Alice Cooper Hot & Hip Live At Leeds

 I’ve seen a number of artists recently that are passed their normally ‘used by’ date, but tonight the usual careful hiding of wrinkles and disguising of chins isn’t needed, because it all adds to the image of the Godfather of Shock Horror Rock. Alice Cooper...

Sarah Hollins Unleashes Ferocious Feminist Rage On New Single ‘Mother’

New Jersey-born and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Sarah Hollins is no stranger to telling hard truths through even harder songs — and with her new single “Mother”, dropping just in time for Mother’s Day Weekend 2025, she has crafted her most uncompromising and timely release to date. Produced by Erik Kertes (Michael Bublé, Shakira, Jewel, Melissa Etheridge), the track is a snarling, defiant ode to the kind of feminine rage that rarely gets the sonic space it deserves.
