    Album Review: Five Knives ‘Savages’

    Five Knives Savages Combines Pop Appeal with Electronic Beats and Rock Personality When I named electronic pop-rockers Five Knives the Artist to Watch in 2012, I never expected their debut album would (finally!) drop more than three years later. To be fair, the band released The Rising, an EP featuring five updated mixes of the band’s best tracks from before they inked a deal with Red Bull Records, in 2013. And now, after a handful of successful viral music videos, a stint on the Van’s Warped Tour and endless opening slots for bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and Twenty One Pilots, the born-to-be headliners drop the most exciting album of the year, Savages. Five Knives debut…

The music video, which already pushes limits with it’s controversial and gratuitous language, opens with Adam stepping out of a very steamy shower.

    First Listen: Adam Lambert “Underground”

    After his second album Trespassing failed to take flight, Adam Lambert and his then label parted ways. But with a voice like Lambert’s, it wasn’t long before he had a new team, a new deal and a new single. The Original High, the third record from the one-time American Idol runner up, will drop on Warner Bros.
