After his Ozzy celebration with Aerosmith a couple of months ago,
flamboyant English star YUNGBLUD dropped a collaborative track
today with those other heavy rock kingpins The Smashing Pumpkins.
Together, they come up with a remarkable rendition of Yungblud‘s
emotional power ballad ZOMBIE from last year’s album Idols.

Hip-hop sheroes ICE SPICE and TOKISCHA will lighten up your
Xmas holidays, together, with a jubilant rap-bang-boomer, titled THOOTIE whipped up with irresistible vibes and a tsunami of
glitziness vocals.
Ice Spice: “This was a fun record for me, It’s the first-time people are actually hearing me speak or rap in Spanish and it was fun to show another side of who I am, and it’s even more special that I got to do it with Toki. We went to the Dominican Republic to shoot the video last month and it was a vibe. I definitely felt at home.”
Tokischa: “I’m so happy we finally got to make a song. It’s been a while since we’ve wanted to. When she sent me ‘Thootie’ it was instant. I loved working with Ice, she’s a sweetheart and a genuinely fun girl. I’m so proud of the video, and her coming to the DR after so long was very special to honor and respect the ‘bajo mundo culture.’”

Band: COWBOY HUNTERS Who: Two cowpunks – Megan Pollock
and Desmond Johnston – from Edinburgh.
Track: MONEY FOR DRUGS
Their newest single. So far,
no sign of a first full-length.
TUTV: These two cowboys want some hallucinatory candy, but they
desperately need money to buy it. And they’re in a hurry. Their sonic
search lasts for only 93 jaw-dropping punk seconds.
“A song that explores the heavy feelings of seasonal depression. When the weight of
it makes the air feel thick and hard to move through. Appreciating the little moments
like the winter sun or walks with friends eases the overwhelming thoughts and feelings.”
TUTV: Ireland is crowded with great bands, and not only Fontaines D.C. Cork‘s thrilling Cliffords are another fast up-and-coming, hungry outfit.
Their brand-new single Marsh is a melancholic tryout scraping the sky with Iona Lynch‘s goosebumps vocals, with ablaze guitars and with a hammering
forth-and-back beat. Your ears will be aroused instantly.

Belfast‘s sharp-mouthed, notorious rap team KNEECAP – Mo Chara,
Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí – hip and hop around with a knife between
their teeth since 2017.
They released their debut album 3cag in 2018
and went viral last year with follow-up Fine Art.
For the past months, the spotlight wasn’t really on their music
but more on their problems with some governments for their
support for Palestine on and off stage.
Member Mo Chara got charged for allegedly displaying a flag
in support of Hezbollah one year ago. After a long trial he was
acquitted of all claims against him.
In the aftermath, they just dropped a new song, called NO COMMENT featuring renowned British DJ Sub Focus.
Kneecap: ‘No Comment’ is all about getting harassed by the British state.
Simple as. Us Irish are well used to it, been happening for centuries. Was
a pleasure to work with Sub Focus on this, the man is a legend.”
