Melodic Bass Meets K-Pop in Adventure Club and Soar’s Remix of BTS’ “Your Eyes Tell”
Melodic dubstep kingpins Adventure Club have teamed up with blossoming future bass producer Soar for a mammoth remix of BTS‘ K-pop single “Your Eyes Tell.” The serendipitous rework arrived today, July 21st, 2020, seemingly out of the blue. The collaborative remix has all the lushness and euphoric gravitas of a signature Adventure Club tune. The release also serves as a prelude of sorts, as Soar revealed back in April 2020 that he has a forthcoming collaboration with Adventure Club and Luma titled “Safe With Me” on the horizon. He shared a preview of the single at the time, writing that it is “the BIGGEST song [he has] done to date.” At the time of writing, neither act has confirmed a release date for “Safe With Me.” Howev...
Suwannee Hulaween Abandons 2020 Event, Hints at Forthcoming Virtual Edition
Organizers of the North Central Florida music festival Suwannee Hulaween have pulled the plug on its 2020 event, citing COVID-19 concerns as the impetus behind the decision. The beloved Halloween-themed festival, which was set to take place at The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, was originally scheduled for October 29th to November 1st.

Representatives took to social media to share the solemn news. “It has become clear that despite our consistent efforts in tandem with the spirit of Suwanee Music Park to create and maintain a safe onsite environment, the state of Florida is visibly not ready to host the Hulaween we all know and love,” the statement reads. “Unfortunately, gi...

THE PRETTY RECKLESS’s TAYLOR MOMSEN Wore Masks On Airplanes Even Before COVID-19 Pandemic
In a new interview with Marci Wiser of the 95.5 KLOS radio station, THE PRETTY RECKLESS frontwoman Taylor Momsen spoke about the prospect of playing live shows in states where concerts are currently allowed amid the coronavirus pandemic. She said (hear audio below): “That makes me nervous. I’m a hypochondriac and a freak about this stuff anyway. I wear masks on airplanes regardless. I think it stems from being a singer and touring and just desperately trying to not get sick on tour. When you’re sick on tour, it’s awful. There’s no time to recover, and you kind of never get better; you just kind of suffer through the rest of that leg. You’re never 100 percent again until the tour is over. So my paranoia of the Purell [hand sanitizer] and the masks and eve...
KIRK WINDSTEIN Says DOWN Is ‘Working On Something Really Special’
Kirk Windstein spoke to Revolver about his participation in DOWN‘s upcoming shows to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the group’s debut album, “NOLA”. A founding member of DOWN, Windstein left the band in 2013 in order to focus on CROWBAR and his family life.

DEE SNIDER Is ‘Big’ On Trolling People On Twitter
In a new interview with KNAC.COM, TWISTED SISTER singer Dee Snider was asked what his favorite social media platform is and why. He responded: “The one that I’m most active on is Twitter. It was my first one, I’m also on Facebook and Instagram, and I have a loyal following on those too. Twitter would be my favorite, I think, because it just has this ease of use. It’s also got this immediacy of reaction. I liken it to back in the day when you were on the radio and you talked about something and you reacted, so the phones would light up. It’s that immediacy of something that you said and it connected with people. I see a lot of that on Twitter — there’s responses, there’s likes and there’s shares. I use Twitter as a rule, though I often wonder ...
