Möngöl Hörde Re-emerge with First New Recordings In 5 Years "Godfrey Newman" & "Selfiestixamitosis" (Xtra Mile Recordings)

Möngöl Hörde is a London, UK-based Hardcore Punk/Noise Rock band consisting of Frank "Renrut" Turner, Ben "Awesome" Dawson & Matt "Nadir" Nasir. Both Turner & Dawson were former members of UK Post-hardcore/Punk band Million Dead, while Nasir is actively part of Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls. Following the 2005 dissolution of Million Dead, Frank Turner kick-started a now-successful solo career as a Folk Punk/Rock singer-songwriter releasing multiple albums through Xtra Mile/Epitaph and Ben Dawson currently plays drums with Palehorse, Mothlite, Queen of Swords, and Armed Response Unit. While Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls' are wildly successful and harken back to the sounds of Flogging Molly, Billy Bragg & Bruce Springsteen, I've always wanted something a bit more Punk/Hardcore-adjacent in the vein of Million Dead; so, I was extremely stoked to recently discover Möngöl Hörde's guttural, "Hardcore as f**k" self-titled 2014 debut.

"Lyrically, it's very different from what I do now, it's kind of depraved. The first song we wrote is about Natalie Portman's tapeworm using her as a glove puppet to lead an uprising in Hollywood..." Frank Turner remarked on the overall seriousness, or lack thereof, of Möngöl Hörde back in 2012. Now, five years after their debut, Möngöl Hörde have returned with a quick-strike 2-track digital EP entitled Godfrey Newman / Selfiestixamitosis. First, only available to purchase through their US/EU online store along with ANY purchase, now, the songs have been made widely available across digital streaming platforms. It appears as though "Godfrey Newman" isn't exactly "new," as it was previously featured as a Bonus Track on 2014's Möngöl Hörde. Although, "Selfiestixamitosis" is, in fact, the first brand spankin' new Möngöl Hörde recording in 5+ years. Also, in addition to the newly-released music, Möngöl Hördehave announced NÖRTH AMERICAN INVASIÖN MMXIX through December 2019. Dates for Möngöl Hörde's upcoming US Tour can be found at MONGOLHORDE.co.uk and both "Godfrey Newman" & "Selfiestixamitosis" can be streamed on your preferred digital platform.

[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
