• After 10 Weeks in the Hospital, Kevin Sharp Dies at Home

    In the 1990s, country recording artist Kevin Sharp fought a very public battle with Ewing’s sarcoma, a form of blood cancer. Despite very slim odds of recovery and two years of chemotherapy and radiation treatments that permanently cost him his hair, the singer won the battle. This time, however, his medical issues were too much to overcome and he died at his mother's Fair Oaks, California home, Saturday night after suffering complications from past stomach surgeries and digestive issues.

  • 6 Artists Whose Sound Doesn't Match The Place They Came From: Thin Lizzy, CCR, and more

    With many artists, there’s absolutely no mystery as to where they hail from. The Beach Boys are quite obviously from Southern California, and Bruce Springsteen has made a career out of being a New Jersey native (at least, he might be).

  • Six Lead Vocalists Who Don't Write Their Own Lyrics: Ozzy Osbourne, Roger Daltrey, and more

    It's totally reasonable to assume that each member of a band writes his or her own parts: the guitarist writes the guitar parts, the bassist writes bass lines, and the vocalist writes the lyrics. However, there are some rare cases where someone in the band other than the vocalist writes the lyrics. Here are six examples of bands whose vocalists don't write their own lyrics.

  • Junk Mail: E-mailing about Future's new album 'Honest'

    Music Times writers share an office area of roughly 45 sq. ft, which makes having face-to-face conversations totally impossible. Junk Mail is these millenials' attempt to discuss and review the week's hottest album releases... without needing to look at each other.

  • WATCH: Avril Lavigne releases terrible 'Hello Kitty' music video for terrible EDM single

    Avril Lavigne is all about never growing up. It's basically been her brand to forever be that 14-year-old girl from Hot Topic. So it makes sense that she would release a single titled "Hello Kitty" from her most recent, eponymous album. Yesterday (April 21), the punky pop singer released a music video for the ode to Japan, and it's exactly the hellish, candy coated nightmare one could have expected.
