This article originally appeared in the September 1999 issue of SPIN. “You must be high.” We heard that a lot during the time we spent preparing this issue. Which is understandable. Pronouncing the 90 greatest albums of the ’90s is a somewhat presumptuous thing to do. When you’re measuring the music this decade is offering to […]
The Shaky Knees Festival just unveiled its lineup and schedule, set for April 29 to May 1 at Atlanta’s Central Park next year. The annual fest is bringing in an eclectic string of performing artists, garnering the likes of Billy Idol, Chvrches, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Kurt Vile & The Violators, Death Cab […]
Following a banner year that included (so far) winning a Golden Globe, an Oscar, working on new music and producing a new Halsey album, Trent Reznor was ready to take Nine Inch Nails back on the road for a celebration of the return of live music. However, with the Delta variant of COVID continuing to […]
Music videos are the perfect bastard child of art and commerce, even more than pop music itself. A promotional visual accompaniment to a popular song doesn’t need a coherent narrative (although on rare occasions, they do).

A year and a half after the release of her third album, Manic, Halsey dropped a big bombshell — and it’s not just that her fourth album is on the way. The pop star’s upcoming collection will be produced by none other than Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, aka the reigning Best Original […]
The festival announcements are rolling in faster than you can say COVID lockdown. Riot Fest, which announced part of its lineup last June, has unveiled the whole thing and it’s a doozy. Nine Inch Nails (who are also headlining Louder Than Life a weekend later) are joining Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies and Run the Jewels at the top […]
Festivals are coming back in a big way. Events like Life Is Beautiful, Governors Ball, Outside Lands and Ohana Festival all announced lineups and are slated to return at the end of the summer and early fall and now, we can add Louder Than Life to this growing list. Metallica will play two nights – and two unique sets — along […]
For what appears to be their only scheduled shows for 2021, Nine Inch Nails will be returning to their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio for a pair of concerts on Sept. 21 and 23. The shows obviously mark the band’s first venture back to the city since they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall […]
After a couple of days of teasing a new collaboration on social media, the Los Angeles noise rock darlings and caps lock connoisseurs in HEALTH finally released their new track with Nine Inch Nails, “ISN’T EVERYONE” (via Loma Vista Recordings). The track is also produced by the two bands and mixed by Trent Reznor’s go-to […]
Good news for Nine Inch Nails fans. After a year of composing music, it seems like Trent Reznor is ready to write some new Nine Inch Nails songs. Moments after accepting the Oscar for Best Original Score for the film Soul at Sunday night’s Academy Awards ceremony, Reznor and Ross told reporters that “We [Nine Inch […]
