A Jimmy Eat World x 'Integrity Blues' appreciation post.

To celebrate the release of Jimmy Eat World’s new album - their ninth album which is out today, FYI - we’ve compiled a few things that we appreciate about the long-time band.

First, here’s the lowdown about the new album:

Before Jimmy Eat World entered the studio to record their ninth full-length album, Integrity Blues [RCA], the members of the multiplatinum Mesa, AZ rock band did something they’ve never done in over two decades.

“We took a little break,” smiles lead singer and guitarist Jim Adkins.

Watch: The 1975’s Apple Music Festival short film.

A new behind-the-scenes video has been released about The 1975, and takes place just prior to the band playing Apple Music Festival - featuring interviews with them, their fans, and exclusive footage, which will probably give you goosebumps.

“We take our show very seriously, and we don’t take our backstage very seriously,” Matty explains.

Review: M∙A∙C x Selena.

M·A·C has just released a new Selena-inspired collection that was created due to an online petition in early 2015 for M·A·C to honour Selena’s 20th anniversary of her death. The collection is full of bright purple packaging and bold deep colours perfect for Selena lovers, although there is definitely something for everyone in this new collection!

Being one of the most sought after collections in M·A·C history, we were lucky to be able to get our hands on some of the products….

The U.S. Secretary Of Energy confirms "work in parallel universes".

Recently, the U.S. Secretary Of Energy, Ernest Moniz, appeared on Chelsea Handler’s Netflix talk-show to discuss if the U.S. government operates similarly to the show’s Department Of Energy - a.k.a. the hub of Upside-Down research and experiments.

Moniz says: "I can tell you first of all that I’ve never see [the show], but I am aware of it. Secondly, I believe this fictional [Department Of Energy] laboratory was operating in the 1980s, you can draw any inference you wish from that. Third, I would note that we do work in parallel universes."

Bon Iver announces gender equity campaign for tour.

Ahead of the tour in support of their new album ’22, A Million’, Bon Iver has announced a gender equity campaign called ‘2 A Million’, which aims to not only promote awareness, but also a “person-to-person connection in an effort to end gender inequality, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.”

Each city on the tour will see them teaming up with a different local non-profit, and merch will be sold at the show to fundraise.

See their full announcement that they posted via Twitter:

In his spare time when he’s not touring with Tame Impala (and previously with Pond), Cameron Avery has been working on music of his own - and has now released a debut single in the form of ‘C’est Toi’.

The song has been part of Cam’s live set for a while now - he’s performed it while on various opening slots for The Last Shadow Puppets earlier this year.
