Primordial General Mayhem 2024 Line-up

‘Humble as the Sun’, the forthcoming album from BOB VYLAN continues with much of the rage and urgency that they have come to be known and loved for, but this latest project shows that they are now stronger and wiser, bolstered by the wins and learnings that they have fought hard for along the way. The resulting record aims to leave the listener feeling power alongside their anger, and brings a fresh and compelling blend of punk, rock, grime and rap together in an experimental way.

Following on from the MOBO award-winning and chart-topping album, ‘Bob Vylan Presents the Price of Life’, the message woven throughout ‘Humble as the Sun’ remains dark in places but is high-energy, defiant and unapologetic in its critique of a broken social and political system that so many have fallen victim to, but feel powerless against.

AS DECEMBER FALLS are a long way from their beginnings. The band achieved self-sufficiency early on as a matter of survival after being told they were ‘too this’ and ‘too that’ from the industry gatekeepers. Their DIY attitude and business know-how resulted in the band selling out 90% of shows on their most recent headline tour around the UK and appearing at Download, Slam Dunk Festival, 2000 Trees and more.

Their new album Join The Club made a hugely impressive debut at No.11 in the UK Album Charts with their most recent tour selling over 10,000 tickets across the UK.

Following their immensely successful tours alongside Limp Bizkit and Skindred, nu-metal powerhouse BLACKGOLD is poised to captivate the audience at Primordial General Mayhem.

Joining the stellar lineup of bands, Primordial Radio is thrilled to introduce SAINT AGNES and CALVA LOUISE, to their inaugural performances at the Primordial General Mayhem. Additionally, we’re also excited to welcome back NORTH ATLAS, who made a memorable appearance at the PGM in 2022. Since then, the band has significantly expanded their fan base through successful performances alongside Atreyu, Enter Shikari, Lost Society, and at Download Festival.

Headlining the Friday night are dynamic and hard-hitting five-piece retro-rockers THE TREATMENT.

Fresh from their massively successful tour with Buckcherry, they are set to deliver an electrifying performance with one of their biggest-ever headline shows to date. Joining them are the Brighton-based punk-rock aficionados THE BAR STOOL PREACHERS, making their PGM debut with their uniquely infectious sound.

Adding to the lineup are the energetic South Wales rockers JAMES & THE COLD GUN, who have garnered acclaim for their recent tours with Those Damn Crows and Florence Black. Also, not to be missed is the return of the electrifying hard rock sensations FURY, who made a remarkable impression last year by drawing an overwhelming crowd to the festival’s smaller stage. Their anticipated performance at PGM 2024 is expected to be a standout moment.

Speaking about the Primordial General Mayhem 2024, Content Director Pete Bailey states:

After the huge success of the PGM 2023, we knew we had our work cut out for us, but this is beyond anything we could have hoped for. With the Friday additions and day splits announced, this bill is nothing short of a showcase of the immense talent we have in the UK, and for those who attended the PGM in 2022 will know just how electric Bob Vylan’s live shows are. This is going to be a very special event; we can’t wait to see you all in April!

Primordial Radio is thrilled to debut the latest music video from UK metal band Skarlett Riot – ‘Lullaby’ (Check it out below).

The release is part of the build-up to their highly anticipated album set to launch in 2024. Speaking about the track the band state:

Skarlett Riot Share Deeply Personal Track

“Lullaby expresses the emotions we go through at some point in our lives when we experience the loss of a loved one. We hope you can connect with this track as much as we did when writing it and I hope it brings a smile or two and warmth when you hear the lyrics. Writing these lyrics definitely brought some pretty personal memories back and it helped me to relive those precious moments again through song writing.”

Spotify has introduced the MARROW playlist, accompanied by a unique promotional video (see below) designed to underscore the enduring relevance and dynamism of rock music.

The campaign features a trailer video conceptualized as a parody of true-crime documentaries. In the video, artists KennyHoopla, Destroy Boys, and the Beaches find themselves under investigation by a pair of detectives probing the hypothetical demise of rock music. Throughout the interrogation, each artist steadfastly maintains the genre’s vibrancy and continued influence.

