AC/DC Drummer Beats Wife Assault Charge

Sleazeroxx.com reports: The drummer of rock band AC/DC has escaped a criminal conviction because it would hurt his career - despite admitting he assaulted his former partner in Mount Maunganui. 

Phillip Rudd, who was born Phillip Hugh Norman Witschke Rudzevecuis, pleaded guilty to one charge of common assault when he appeared in Tauranga District Court yesterday. 

The self-employed musician pleaded guilty after police reduced the charge from the more serious offence of male assaults female, which attracts a prison sentence of up to two years. 

But Judge Robert Kerr discharged Witschke, 53, without conviction. His lawyer, Matthew Ward-Johnson, successfully argued a conviction would have a significant impact on his client's musical career and therefore outweigh the gravity of his offence.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Mallcore is Dead

punkbands reports: This story isn't about your favorite band or a band you want to whine and bitch about, it's about a store that most likely sells their merchandise. The thing is... no one shops there. There's a story on CNN.com talking about how Hot Topic is trying to change its image to attract the consumers who have moved on (to Hollister most likely).

"We still describe our stores as edgy but they're not as foreboding as they once were," James McGinty told CNN. "Our new stores don't scare you away."

...For those who care, Hot Topic's sister store Torrid (a fat girl's Hot Topic) is doing better. Go figure.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
