Gish is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins, released in May if 1991!
Regarding the album's thematic content, frontman Billy Corgan said on MTV " The album is about pain and spiritual ascension. People ask if it's a political album. It's not a political album, it's a personal album. In a weird kind of way, Gish is almost like an instrumental album—it just happens to have singing on it, but the music overpowers the band in a lot of places."
Ben Gibbard describes "Roman Candles' as a concentrated effort to create something “succinct, loud and strikingly direct,” sharing that “the lyrics were cobbled from a couple of different songs dealing with my general sense of anxiety; the feeling that the fabric that weaves a functioning society together was crumbling during the pandemic.”
“To all who have waited, our dear fans, thank you, our fever to tell has returned, and writing these songs came with its fair share of chills, tears, and euphoria when the pain lifts and truth is revealed,” Karen O said of the new album. “Don’t have to tell you how much we’ve been going through in the last nine years since our last record, because you’ve been going through it too, and we love you and we see you, and we hope you feel the feels from the music we’ve made. No shying away from the feels, or backing down from what’s been gripping all of us these days.” -yeahyeahyeahs.com

Love released Forever Changes on this day in 1967!
In the highly recommended documentary "Love Story," arranger David Angel has high praises for the band: “I never heard any other group reach that level of art. I mean the Beatles had a wonderful combination and they had the right stuff. Everybody had a role and they did it right. But as far as a group that just created a kind of abstract rock art, I never heard anything like this group and that album”.

‘Capricorn Sun’ is both a statement of where she is right now as an artist and producer, but also a reflection of time she spent writing and recording the album, and the impact of global events, familial upheaval and personal struggles during that period.

“We started playing ‘Bunker’ almost as soon as the band started,” PVA commented on the track. “Originally just a looped groove, it has evolved into the .... track it is today through various compositions and outings live. The song tries to act as a reminder to overcome the want to chase things that ultimately lead to isolation.”

TEENAGE SEQUENCE is set to release his new single ‘D.I.S Connect’ on the November 8th!
Speaking of the new single ‘D.I.S. Connect’, the UK based artist tells a dark new joke: a story about playing along with rich hipsters' exotic-lover fantasies... For anyone who gets that being "woke" is sometimes less about high ideals and more about waking up in the wrong bed— or anyone who likes acid house synths and a fat disco bass— ‘D.I.S. Connect’ will be a nastily irresistible ode to pretentious parties and holier-than-thou cliches.
Get Inspired is Genesis Owusu's second single of this year!
The song comes with a new video:

The first part of the medley, “Whine and Grine,” is a cover of a song from the late 1960s by Prince Buster. The medley’s second part, “Stand Down Margaret,” is a call for the resignation of Margaret Thatcher, who had become Prime Minister of the UK in 1979, a year before the release of I Just Can’t Stop It.

Everybody Got Their Something was the first album released in 2001 by pop/soul singer Nikka Costa. Although she had released several albums internationally as a child, this was her first release in the United States.
Early next year, Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall are releasing their debut album as the WAEVE.
“Drowning is one of the more meandering, cinematic songs on the album,” they said in a statement. "The song touches on themes of allowing oneself to be subsumed by forces you can’t deny, whether that be romantically or life in general, of giving into the delicious risk of total failure and oblivion, despite one’s better judgment." bit.ly
Have a great day everyone, thanks for hanging out with us! Cheers!
