Chubby & The Gang's Jonah Falco-produced "All Along The Uxbridge Road" Single & Warthog's "Brainwasher" Music Video (Static Shock Records)

Chubby & The Gang are the latest signees to London, UK-based Static Shock Records, along with Barcelona's own Minima. "Chubby" is, of course, Straight Edge Punk/Hardcore player Chubby Charles AKA Charlie Fresh AKA Charlie Manning-Walker, who's previously played with Abolition, Arms Race, Crown Court, Guidance, and Violent Reaction over the years. According to Static Shock, Chubby & The Gang, also, consists of "three members of Gutter Knife," although, it doesn't specify which members exactly. Gutter Knife are a Brighton, UK-based Hardcore/Punk band consisting of Ethan Stahl on guitar, Ted Faux behind the drums, Sam Rack on bass, Luke Austin providing vox, and Luca Selvaggio on guitar. Chubby & The Gang are preparing to unleash their debut 7-inch/digital single on July 5, 2019 and Static Shock Records has released "All Along The Uxbridge Road" as a single online.

Ahead of the single physical release, "All Along The Uxbridge Road"'s Acton center label has been uploaded to Static Shock's Bandcamp page; just beneath the single title, it reads, "(Austin, Stahl, McMahon, Manning,)" which would, then, be Gutter Knife's Luke Austin, Ethan Stahl, and "?????" McMahon, as well as Charlie "Chubby" Manning/Walker. So, I'm guessing, the mysterious "McMahon" in question might either be Gutter Knife's Ted "Faux" Foster, Sam "Same Hrachevoc" Rack, or Luca Selvaggio. "All Along The Uxbridge Road" is being billed as a Double A-side, which, also, features ~~as-yet-unreleased~~ "Mockba" on Side AA. Both songs were produced/recorded by Jonah Falco of F*cked Up fame, as well as Career Suicide, GAME & Pavilion, and mastered by Will Killingsworth at Clean Plate Records/Dead Air Studios. Another recent Static Shock release, Warthog's self-titled 2018 7-inch, has just received music video treatment, as well; ch-ch-check out Warthog's wonderfully ghoulish Robin Pak-directed Claymation/animated video for "Brainwasher" down below the break.

"Debut double A-side from stalwart London face, Chubby Charles (Arms Race, Violent Reaction) and three members of Gutter Knife. Chubby & The Gang has a particular way of playing, easily summed up in one word: "SPEED!" Like an engine-modified Wilko Johnson driving too quickly through tiny familiar Northwest London streets. Debts duly paid to the preceding Punk & Rock "N" Roll goalposts nailed in at one end by The Kids and at the other, by Cyanide or The Carpettes. This is today's Punk in Britain."

[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
