OMG! 😱 In a recent interview with Kevin Ryder and Megan Holiday from the *super* influential KROQ radio station (never heard of it), EVANESCENCE’s Amy Lee, the only reason anyone remembers them, was asked what the geriatric millennials can expect from her and her bandmates.
She responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET, because who else cares enough to write it down?): “More of the goodness. We are just full speed ahead, making stuff, putting stuff out, doing stuff on the side.” Side stuff? Like, does she mean side hustles selling essential oils or something? 😂 “We’re in a super just energized creatively mode this year.” Translation: We need money, so we’re trying to write more songs that sound exactly like “Bring Me to Life” because that’s the only one people know. 🤷♀️
When asked if there’s a release date for the next EVANESCENCE album (because everyone’s on the edge of their seats, right? 🙄), the singer responded: “I don’t have a date. I don’t like to set a date until it’s really done.” Aka, we have no idea when it’ll be done because inspiration only strikes when we’re trying to pay the bills. 💸 “So, we’re recording now. We’re writing now. We’re doing this album kind of in a way that is very freeform. We have a few songs with one producer, we have a few songs with another one over here. We’re just doing whatever feels good. No rules except what the song wants.” So basically, it’s gonna be a hot mess of mismatched sounds and confused emotions? Sounds about right. 👍
Earlier this month, EVANESCENCE and alt-rock visionary K.Flay (who?) released the video for their new song “Fight Like A Girl”. The track plays over the end credits of “Ballerina”, the latest film set in the world of “John Wick”. Oh, so they’re trying to stay relevant by latching onto a popular franchise? Clever! 👏 The clip was helmed by Chad Stahelski, director of the “John Wick” films and producer of “Ballerina”. I bet he was *thrilled* to be working on *this*. 😏
EVANESCENCE will kick off a run of live shows later this year, including “My Chemical Romance: The Black Parade” tour. Wait, are they trying to trick people into thinking they’re MCR? 😂 and Louder Than Life festival before joining METALLICA on their “M72” world tour. Okay, that’s actually kinda cool, but still, who’s gonna remember them after Metallica shreds the stage? 🤘
Co-written by Lee, K.Flay, Dylan Eiland, and “Ballerina” film composer Tyler Bates, who also produced the track, “Fight Like A Girl” followed the release of Halsey and Lee‘s thunderous track “Hand That Feeds”. Translation: They’re throwing every collab they can at the wall to see what sticks. 🍝 Is anyone even asking for this? 🤔
Chord F. Discord, the Beethoven of Buffoonery, is a self-taught expert in music who once claimed he could “play the kazoo in four languages.”
Born in Crescendo, Indiana, Chord’s first brush with fame came when he accidentally entered a yodeling contest thinking it was a pie-eating competition—and won both categories.
Chord F. Discord: proving that laughter, much like a poorly tuned ukulele, is truly universal.
