METALLICA SCHOLARS INITIATIVE EXPANDS INTO EIGHT NEW SCHOOLS
ALL WITHIN MY HANDS FOUNDATION & AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO DISTRIBUTE $1.6 MILLION TO 23 SCHOOLS
“It has been amazing to see this program continue to grow and thrive. I get so grateful hearing from those who benefit from our grant. Hearing their story of doubt to direction. From those who are able to pursue additional education leading directly to meaningful employment. It gave us confidence that we are doing the right thing and inspired us to do even more. We are very proud and excited to work with additional schools encouraging even more Metallica Scholars to pursue a profession in the skilled trades.” – James Hetfield, Metallica co-founder, guitarist, and vocalist
In a year fraught with uncertainty, the Metallica Scholars Initiative outpaced expectations, prompting a unanimous decision by the Board of Directors to expand the nationwide program from 15 community colleges to 23 in 2021. The Foundation plans to donate $1.6 Million in funding with the goal of reinvesting in communities that have supported the band over the last four decades.
The Metallica Scholars Initiative was created in 2019 through a partnership between the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation (AWMH) and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), a Washington, D.C. based organization representing the country’s nearly 1,200 community colleges. Starting with 10 colleges located in communities that supported Metallica on tour, schools were selected via a competitive application process, each receiving $100,000 toward programs designed to support students training to enter the American workforce.
The Metallica Scholars Initiative has found success by connecting students to skill-building opportunities in their local communities, bridging the talent needs of the American workforce through the community college system. Kicking off the third year of the program, AWMH will be joined once again by Rockford, Michigan-based Wolverine Boots and Apparel, along with other notable partners to be announced, supplementing All Within My Hands’ cumulative $1.6 million contribution. Wolverine VP of Marketing Andrew Shripka commented, “Wolverine is dedicated to supporting the people who have the grit and work ethic it takes to pursue a career in the trades, and we are excited to join forces again with All Within My Hands to support the next class of Metallica Scholars.”
Final reports from all 15 schools in 2020 proved that, even with the obvious complications presented by a pandemic, each school selected for the Metallica Scholars grant successfully modified programming to provide students with industry-relevant applied learning programs based on local demands. Funding served over 1,000 students at community colleges across the US in career and technical training programs last year, and outcomes exceeded expectations.
From Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte: “97.6% of the Metallica Scholars scheduled to graduate in the spring or summer 2020 semesters were successful. Students across ten different academic health programs were supported by Metallica Scholars funds. Certification exam pass rates and employment rates of those who were eligible exceeded 90%.”
While high rates of achievement are certainly proof that the Metallica Scholars Initiative is accomplishing its goals, the Foundation finds inspiration from personal anecdotes shared by the students themselves. Emma-Lynn Ponds, a welding scholar from Valencia College, articulates how her training goes beyond establishing a career path when she says, “The whole reason I’m doing this is because I wanna be the first in my family to break the cycle of poverty.”
Jennifer Worth, Senior Vice President of Workforce and Economic Development at the American Association of Community Colleges, works closely with AWMH to connect students with employment opportunities. She speaks to the relationships between Metallica/AWMH and AACC as well as that between the scholars and the growing workforce in communities across the country saying, “AACC is honored to manage the All Within My Hands’ Metallica Scholars Initiative. As we engage more communities, we have the opportunity to connect with more industry partners, each of which affirms that high-quality, skilled trade jobs are available, and community colleges are the premier places to train and amass talent. We will not stop doing this work until that recognition is as awesomely global as the band’s trust in us, our colleges, and the students with whom we work.”
This announcement comes on the heels of a special Metallica Mondays concert, streamed on YouTube as a part of the Foundation’s Month of Giving supporting Direct Relief and Feeding America. The fundraising efforts throughout May have included specially designed merchandise, a fan fundraising contest, and an autographed guitar auction. Conceived within the restrictions of COVID-19 and designed to adhere to the Foundation’s mission dedicated to creating sustainable communities by supporting workforce education, the fight against hunger, and critical local services, this was All Within My Hands’ second Month of Giving.
