Let’s jump off the feisty metal planet for a while, this whirlwind of pointy objects and guttural sounds. Time to step back and check out what other seasoned musicians are up to these days. Artists that had an undeniably massive influence on contemporary rock music without screaming themselves out of their vocal cords.

This time, the RMR crew took a fancy to David Gilmour‘s 2024 solo piece Luck and Strange. Yeah, him. The one that his daughter Romany so pointedly called “…that guy from Pink Floyd.” He’s no founding member of this world-famous Psychedelic Rock band, but for … [...] Click to raid more!

So, here we are. Dark … [...] Click to raid more!

Idiot Robot - Anti Pop Culture - Album Cover

Nomen est omen, right? The act’s called Idiot Robot.1 And I daresay, the moniker’s spot on with the duo’s new concoction called Anti Pop Culture.

But after a while, you have to snatch the dirty laundry from the floor and take it to the cleaners. And that includes explaining all those weird stains to the attendant, even if it hurts your pride. Like that,