Rock Music Surges In Popularity

Supporting the promotional narrative, Spotify has released data indicating a substantial rise in interest for rock music among its users. The streaming service reports a near 600% surge in searches for terms such as “rock music,” “alt/rock,” and “rock band,” alongside increased interest in specific subgenres like alternative metal, post-grunge, and indie rock.

This uptick in curiosity is not limited to classic acts but extends to a broad spectrum of artists, ranging from up-and-comers like Jack Kays, julie, and Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers to established icons such as Mother Mother, Deftones, and Arctic Monkeys. According to Spotify, this resurgence is particularly pronounced among Gen Z listeners, suggesting a generational bridging effect.

The MARROW playlist itself is a curated selection reflecting the genre’s current landscape, featuring a diverse array of artists and bands. Noteworthy among its tracks is the new single “Plucked” by Destroy Boys, alongside contributions from a wide range of performers including Bring Me the Horizon, twenty one pilots, 100 gecs, Måneskin, Paramore, and many others. The playlist exemplifies the genre’s versatility and its ability to evolve, incorporating elements that appeal to a broad audience.

In an unexpected fusion of the music and sports worlds, Maynard James Keenan, the frontman of the band Tool, is contributing to Mike Tyson’s preparation for his forthcoming boxing match with Jake Paul. Alongside his colleagues at the Verde Valley BJJ martial arts school, Keenan has taken on the task of training Tyson for the July 20th fight.

Mike Tyson V Jake Paul

This unusual collaboration was unveiled after it was announced earlier this month that Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, would face off against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event is set to be streamed live on Netflix. Keenan revealed that Tyson had started his training regimen at his martial arts centre located in Cottonwood, Arizona.

Keenan took to Instagram to share his enthusiasm about hosting Tyson at their facility. He posted a photo with his wife, Lei Li Keenan, and Tyson, captioning it:

A post shared by MJ Keenan (@iamthebriefcase)

Having earned a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu just a few months ago, Keenan brings a significant amount of martial arts knowledge to Tyson’s training, despite also maintaining a busy touring schedule with Tool.

Following a recent US tour, Keenan is set to embark on the “Sessanta Tour” with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer in celebration of his 60th birthday, along with performances by Primus. Furthermore, Tool is scheduled for a UK/European tour from late May through late June.

Given the timing of the Tyson-Paul fight on July 20th, Keenan might have the opportunity to attend, likely at the invitation of Tyson’s camp, as he will not be on tour during that period.

In a recent Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit, Josh Homme, the frontman of Queens of the Stone Age, discussed the potential for a reunion of the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures. Responding to a fan’s inquiry about the possibility of recording a new album, Homme revealed his enthusiasm for reassembling the band, albeit noting that the decision wasn’t solely his to make.

Josh Homme on Them Crooked Vultures

“It’s sort of not my job to put Vultures back together, that’s Dave [Grohl]’s job. My job is to dance around, write words, and try to write some music,” Homme explained, emphasizing his role within the group and the collaborative dynamics at play.

Despite the logistical challenges, Homme expressed a keen desire for the band to reconvene, stating…

“I really want to — Dave knows this. I really want Vultures to get back together and do one more round” he said, reflecting on the unique chemistry and creative fulfilment he experienced with the band.

Them Crooked Vultures, comprising Homme, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, and Alain Johannes, debuted their only album in November 2009. Following an extensive tour, the group disbanded in 2010, only to briefly reunite for the Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts in Los Angeles and London in 2022.

Homme praised the distinctiveness and creativity of the band’s music and the seamless collaboration among its members, stating:

“The band is so strange, the music is so strange and perverse… The playing is so simple, you’re able to just get into ideas right away and they just happen. And that is a bit addictive, that environment.”

In his concluding remarks, Homme addressed the possibility of a reunion with cautious optimism:

“Is there any chance? Yeah, but I like that it’s not up to me. Is it a good chance? No,” he said, hinting at the complex factors that would influence such a decision.

Dave Grohl, in 2021, also expressed his hope for the group’s revival:

“I hope that someday we do it again,” he mentioned. However, Grohl’s commitments with Foo Fighters and Homme’s upcoming tours with Queens of the Stone Age pose additional scheduling hurdles for a Them Crooked Vultures reunion.

