Billie Joe Armstrong is preparing to is return to the theater by writing new music for a Yale Repertory Theater adaptation of Shakespeare.

Three videos to watch this week
Earl Sweatshirt ft Tyler, the Creator – “Whoa” Here’s another new Earl Sweatshirt track from his upcoming LP Doris. Not a big fan of the music myself, but it does have a nice sound to it and I really like the video concept and how it blends with the song. AlunaGeorge – ‘Attracting Flies’ Very nice groove to this tune, definitely one of pop’s most funky sounding duos – Attracting Flies is one of those…

Lost Prophets frontman denies child rape charges
I never wanted to write about this because it’s all gossip and no music, but everybody seems to be worried about this and asking all sort of questions, so I figure it’s worth a little clarifying. Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins has denied several child sex offences charges being made against him, including conspiracy to rape a one-year-old and possessing indecent images of children.

Alice Cooper to tour with Marilyn Manson
It always seemed to be that they were kindred spirits – the man with a woman’s name who was blamed for the fall of civilization in the 70s, and the man who was blamed for the fall of civilization in the 90s, surely there’s something up with that. Apparently, they reached the same conclusion together and announced that they’ll be taking the act on the road: “Masters Of Madness: Shock Therapy Tour 2013”, that’s the…

The clip was directed by Nabil (who directed the video for Frank Ocean’s “Pyramids”, among others) and shot in Romania.

New and upcoming artist – The 1975
Origin: Manchester, England The 1975 were one of the best new bands of 2012, and are now certainly ones to watch for 2013! The boys create a blend of British indie and alternative rock, and do it very well. Being from Manchester, like many other bands, you’d already expect them to be quite similar to other acts, however this band are able to be distinguished and cut out from all the rest – genre is…
