Did SickSense Just Become A Completely Different Band?
SickSense isn’t exactly interested in staying in its lane—and the new Funerals EP makes that painfully obvious.Vicky Psarakis opens up about the band’s darker musical direction, the surprisingly personal story behind A Moment of Violence, and why chasing whatever happens to be commercially popular can be a fast track to sounding like everybody else.Then the conversation gets downright nasty when AI music enters the picture.

Are Re-Recorded Classic Rock Albums A Total Scam? (2012 Archive)
When classic 80s bands lose the rights to their original master recordings, they usually run straight to the studio to re-record their biggest hits.

We listen to Loverboy’s re-recorded tracks side-by-side with the originals, and the drop in quality is mind-blowing.
