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.

Pierre’s Vinyl Cut | January 31, 2023 | Bruce Springsteen
Today's vinyl cut album is 'The River' from Bruce Springsteen in honor of him kicking off the tour tomorrow with the E Street Band in Tampa. The full band will be here in Philly, March 16th at The Big Joint. I played 'Out in the Street' & 'Cadillac Ranch'. Looking at the insert reminds me of Casey, Jacky & Kyle's cross country road trip last year!
