Wolfmother - Love Train


Today we have Aussies finest, the classic rock band WOLFMOTHER, in 2005 they released the eponymous debut, a record that was exactly what rock & roll needed: a meaty, beaty, big and bouncy genre resuscitator that not only broke through to the mainstream, but broke big.

WOLFMOTHER was certified Gold in the States and Triple-Platinum in the band’s Australian homeland. Lead single “Woman” hit top ten on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks Chart and won a Grammy for “Best Hard Rock Performance.” Their songs became ubiquitous, appearing in films (Shrek, Jackass, The Hangover), video games (Need For Speed, MLB: The Show, Saints Row) and television commercials (Apple, Mitsubishi). Led by vocalist/guitarist Andrew Stockdale, WOLFMOTHER have amassed a global fanbase, played to packed-house crowds around the world, delivered show-stealing sets at star-studded festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Reading and Leeds, and have been invited to share stages with rock icons Aerosmith and AC/DC. For their induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame, Led Zeppelin personally invited Wolfmother as their guests (the band showed their appreciation by delivering an electrifying cover of “Communication Breakdown”).



But ten years after their arrival, WOLFMOTHER have returned with what could arguably be called their best work to date. With "Victorious", Stockdale once again arrives right on time: in an era dominated by single-song downloads, this is an album worthy of repeat listens from top to bottom. Following 2009’s "Cosmic Egg" and 2014’s "New Crown", the much-anticipated "Victorious" is an electrifying testament to the range and depth of Stockdale’s artistry. Recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles with two-time Grammy winning producer Brendan O’Brien (PEARL JAM, SOUNDGARDEN, Bruce Springsteen), the songs are edgy, inventive and uncompromising and rank among the band’s best ever.

WOLFMOTHER will perform at Park Stage today, Sunday 6/30, 6:30pm-7:30pm



Today's tune "Love Train" is a song featured on the 2006 international version of their debut studio album Wolfmother. "Love Train" was released as the fifth single on 18 September 2006.

The music video for "Love Train" was directed by Jay Martin, who described it as a combination of "band portraits and epic, heroic performance."

"Love Train" was noted for being featured in an iPod advertisement. It was also featured in The Hangover Part II.

Perry Farrell - Pirate Punk Politician


Perry Farrell — JANES ADDICTION and PORNO PYROS frontman and Lollapalooza founder—has announced his first solo album in 18 years. "Kind Heaven" is out June 7 via BMG.

Perry Farrell’s Kind Heaven Orchestra will perform at Park Stage on Sunday 6/30, 8:30pm-9:30pm

Today's tune "Pirate Punk Politician" is the lead single from "Kind Heaven". Farrell calls the tune “a good old fashioned protest song about today’s strongmen and their tactics of oppression”.

"Kind Heaven" follows 2001’s Song Yet to Be Sung and the 2011 JANES ADDICTION record "The Great Escape Artist". The new album features a collective of musicians called Perry Farrell’s King Heaven Orchestra. It also includes contributions from Dhani Harrison (George Harrison’s son), the CARS’ Elliot Easton, FOO FIGHTERS’ Taylor Hawkins, and others. It was co-produced by Farrell and David Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti.


In 2005, music producer Tor Hyams approached Farrell with the idea of creating a kids' stage with family-friendly fare at Lollapalooza. Kidzapalooza came to be that year, produced by Hyams and continues to this day with guests like Slash, Patti Smith and LeAnn Rimes appearing in the lineup of artists. Kidzapalooza makes Lollapalooza Stockholm a great festival for all ages – a world full of adventure and experiences for the whole family. Take your kids to see your favorite bands and retreat back to an area filled with entertainment and activities that encourage playfulness, creativity and laughter.

Enjoy lots of performances every day on the Kidzapalooza stage “Tältscenen”, with exciting acts such as James Hollingworth, Britta Persson, Orkester Pop, Oscar Danielson, Maria Llerena – among other activities such as a mini disco and theater shows.

Greta Van Fleet - Safari Song


A new dawn of rock ‘n’ roll is on the horizon. Channeling the spirits of and creativity of 70’s acts like LED ZEPPELIN, THE DOORS and THE WHO, the Michigan-band GRETA VAN FLEET became an overnight sensation and brought the attention of the world upon them. With their self-declared goal to spread peace, love and unity, the Kiszka brothers together with drummer Danny Wagner, struck gold in the hearts of their fans. 2017, GRETA VAN FLEETs first year as a professional band was a wild ride of sold-out concerts in North America and Europe, glowing press, accolades from a slew of fellow artists, millions of YouTube video plays and Spotify streams, and most importantly, the genesis of an extraordinary connection with their fans.


