Month: August 2020

Amid growing fears over delayed ballots, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday she is calling lawmakers back to session this week to vote on a bill that would bar changes to the U.S. Postal Service. Pelosi said she is calling on House members to return from their August recess this week and vote on the bill, called the Delivering for America Act. The bill would prohibit officials from implementing changes at the Postal Service until next year.

In a letter to Democrats, Pelosi cited President Donald Trump’s “campaign to sabotage the election,” saying he was manipulating the Postal Service to disenfranchise voters. The Democrats requested that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a Republican fundraiser and top donor to Trump who took over the Postal Service in June, and Postal Service Board of Governors Chairman Michael Duncan, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, testify before the House Oversight Committee on Aug. 24.

Corey Taylor says that his band, Stone Sour, are currently on indefinite hiatus. The band’s last studio album Hydrograd was released in 2017, with Corey focusing on Slipknot and his solo career following Stone Sour’s tour.

In a new interview, Taylor confirmed that the band were “on hold” for the foreseeable future while he and bandmates Josh Rand, Johny Chow, Roy Mayorga and Christian Martucci work on other projects. Taylor said: “I feel like Stone Sour has kind of run its course for now. We all talked as a band and decided to kind of put Stone Sour on indefinite hiatus. That’s the way it is.  We’ve put it on the shelf for now. Everybody’s going and doing their own thing.”

Taylor is preparing to release his debut solo album CMFT on October 2 and has released the tracks Black Eyes Blue and CMFT Must Be Stopped which features rappers Tech N9ne and Kid Bookie.

Nickelback has released a cover of Charlie Daniels’ famous song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” the first time the band has released new music since their 2017 album “Feed the Machine.” Daniels died at 83 in July.  The track features all four Nickelback members – Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger and Daniel Adair – along with Canadian guitarist Dave Martone.

“The Devil Went Down to Georgia” originally appeared on Daniels’ 1979 album “Million Mile Reflections.”  In Nickelback’s version of the song, the iconic fiddle of the original is replaced with the electric guitar.

Garbage are gearing up to drop a brand-new album, and vocalist Shirley Manson has revealed that the follow-up to the band’s 2016 album Strange Little Birds is “being mixed as we speak.”

Manson said to Rolling Stone, “We’re restructuring our business and changing the way we release records from the way we have in the last eight years. We have a lot of touring lined up, which of course we can’t carry out. We have a new record being mixed as we speak that’s going to come out next year. We’ve got three more songs to go and then we’re done. And then we’ll concentrate on the artwork and start planning for next year. We were really excited. We were talking with our team this morning, and things are still looking hopeful.”