SECOND LOS ANGELES AND THIRD MEXICO CITY DATES ADDED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND
TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, MAY 28 AT 10AM LOCAL TIME AT RAMMSTEIN.COM
Jens Koch
“If we define fun as the unknowing acceleration of time, then Rammstein’s particular brand of self-obliteration, in which time collapses entirely, is a guaranteed good time” —THE NEW YORKER
“The commitment to excessive pyromania was epic stagecraft on a Wagnerian scale, several notches up from most arena rock. More important was that the six-piece band… wasn’t dependent on those fireworks but could have easily punished and soothed the senses to nearly the same effect with music alone.” —THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
“One of heavy music’s biggest and most dynamic live acts” —CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
The North American debut of the most extreme spectacle in live music will finally take place in fall 2022, when RAMMSTEIN brings its full-scale stadium production to this continent for the first time ever. Rock n roll’s most ambitious pyro-theatrical experience will be on display for a series of 12 open-air dates beginning August 21, 2022 at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal and setting seven U.S. stadiums ablaze before concluding at Foro Sol in Mexico City on October 4, 2022. The tour is produced by AEG Presents.
Due to overwhelming popular demand, the tour has added a second date at the L.A. Coliseum on Saturday, September 24, 2022 and a third show at Foro Sol in Mexico City on Tuesday, October 4, 2022.
***Tickets for the new shows will go on sale to the public 10am local time Friday, May 28. Tickets for the original shows will be honored at the rescheduled dates. To purchase tickets or for further information, go to rammstein.com.
The full itinerary for the tour, RAMMSTEIN’s most extensive series of N.A. shows in 10 years, is as follows:
Sunday, August 21, 2022 – Montreal, QC – Parc Jean-Drapeau Saturday, August 27, 2022 – Minneapolis, MN – U.S. Bank Stadium Wednesday, August 31, 2022 – Philadelphia, PA – Lincoln Financial Field Saturday, September 3, 2022 – Chicago, IL – Soldier Field Tuesday, September 6, 2022 – East Rutherford, NJ – MetLife Stadium Friday, September 9, 2022 – Foxborough, MA – Gillette Stadium Saturday, September 17, 2022 – San Antonio, TX – Alamodome Friday, September 23, 2022 – Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Saturday, September 24, 2022 – Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum*** Saturday, October 1, 2022 – Mexico City, MX – Foro Sol Sunday, October 2, 2022 – Mexico City, MX – Foro Sol Tuesday, October 4, 2022 – Mexico City, MX – Foro Sol***
RAMMSTEIN’s six-man lineup CHRISTOPH SCHNEIDER, FLAKE LORENZ, OLIVER RIEDEL, PAUL LANDERS, RICHARD Z. KRUSPE, and TILL LINDEMANN, has remained unchanged since the band’s 1994 formation and 1995 release of its debut album, HERZELEID. RAMMSTEIN’s second album, SEHNSUCHT, released in 1997, propelled the band to international fame and featured the GRAMMY-nominated single “DU HAST.” MUTTER, the third RAMMSTEIN album, was released in 2001 and was supported by what would be the band’s final U.S. tour for nearly a decade. REISE, REISE, the band’s fourth studio album, was released in 2004, preceded by the GRAMMY-nominated single “MEIN TEIL” and followed by fifth album ROSENROT in 2005. LIEBE IST FÜR ALLE DA, the sixth RAMMSTEIN studio album, was released in 2009 and reached #13 on the Billboard 200, making it RAMMSTEIN’s highest-charting album in the U.S. up to that point. LIFAD would be the first RAMMSTEIN album since 2001’s MUTTER to be supported by North American touring: On December 11, 2010, RAMMSTEIN played its first U.S. date in 10 years, a one-off headline at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The MSG show sold out in less than 20 minutes and was followed by extensive North American Tours in 2011 and 2012, which would sell out venues including the Forum in Los Angeles, Chicago’s Allstate Arena, the Bell Centre in Montreal and more. RAMMSTEIN made its debut on U.S. network television during the 2011 tour, performing “DU HAST” and “FEUER FREI!” on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!
