Joywave Teams Up with Marvel's J.L. Giles & James Asmus for "Obsession" Comic & Digital Single (Cultco Music/Hollywood Records)


New York Indie Rock quartet Joywave have returned with the third single, "Obsession," from their long-awaited third studio album. "Obsession" was produced at the band's own Rochester studio by founder Daniel Armbruster, arranged with his fellow bandmates Joseph Morinelli, Paul Brenner & Benjamin Bailey, and later, mixed by Dan Grech-Marguerat (The Killers, Liam Gallagher, Lana del Rey.) '"Obsession," virtually, encapsulates the genre-busting history of Joywave into one glorious track, melding irresistible Electronic Pop with typically sharp social commentary to fashion what Armbruster calls "a Cliff's Notes version of where the band has been and where they intend to venture next," boasts a press release. Now, Joywave have joined forces with Marvel Comics/Music for the multi-platform release campaign for their latest otherworldly single. Marvel recruited writer James Asmus (X-Men) and artist J.L. Giles (Black Panther: Soul of A Machine) to create an exclusive single-page comic strip starring Avengers' Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Thor, self-proclaimed Joywave fan, Captain America, and a handful of other caped crusaders.


James Asmus & J.L. Giles' Joywave "Obsession" comic will be featured across 90 different Marvel tiles to be rolled out through the month of August. Also, featured within said Marvel "Obsession" comic strip, is an original Joywave OBSESSION poster created exclusively for the band by Runaways' artist Michael Ryan. Plus, for those who might not be able to get their hands on a physical comic book within the next few weeks, Marvel Music has released a Jared Asher Harris-directed "Obsession" visualizer/music video featuring Joywave's original composition, as well as a sort of "moving" presentation of James Asmus & J.L. Giles' aforementioned single-page comic. Joywave will soon be joining BΔSTILLE on their upcoming Doom Days Tour, Part 1, which kicks off at The Met Philadelphia on Monday, September 16, 2019 and will run through late October. "Obsession" will appear within Joywave's eagerly-awaited, as-yet-untitled third album expected to land sometime in 2020, along with 2018-19 singles, "Blastoffff" and "Like A Kennedy."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
