Author Pierre Robert

We have a winner for our Måneskin giveaway grand prize!

Everyday on the week of January 17th, we gave one lucky winner an autographed vinyl copy of Måneskin’s forthcoming album, RUSH!.  Each winner was put in the running for the grand prize: a custom Måneskin portable record player. Well folks, we have a winner…

Congratulations to Paul Varallo of Northeast Philly for winning our Måneskin giveaway grand prize!

To enter, listeners had to tune in to Pierre’s Vinyl Cut at 2:15(ish) every afternoon for their chance to win. Thanks again to Paul for listening in.

Måneskin’s New Release:

Måneskin’s new album, RUSH! hit stores Friday, January 20th from Arista Records. Rush! is the third studio album from Italian rock band Måneskin. You may have heard singles such “Mammamia”, “Supermodel”, “The Loneliest” and “Gossip”. Now the whole darn thing is out. This is the band’s first album since their surprise win at the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest. The new release features collaborations with Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello (who appears on “GOSSIP”).  RUSH! represents a new chapter for the band, with stylistic shifts that show how their pop savvy is complemented by a super deep love of rock music.

This 17 track album looks to bring the sound of the past to the kids of the present. Måneskin proves to us all that rock is very much alive with the youth. “With this record, we tried to experiment more and go in different directions. Each one of us has their own personality and individual tastes, so we tried to really enhance that instead of going in one common spot, we went for one song completely in Damiano’s direction, one in mine, and so the record has a lot of more variety,” said Victoria de Angelis, bassist for the band.

RUSH! is out now wherever you get your music.

From roughly 10:30am to somewhere around 3 (we call it Pierre Standard Time) weekdays Philadelphia rocks with (and loves) Pierre Robert on WMMR. Pierre Robert began his illustrious career at the pioneering progressive rock station KSAN, in his hometown San Francisco, but it’s through his uninterrupted 42-year tenure at Philadelphia‘s legendary WMMR that he’s made his mark. One of the city’s most recognizable celebrities will write about being at the center of its live music scene and greeting his legions of fans as if personal friends in the smallest clubs and largest stadiums.

Pierre's Vinyl Cut in Review: January 2023