The four young musicians – twin brothers Josh and Jake Kiszka, younger brother Sam and friend Danny Wagner – found their passion for rock as they grew up listening through their parents’ extensive vinyl record collections, which helped give birth to the music they make today: a high-energy hybrid of rock ’n’ roll, blues and soul. Debut single "Highway Tune" topped Billboard US Mainstream Rock for four weeks in a row, while their debut full-length album from earlier this year, "Anthem of the Peaceful Army", took a similar journey when it topped the Billboard following its release. The band’s collective goal is to have people walk out of their live shows feeling invigorated, energized and exhilarated, and to take that feeling out into the world. With millions of listeners worldwide, a chart-topping album and an energizing live show, GRETA VAN FLEET are ready for Lollapalooza.



GRETA VAN FLEET performs on Tower Stage on Saturday 6/29, 7:30pm-8:30pm

Today's tune "Safari Song" taken from the second EP "From the Fires", here GRETA VAN FLEET performs the tune during a 101WKQX intimate session in The Lounge, enjoy!

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - Crowbar


Forget everything you know about Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. Cast aside the savage brilliance of 2015 debut "Blossom" and Top Ten follow up "Modern Ruin". Erase from your mind a live show which remains the most thrillingly visceral experience in contemporary rock. Because everything they’ve done up until now has been leading to their jaw-dropping third album, "End Of Suffering".

Just six months in the making, End Of Suffering - named after the Buddhist term for enlightenment- is the sound of a band entering an entirely new realm of the senses. A forty minute rock’n’rollercoaster of molten-hot bangers, scorched-soul ballads and grunge lullabies laced through with a lacerating lyrical honesty, it’s both a stadium sized declaration of intent and a deeply personal cri-de-coeur.



Recording in Blackwood’s ‘shoebox-sized’ studio in Clapham, the band tapped into this kinetic energy, laying tracks down quickly rather than trying to recapture the feel of the demos. Following additional sessions at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire, a final layer of sonic stardust came via mixing legend Alan Moulder (NINE INCH NAILS/QOTSA).

The result is End Of Suffering. it pulsates with ideas, energy and –crucially- cracking tunes. ‘Kitty Sucker’ - where Frank leers “I’m a punk rock renegade/ A tattooed motherfucker dripping lust for decade” is designed to create mosh pit mayhem, while Tyrant Lizard King is more vicious still- the musical equivalent of a bloodthirsty knifefight between Muse and Kasabian on the set of Peaky Blinders.



Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes will perform at Park Stage on Saturday 6/29, 1:30pm-2:15pm

Today's tune "Crowbar" is taken from the latest album "End Of Suffering", enjoy!

Lana Del Rey - Mariners Apartment Complex


There are very few artists that can sculp a universe of their own. Where every detail is compelling and every phrase is true and sincere. Lana Del Rey is among those chosen few. The line between the woman born Elisabeth Woolridge Grant and Lana Del Rey is as needless as comparing her to other artists. The Queen of Sadness can’t be of this world. From a poolside in a glamorous ruin Lana Del Rey has proven time and time again that she is nothing less than a masterful storyteller. Old Hollywood, vintage music, rockets, the Kennedys and Marilyn Manson – even though her lyrics are filled with nostalgia they remain highly contemporary and the same goes for the gloomy, dramatic music. Always cinematic and orchestral, topped with hip-hop beats and girl-group harmonies. If you add some of the best songs written this millennium, it is obvious that this is her time and we are blessed to be sharing it with her.


Lana Del Rey released her masterpiece "Lust For Life" in 2017 but shows no signs of slowing down. Earlier this year she gave us the two singles "Mariners Apartment Complex" and "Venice Bitch", both taken from the coming album named "Norman Fucking Rockwell".

Gärdet, prepare to be transformed into Lana-land because this summer the Queen of Sadness will travel to Sweden for a highly anticipated show at Lollapalooza.

Lana Del Rey will perform at Bay Stage Fri 6/28, 9:15pm-10:30pm



Today's tune "Mariners Apartment Complex", is a song by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, released on September 12, 2018, through Polydor and Interscope Records, as the first “fan single” from her upcoming studio album, "Norman Fucking Rockwell" (2019). The song marks the first collaboration between Del Rey and Jack Antonoff, who wrote and produced the song together.

