Skrillex And Anthony Green Tease Potential Collaborative Screamo Release

This is a little old, but it’s just getting traction now. Besides, a bit more publicity might light a fire under the asses of these two.

Sonny Moore, currently operating under his production/DJ moniker Skrillex, has a long, deep relationship with extreme music. Before dropping the heavy bass, he was screaming heavy verses as the frontman of post-hardcore act From First To Last. But you already knew that.

What you probably didn’t know is that Moore hasn’t completely moved away from the music of his heavy, guitar-driven roots.

Taking Back Sunday To Start Writing Again In “Secret Mountain House”

Hey, seclusion worked for Bon Iver.

Absolute Punk reports that Taking Back Sunday are riding off to an undisclosed location to start writing some new material.

The band tweeted yesterday that they were en route to a “secret mountain house” to work on their music.

Like, that could mean anything from a desolate (possibly haunted) wooded shack to a low profile ski chalet. Based off the Instagram program in the tweet, it appears that the band is near, …

Max Bemis Promises Another Two Tongues Album Some Time “Within The Next Couple Years”

Max Bemis, principal singer and songwriter for literate, heart-rending pop punk act Say Anything, stated on Twitter today that he’s not done with his long dormant Two Tongues project.

A supergroup originally consisting of Bemis, fellow Say Anything member Coby Linder, Saves The Day frontman Chris Conley, and ex-Saves The Day guitarist David Soloway, Two Tongues only put out one self-titled album way, way back in 2009.

But just because we haven’t heard anything from the group in a couple years doesn’t mean that we should count on them not coming back, according to the tweet from Bemis …

“Business instead of games !” read the caption to the Instragram post in which Wallace shared her new ink with the world.

Isn’t that shocking, people being surprised by the actions of the youth ON THE INTERNET.

This isn’t the first piece that Wallace has gotten to commemorate her father: …

NO SURPRISE HERE: Chris Brown Deletes Twitter After Heated Exchange With Jenny Johnson

While the world was busy feasting on delicious turkey and stuffing this Thanksgiving, Chris Brown was busy waging wars with comedy writer Jenny Johnson. The argument between the two ended abruptly, with Chris Brown deleting his Twitter account yet again. Childish does not begin to explain the lengths he went to degrade the comedy writer.

Brown decided to start-up an argument (a couple of days ago) after a short Tweet he wrote stating, “I look old as f–k! I’m only 23…” Johnson replied to his Tweet by saying, “I know! Being a worthless piece of s–t can really age a …

DRAMA: French Montana Talks Shit About 50 Cent, 50 Cent Responds

French Montana is currently gracing the cover of Fader following the enormous success of his single “Pop That” earlier this Summer. He is arguably amongst the biggest names in hip hop at this time and as a result, people want to know how he feels about everyone else in the game. Now, of course the classy thing to do would be to keep his thoughts for the booth, but Montana recently let loose to Complex about his thoughts on 50 Cent, stating:

“I feel like beef hurt him. I feel like it helped Ross unite people. That’s why Maybach

Devin Townsend (Ex-Strapping Young Lad) Vents On Piracy

Metal musician and producer Devin Townsend (formerly of extreme metal band, Strapping Young Lad) took to Twitter last night to share his thoughts on music piracy. It’s been observed that Townsend had much to speak about upon finding that Epicloud, his latest work under the Devin Townsend Project moniker had been leaked on the internet just before its scheduled release date next week.

Though this is understandable that artist’s want an audience to appreciate their art, but this still leaves much to be considered seeing as how many musicians are moving towards doing unconventional things like selling albums …
