OneRepublic hits the tabloids, Sole drops new album, and more
Our music scene is a busy place with lots
happening. If you don’t obsessively visit the local blogs, alt-weeklies,
and other outlets, you could miss something important! That’s okay,
we’re here to help with a weekly roundup of some of the more enticing
news happening around town.
• OneRepublic got the tabloid treatment this last week after drummer Eddie Fisher was arrested following a heated argument with his girlfriend. Fisher has since pleaded not guilty to charges of assault, disturbing the peace, destruction of private property, and wrongs to a minor. Talk about irony. Somewhere in here there’s a joke about anger issues and sappy rock bands.
• Rapper Sole has released several volumes of material over the past decade, yet according to the former Anticon head, the forthcoming A Ruthless Criticism Of Everything Existing will be his first new retail album in nearly seven years. An example of what not to expect, newly posted track “A Jungle In The Real” was released as a SoundCloud stream this week but will not be featured on the final cut of the album.
• BLKHRTS are taking out two birds with their combination EPK and music video “BLKHRTS OVR.” The nearly nine-minute video is interspersed with live footage and press quotes, including one from us. Thanks, guys.
School Knights have a new music video out, too. The noise-rock band premièred “Powersluts” a couple weeks back, commenting to Spinner that the song is a “kind of criticism of the gender roles that people in their late teens and early 20s fall into.”
• Starting June 5, Mane Rok and company will be hosting a new monthly local hip-hop night at Chances Bar And Grill. The format for CO You Know! is a bit complicated, but sounds promising: A local hip-hop artist will be featured as the night’s DJ inspiration, based on submissions being collected now.
