Labrinth Drops “SHUT YOUR DAMN 95.7892” During Euphoria Premiere

The UK musician Labrinth was responsible for the sleek, moody music in the first two seasons of HBO’s ultra-tawdry series Euphoria. Now, Euphoria is back for its long-awaited third season, and Labrinth isn’t part of it. Yesterday, Labrinth released a pissed-off single, and the timing is auspicious. Back in 2025, Labrinth announced that he was…

Mike Patton Sings Faith No More With Avett Brothers At AVTT/PTTN Tour Opener

Last fall Faith No More/Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton teamed up with Scott and Seth Avett — aka the Avett Brothers — for a rather unexpected new band called AVTT/PTTN, sharing their self-titled debut album back in November. Following a couple of promotional appearances and some canceled gigs, Patton and the Avetts have now officially begun their tour. The tour’s first two nights in Louisville on Friday and Nashville on Saturday saw them play a bunch of live debuts from AVTT/PTTN, naturally, but there was also some Faith No More and Avett Brothers sprinkled in the setlist.

Billy Corgan Makes Surprise Coachella Debut With Sombr

Somehow the Smashing Pumpkins have never played Coachella (maybe it’s the CIA’s fault). But Sombr, who recently linked up onstage with members of fellow ’90s alt-rock legends the Cranberries, took a moment out of his Coachella set on Saturday to bring out Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. Together they sang the Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness hit “1979,” which is having a big moment on TikTok right now. It took a while for Corgan’s mic to start working but they figured it out eventually!

Geese Make Coachella Debut With Justin Bieber Cover, Sabrina Carpenter Cheers Them On

Geese enjoy doing covers. A couple of years ago, they recorded a rendition of Justin Bieber’s 2010 single “Baby,” and yesterday they happened to play their first-ever Coachella set on the same evening that Bieber headlined. To mark the occasion, Geese debuted a snippet of their “Baby” cover, working it into their 3D Country track “2122.”

Labrinth Says He Quit Euphoria Because He Doesn’t “Let People Treat Me Like Shit”

Since the very beginning of Euphoria, Labrinth has provided the score. The controversial HBO drama returns tomorrow, and last month the British musician declared on social media, “Fuck Columbia. Double Fuck Euphoria. I’m out. Thank you and good night.” Earlier this week the show’s creator Sam Levinson addressed the issue for the first time in an interview with Rolling Stone, and now Labrinth is sharing more of his side of things.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Hollywood-Themed Coachella Set Had Susan Sarandon, Will Ferrell, Sam Elliott, & More

Today marks exactly two years since Sabrina Carpenter’s rise into main-girl pop stardom with “Espresso.” Before that song, the idea of her headlining Coachella would’ve been ridiculous, but now it’s a given. She did just that last night, and her Hollywood-themed performance included appearances from various actors, plus several Man’s Best Friend live debuts.
