“The new album, ZIPPER DOWN, really represents to me an attitude and philosophy of life,” Hughes said in a statement “One should not zipper up, they should zipper down and let it all hang out.” Homme added: “In an independent study, four out of three doctors say ZIPPER DOWN is an eargasm trapped inside a crazerbeam. And I believe them.”
Eagles of Death Metal are on tour now. Find their tour dates below. They’ve also announced The Redemption of the Devil, a VICE-produced documentary about Hughes. You can watch a trailer for that below.

Raised in Philly and currently based in Atlanta, recording artist TNC Laid let go of his long kept pain in the latest release. Been Thru Some Things is an outcry as well as a message. While climbing the ladder of success by starting his own label, moving to a new city to be a pioneer for his hometown and landing his first major acting role for Black Mafia Family Season 3, Laid has been through a lot to get to this new level. Even though he lost people along the way, Laid continues to push on and be that guiding light of hope for a better day. Stream your copy of the single here and connect with TNC Laid on Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. Be on the lookout for his next anticipated project Time To Myself and check out the Potent Henry production and the Shot By NA directed official video below.
“This is easily one the most important songs I have ever done because it provides Hip-Hop with a solution-based perspective meant to combat some of the problems we face as a culture. It’s honest, raw, and transparent. I’ve been friends with Raheem Devaughn for a long time, so to finally collaborate on a song feels great. When I played the record for him, he fell in love with it and instantly added his parts; which took the song to another level,” say’s the David Found His Slingshot author in a exclusive statement to Medium Creative Agency.
