In the ever-evolving landscape of Canadian rock, The Discarded has emerged with their sixth studio album, “The Green Door,” marking a significant milestone in their musical journey. This father-and-sons trio, hailing from Orangeville, Ontario, has crafted a collection that merges the raw energy of garage rock with the unapologetic spirit of punk.

At the heart of this new release lies “Ooh Yeah!”, a hypnotic garage rock anthem that serves as a testament to the band’s evolving sound. Frontman Jp Wasson penned this track in the intimate setting of his living room, a space that has become the crucible for The Discarded’s creative process. The song’s structure is a masterclass in tension and release, opening with a mesmerizing guitar groove that builds to a crescendo, punctuated by the titular exclamation.

Behind the boards for “The Green Door” is John Critchley, a producer whose pedigree includes work with Elliott Brood and Dan Mangan.

It’s been 24 years since Rage Against the Machine performed a protest set outside the Democratic National Convention in 2000. Now, with another presidential election looming, the band has revisited the performance, making it available on streaming services.

Released on Friday on Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming platforms, Democratic National Convention 2000 (Live) captures the six-song performance the band delivered outside the Staples Center on August 14th, 2000, as the party was preparing to nominate then-Vice President Al Gore inside.

Among the songs the band played were hits like “Killing In the Name,” “Bulls on Parade,” “Guerrilla Radio,” “Sleep Now In the Fire,” and more. In between, the band spoke to the energized crowd, alluding to some of the political and social issues of the day.

“Brothers and sisters, our democracy has been hijacked,” vocalist Zack de la Rocha said before they launched into the first song. “Our electoral freedoms in this...

Kevin Hart and his production company ventured into television and drama to tell the true story of one of the largest heists in Atlanta history, assembling a stellar cast to match.

“Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist” was based on an iHeart Radio podcast, produced by Will Packer. Packer and Shaye Ogbonna collaborated to adapt this true story into a limited series period piece.

“I actually am not typically drawn to period pieces as a producer, but when I heard this story and when we created the podcast, I realized that the elements of this were almost too crazy to be true and to be believed,” Packer told TheWrap.

After Muhammad Ali’s first fight back since evading the Vietnam draft, Gordon “Chicken Man” Williams (Hart) was determined to use the momentum of the fight to bring attention to his city, Atlanta. He hobnobbed with top Black gangster Frank Moten...

Greg Kihn, the singer and songwriter of behind 1980s hits “Jeopardy” and “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em),” died Tuesday of Alzheimer’s complications. He was 75.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Greg Kihn, an iconic figure in the realm of rock music,” Kihn’s management said in a statement posted on his website.

Hulu’s hit series Only Murders in the Building returns for its fourth season this month as the crime-solving trio takes a trip from New York City to Los Angeles to solve yet another murder. But just because they’re moving coasts, doesn’t mean that Oliver (Martin Short), Mabel (Selena Gomez), and Charles (Steve Martin) can escape the deaths that keep plaguing their apartment building.

If you’re like me, you spend a lot of August yelling “Summer is over!” to your nearest and dearest — and they don’t take kindly to that. Summer TV is in its twilight, while fall premieres loom on the horizon after the Emmy Awards on September 15.
