<p>Antoine Fuqua’s Emancipation can be slotted in with the rest of the “1917-likes,” the emerging subcategory of war and action films that took the challenge issued to them by Sam Mendes and Roger Deakins back in 2019. It’s important to note that the main gimmick of that particular film – the single-shot construction — doesn’t have to be imitated in order to qualify a movie for this label. Rather, I’d say it’s the pairing of a high-concept logline, usually centered […]</p>

The Darts are back! You know this rocking band- they kick out super smashing garage rock with a surf twist and really just totally smash the room up. Their brand new single, "Snake Oil," is no excpetion. It begins with one of those spiraling surf-rock riffs. A haunted house organ skates in, and the band then blows out the speakers… all while underscoring the point that insta-news and social media skewer reality. The band's Nicole Laurenne spoke to Punknews about the track: “'Snake Oil' is a reference to the fake news, nasty products, lies, exaggerations, online dating photos, false friends, undecipherable fine print, and general consumerism insanity that has infected the way we all perceive our entire reality. We are tired of being fed a constant diet of bullshit. Like, really tired of it.”
Jet Black (aka Brian Duffy), drummer and founding member of The Stranglers, has passed away. He was 84 years old and passed away at his home in Wales on December 6 following “years of ill health”. The band announced his passing in a statement that reads In part, ”It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dear friend, colleague and band elder statesman Jet Black. Jet died peacefully at home surrounded by his family. Fond adieu, fly straight JB.x” The Stranglers formed in 1974 and Jet Black retired from performing live with the band in 2015 due to declining health. He played on 19 out of 20 Stranglers albums with the last one he played on being 2012’s Giants. We send our condolences to his family, friends, and fans. Read tributes from the band members below.
<p>Ant Thomas doesn’t shy away from checking his privilege — and he hopes you don’t, either. The Boston artist crafts a reflective “Shakespearean experience” with his new EP Privilege Pack, released this past Sunday (December 4) after a year of rolling out each “act” individually. The five-track EP uses Thomas’ vibrant hip-hop to explain what is (and more notably, what isn’t) guaranteed in life, exploring layers like “lack of privilege, earning privilege, having privilege, and losing privilege.” As someone who’s […]</p>
