Iwrestledabearonce have announced a change in musical direction. �We were sick of getting lumped in with �scene� and �whatever-core� bands, so we decided to embrace our roots and just go straight black metal on the new album,� says guitarist Steven Bradley. �I'd say 90% of the new record is straight-up black metal, so we had to change our image to match...Because of course that's just as important, if not more so, than the music.�

Die Krupps have been forced to pull out of their upcoming tour with Front Line Assembly due to complications with the band's U.S. work permits - a situation that was completely out of the band's hands, and that they had absolutely no control over.

Our Canadian fans can see us this week at the Kinetik festival in Montreal, where we will be co-headlining the first night. Hope to see you all there!'"

On this day in 1967, The Beatles were selected to represent the U.K. for the first-ever global-wide satellite broadcast. The group agreed to be shown in the studio recording a song written especially for the occasion, scheduled for June 25. John Lennon wrote �All You Need is Love,� which was thought to sum up the 1967 �Summer of Love� and The Beatles' sympathies. With the satellite broadcast being transmitted to many non-English-speaking countries, the BBC asked The Beatles to �keep it simple.�
