A statement released on Instagram reads, ”It is with mixed emotions that I’ve decided to step-down as drummer for Alkaline Trio. The demands of being in a touring band have become increasingly difficult in recent years, and while this was a difficult decision to make, it’s the best thing for me and my mental health. I want to thank everyone who’s supported the band, Alkaline Trio has the best fans in the world – many of whom I’ve gotten to know over the years. I’ll miss seeing you all. I also want to thank Blair Dickerson for being a tru friend and great manager. Most of all I want to thank Matt and Dan for 22 amazing years – I got to travel the world playing music with two of my best friends and the bond that we share can never be broken.

<p>There’s a track on Miranda Rae’s new album that hits different once you learn about her 2022. It’s called “sure,” one of the silky layers of For What It’s Worth, the Boston artist’s new project (released June 2). “I’m sure of it / I need more of it,” Rae implores as she cozies up to a new lover. Even though the song begins with a nod to past heartache — “I’ve been broken twice before” — her admission melts away […]</p>

<p>One of the things we admire most about certain filmmakers who hit it big is the movie they make immediately after that big success. Yorgos Lanthimos has gone through this twice now, with The Lobster becoming a surprise festival favorite and international hit and him following it up with the spectacularly fucked-up Killing of a Sacred Deer.

Much like the plot of any given Rocky movie, you just can’t keep Sly Stallone down: we’re sure that the dude already has a motivational speech — and a swift right hook — prepared for us just for asking that question. But yes, they are still making Expendables movies, and this one’s different. How? Well, Jason Statham’s the top-billed lead here, with 50 Cent, Megan Fox, Iko Uwais, and Tony […]</p>
