Bandsplain is Back with Road Trip-Worthy Music and Talk
After almost four months off the air, cult music guide Bandsplain is back with new episodes each Thursday. The show went on hiatus when its parent company, Spotify’s Studio 4, disbanded earlier this year. But host Yasi Salek wasn’t ready to quit just yet, so she revived the program via Ringer Podcast Network last week. The first episode of the reboot: a four-hour, part-one crash course on Smashing Pumpkins. Bandsplain maintains its original mission of acquainting outsiders with subculture-spawning groups like Insane Clown Posse and My Chemical Romance. When it started in February 2021, the show operated under a somewhat traditional structure – it switched off between music and talk, but all episodes were roughly an hour long. They did open with an intro song composed and voiced by Bethany ...
L.S. Dunes Is the Post-Hardcore Anti-Supergroup Born Out of Memes and Friendship
L.S. Dunes don’t sound like a supergroup, and they certainly don’t want to be called a supergroup. But when they took to the Rise Stage early on a Friday afternoon to effectively kick off Riot Fest, one could be forgiven for mistaking them for that. While other stages saw audiences in the dozens under the midday Chicago sun, the debuting quintet amassed thousands of onlookers. As vocalist Anthony Green pointed out from the stage, it was a bigger crowd than just about any other band would have for their first show (including all of his so far), but that’s to be expected when the Circa Survive/Saosin/The Sound of Animals Fighting frontman joined forces with guitarists Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance) and Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria) and the rhythm section from Thursday (drummer Tucker ...
Music Midtown Festival Canceled Due to Georgia Gun Ruling
Atlanta’s annual Music Midtown festival has been canceled amid a 2019 Georgia Supreme Court ruling making it easier for people to carry firearms onto publicly owned property such as the city’s Piedmont Park, where the event was planned to take place on Sept. 17-18 with My Chemical Romance, Jack White and Future. The Live Nation-produced festival did not specify the reason for the cancellation in its social media announcement, but local media reports confirmed the behind-the-scenes battle to clarify whether Music Midtown organizers had any leeway to bar firearms from the site in the face of the 2019 ruling. A source tells SPIN that organizers had also been searching for an alternate venue but were unable to secure one in time to move forward this year. “Hey Midtown fans — due to circumstanc...

My Chemical Romance Release First Song Since 2014
Nearly two-and-a-half years after playing their only reunion show in Los Angeles (before that whole COVID thing), My Chemical Romance have released new music. Titled “The Foundations of Decay,” the six-minute song is the band’s first new track since 2014. [embedded content][embedded content] Despite the reunion (and subsequent pause between shows), it was never clear if My Chemical Romance intended to release any new music. That question is now answered. The song is a welcome return, with its blend of emo and post-hardcore. If you go way back to March 2020, My Chemical Romance were one of the first artists to postpone their tour due to the COVID pandemic. But if you kept your tickets, your patience will have paid off. My Chem returns to the road later this month in the UK and Europe, and w...
