Doechii – “Bomb”

Before she released her star-making 2024 mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, Doechii stoked interest with her Swamp Sessions series — a set of short, aggressively rapped songs with eye-grabbing, heavily art-directed videos. Today, Doechii is a star, and her recent singles have been much more conventional — “girl, get up.” with SZA, “Runway” with Lady Gaga. But now, Doechii is building up to the release of her new album, and she’s got a new Swamp Session song for us.

Fontaines D.C. – “Where Is Gone?” (Feat. Rosalía)

The Fontaines D.C./Rosalía collab has arrived. On Friday, Fontaines will release their much-anticipated new album Dopamine Chamber, and it includes the first-ever featured guest on one of their records. The fact that they chose to work with Rosalía, and that Rosalía chose to work with them, is one of those beautiful cases of two cool entities finding common ground. The track is out now, just a couple of days after Rosalía’s SNL performance.

James Hetfield Shades Entertainers With Agendas “To Influence You With Their Bullshit”

Metallica are in the midst of their Life Burns Faster residency at Sphere in Las Vegas. At Saturday night’s show, James Hetfield seemingly took a side in arguably the biggest non-AI music news story of the year: the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran situation. He didn’t mention Macklemore or Sheeran by name, but he definitely expressed sentiments relevant to the matter.

Frank Carter Curses Out Man Who Crashed Women-Only Sex Pistols Mosh Pit

This is the world we live in: there’s always one asshole. There’s always one person who’s holding the world back from peace or equality or common human decency and universal respect. On Friday, that one asshole existed at the Sex Pistols gig, featuring Frank Carter, at Denver, CO’s Ogden Theatre, who had a problem with a women-centric mosh pit.

Rosalía Brings Lux To SNL, Appears In Sketch About Jelly Roll Playing Sphere

Last night (Oct. 10), Rosalía was the musical guest with Shane Gillis as host on SNL. It was nice to see the angelic pop star return; she last performed on the show in March 2022 and joined Bad Bunny’s performance in 2021. She sang “Reliquia” and “Magnolias” from her excellent 2025 album Lux. Both were absolutely stunning; she sang the former en pointe and the latter under rain (which is on trend).
