He had this to say, "For this song I was thinking of the horror of politics and politicians. Once Vinnie Calaiuta played drums on this, it inspired me to redo some of the instrumentation. Vinnie's performance lifted this song beyond what I imagined. I utilized the strings at the end of the track to start the ARW live shows." (continue)

Geffen/UMe will commemorate the 30th anniversary of Nirvana's "In Utero" with several multi-format reissues, arriving on October 27, 2023. Configurations include a limited-edition 8LP Super Deluxe box set, 5CD Super Deluxe box set, 1 LP + 10" edition, 2CD Deluxe edition, and a Digital Super Deluxe edition.
To say that Nirvana's third and ultimately final studio album In Utero was one of the most impactful records of the modern era would be an understatement. Originally released September 21, 1993, In Utero's unadorned sonic rawness was received by critics and fans with equal measures of shock and elation, as Steve Albini's recording laid bare every primal nuance of the most confrontational yet vulnerable material Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl would ever record. And with its 1991 predecessor Nevermind having sold some 30 million copies and causing a seismic pop cultural shift, In Utero was essentially the first record Nirvana would make with any expectations from the public. So from the opening quasi-shamble melodics of "Serve The Servants" through the bittersweet closing strains of "All Apologies," In Utero was the sound of the most incredible yet conflicted musical force of the era at the peak of its powers coming to terms with a generational spokes-band mantle they'd never seen coming-and ultimately surmounting these struggles to make the record they needed to make.

Toronto pop-punk trio Pkew Pkew Pkew are gearing up to release their new album, "Siiick Days" on September 22nd. To celebrate we asked vocalist/guitarist Mike Thomas Warne to tell us about the song "The Dumbest Thing I Ever Done". Here is the story:
I guess this song is about seller's remorse and buyer's regret. Usually, I get both feelings from musical gear. I've sold so many guitars and pedals and amps, and I wish I could get some of them back. But at the same time, I guess I'm selling them because I never should have bought them in the first place. This time it was a playstation 4. Truthfully, I only bought it so I could play Red Dead Redemption 2, and I did, I finished the game, but I also felt like I probably wouldn't spend the same amount of time replaying it like I did on the first one. I think that was a sign of age. I couldn't imagine spending that much time not working. I guess it's also a sign of not making a lot of money. (continue)
