  • Skrape Announce Their Return

    Billy Keeton has officially resurrected Skrape. The vocalist is currently planning new music and live shows with a new lineup.

    The following statement was issued:

    “Original Vocalist Billy Keeton Announces a New Era of SKRAPE

    After more than two decades, SKRAPE is officially entering a new frontier.

    Original vocalist Billy Keeton has introduced a powerful new lineup and a renewed creative vision for the next era of SKRAPE. Known for their explosive blend of heavy groove, melodic aggression, and raw intensity, SKRAPE first rose to prominence in the early 2000s with the release of their RCA Records debut New Killer America and the follow-up album Up the Dose.

    During the band’s original run, SKRAPE toured nationally alongside some of the most influential heavy acts of the era, including Pantera, Slayer, Static-X, and Disturbed. Their single “Waste” climbed the Billboard charts, helping cement the band as one of the emerging forces in heavy music at the time.

    Now, with a new lineup behind him and a renewed creative drive, Keeton is bringing SKRAPE back with a focus firmly set on the future.

    “SKRAPE has always been about energy, intensity, and connection with the fans,” says Keeton. “This isn’t about looking backward — it’s about building something powerful moving forward. We’re writing new music, and the goal is to take this band into the next chapter the right way.”

    The upcoming phase of SKRAPE will focus on new music, new performances, and a revitalized sound that honors the band’s legacy while pushing forward creatively.

    Fans can expect new material to be released in the near future, along with live performances as the band prepares to reintroduce SKRAPE to audiences both old and new.

    This new chapter is a major moment for longtime fans who remember SKRAPE’s early impact, while introducing a new generation to the band’s unmistakable intensity.

    Further announcements regarding new music, tour dates, and lineup details will be revealed soon.”

  • Jello Biafra Hospitalized Following Hemorrhagic Stroke

    Former Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra has been hospitalized after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke. He is currently in a stable condition.

    His label Alternative Tentacles issued a statement:

    “On Saturday, March 7th Jello Biafra suffered a hemorrhagic stroke caused by high blood pressure.
    As per Jello:

    ”I hopped out of my bed because I needed to pee, and my left leg just collapsed under me and I fell to the floor. I couldn’t even break the fall with my left arm because it wasn’t working either. I tried to hop back up again, and I couldn’t. I realized I had “fallen and I can’t get up!”

    It was this point I thought, “Oh shit, I’m having a stroke!”

    I still have a lot of great stuff in me, but right now I gotta lotta rehabbing to do.”

    Jello Biafra is currently hospitalized but stable. Speaking for the Alternative Tentacles family, we are all just very thankful he is okay and getting the care that he needs.

    We will update you all as we are able.”
