Mötley Crüe Premiere Beastie Boys’ Cover
Last summer, multi-platinum metal veterans Mötley Crüe introduced their live cover of the Beastie Boys’ 1986 hit, "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)". After performing the cover numerous times, the band has now released a studio version of the track.
This release feels like a full-circle moment, considering Mötley Crüe dropped their own song titled "Fight For Your Rights" in 1985 on their 4x multi-platinum album Theatre Of Pain. Interestingly, the similarly titled Beastie Boys track, which seems to be unrelated, appeared a year later on their diamond-certified debut album Licensed To Ill.
Blessthefall Premiere New Single “Drag Me Under”
Blessthefall enlisted the help of Alpha Wolf frontman Lochie Keogh for their newly released single, "Drag Me Under." This collaboration between the Arizona metalcore act and the Australian metalcore band was produced by Hiram Hernandez (As I Lay Dying, AVOID) and marks Blessthefall’s first new music of the year.
Next week, Blessthefall will hit the road as direct support for Polaris on the following tour dates, with Thousand Below and Nerv also on the bill: More...