RAMMSTEIN broke into the U.S. Top 10 for the first time with the May 17, 2019 release of its seventh and most recent album, which entered at #9 on the Billboard 200. Produced by Olsen Involtini with RAMMSTEIN, the untitled record is comprised of 11 new RAMMSTEIN tracks including singles “AUSLANDER,” “RADIO” and “DEUTSCHLAND.” The release of the album was followed by the sold-out Europe Stadium Tour 2019, which ran May 17 through August 23, 2019.

JOMORO today unveil “Saudades de lá,” the latest track from their forthcoming debut album Blue Marble Sky, out Friday, June 4 and available for preorder now via Sony Music Masterworks. With soaring vocals from Brazilian songstress Karina Buhr, the track’s distinctly Brazilian soundscape evolved as a collaboration with São Paulo-based multi-instrumentalist, producer and mixer Bruno Buarque, who contributed percussion, bass, clavinet and vocals to “Saudades de lá” – LISTEN HERE.
Meeting at the convergence of electronic and organic percussions, JOMORO is the moniker for the duo of…
JOEY WARONKER – Veteran drummer of session and live renown with the likes of Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash, Adele, Beck, Roger Waters, Air and R.E.M., and full-fledged member of Ultraista and Atoms for Peace, the latter of which also featured bandmate…
MAURO REFOSCO – International percussionist hailing from Brazil to Broadway—specifically David Byrne’s American Utopia—with additional credits ranging from Vampire Weekend and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Dirty Projectors, Bebel Gilberto and Caetano Veloso, among others.
With Brazilian flavor, alternative energy and an experimental expanse, the malleable nature of JOMORO’s music is on full display in the 12 tracks encompassing Blue Marble Sky, their debut full-length out Friday, June 4.
Blue Marble Sky was written, played and produced by Joey and Mauro, who made the most of their pandemic downtime trading files bi-coastally, and enlisting collaborators such as bassist Gabe Noel (Kendrick Lamar, Kamasi Washington), trumpeter Michael Leonheart (Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars) and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Mooney (Other Lives).
“Saudades de lá” is the latest offering from Blue Marble Sky and is one of two tracks on the album featuring vocals from Brazilian singer-songwriter Karina Buhr. It arrives on the heels of the release of “Until We Equal,” a baile-funk track with pulsating synths and politically-charged vocals from Brandon Markell Holmes. JOMORO was initially introduced in March with album opener “Mirror,” an instrumental track that has continued to find fans at radio with adds at KCRW, WXPN, KEXP and more. Among the album’s numerous vocal highlights are lead single “Delicate Butterfly,” which features “shimmering vocals” (Rolling Stone) from Lucius, as well as the beautifully downtempo “Nest” with vocals from Sharon Van Etten.
Ultimately, the myriad of styles and soundscapes represented on JOMORO’s Blue Marble Sky come together in one fluid and fascinating motion, culminating in a multi-tiered collection of music that showcases the breadth of Joey and Mauro’s backgrounds while drawing upon the talents of former collaborators and friends.
Sony Music Masterworks comprises Masterworks, Sony Classical, Milan Records, XXIM Records and Masterworks Broadway imprints. For email updates and information please visit www.sonymusicmasterworks.com/.
After a year spent considering what alternative career options might still be open to them, Madness have dusted themselves off, and gotten back to the only thing they know how to do properly – putting on a bloody good live show.
Produced by Driift, the company behind unforgettable online experiences for Nick Cave, Niall Horan and Kylie Minogue, ‘The Get Up!’ has been scripted by Charlie Higson and returns the timeless pop group to their element. ‘The Get Up!’ is a one-off event and streams May 14th in the UK, Europe & the Americas (May 15th in Australia, New Zealand & Asia). It will not be available on demand after it has taken place.
Starting in the abandoned streets of Soho, ‘The Get Up!’ will see the ghostly figure of Victor Marley, played by Charlie Higson, welcoming Suggs, Mark, Chrissy Boy, Mike, Lee and Woody into the forlorn, cobweb entangled World Famous London Palladium. A head spinning, hilarious, and head bobbing journey begins as our Nutty Boys embark on a live show in front of what they believe to be an empty theatre. Flitting through time and space, between the abandoned present day theatre of dreams, where ghosts from the past walk among us… the spooky backstage corridors, bars and dressing rooms of the Palladium…. and the front room of Mike’s Mum’s gaff in Kentish Town in 1977, ‘The Get Up!’ is unparalleled in its ambition and Madness’ ability to weave together unbeatable music and entertainment for all the family.
