STINGRAY is a newly-minted Punk/Hardcore/Metallic Punk band hailing from London. They've signed to UK-based imprint LA VIA ES UN MUS DISCOS, who has previous issued releases from Los Crudos, S.H.I.T. Limp Wrist, HARAM, Arms Race, Chain Cult, The Chisel, and F*CKED UP. STINGRAY's line-up consists of Nick Sarnella (Arms Race, The Chisel, Asid, Crown Court, etc.) Nicky Rat (Arms Race, Subdued, Annihilated, etc.) Tin Savage (Asid, Mankind,) Rich Clarke (Asid, Chain of Flowers,) and Luca Selvaggio (Gutter Knife, Never, Iradei, sometimes, The Chisel.) STINGRAY played their first-ever gig just this past Sunday. STINGRAY picks up right where Asid left off. Nick Sarnella, Nicky Rat, Tin Savage, Rich Clarke & Luca have re-emerged once more to play savage, filthy Hardcore.


"Chaos and punishment battle for supremacy in the battlefields of Albion once again, as the unyielding carnage of STINGRAY overloads your stereo and stains your brain. Rotting Punk gnashing between Metal-stained flourishes of hateful competence and a touch of total rhythmic lobotomy. Tin Savage's fantastic growled vocals trample his unmistakable London drawl across the five muscular and sickening tracks, the result of which is the musical child of Asid, E.N.T. Shok, B.G.K. and a musical representation of two skeletons strutting through an alleyway on an early 80's Chuy-designed Agnostic Front flyer. Boasting an A-Team of London Punk minds, a real lust for Metallic Punk, à la G.B.H. and enough panache to make an ear-piercing racket sound stylish: STINGRAY are simply on f***ing fire," LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS explains.


STINGRAY's debut EP, Feeding Time, boasts six pummeling tracks—one, "Internal Retreat," a digital-only bonus—which will be released both digitally and on mint green and standard black 7-inch vinyl, is now available for pre-order. It was recorded and mixed by Jonah Falco (F*CKED UP, GAME, Jade Hairpins) and mastered by The Greatest Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios with artwork by The Legendary Dream Team of Nicky Le Rat & Tin Sandwich Savage and photography by Harry Barden. STINGRAY's Feeding Time EP is out 9/17 on LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS. Two singles, title track "Feeding Time" and "Electric Elimination" are now streaming exclusively on Bandcamp.

[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
