 112,000 copies in its first week to chart a second-place position, a career high for the five-piece. Say what you will about what it is they do – which they do very well,…

Crazy Town announce new album

Yes, Crazy Town – the rap-rockers from the Clinton Administration – are releasing a new studio album later this year. Apparently entitled The Brimstone Sluggers (I don’t know what that means, either), will be “dropping soon” as per a YouTube announcement. The background music to the thirty-second spot suggests that the last decade of music (and, therefore, the subsequent destruction of rap-metal) hasn’t occurred in the world of CxT. This probably explains why they last put…

Queens of the Stone Age and Vampire Weekend cover “Blurred Lines”

So apparently the cool thing to do at the moment is to make your own version of Robin Thicke’s number one single “Blurred Lines,” because stoner-rock stalwarts Queens of the Stone age and indie favs Vampire Weekend have both recorded covers of it recently. Vampire Weekend’s is a somewhat jokey take here, with the full band having some serious fun with it. Meanwhile, Queens decided to do an acoustic take for BBC Radio 1’s Live…

Scott Weiland finds out he was fired from STP from the press

So yesterday we told you that Stone Temple Pilots announced they fired their singer Scott Weiland.  Well, apparently, no one told Scott because, according to him, he found out the way the rest of us did: “I learned of my supposed ‘termination’ from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press.” Ouch. What’s just as interesting is the question I posed regarding STP minus Weiland: Can STP be STP without him?…

Scott Weiland out of Stone Temple Pilots

STP has apparently fired their lead singer, Scott Weiland, announcing it with a  single tweet just a few hours ago: “Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland – no further information is available at this time.” Wow.  Um, ok. The group has yet to update their site, but it’s only been a coupla hours. I guess now the question is, can STP be STP without Weiland?
