Christmas time just got loud with the new We Wish You A Metal X-Mas & A Headbanging New Year collection.

Another excursion through the back pages of rock, pop and experimental music to unearth some under-appreciated artists and albums. A squeamish mix of the relentlessly obscure, the modestly under-listened and the arguably best left forgotten… That Petrol Emotion What came after shoegaze and before grunge and britpop? Um… a baggy void in the British indie scene quickly filled by dance cross-over acts into which many perfectly acceptable indie bands disappeared without trace? [...]

Motörhead will play Minneapolis' First Avenue this coming August 28 with the Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy in support.

Bombshell is Tripwire contributor Zeena Koda's monthly metal column. In this, her first installment, Z sits down with Troy Sanders of Mastodon , Grace Perry of Landmine Marathon and the men of Torche . Metal wouldn't exist without three core things - intoxicants, babes and the BOOM. In this edition of Bombshell we have the trifecta for you; a legit babe who slays the mic with intelligence and beauty, as well as two seminal intoxicant heavy bands [...]
The ladies and gentlemen over at Metalhammer.co.uk are reporting that Girlschool are the latest addition to the Bloodstock Festival line-up. It was Girlschool's 30th anniversary last year - that's longer than most of us here at Thrash Hits have been alive. Tickets for Bloodstock 2009 are on sale now from the festival's official website for a recession-busting £99.95 + the usual fees. The festival is once again taking place at Catton Hall, Derbyshire, from August 14-16. It's gonna be a KICK-ASS weekend.

As some of you may have heard, Twilight star Kristin Stewart is slated to play Joan Jett in an upcoming movie about The Runaways. As writer Gil Kaufman aptly put it in an MTV.com article , this raises the question, "Just who were the Runaways?" I assume, reader, that you know the answer to this query, but what about the Twilight fans? And will they care? If biopics are going to vacillate from better-known figures, like Harvey [...]

Sad news for us Swedes: MTV is scrapping their big Swedish broadcasts that started just this summer. The four hour longs shows, Beat (centered on hip-hop), Fuzz (hard rock), Phaser (alternative) and Chorus (club, pop) will all be cancelled. Apparently today's kids aren't that interested in watching music videos after all, as the viewers were to few to keep up production. The time slots will eventually be replaced with more "international shows" instead. I'm really sadden by this, as these shows gave me [...]

Due to the passing of former Girlschool guitarist Kelly Johnson, I decided to make this week's Friday 5 all about girl rockers. It just seemed to be a fitting way to pay tribute to Kelly and Girlschool, as they probably paved the way for all of these bands in one way or another. MP3: Sahara Hotnights - Visit To Vienna MP3: The Coathangers - Parking Lot [...]

I try to keep my life as uncomplicated as possible, but occasionally I find myself riding a gamma ray laser to the heart of a distant neutron star on a mission of inescapable importance, my head pounding as my relative mass brushes up against infinity. Even though I'm traveling at 99.9999999999% the speed of light, my target is so remote that my custom soundtrack mix CD will loop itself, twice . Only for you, wife. Only for you. Class Action – Blast Off (from Tribute to Flexipop , Vol. 7) [...]
