Pussy Riot, Alice Glass and Boys Noize have collaborated on a brand new song – watch the official video for ‘Chastity’ below.The track comes along with a video by Lil Internet and is a sugary hit of danceable synth-pop.Discussing the track in a statement, Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova said: “This song will put the patriarchy in a tiny cage and throw the key out.”Watch the video for ‘Chastity’ below.The new material follows Glass’ debut solo album, ‘PREY//IV’, which NME described as “a cathartic, horror-infused creative reclamation” for the former Crystal Castles singer.Last year, she shared a new song called ‘Lips Apart’ while midway through her ‘Trauma Bond’ tour of North America.That year, Glass also asked Machine Gun Kelly to apologise for what she described as “predatory behaviour towards underage girls”, stemming from comments that Kelly had made in old interviews.Tolokonnikova, meanwhile, has reportedly been identified on a list of Russian authorities’ “most wanted” criminal suspects.According to the Associated Press, Tolokonnikova – a founding member of the feminist punk group, which has long been controversial in their native Russia for their incitive protests against Vladimir Putin’s regime – was first spotted in the Russian Interior Ministry’s database of criminal targets in March. The revelation reportedly came via Russian news outlet Mediazona, which was co-founded by Tolokonnikova.It’s said that Tolokonnikova’s listing in the database shows her wanted for “criminal charges”, however these are not disclosed in any significant detail.

her ‘Trauma Bond’ tour of North America, Alice Glass has shared the studio version of ‘Lips Apart’, a song she’s performed on all dates of it thus far: The song was co-produced by Matt Radd and Jupiter Io, the latter of whom also largely co-wrote and produced Glass’ debut solo album, ‘PREY//IV’. It marks the first new music that Glass has released since the album was released back in February, however it predates much of the material that made it onto the album – per setlist.fm, she’s been performing the song live since 2018.It’s one of Glass’ more downbeat songs, contrasting sharp trap beats and glittering Auto-Tune with the artist’s melancholic delivery and gloomy atmospherics. Like several of Glass’ releases over the past few years, ‘Lips Apart’ touches on themes of trauma, abuse and isolation.

My Chemical Romance, the original Misfits and Nine Inch Nails confirmed to headline – get your tickets here.The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bauhaus, Sleater-Kinney, Descendents, Ice Cube, Bleachers, Action Bronson, Jeff Rosenstock, Alice Glass, The Wonder Years, Jimmy Eat World, The Linda Lindas, Cloud Nothings, Bully, Rocket From The Crypt, Bad Religion, Mannequin Pussy and many more will play the festival in Chicago’s Douglass Park from September 16-18.The original Misfits are due to perform their classic 1982 debut album ‘Walk Among Us’ during their headline set.Riot Fest has also booked the reunions of Yellowcard, The Academy Is…, Midtown and Sunny Day Real Estate for this year’s event.

Machine Gun Kelly blurting: ‘Black girls give the best head,’ during an old interview is beyond baffling at this point.The Bloody Valentine musician – who is engaged to actress Megan Fox – was hit with intense backlash after Crystal Castles singer Alice Glass shared a clip of him at the 2012 BET Awards, which saw him comparing sexual, ahem, talents between Black and white women, which resulted in an offended bystander walking off.‘My child’s Black. Black girls give the best head.

Machine Gun Kelly is now at the center of a second controversial old video that has now been unearthed, and this one is even more shocking than the first…

Machine Gun Kelly is being called out online after an old clip has resurfaced showing him making derogatory and offensive statements about Black women.

Alice Glass has asked Machine Gun Kelly to apologise for his “predatory behaviour towards underage girls”It comes after Glass shared footage of a 2013 interview with Fuse in which a 23-year old Machine Gun Kelly admits his celebrity crush was a 17-year old Kendall Jenner. In the clip, the interviewer then asks “are you counting down the days until she’s 18?”“I’m not waiting until she’s 18,” replies Machine Gun Kelly. “I’ll go now.

Alice Glass has said she’s the most consistent songwriter of her ex band Crystal Castles, explaining that it’s the reason why the title of her debut solo album nods to the group.The musician, who left the group in 2014 shortly after the release of their third album ‘III’, said that ‘PREY//IV’ is a deliberate reference to the numbering scheme that Crystal Castles used on 2010’s ‘Crystal Castles II’ and 2012’s aforementioned ‘III’.She explained in this week’s NME Big Read interview that the move was an act of reclamation, after alleging in 2017 that she had no choice but to leave the band following claims that bandmate Ethan Kath had physically, sexually, and psychologically abused her. (Kath has consistently denied the allegations).“This is my fourth full release,” Glass told NME as she prepares to release her debut solo full-length.

Alice Glass has opened up about her decision to write about her painful past in Crystal Castles on her forthcoming album ‘PREY/IV’.Speaking to NME for our latest Big Read, Glass got candid about her the reasons she wanted to share her experiences so openly.“If I could take a pill and erase all my memories, I would. I didn’t think I would be here – I thought I’d be dead for sure,” Glass told NME.

Alice Glass has revealed that the title of her forthcoming album is a nod to her former band Crystal Castles.Glass was speaking to NME for last week’s Big Read and reflected on her time leaving Crystal Castles after the release of their third album ‘III’.Three years after that in 2014, Glass released a statement about bandmate Ethan Kath, alleging that she’d been physically, sexually, and psychologically abused by her former bandmate. Kath has consistently denied the allegations.“Leaving Crystal Castles was the single most difficult decision I’ve ever made — that band was everything to me,” she wrote at the time. “My music, my performances and my fans were all I had in the world.

Alice Glass has spoken about her time spent working with late producer SOPHIE, who died almost a year ago to the day during a sudden accident in Athens.Speaking as part of this week’s NME Big Read, the Canadian singer-songwriter (real name Margaret Osborn) explained how the contemporary pop pioneer was occasionally a sounding board for her upcoming debut solo album, ‘PREY//IV’.“SOPHIE was one of those people who was talented at everything,” Glass explained. “I’m pretty sure she could play any instrument; pretty intimidating as an artist, but really inspirational.”Glass, the former frontwoman of electronic duo Crystal Castles, revealed that it was actually SOPHIE who suggested she put out her latest single, ‘Fair Game’.“We’d hang out and I would always get so nervous to play tracks from my record to her, but she told me she wanted to do a remix for ‘Fair Game’ and actually convinced me to put that single out,” she said.

Alice Glass has shared a new solo single called ‘Love Is Violence’ – you can listen to it below.The track will appear on the former Crystal Castles singer’s debut solo album ‘PREY//IV’, which is due for release on February 16. It follows on from last year’s ‘Baby Teeth’, ‘Suffer And Swallow’ and ‘Fair Game’.“Almost everyone can relate to the sometimes unbearable ups and downs that occur in relationships,” Glass explained of the inspiration behind her latest offering.“But for those of us who have dealt with manipulative or toxic partners, there is a whole other layer of pain.
