Bruce Dickinson stated in 2018, 'Rock and roll music does not belong in a mausoleum in Cleveland.' He further criticized the Hall, saying, 'It's run by a bunch of sanctimonious bloody Americans who wouldn't know rock 'n' roll if it hit them in the face.'
"My world just kind of bottomed out from under me. This thing that I have been dedicated to with complete focus and drive and attention and love... to having nothing but questions."
"This album is over three years in the making, and finally listening back to it all at once, about to release it to the world, I am so damn proud of every second of it. It's overwhelming. Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and connection... good thing we have the tour all lined up or I wouldn't know what to do with myself now!"

Girl Trouble are the Northwest's garage rock demigods, revered by all from Neko Case and Mudhoney to Soundgarden and Beat Happening. On As Is, their first album in over a decade, vibrato guitar collides rollin' and tumblin' into bedrock beats and black crow vocal calls; it's rock'n'roll done in a backwoods style.
Chico stated, 'It was after a third bereavement of one of my dearest friends, which was just devastating. On that fateful day, I'm teetotal, I don't drink, and it felt like I was going out of my mind, couldn't take it, so I drank.'
Dwarves have announced their 17th studio album, titled J ENKEM, set to arrive June 6th via Greedy Records. In support of the upcoming record, the veteran punk band will embark on US tours in the spring and fall.
