EDITORS today unveil their new single ‘Magazine’, taken from forthcoming album ‘Violence’. A dizzyingly bright, yet barbed opening salvo, ‘Magazine’ marks an intriguing stylistic shift for EDITORS. The single, the band’s first in three years, is an anthemic pop song that savagely attacks the empty gestures and posturing of those in power. Built around a rousing chorus, swelling keys and crunching, industrial chords, ‘Magazine’ is a muscular, dynamic call-to-arms. Sure to whet the appetite for ‘Violence’ and strike an emotional chord with their legions of fans, ‘Magazine’ demonstrates an ambition from EDITORS that their latest work is destined for the biggest stages this summer.- Details

Motionless In White, Cane Hill, Ice Nine Kills
Originally the Metalcore Goth band MOTIONLESS IN WHITE (MIW) was scheduled to play the cozy Luxor, but due to popular demand the concert had to be shifted to the more spacious Essigfabrik in Cologne. This is still a long bat away from their popularity in the United States, where they usually fill much larger venues, but this is not the first time it takes a bit longer for popularity to cross the Atlantic.

Hollywood Undead, Astroid Boys
HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD are a Rap Rock (used to be called “new metal”) band from Los Angeles, California, and they have been around since 2005. Their latest studio album is called ‘Five’ (or ‘V’), and has been released end of October last year. Some might denounce the band as being out of touch with the Zeitgeist, as the combination of rap lyrics with heavy guitar riffs has been immensely popular 10 to 15 years ago. Others might say that the spot for bands hiding their faces behind masks while playing is already taken by the guys from Iowa.