With a live set teeming with hits from their unrivalled back catalogue, ‘The Get Up!’ is also a chance for fans to hear new Madness songs for the first time ever. Madness will be joined on stage by very special guest appearances including some of the biggest names in music (and Mike Barson in a career making turn as Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II). This promises to be a joyous, definitive arrivederci to the lockdown era, as Madness usher the good times back in the way only they know how.
Fans will be encouraged to make a donation to #WeMakeEvents. #WeMakeEvents is an international movement to highlight the live event sector’s urgent need for support from government to survive the COVID-19 crisis.
U.S. audiences had a tantalizing taste of the upcoming global event, when Madness made its triumphant return to US network TV earlier this week on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!, performing “Our House” from the Palladium stage. ICYMI, check it out at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nikwIOF4958
With spring in the air, ‘Our House’ on the airwaves and plans afoot for a return to the road and yet more celebratory activity, 2021 is the latest step beyond in an incredible few years for the revitalised and evergreen nutty boys.

The grit of 1970s vinyl meets the grain of 1970s celluloid with “Down,” the infectious third advance offering from Daddy’s Home, the new St. Vincent album dropping May 14 via Loma Vista Recordings.
Co-directed by St. Vincent (a/k/a Annie Clark) and Bill Benz, the “Down” clip features its lead in full Candy Darling morning-after regalia, portraying a woman — under the influence? — careening through a narrative that meshes perfectly with the song’s urgent, anxious grooves.
“Down” follows “Pay Your Way In Pain” and “The Melting Of The Sun” — both performed on St. Vincent’s recent return to Saturday Night Live — as the final song to be released ahead of Daddy’s Home’s arrival. If early response to the album is any indication, it’s going to be a truly rapturous Home-coming:
“… it seems Clark has entered her ‘Prince around the time he turned himself into an unpronounceable symbol, and Bowie in his Young Americans phase,’ delivering slinky dancefloor grooves to match her angular lyrical provocations.” —AV CLUB
“In an industry crowded with artists who claim singularity, there is perhaps no musician more deserving of the label than St. Vincent… A decidedly retro turn for the forward-looking artist, it is an homage to her father’s vinyl collection, a sonic swirl of Steely Dan, Nina Simone, and Lou Reed.” —INTERVIEW
“St. Vincent’s sound is more electric than ever” —LOS ANGELES
“(FIVE STARS) It’s masterful stuff: a full conceptual realization, filled with great melodies, deep grooves, colourful characterisations, and some sonic detail that reveals itself over repeated plays.” —MOJO
“… surrealistic soundscapes and edgy lyrics in addition to her guitar heroics and exquisite singing. But the most striking aspect of Daddy’s Home is its warmth and its reflective mood” —NEWSWEEK
“Clark is the rare artist who can immerse themself in a different concept and aesthetic every couple years, tackle it head-on and totally shred in the process… St. Vincent has gotten to the point where we can’t look away, because there’s just nobody in indie pop quite like Annie Clark.” —PASTE
“(FOUR STARS) … a mutant strain of retro pop steeped in New York lore” —ROLLING STONE
Daddy’s Home was produced by Annie Clark and Jack Antonoff, recorded by Laura Sisk, mixed by Cian Riordan, and mastered by Chris Gehringer. The music was performed by Annie, Jack, Cian, Thomas, Evan Smith, Sam KS, Greg Leisz, Daniel Hart, Michael Leonhart, Lynne Fiddmont and Kenya Hathaway.Pre-Save the album now, or pre-order your choice of 8-track (if you know, you know…), CD, Vinyl, Deluxe Vinyl, and Cassette.

Following the release of first single “Delicate Butterfly” featuring the “shimmering vocals” (ROLLING STONE) of Lucius, JOMORO have now released the new track “Until We Equal” featuring Brandon Markell Holmes – LISTEN HERE.
