Amplified w/Darby

Metallica and a legendary filmmaker might be a match that absolutely needs to happen. There’s both messy and very cool news in the Mastodon world, Turnstile continues to show up everywhere, and I’ve had enough of bands inventing anniversaries just to sell us the same record again.Plus, new music, some unexpected collaborations, a rock documentary I absolutely want to see, and somehow we end up talking about veggie burgers and meatloaf dippers.And of course, I’ve got my New Rock, Not-New Rock and Not-Rock Picks of the Week — including one album I spent a lot more time with this weekend and absolutely loved.New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.amplifiedwithdarby.com

New music Friday is back, and there’s more here than I initially thought.This week on AMPLIFIED, I dig into the September 11 releases, including a few records I’m definitely checking out, plus a bunch of music news: new music from Slipknot and Spiritbox, some interesting movement from Korn and Dirty Honey, a massive Pantera event in New Orleans, Turnstile heading to SNL, and plenty more.Plus: why you should stop what you’re doing and listen to “Floods,” the Black Sabbath cover model making music with AI, a forthcoming King Diamond documentary, my thoughts on aging rock singers, and … Dungeon Crawler Carl.New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.Listen, follow, and find everything AMPLIFIED:amplifiedwithdarby.com

You’d think the week after the Grammy deadline would be a wasteland for new music. You’d be wrong. Embarrassingly wrong.This week on Amplified, I’m digging into a surprisingly stacked Friday release list, including new music from Accept, Amyl and the Sniffers, Green Carnation, Sleep, Chat Pile and a few records I’m checking out based almost entirely on the name.Plus, there’s plenty happening with Iron Maiden, some Van Halen news that immediately got my attention, Jason Isbell takes on AI, a punk supergroup returns, and we’ve somehow got rock bands invading video games and the NFL.It’s music news, new releases, questionable tangents and — after reviewing the tape — now with less yelling.New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.amplifiedwithdarby.comInstagram: @darby.amplifiedI’m glad you’re here.

A ridiculous amount of new music dropped, so Episode 84 starts with a few records and artists that immediately rose to the top — including Mastodon, Billy Strings and a band you may not know yet but probably should.Then we get into the week’s music news, where things get complicated. Skillet and Bad Wolves are at the center of a situation that raises some bigger questions about bands, beliefs, business and who should’ve done their homework in the first place. Ghost has fans wondering what comes next, and there’s plenty more happening across rock, metal and beyond.Plus: Myles Kennedy, Grandma’s House, Fear Factory, Andrew W.K., The Offspring, a pretty insane Ramones-related lineup and more.No algorithms deciding what matters. Just music, news, recommendations and the occasional unnecessary opinion.amplifiedwithdarby.comhttps://bio.site/darby.amplified

This might be the best New Music Friday we’ve had in a long time. There is an absurd amount of new stuff to get into, including some releases I’ve been waiting a long time to hear.Then we get into the news: a concert confrontation that gets completely out of hand, one of rock’s next generation proving a point five years later, an unexpected collaboration I desperately need to happen, some very strange venue problems, and more.This isn’t just a rundown of headlines. We talk about the stuff that’s actually interesting — and occasionally get wildly off track along the way.New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.Everything AMPLIFIED: amplifiedwithdarby.comFollow me on Instagram: @darby.amplifiedI’m glad you’re here.

Back from New England and right back into the weirdness.This episode: Queens of the Stone Age give us another taste of their new album, Ghost have more on the way, Julian Casablancas takes a shot at James Murphy, Ministry gets political, and the Daily Mail has a pretty significant Meg White problem. Plus, somehow, we end up talking about the Gathering of the Juggalos.And starting this week, I’m adding three weekly music picks to the Tuesday show:NEW ROCK PICK: The Afghan Whigs — Soft ControlCLASSIC PICK: The Pretenders — PretendersNOT ROCK PICK: Elanor Moss — The Knife and the NeedleNew episodes every Tuesday and Friday.Everything AMPLIFIED:amplifiedwithdarby.comFind me on Instagram: @darby.amplifiedTell a friend about the show.
