Sylvester Stallone Confirms Demolition Man 2 In the Works
It ain’t over ’til it’s over. That’s the motto Sylvester Stallone lives by and why we’ll never count out a sequel to any of his properties. That being said, we’re admittedly a little surprised to hear that there’s a sequel in development to Demolition Man. “I think it is coming,” the veteran actor stated in a recent Q&A on Instagram. “We’re working on it right now with Warner Brothers and it’s looking fantastic, so that should come out. That’s going to happen.” Logically speaking, it makes sense. He’s already put the proverbial final nail in the coffin for his two most beloved franchises, that being Rocky and Rambo, so it’s only logical that he’d attempt to revisit the 1993 sci-fi blockbuster. Directed by Marco Brambilla in his feature-film debut and co-written by Heathers screenwriter...

The US is Getting Its First Drive-In Concert Tour
Regardless of what Missouri and Arkansas say, the prospect of live music in a confined venue setting seems implausible for the foreseeable future. Instead, musicians in countries like Denmark and Germany have gotten creative by staging “drive-in” concerts in which attendees watch from the safety of their vehicle. Now, electronic musician Marc Rebillet has announced the first drive-in concert tour in the US. Rebillet will embark on the seven-date drive-in tour beginning in June, with socially distant concerts scheduled in North Carolina, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. In lieu of opening acts, each show will screen short films. Additionally, attendees will be able to purchase merchandise, food, and more. Check out the full itinerary below (specific venue information is still forthcoming). Rebi...
Watsky Attempting to Break World Record with 33-Hour Freestyle: Watch

The MC born George Watsky is specifically aiming to rhyme for a mind-boggling 33 hours and 33 minutes straight.

That 20-song gig was notable for bad weather and a great performance to overcome it. “I don’t give a fuck if it’s raining tonight!” frontman Dave Grohl howled into the audience. The torrential downpour reached its zenith during “My Hero”, as the audience shouted along in one wild and muddy mass. At the end of the show, Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction joined Grohl on stage for a ...
SWARM and Caster Invoke Infernal Terror with Vicious Collaboration “Blood”
Fans of the otherworldly bass crafter, SWARM, are still trying to shake the horror that his March EP, Eat Me Alive, inspired. Fortunately for the nightmare chasers out there, he’s made his return to the airwaves in the form of a new collaboration with Caster called “Blood.” As haunting as it is mechanical, “Blood” showcases the duo’s innate ability to tell complex tales with each bassline.

Flume took to Instagram today to share a clip of him working on a new remix of Eiffel 65‘s infamous 1998 Grammy Award-winning hit “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” He treats fan to the comedic side of Flume with the video, which shows the prolific Australian producer working on his “Blue” remix with blue paint smeared all over his face and hands as if he were a Smurf. Flume has the distinct ability to take any song he wants, wave a magic production wand, and turn it into a beautiful electronic effort oozing with a sound all his own. Such is the case with this remix, as he takes “Blue,” which is not an easy song to remix by any means, and infuses his signature future bass sound with thick 808s and expertly pitched vocal chops. Flume’s puppy, on the oth...