Before reaching out to collaborator Brandon Markell Holmes to add his lyrical and vocal genius, Jomoro’s Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco created an instrumental track inspired by Brazil’s Baile Funk music and culture. Immediately inspired by the song’s energy, Holmes recalls, “When I initially heard the track I loved the energy. It was extremely fervent and urgent. My initial thought was: What do I write about?? What is important enough to match this energy. I knew it had to be about something meaningful, and at the time we were still heavily in the middle of George Floyd & Breonna Taylor unfortunate tragedies. I felt I had to speak.”
According to Joey Waronker, “We had no idea what to expect when we shared the music with Brandon in summer of 2020 but his first pass lyric was spot on. It’s interesting to me that the track is inspired by music that comes from community experience, and that Brandon caught the zeitgeist of this moment in which so many of us are coming together to express a need for more humanity. It’s been a great pleasure to collaborate with him on this track.”
As Mauro Refosco says, “Musically, ‘Until We Equal’ was inspired by the Baile Funk movement that has taken place in Brazil since the ’90s. With easy access to drum machines and loop making devices, it was just a matter of time for old Afro-Brazilian rhythms to make their way into these new aesthetics. The music here is built on a driven rhythm that migrated from the shantytowns to the mainstream.”
“Until We Equal” will appear on Jomoro’s debut album Blue Marble Sky, out June 4th via Sony Music Masterworks.
JOMORO is the alias of the musical merger of…
Joey Waronker – Veteran drummer of session and live renown with the likes of Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash, Adele, Beck, Roger Waters, Air and R.E.M., and full-fledged member of Ultraista and Atoms for Peace, the latter of which also featured bandmate…
Mauro Refosco – International percussionist hailing from Brazil to Broadway—specifically David Byrne’s American Utopia—with additional credits ranging from Vampire Weekend and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Dirty Projectors, Bebel Gilberto and Caetano Veloso, among others.
Blue Marble Sky was written, played and produced by Joey and Mauro, who made the most of their pandemic downtime trading files bi-coastally, and enlisting collaborators such as bassist Gabe Noel (Kendrick Lamar, Kamasi Washington), trumpeter Michael Leonheart (Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars) and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Mooney (Other Lives). The album was divided into vocal tracks, instrumental tracks and Brazilian tracks, its numerous highlights including the gorgeous downtempo “Nest” featuring Sharon Van Etten, a pair of tracks featuring popular Brazilian songstress Karina Buhr and more.
The last hurrah before the global shutdown available as an epic concert film and live album.
LINDEMANN “Live in Moscow” the full and uncensored concert recorded on March 15th 2020, out on May 21st 2021.
It was a spectacular farewell to a bygone era, the last great pre-Covid blowout: On March 15th 2020, Rammstein singer Till Lindemann and Swedish multi-instrumentalist and producer Peter Tägtgren took to the stage at Moscow’s VTB Arena with their project LINDEMANN to play two triumphant shows, recorded for posterity and captured visually by filmmaker Serghey Grey.
On May 21st 2021, the already legendary Moscow event will be released as a live album and concert film in a total of five physical formats. Fans can choose from a 2LP edition, as well as DVD, Blu-ray, and a special CD + Blu-ray edition, housed in a hardback digibook with 40-page booklet. Of particular note is the super deluxe box set, numbered and limited to 4,000 copies worldwide, containing the special edition album, two wearable masks with the faces of Till Lindemann and Peter Tägtgren, five art prints and a certificate of authenticity. “Live in Moscow” will also be available digitally (audio and video).
“Live in Moscow” finds LINDEMANN taking the listener and/or viewer on a dizzying ride through material from their two albums “Skills In Pills” and “F & M”, which have sold hundreds of thousands of copies globally. Highlights include “Fish On,” “Knebel,” “Frau & Mann,” “Steh auf,” “Platz Eins,” “Praise Abort,” and “Gummi”, to name just a few, with the English lyrics of the first album mixing perfectly with the German on the follow-up. In Till‘s unmistakable voice, everything sounds like LINDEMANN-speak anyway – and, as the Moscow crowds singing along at the top of their lungs would agree, that is an international language.
