  • Jello Biafra Will Have “A Long Road Of Recovery” Following Recent Stroke

    Alternative Tentacles have shared a new health update on Jello Biafra (ex-Dead Kennedys) following his recent hemorrhagic stroke. The label says the vocalist will have “a long road of recovery.”

    Alternative Tentacles issued the following statement:

    “Well, it has been a devastating week. Jello is making progress but he has a long road of recovery ahead of him. Cognitively he is as sharp as ever, but he is suffering a bit with the left side of his body not cooperating. His fighting spirit is a blessing right now.

    Sorry we didn’t respond yet to all your texts and calls. It is hard for him to text so I am replying to people. It has just been so intense and chaotic that it is taking a while. Soooooooo many people reaching out. I can give updates on this page if you like.

    He is appreciating the outpouring of love and support. It definitely lifts his spirits. Message me if needed. If you are planning to come visit, tell me. We have to space it out. He gets very tired very fast.

    Much love.
    Anne-Marie“

  • Stitched Up Heart Recruit Heidi Shepherd (Butcher Babies) For New Song “Cannibal”

    Stitched Up Heart have teamed up with Butcher Babies singer Heidi Shepherd for a new song titled “Cannibal.” You can find a video for that track below. The single is from Stitched Up Heart’s new album, “Medusa,” which will be released on June 12.

    Frontwoman Alecia “Mixi” Demner commented:

    “‘Cannibal’ is a song for the man-eaters, to all of the baddies stealing hearts and eating them for breakfast. I was at Butcher Babies’ very first show. Crammed on the stairs at a dive bar on the Sunset Strip. Heidi hurled this wrecked Barbie into the crowd. Hair hacked off, totally mangled. I caught it. Looking back at that moment it felt like she’d passed me a torch. ‘Hey girl, let’s conquer this industry together.’ Years later, we’re still at it cheering each other on from the sidelines. Collaborating on this song together is such a fulfilling moment.”

    Shepherd added:

    “I’ve been a big fan of Mixi and Stitched Up Heart for nearly two decades. We’ve clawed our way through this industry together, and had each other’s back when no one else did. After all of these years, it’s so fitting that ‘Cannibal’ is the song that we finally get to SCREAM together! This song is so fun, and has quickly become one of my favorite collabs that I’ve been a part of. You can tell by the video that we had an absolute blast making it. I can’t wait to see what else Stitched Up Heart has in store of us fans in the future!”

    John Lydon commented:

    “After losing Nora and Rambo, I couldn’t see a way through. The thing is, people were so overwhelmingly positive, they really showed me a lot of love, and they asked me to tour PIL again. With so many people asking and with the band meaning so much to them, I couldn’t just stay on my sofa and not tour — tempting though that obviously is.

    We’re looking forward to playing to our friends in North America. It feels like it’s been a long time and we’re pleased to be coming back. We’ve just been into the studio for four weeks to start work on our new record. You’ll be hearing a lot more from PIL.”

  • Cactus Share Video For “The Little Red Rooster” Featuring Dee Snider And Tracii Guns

    Cactus have shared a new video for “The Little Red Rooster” featuring Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns). You can watch that below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Temple Of Blues II,” which will be released on April 3.

    Carmine Appice commented:

    “It was great working on ‘The Little Red Rooster’ with Dee and Tracii. I arranged it with the drums first, then sent it to Artie Dillion and Ed Terry for their feedback. We created the demo with Ed’s amazing vocals for Tracii, Dee and James Haslip who finished the song. Ed was gracious sitting on the sidelines for this one so Dee could sing the lead vocals. It was such an honor to have Dee on the song and to have him make an appearance in the video, especially since he’s retired now. The song rocks!”

    Snider added:

    “Cactus! The name conjures such amazing memories for me. An inspiration for the rock I would play in the years to come. Can you imagine what it was like to ‘get the call’ that your heroes want you to rock with them? Mind-blowing! And now to be asked for second time!? What a treat to dig into a blues classic like ‘The Little Red Rooster’ with Cactus!!! Hell yeah!!”