The prospect of Them Crooked Vultures coming together once again remains uncertain, with the members’ busy schedules and individual projects. Nevertheless, the shared interest and fond memories of their collaboration leave a glimmer of hope for fans eagerly awaiting their return.

Queens of the Stone Age are set to headline Download Festival 2024. Tickets can be purchased here.

In a recent interview with Chile’s Radio Futuro on Saturday, March 16, Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman, guitarist of The Offspring, shared updates on the band’s upcoming album, a follow-up to their 2021 release, “Let The Bad Times Roll.”

The Offspring Team Up With Bob Rock

As per the transcription provided by BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Wasserman expressed enthusiasm about the progress of the new project, stating,

“We’ve been working on a bunch of new stuff. The record’s almost done. We’re hoping to be done in the next couple of months and have it released at the end of the year.”

Continuing their collaboration with esteemed producer Bob Rock, known for his work with MÖTLEY CRÜE and METALLICA, The Offspring is set to deliver another promising album. Rock has previously produced three of The Offspring’s albums, including their latest, “Let The Bad Times Roll.”

Reflecting on the creative process, Noodles revealed in an interview with Rock Sound last October that the pandemic had underscored the band’s passion for live performances and maximized their studio productivity.

“It was a really, really creative time for us, actually. Right at the end of making ‘Let The Bad Times Roll’, ideas were just coming, and we’ve just been having a good time in the studio since then — and on the road too. It’s so good to be back playing live music again”.

Bryan “Dexter” Holland, the band’s singer, discussed the musical and lyrical direction of the upcoming material with The Orange County Register in August 2023. Holland’s approach remains focused on melody and the essence of punk’s energy and rebellious spirit. He drew parallels with their earlier work, explaining how thematic clarity often emerges late in the creative process.

“Sometimes you just start writing songs and you don’t realize how an album is coming together until it’s almost there,” Holland explained, emphasizing a continuous exploration of American culture akin to their past work.

“Let The Bad Times Roll” achieved significant global success, marking a series of career-high chart positions, including seven Top 5 and ten Top 10 international debuts, alongside nine Top 10 U.S. debuts. The album reached No. 3 on the U.K. chart and claimed the top spot on the U.S. Alternative Albums chart, setting high expectations for the band’s forthcoming release.

After years of anticipation and speculation, the iconic heavy metal mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap” is set to receive a sequel. Variety has confirmed that filming has commenced in New Orleans, bringing to light several exciting developments regarding the project.

Rob Reiner Returns To Spinal Tap

Rob Reiner returns as the director, reassembling the beloved core trio of Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer. These actors will reprise their roles as the members of Spinal Tap, a band known for its humorous mishaps and perpetual crises. Reiner will also revisit his role as Marty DiBergi, the dedicated documentarian capturing the band’s escapades.

Reiner shared his enthusiasm about reprising his role, conveying Marty DiBergi’s (Reiner’s character) eagerness to join the band once more. He humorously noted that DiBergi is taking a sabbatical from his academic position at the Ed Wood School of Cinematic Arts to document Spinal Tap’s journey, aiming to secure their legacy in rock and roll history.

Reiner’s statement highlighted the blend of humour and dedication that has made the original film a cult classic:

“I recently spoke to Marty DiBergi who said that he was more than happy to take a sabbatical from his position as a visiting Professor’s Assistant at the Ed Wood School of Cinematic Arts to once again document Spinal Tap to ensure their place in the pantheon of Rock and Roll.”

The sequel’s storyline, crafted by the original cast and director, focuses on a discontent Spinal Tap reuniting for a final performance due to a dubious contractual requirement. Additionally, tensions appear to be brewing between the band and DiBergi over his portrayal of their previous, disastrous American tour.

Adding to the excitement, the sequel will feature an impressive array of cameos from music industry titans, including Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Garth Brooks. Recent announcements have also confirmed appearances by Questlove and Trisha Yearwood.

As the sequel to “This Is Spinal Tap” progresses, fans of the original mockumentary can look forward to a humorous and touching homage to rock and roll’s most endearingly fictional band.
