The Bad Penny (beta)

This week alone:

• RFK Jr. effectively sentenced millions of Americans to potentially die thanks to his contested decision to roll back critical, effective vaccines that (sigh) do not have microchips or tiny aliens in them.

• Trump announced plans to expand the U.S. military presence (i.e. martial law) into Seattle and Portland, in addition to L.A., Chicago and D.C.

• Another preventable school shooting resulted in the deaths of Catholic children in Minnesota and inflicted trauma on an indeterminate number of kids and families.

• ICE unlawfully arrested a bunch of firefighters in Washington while they battled a blaze.

• ICE detained Kilmar Abrego Garcia again, apparently with plans to send him to human-rights-abuse-lovin’ Uganda instead of a gulag in El Salvador this time.

• Israel killed five more journalists in yet another bombing in Gaza.

And to cap it all off, now we have to tolerate the return of Mudvayne. That’s right: fucking Mudvayne.

PRESS RELEASE: Mudvayne Are Back! Band Shares Video for “Hurt People Hurt People,” First New Song in 16 Years!

WATCH “HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE” VIDEOSTREAM “HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE” MUDVAYNE RETURN! BAND DROPS FIRST NEW SONG IN 16 YEARS WITH NEW SINGLE “HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE” — WATCH HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF IN SEPTEMBER’00s hard rock provocateurs MUDVAYNE — Chad Gray [vocals], Greg Tribbett [guitar], Ryan Martinie [drums], and Matthew McDonough [drums] — have just dropped their first new single in 16 years with “HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE” via Alchemy Recordings. It was well worth the wait. Watch the visualizer and listen to the song here. “Hurt People Hurt People’ has probably been around since the beginning of man,” says Grayabout the song. “Certainly longer than the phrase ever existed. The endless cycle of projecting our pain onto others. I think I wrote this song as a reminder to myself to break the cycle. We create our own suffering, our own hurt. It’s time for us to create self-love and let go of the pain. It was never ours to begin with.” Mudvayne are looking towards their future as they also celebrate their impactful past. The song arrives on the eve of the band’s L.D. 50 25th Anniversary headline tour, which kicks off on September 11 and runs through October 26.  L.D. 50 was the band’s debut studio album, arriving in August 2000 via Epic Records and established the band as a new yet major player in the hard rock scene. It eventually went on to achieve a Gold certification. Years after its release, both Revolver and Metal Hammer deemed the album an essential of the ’00s metal class, rightfully so.  The tour will feature support from Static-X, while Vended will open.
