Something Worth Waiting For Friko ATO 24 April 2026 Friko’s debut, Where We’ve Been, Where We Go from Here(2024), was the type of record that made many of us sit up and take notice. Their mix of shaggy, noisy guitars and melodies is an irresistible mix for my demographic, and I, too, fell under their
I get the cosiest feeling when I watch the old 1980s sitcom, Cheers (streaming on Hulu at this writing). There are several reasons for this. First, of course, is that it reminds me of being young: its run ended when I was 14. Second, it was part of the glorious 1990s Friday nights on British
I am a frenetic guy. I don’t nap much, and I prefer my days to be packed with projects, friends, and work. That’s why I was in the Knoxville Airport at 5:00 am on the Monday after the Big Ears Festival had ended. I wanted to get home to start my day after hearing so
Nu Metal Anomaly 1: Slipknot Slipknot’s rise wasn’t supposed to make sense, but it was undeniable. I’d seen them open for Coal Chamber on the Livin’ La Vida Loco tour, where they made quite an impression on my 13-year-old impressionable mind. Their feral energy was contagious, and they were contaminating Ozzfest-minded fans by the minute.
Beyoncé made a surprise appearance during opening night of “JAY-Z 30” at Yankee Stadium, joining her husband on stage for a career-spanning moment that also doubled as a fashion statement. JAY-Z’s three-night residency celebrated the 30th anniversary of “Reasonable Doubt” and the 25th anniversary of “The Blueprint.” He opened the night with “Can’t Knock the

The newly released Obsession Unleashed Bonus Featurette uncovers the raw, unsettling magic behind the performances of Michael Johnston (Bear) and Inde Navarrette (Nikki). Dropping alongside the digital release of director Curry Barker’s smash-hit indie psychological horror, the exclusive footage captures how the lead duo built the film’s terrifyingly toxic emotional core through their original, unedited
Christian-Jacque’sThe Second Twin(1966) is a very 1960s slice of French sleekness packaged like a murder thriller. Well, it kind of is a murder thriller, although it’s mainly a character-driven drama of an adulterous affair between glamorous people. It works either way, as revealed in Kino Lorber’s new Blu-ray. There are reasons to be confused. The
The five songs on Australian singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko’s latest EP,Forgotten World,were recorded and mixed at the same time as her highly celebrated seventh album,I Just Need to Conquer This Mountain,from 2024.

This summer, things are going to get pretty weird. At least if Alex Grass has anything to do with it. His upcoming short story collection, Infernal Tramps: Tales of Weird Terror, is slated for release on July 15th. “I’d like to think that if David Cronenberg and Clive Barker got together and smoked bath salts,
On the opening night of their three-date, sold-out residency at Wembley Stadium, Gerard Way and his merry band of ghouls delivered a theatrical rock spectacle, smudging the lines between musical performance, political satire, and a full-scale stage production. With help from opera singers and lashings of pyro, the band had the crowd bending to their
Bonnie Tyler, the powerhouse Welsh vocalist behind indelible Eighties hits like “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding Out for a Hero,” has died at age 75. A statement posted on her website confirmed the singer’s death. “Bonnie’s family and team are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly passed away last night in hospital in
The Oakland-based band Mildred will fool you into thinking you’ve heard them before with their shaggy dog tales mumbled over slacker rock. A part of you will die inside, as you heard this 35 years ago—even though you weren’t alive. Today, you’re seemingly listening to another indie wannabe Pavement with a megalomaniac as President, and
Today is sadly my last day in Paris. For now. Annie Schröter, Célébrités au défilé de mode “Celia Kritharioti” , collection Haute Couture Automne/ Hiver 2026-2027. Paris le 9 Juillet 2026. Jeremy MELLOUL/Bestimage In just a few hours I’ll be headed back on a long flight back to the States, my oversized luggage in tow.
Having written this column since mid-2021, I sometimes forget what I’ve covered. In some ways, I haven’t written anythingnewin the world of book censorship because the tactics, goals, and outcomes have not changed much at all over the course of this significant era of censorship, even if the trends in how those means are achieved
At the midpoint of the year, we here at Book Riot like to review the many (many, many) great new titles we’ve read so far and determine which ones are the absolute best. It’s not easy narrowing that list down to a few choice representatives, but as you’ll see below, we’ve managed to select five

As we look back at 2026 so far, a lot of the year has been incredibly scary. And when the real world becomes a scary place, a lot of us turn to horror. It might seem weird to those who don’t get it, but how else can you explain what a great year 2026 has
Both on and off the small screen, John Stamos has had one foot in the world of music, and one in acting. (His relationship with the Beach Boys is still going strong.) He can sing, play instruments, and has shown off his dance skills a time or two. I mean, he’s even danced and sang
David Slade’s bloody 2007 horror 30 Days Of Night pits a sheriff (played by Josh Hartnett) against a horde of vampires in the snowy wastes of Alaska – and sunlight can’t save the residents of the small town of Barrow, as it has entered its annual 30 days of wintry darkness. Icon Film Distribution have
Based on a 2023 videogame, this Japanese horror explores similar “liminal” territory to Backrooms, following an unnamed man travelling on the Tokyo Metro who finds himself trapped in a deserted, endlessly looping corridor from which escape seems to be impossible. SFX’s reviewer compared it to 1997’s Cube and The Twilight Zone, calling it “an inventive
To me, the best time of year is any time when horror movies are crushing at the box office, and the horizon is dotted with upcoming horror TV shows, and this week is especially great due to all the genre love showcased in this year’s Emmy nominations. (Huzzah for Widow’s Bay!) Stephen King’s influence was
Pop culture may never know another embarrassment of riches quite like having three different Kaitlin Olson TV characters to look forward to in a single year, but my goodness, everyone who has watched the trifecta of High Potential, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Hacks can attest to these splendors. Speaking of the latter, her
A confession that will shock exactly no one: I have been a card-carrying Toriphile since 1994. Intellectually, I know the catalogue and career of Tori Amos with the encyclopedic recall of a savant; emotionally, I know the music of Tori Amos with the rapturous heart of my 14-year-old self, closely examining the light-soaked, soft-font lyric
Gwyneth Paltrow is an Oscar-winning actress who has spent decades as an A-list celebrity. But in recent years she’s largely stepped away from acting, instead focusing on her lifestyle brand Goop.
