2021 single “Be Kind” is sweet, mellow and groovy, perfect chic lounge funk. Shiro Schwarz’s latest track, the joyfully nostalgic “Hey DJ,” is a collab with funkstress Saucy Lady and U-Key. Her latest release is an upbeat nod to classic West Coast funk, produced by Middleton, and follows her February 2022 groovy, collab-filled album, On Repeat. In the 1980s, electro-funk was born when artists like Afrika Bambaataa, Man Parrish, and Egyptian Lover began making futuristic beats with the Roland TR-808 drum machine — often with robotic vocals distorted through a talk box.

With someone like Steve Stevens, and then back in the day Keith Forsey producing… Before that Generation X actually did move around inside punk rock. The duo reunited in 2001 for an episode of “VH1 Storytellers” and have been back in the saddle for two decades. Their union remains one of the strongest collaborations in rock ‘n roll history.

In 2017, the group grew to six members, including singer and multi-instrumentalist Amber-Simone.

Let’s take a look at five women we lost too soon to an overdose. US pop singer Demi Lovato has issued her first statement after she was taken to hospital for a suspected drug overdose last month.

Even recently, Billie Joe Armstrong did his own version of “Gimme Some Truth,” the Lennon song we covered way back in 1977. We had punk and metal over here in the States, but it feels like England it was legitimately more dangerous. Maybe down the road John Lydon will get the chance to do John’s version of the Pistols story. Maybe someone will go a lot deeper into it and it won’t be so surface.

Benzodiazepines (BZD, BZs), sometimes called “benzos”, are a class of psychoactive drugs. In 2008, approximately 5.2% of US adults aged 18 to 80 years used benzodiazepines.
