• Pussy Riot Share Video For New Song “Candy Dopamine” Featuring Avenged Sevenfold

    Pussy Riot have premiered a new video for their new song “Candy Dopamine.” The track, which features Avenged Sevenfold, is from the band’s new album, “Cyka,” which will be released on June 12.

    Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova commented:

    “This song is kind of a love and hate song to prescription and designer drug culture. It started with my dependence on anti-depressants, but it’s also looking at everyone now mentalhealthmaxxing and looksmaxxing via pills and injections. It’s not a judgement; it’s just an observation and my personal experience with these things is that I have to be in a long-term relationship with them for my PTSD and depression.”

    She also took aim at Vladimir Putin, who is credited on the album’s title track:

    “All these old men ruining the world right now act tough — but we see thru their fragile egos, and I’m not afraid to call them out. They are, in fact, pussies. While the world is waiting for the UFC Freedom 250 on June 14 at the White House, I challenge President Putin to a cage match. He thinks he’s so tough, but afraid of a girl? Let’s see. He loses? He gets the fuck out of Ukraine. The world can watch him lose to a girl, even with all his judo training. He can’t even URA anymore, but he throws the world into despair. Just like Brener in 1995 when they bombed Chechnya, and he challenged Yeltsin, now they bomb Ukraine, and I challenge Putin. Putin! Come here!”

  • Evile Frontman Oliver Drake Successfully Raised £8,000 To Pay Off Music Industry Debt

    Evile frontman Oliver “Ol” Drake recently launched a GoFundMe campaign to pay off his music industry debt. Notably, the initiative proved to be a success with £8,000 having been raised.

    Drake previously commented:

    “My name is Oliver and I dedicated the majority of my life to music in a metal band called Evile; writing the music and touring the world to play it.

    Over the years I would often sell everything I own to fund my existence and maintain momentum with my band, but with this, over time, also came debt. Being in an active, touring band is a surprisingly expensive endeavour, and it is difficult to find a steady, well-paying job that will let you tour 5 months out of the year and come back to employment.

    I have been streaming guitar on Twitch over the years to try and help chip away at the debt I accumulated through music, but the cost of living makes this a difficult endeavour. I also run a guitar school on Patreon, take part in session recording sessions when available, and create guitar/comedy content online so I’m at my very limit to try and make ends meet. Over the years, I’ve sold everything I’ve ever owned to fund being in a band.

    I work full-time now and the band at most is a hobby, but even with a salary, we still struggle to provide for our kids with the debt looming over us. My better half, Natalie, fights like a warrior with her autism, ADHD, and BPPD.

    I take full responsibility for having chosen the path I chose, but I am not ashamed to ask for help, as we desperately need it. Any funds raised will be used to pay off debt, and allow us to finally be able to improve our current living conditions, mainly for our kids. (5yo F, 8yo F both autistic).

    This is not a sob story or call for attention but a request for help. Anything that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    Oliver“
