Weekly Music News 30.10.22
A roundup of music news for the week beginning October 30, 2022
A new single from Avril Lavigne and YUNGBLUD. This sweet, emotional ballad comes with a video showing Avril, sporting her new haircut, gazing into the sun while YUNGBLUD wanders through gloomy London, before they meet at the end to perform the song.
Have you met "Vended" yet? The band featuring two sons of "Slipknot" members? They have a new single and video called "Overall". These bright young metal stars have even made the cover of Kerrang! and have no intention of stopping until they conquer the metal world. Vocalist Griffin Taylor is the son of Corey Taylor, while drummer Simon Crahan's father is none other than Shawn "Clown" Crahan.
"Bring Me The Horizon" has released the first episode of its new "Post Human" tour series, documenting the band's incredible recent US tour. The first episode, titled "The Gerard Way", follows the band as it kicks off its huge show at Louder Than Life and explores New York. More importantly, we get to see the band working on new music on its tour bus.
This December, Neil Young will celebrate the 50th anniversary of his masterpiece "Harvest" with a worldwide cinema screening of a documentary that takes us behind the scenes of the album's creation. The previously unreleased film was shot in 1971 and includes unseen performances and rehearsals of "Heart of Gold", "A Man Needs A Maid", "Alabama", "Old Man" and more. The screenings will also include an introduction by Neil Young, recorded exclusively for cinema audiences.
Get your calendars out... "Suede" is coming to Israel for the seventh time!!!! The show will take place on June 15, 2023 at Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv. Judging by the band's last performance at the Rishon LeZion amphipark, it should be a blast. Judging by its last show at Menora, perhaps a little less so, as the sound was not great. As you may remember, Suede has just released its simply excellent ninth album, "Autofiction".
Only recently, Iggy Pop signed to producer Andrew Watt's "Gold Tooth Records", and he is already sharing his first single for the label, "Frenzy". Joining him on the track are Andrew Watt on guitar and backing vocals, Duff McKagan on bass and Chad Smith on drums.
"Zombie" by the "Cranberries" has been voted the greatest Irish hit of all time by RTÉ 2fm listeners, as part of the station's call to create the ultimate Irish playlist. The protest song, written by the band's late singer, Dolores O'Riordan, was crowned the Irish nation's favorite song.
Noel Gallagher has a new single featuring none other than Johnny Marr. It is the first preview of Noel's next album, the follow-up to 2017's "Who Built The Moon?". From the first listen, you can hear him exploring other genres. Marr, one of Noel's musical influences, plays lead guitar.
"Metallica" keeps adding to its digital archive, The Metallica Black Box, this time with a virtual art collection spanning the band's history. "The Art of Metallica" takes fans on a nostalgic tour of artwork connected to the band. Visit the exhibition here.