"The song is about this time I took a walk late at night with a guy I was seeing, and we stopped in front his friend's apartment complex, and he put his hand around my shoulder, and he said "I think we are together because we're both similar, like we're both really messed up" and I thought it was the saddest thing I'd ever heard. And I said, "I'm not sad, I didn't know that's why you thought you were relating to me on that level, I'm actually doing pretty good". And he was upset, and that's when I wrote the song. I thought, I had to do so many times, where you know like I had to sort of step on that role where I was showing the way and I was sort of being the brighter light. But that's why it's so cool that you’re playing it. 'Cause I thought that I'd just put it out and it would be one of those things that I'd put out just to have there for myself, but it's cool being able to share it with people too."

Bring Me The Horizon - Wonderful Life


Becoming one of the world’s most successful rock bands was never in the prophecy for BRING ME THE HORIZON. Yet here they are, mostly thanks to themselves and their ambition to carve their own faith no matter what. And Sheffield’s own BRING ME THE HORIZON has never walked the path of least resistance. Starting out as a deathcore band, switching to metalcore before finally creating their own space somewhere in between heavy metal and pop. The music remained crushingly heavy and brutally effective, but also began to incorporate elements of keyboards and odd electronic twists. The vocals evolved as well. Lead singer Oli Sykes started experimenting with a variety of expression to channel his inner turmoil. But whether Sykes screams, sings, growls or whispers it remains therapeutic and relatable.



With their grand, eclectic album "That’s The Spirit" (2015) BRING ME THE HORIZON demanded to be seen in a new light and cemented their position as a gateway band to heavy music. The album received critical acclaim and was rightfully dubbed “future-proof rock”. After a cryptic campaign, signs reading “do you wanna join my cult?”, BRING ME THE HORIZON returned earlier this year with immediate fan-favorite MANTRA which was followed by the bluesy wonderful filth, featuring Dani Filth from CRADLE OF FILTH, both from their coming sixth studio album "amo" that also includes a collaboration with Grimes. This summer, BRING ME THE HORIZON will bring their tight, loud, well-oiled rock machine to Lollapalooza!

BRING ME THE HORIZON will perform at Park Stage Sat 6/29, 8:30pm-9:30pm



Today's tune "Wonderful Life" taken from the new album "aмo". "Wonderful Life" featuring CRADLE OF FILTH vocalist Dani Filth. Produced by the band's vocalist Oliver Sykes and keyboardist Jordan Fish, the track was released as the second single from the album on 21 October 2018.

Halestorm - Uncomfortable


New week and no "Record Of The Week" which hereby takes a little break and comes back to the fall.

This week we focus a little on who comes to the festival Lollapalooza, we will take a little closer look on a few bands that I find interesting and next week we summarize everything.


First out is the true legend of how the two siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale, at the time 13 and 10 years old, agreed to start a band that were going to stick together through thick and thin is widely spread by now. The fact that they now, 21 years later, still honors that contract is quite moving. Together with Josh Smith and John Joe Hottinger they make up the Pennsylvania-based post-grunge/metal quartet HALESTORM. One of the most successful hard rock groups to emerge during the 21st century. Their aggressive but hook-heavy sound has taken the band around the world and won them a huge fanbase, restlessly performing several hundreds of show each year. HALESTORM is fronted by the incomparably charismatic vocalist and guitarist Lzzy Hale. Her truly blessed pipes has that rare ability to dance on the verge of exploding, but also knowing when to hold back. With a vocal range that impressing it makes understanding how Halestorm so seamlessly can incorporate both piano ballads and sing-along choruses to their expression, without ever losing the rawness, easier.

HALESTORM released their self-titled debut in 2009 which immediately caught the attention of rock lovers. 2013 saw their sophomore effort "The Strange Case Of…" that won them a Grammy for Best Hardrock/Metal Performance. After "Into The Wild" (2015) with four top 10 mainstream hits, HALESTORM returned last year with the widely celebrated "Vicous". Here we find the golden children of modern rock once again waving the flag of rock with pride and power. But HALESTORMs live show remains their backbone and given the fact the band barely left the road for the last 20 years, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they are considered to be one of the greatest live acts around.


HALESTORM will perform on the Park Stage Fri 6/28, 5:00pm-6:00pm

Today's tune "Uncomfortable" is taken from the bands latest album "Vicious", enjoy!

Black Sabbath - N.I.B.


Sunday, time for a classic and some cake, it's Thetanias birthday.

So for her, we play a tune with one of her absolutely favorite band BLACK SABBATH.

"N.I.B." is a song released by British rock band BLACK SABBATH. It first appeared as the fourth track on the band's 1970 debut album, "Black Sabbath". The lyrics are in the first person from the point of view of Lucifer. Lyricist Geezer Butler has said that "the song was about the devil falling in love and totally changing, becoming a good person."