“Live in Moscow” makes the close of another era, as Till Lindemann and Peter Tägtgren agreed in November 2020 to move on from LINDEMANN and to dedicate themselves to other, separate projects. “Live in Moscow” is a memorial to the singular combination of two exceptional talents and the unique musical entity they created together.

Watch now HERE.

“This film is my love letter to every musician that has ever jumped in an old van with their friends and left it all behind for the simple reward of playing music,” said Dave Grohl. “What started as a project to pull back the curtain on the DIY logistics of stuffing all of your friends and equipment into a small space for months on end eventually turned into an exploration of ‘why?’ What drives us?’”
WHAT DRIVES US is an homage to the moment in every musician’s life when their commitment is tested and their desire to play music for others becomes an almost irrational act of blind faith. The first step to prove to yourself and the world that you belong is to load up your instruments, your talent and your courage, and get in the van to take your music to the world — a true rock and roll rite of passage. The documentary is also a tribute to every young kid who dreams of a life playing music. Dave was that kid. As were Ringo Starr, The Edge, Annie Clark, Steven Tyler, Ian Mackaye and everyone in between. The list goes on forever. While they all have stories — outrageous, unbelievable, insane, as well as poignant stories — they all share a common bond. At some point, before anyone knew their name, they had an unstoppable drive to share their music with the world. Their passion led them to leave everything behind, throw caution to the wind, and chase their dream.
WHAT DRIVES US follows young bands RadKey and Starcrawler who are taking on the world one town at a time, while also telling stories of the biggest artists in the music industry, recalling the romance and adventure, as well as the insanity and chaos, of their own time on the road. The film explores what it takes to turn a van into a home, and how the tricks of this trade have been handed down through the decades. There was a time before the digital age when players had to take the music to the people one show, one overnight drive, one dilapidated little club at a time. While the world has changed, the rite of passage has not. There is no other first step on the path to making it in music. You have to get in the van.
The film features interviews with an array of iconic figures spanning eras and genres, including: Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee, Pat Smear, Ringo Starr, Flea, Brian Johnson, St. Vincent, Slash, Duff McKagan, Ben Harper, The Edge, Mike Watt, Ian Mackaye, Starcrawler, RadKey, Exene Cervenka, Tony Kanal, DH Peligro, Charlie Gabriel, Jennifer Finch, Dave Lombardo, Kira Roessler, Pete Stahl, Lars Ulrich, and Steven Tyler.
A Roswell Films / Therapy Studios production, WHAT DRIVES US was directed by Dave Grohl, produced by John Ramsay, James A Rota, Mark Monroe, and Foo Fighters, and edited by Dean Gonzalez. Jessica Young was the director of photography and Brandon Kim was the sound designer and mixer.

ABOUT DAVE GROHL: Dave Grohl has been one of the most beloved and respected figures on the international music scene since his recorded debut with Nirvana on 1991’s generation-defining Nevermind. Grohl took center stage with Foo Fighters’ 1995 self-titled debut, the first album in a massive 12-Grammy-winning catalogue, including the band’s most recent release Medicine at Midnight (2021). Grohl has a well-earned reputation as a prolific collaborator through his work with Paul McCartney, Them Crooked Vultures, Queens of the Stone Age, late legends David Bowie and Lemmy Kilmister, as well as Mick Jagger, Neil Young, Elton John, Nine Inch Nails, Roger Taylor and Brian May of Queen, to name a few.
In 2013, Grohl made his debut as a feature director/producer with the acclaimed documentary Sound City about the Van Nuys CA studio where Nirvana recorded Nevermind in 1991, which would sell more than 30 million copies and transform the modern musical landscape. Premiering to unanimous raves at Sundance and achieving a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Sound City focused both on the history of the legendary studio and on the ongoing fight to preserve the human element of music. Grohl also directed the eight-part HBO docuseries Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways, which premiered in October 2014 and went on to win two of the four Emmys for which it was nominated (outstanding sound mixing for nonfiction programming and outstanding sound editing for nonfiction programming).
