Chvrches shook things up a bit during their performance session at BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge when the trio added some signature flair to a cover of Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s smash hit, “This Is What You Came For.”
The synth pop group made the Taylor Swift written track their own, as front woman Lauren Mayberry’s haunting vocals supplemented the song’s electronic elements with perfection. In addition to the cover, Chvrches also performed their original song, “Bury It,” for the program.
“Bury It” is taken off the band’s second full-length album, Every Open Eye, which saw a release in September of last year to critical and commercial success. Every Open Eye debuted at number four in the U.K. and became the first top ten charting album for them in the United States.
This year, the Scottish-based band had “Bury It” remixed to feature Paramore vocalist...

Attention Lady Gaga fans: there’s a new Little Monster in town, and he goes by the name of Nick Jonas. Yes, the youngest singer/songwriter of the JoBro trio put his paw up for the pop megastar on Friday by covering her latest single, “The Edge Of Glory,” during an acoustic performance in Los Angeles.
Like many of her fan covers that have flooded the world of YouTube, Mother Monster caught wind of the performance and took to Twitter to gush about his rendition. “Swoon! Nick Jonas singing The Edge of Glory … On my way to press conference in Taichung, listening to it. So dreamy! X,” Gaga wrote. Accepting her approval tweet, Jonas replied to the singer, writing “the pleasure is all mine. That is a beautiful song. Keep inspiring the world.”
Now, if Jonas’ Gaga fandom comes as a surprise, then you’re in for a treat,...

“Yorkshire Noir. Dickens on bad acid.” -- Tony Grisoni on Red Riding. Tony Grisoni did it. Wrote the whole lot. All 278 minutes of the Red Riding Trilogy, which was adapted from David Peace’s noir epics. Dread Central recently sat down with him to get the scoop on the details, the process, Poe, and even Terry Gilliam.
What we present now are only the facts — under the grim light of day. They say it’s a nightmare town out there, filled with corruption and woe. I’d say beware of wolves and stick to the path.
Heather Buckley: What is the origin of the title Red Riding?
Tony Grisoni: For administrative purposes, the English county of Yorkshire is divided into three; one of these is known as West Riding. So the title Red Riding plays off these historic boundaries. But, of course, there’s also the allusion to the...

Paramore frontvixen Hayley Williams has got a signature style that is tough and edgy but also just girly enough to remind everybody which chromosomes she carries. With a multitude of kids (and Paramore fans) headed back to school this week, Williams dropped some knowledge via her LiveJournal (how 2003 of her!) about her favorite lines and styles. She cited Dogpile as her favorite line (because it was worn by members of AFI and Brody Dalle). That green vest from the "Ignorance" video? That's from Dogpile, according to Williams. She also gives shout-outs to Katy Perry and Lucille Ball as style inspirations and notes that the dress she wore at last year's MTV Video Music Awards came from this boutique. But right at the end, she raises a glass to Miley Cyrus' Wal-Mart line. "Don't forget about Miley's clothing line in Wal-Mart. Dead. Serious," she wrote. "Good quality tees and tanks ... and if you're brave enough,...

Sure, they both have female lead singers, but the similarities go deeper, in Bigger Than the Sound.

I'm about to make a fairly simple comparison seem unnecessarily complex, but the situation demands it (also, that's what I do). So here it goes: Paramore are the new No Doubt.
The reason I am getting complicated here is because, well, to do this any other way would be lazy, not to mention a tad bit insulting. Of course, there's one glaring similarity between both bands: the dynamic, iconic frontwoman who also doubles as the media focal point. In essence, Hayley Williams and Gwen Stefani are covered the same and contextualized the same (can't wait for Hayley's '80s-tinged solo album!), so let's get that out of the way right off the bat. Yes, they're both pretty girls with dye jobs who are...