"N.I.B." begins with a bass solo by Geezer Butler, titled "Bassically" on some US releases. It includes heavy use of a wah-wah pedal. The song's main riff (as well as Osbourne's vocal delivery) have been noted for their CREAM-influenced sound — the song has even been referred to as "the raucous defiling of CREAM".


When the song was first released, its title was widely rumored to have stood for "Nativity in Black", or to a lesser extent "Name In Blood". In a 1992 interview, Geezer Butler states that the title simply refers to Bill Ward's goatee at the time, which the rest of the band thought was shaped like a pen nib; also referred to as nibby. Apparently, Geezer Butler said: "Originally it was Nib, which was Bill's beard. When I wrote N.I.B., I couldn't think of a title for the song, so I just called it Nib, after Bill's beard. To make it more intriguing I put punctuation marks in there to make it N.I.B. By the time it got to America, they translated it to Nativity In Black." Ronnie James Dio can be heard mentioning (but not confirming) this assumption on several live bootleg recordings with the band from the early 1980s and on the 2007 released Live-CD Live at Hammersmith Odeon, recorded in 1982.


Enjoy today's tune and Happy Birthday Thetania, this one is for you! Here is a clip when BLACK SABBATH performing N.I.B. live at the Olympia in Paris, France on December 20, 1970

Queens Of The Stone Age - Feel Good Hit Of The Summer


Today it the day where we Scandinavians celebrate a thing called "Midsummer", herring and potatoes with snaps is the main thing on the menu, silly dance around a green pole of flowers and have fun about it. Outside games until your body hurts. Sauna and a swim usually end the evening. Some drink until they can't stand any longer, but most peeps just enjoy the first day of the Industrial vacation that usually starts for most Swedes. I do still have a few weeks more before I take some time off.


So for today, we play a true summer piece to celebrate this day.

"Feel Good Hit of the Summer" is a song by American rock band QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and written by band members Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri. It is the opening track of their second album, "Rated R", and the second single to be released from it. Upon the album's release, "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" had particular attention drawn to it due to the song's focus on drugs. Despite this, critical reception to the song was generally positive, with various critics considering it a highlight of the album.

Josh Homme claimed the song was conceived after his three-day Millennium party. The song's lyrics are merely a list of drugs repeated throughout. The drugs listed in the verses are nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol, with cocaine mentioned throughout the chorus. Homme has hinted that the song is a direct reference to the band's stoner rock label:

"Feel Good Hit of the Summer" might be like a knife in the neck of stoner rock. It's hard to tell, and I think that's the good part about it. Look, you're always going to get labeled with something. Stoner rock is kind of a dumbing-down label, and that's why I don't gravitate toward it.

On multiple occasions, Homme has also referred to the song as a "social experiment" in regards to how the public would approach it. He has also stated that despite the heavy drugs content in the track, the band's stance was left ambiguous, stating that "there's no endorsement" and that "doesn't say yes or no". Chris Goss, who co-produced "Rated R" with Homme under the pseudonym The 5:15ers, later stated that the track was intended to be a "joke" and a "funny song". He also commented that it was originally recorded as a chant at the end of the album, but its effectiveness resulted in its expansion into a full song and usage as the opener.

Though it was Josh Homme who provided lead vocals, there are several other vocalists present on the track. JUDAS PRIEST lead singer Rob Halford was in a neighboring studio when this song was first recorded and ended up singing backing vocals at the band's request, calling the lyrics a "rock and roll cocktail". Halford's performance was only used in the final chorus of the track, though this was enough to have him credited alongside Nick Oliveri, Wendy Ray Moan and Nick Eldorado as providing backing vocals. The song features again on "Rated R" as a reprise after the eighth track "In the Fade".




Enjoy today's tune and have a wonderful Midsummer.

Dool - Love Like Blood


If there was one European rock band that raised more than a few eyebrows in the last two years, it is DOOL. The Dutch found their debut album "Here Now, There Then" in many "best of 2017" lists and reader polls, got it as Record Of The Week on July 2017, read it here! They have constantly touring the continent, playing every festival from Roadburn to Wacken, House Of The Holy to Graspop.

The "Love Like Blood" EP will shorten the wait for their second album with a cover of the eponymous KILLING JOKE classic and as well as live versions of "She Goat" and "In Her Darkest Hour" from Rock Hard Festival capturing DOOL's unbridled live power.

