Tony Hawk gets some extreme — and sometimes questionable — half-pipe criticism from Brooklyn punks Surfbort in the new video for the group’s song, “Open Your Eyes.”
“Open Your Eyes” is a charmingly ragged blast of pop-punk, with guitarist Alex Kilgore noting Hawk was a perfect fit for the video since the song is about “navigating life’s difficulties with grace… not only is he the embodiment of physical grace he also gracefully transitioned so many obstacles and injuries.”

Grunge stalwarts L7 unveiled a new cover of Joan Jett’s 1983 track “Fake Friends,” featuring guitar and vocals from none other than Jett herself.
For their rendition of “Fake Friends,” L7 flattened out the boogie-tinged skip of the original and streamlined it into a snarling ripper. “Losing friends, losing friends,” Donita Sparks sings, with Jett providing the harmonies, “You got nothing to lose/You don’t lose when you lose fake friends.”
“To have Joan’s vocals on this track along with mine is super surreal and cool,” Sparks said in a statement.

Upcoming horror movie The Turning may take place in the Nineties, but you’re not going to hear “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on the soundtrack.
Instead, director Floria Sigismondi teamed up with producer-musicians Lawrence Rothman and Yves Rothman to create a whole new aural environment for the movie, which is a retelling of Henry James’ 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw. They enlisted a cadre of musicians — from Courtney Love to Soccer Mommy — to write their own versions of Nineties music.
“First of all, I wanted to get rid of technology,...
