Laura Jane Grace spoke to Rolling Stone about the new Against Me! album and how it will be different than last year's best record, Transgender Dysphoria Blues. She said: "The last record was an isolating experience and a solo endeavor in a lot of ways – not to diminish anyone else's roles, but it was a really personal record. I want this one to feel like we're all in it equally. We've been having a really good time playing with each other. We'll see what that means sonically, but that's the vibe."
Bloc Party's Kele Okereke has finally opened up about the departure of drummer Matt Tong and bassist Gordon Moakes to NME. The frontman said it was a collective of "deep seated" issues that led to them leaving and "I can tell you it was about someone doing cocaine and someone not being into it. That’s all I’m gonna say." He continued: "People think bands breaking up is sexy but often it’s super mundane, like not flushing the toilet or washing up. It’s often not about the flashpoints but deep-seated issues.”
Apparently OutKast was once asked to play the Super Bowl Half Time show in 2004 but opted to decline because they were not allowed to play their hits "Hey Ya" and "The Way You Move" in full.
