Red Hot Chili Peppers Share New Song “Not the One”: Stream
Red Hot Chili Peppers have shared the sentimental new song, “Not the One,” as the latest preview of their upcoming album Unlimited Love. “Not the One” is RHCP at their most earnest, with lyrics that describe trying to live up to someone else’s expectations. “I’m not the person that you thought I was,” Anthony Kiedis sings over melancholy piano and waves of electronically-bending notes. “I’m not the one you thought you knew/ I do most anything to make you think that I’m the one/ I do it all to get to you.” Check out “Not the One” below. Unlimited Love arrives April 1st with production from Rick Rubin and John Frusciante on guitar for the first time since 2006. Previously, Red Hot Chili Peppers shared the singles “Poster Child” and “Black Summer,”&nbs...
Consequence’s 2022 SXSW Party at Brooklyn Bowl’s Family Reunion: Recap + Photo Gallery
It seems like we’ve been saying “live music is returning” for a year now. For a moment last summer, it felt like it was fully back before a fall variant threw everything out of whack again. There’s honestly no knowing whether another hold is on the horizon, but if there’s a sure sign concerts are back with a vengeance, it’s the return of South by Southwest. After being forced into a second virtual iteration last year, the long-running music conference and festival returned to Austin last week to once again bring together artists, fans, and industry figures for a celebration of all things live music. We at Consequence couldn’t have been more ecstatic to be part of the activities, reteaming with Brooklyn Bowl and Relix for the third “annual” Family Reunion at SXSW. Taking place on Friday, Ma...

After 2017’s Everything Now, Arcade Fire are back with a new pair of (linked) singles: “The Lightning I, II,” which is set to appear on their upcoming sixth studio album, WE, out May 6th. Arcade Fire are no stranger to sprawling (sorry) odysseys, and on “The Lightning,” they bring a sense of urgency that hasn’t been as present in the band’s catalog since Neon Bible. The first half of “The Lightning” has an air of theatrical dra...

Band of Horses’ Ben Bridwell Isn’t Convinced Things Are Great, But He’s Trying
Ben Bridwell is just waking up from a nap between interviews. Five years after his band’s last album — a span that felt even longer due to the pandemic — the Band of Horses frontman is back on the press circuit, and it’s tiring. If fielding repetitious questions from journalists weren’t wearying enough, the topics up for discussion have been weighing on Bridwell for years. Written pre-COVID, the stories on Band of Horses’ new record, Things Are Great, are about depression, darkness, and divorce. Singing those songs live is something he looks forward to as meditative (“It’ll probably be more joyful than reflective on what the story is,” he tells Consequence. “It’s more like paying attention to the goddamn chords and shit”), but speaking about them is something else entirely. “I had a Z...
Song of the Week: All Hail Florence + The Machine’s “King,” a Complicated Coronation Anthem
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify Top Songs playlist. For our favorite new songs from emerging artists, check out our Spotify New Sounds playlist. This week, Florence + the Machine assume their rightful place on the throne. Florence Welch has assumed a wide range of identities over the past 15 years. Since she first formed Florence + The Machine in 2007, Welch has been a punchy indie rocker; an empowerment anthem siren; a beguiling chanteuse; a dancefloor diva; a witchy woman; a poet. Like David Bowie before her and contemporaries like St. Vincent, Welch isn’t only writing and recording music with Florence + The Machine — she’s developing personae complete with richly-imagined aestheti...

Keep it locked here throughout the week for more interviews, lists, editorials, and videos — it’s all things Foos, all the time. You can see everything in one convenient place here.

Then you get Dave Grohl, the frontman of Foo Fighters and drummer of Nirvana, Scream, Tenacious D, Them Crooked Vultures, and often, Queens of the Stone Age. There may not even be a drummer more prolific than Dave Grohl considering the sheer magnitude of projects he’s participated in, a...

Liam Gallagher Sides with Taylor Swift in Damon Albarn Feud: “All Them Fucking Gorilla Albums Are Co-Writes, Aren’t They?”
Last month, Damon Albarn picked a fight with Taylor Swift over songwriting, and now Liam Gallagher, who as we all know cannot resist an opportunity to stoke a fire, is doing just that. In case you need a quick refresher, the Gorillaz co-founder kicked off the drama when he falsely claimed Swift “doesn’t write her own songs” in an interview with The New York Times, prompting the superstar to fire back, “I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I write ALL of my own songs. Your hot take is completely false and SO damaging. You don’t have to like my songs but it’s really fucked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW.” As part of his argument, Albarn held that there’s a distinction between being the sole writer on a track and co-writing with other artists — both of which Swift has done...