Singer/guitarist Ryanne van Dorst comments on the choice of the EP's lead track: "Apart from being a massive hit during our childhood years that was weaved into the very structure of our musical beings, "Love Like Blood" remains a gem to revisit over and over. And so we did on our first tour as a band, listening to it in the van, and started wondering what it would sound like without its signature staccato beat. Back home, we took the plunge and dived deep into its dreamy waters. After a few rehearsals, we started playing our version live and grew to it the more often we did. By now, it almost doesn't feel like a cover song anymore, so we decided to record and share it with you. Here's our tribute to one of the best songs ever written."


Featuring members of critically-acclaimed dark rock band THE DEVILS BLOOD and death rock group GOLD, DOOL is an explosive, unbridled force. The Dutch band radiates an undeniable raw energy that blends classic hard rock, gothic pop and psychedelic metal to create their own dynamic sound. Audibly influenced by bands such as SISTERS OF MERCY and SONIC YOUTH, DOOL bends these sounds to fit its own vision, giving birth to an ominous new entity. Led by striking singer Ryanne van Dorst (ELLE BANDITA) alongside guitarists Nick Polak (GOLD) and Reinier Vermeulen (THE NEW MEDIA), bassist Job van de Zande (THE DEVILS BLOOD, MALKOVICH) and drummer Micha Haring (THE DEVILS BLOOD, THE HANDS), DOOL has become a hotly-tipped underground buzz band on the strength of its captivating debut single, "Oweynagat" and a red hot live performance at this year’s Roadburn Festival, where the group exceeded expectations as the respected fest’s 2016 'Roadburn Introduces…' artist.

"Love Like Blood" was released May 17, 2019.

Enjoy today's cover!

Baroness - Gold & Grey


New week, time for "Record Of The Week"

"Gold & Grey" is the latest release from Georgia’s finest, BARONESS. It's been 12 years since they started their journey thru the color palette with the 2007's "Red" Album to today's "Gold & Grey". It certainly been an wild colorful ride for the guys, lineup changes, bus crash is a few milestones they have been true over the years. "Gold & Grey" was released on June 14th, 2019 on Abraham Hymns.

"Gold & Grey" is a massive piece of music with a lot of stylistic changes and instrumental experimentation. The Baizley cover art is absolutely stunning, the painting was born from a deeply personal reflection on the past 12 years of this band’s history, and will stand as the 6th and final piece in their chromatically-themed records. While "Gold & Grey" found the outfit once again working with "Purple" producer Dave Fridmann (THE FLAMING LIPS, MOGWAI), sequestering themselves at Fridmann’s remote upstate New York Tarbox Road Studio, the 17-track album ushered in two significant changes: a decidedly different recording process and guitar player Gina Gleason’s debut on a BARONESS recording that resulted in the band’s most collaborative and emotionally evocative release to date.

"Gold & Grey" opens with the high paced progressive "Front Toward Enemy", an high energy and angry tune, cool riffing and strumming bass lick. Follows up with the groovy and gothic tune "I’m Already Gone". "Seasons" rolls out of the box with some incredible drumming signed Sebastian Thomson, sounds almost like drum n bass before the rest of the orchestra spices it up with a progressive touch and make it pure magic. The tune have so many sounds that it makes it impossible to label it. "Sevens" is a beautiful piano interlude, before it leave some space to "Tourniquet", low-fi vocals and acoustic guitar that begins the tune before it reaches full blom with excellent twin-guitars. "Anchor’s Lament" soft interlude with some strings until it clear the way for the progressive rocker "Throw Me An Anchor" that have a wide spread from garage rock to progressive sound. The album slows down to a live touching "I’d Do Anything". "Blankets Of Ash" is a war ambient interlude before the atmospheric and soft piece "Emmett-Radiating Light" that continues with a softy "Cold Blooded Angels", a tune that slowly moves forward until it half way true shifts into a heavier sound. "Crooked Mile" is a light guitar interlude. "Broken Halo" have some excellent twin guitar playing. "Can Oscura" is an instrumental piece that steps out a bit with it Krautrock sound. "Borderlines" is majestic rocker with it's monumental riffage and catchy space chorus. The last interlude "Assault On East Falls" tickles on your nerve before the album closer "Pale Sun" that is another curve-ball on the album that show the great musicianship that BARONESS have in 2019 and "Gold & Grey" is a varied and ambitious piece of music and an perfect conclusion of the band’s color-themed albums.

Sum: "Gold & Grey" is a work of art.


Gina Gleason (guitar), Sebastian Thomson (drums), 
John Baizley (vocals/guitar) and Nick Jost (bass).
