Today the Paris Catacombs are illuminated by electric lights and friendly guides. But when Félix Nadar descended into this “empire of death” in the 1860s artificial lighting was still in its infancy: the pioneering photographer had to face the quandary of how to take photographs in the subterra...

TURNSTILE are proud to be at the forefront of hardcore’s resurgence.

"It's beautiful to see that it's something that is resonating with a lot of people, and that people are deciding that they want to come to shows or start bands, or just curious to see that sense of community. And a lot of people at these shows, for some of them it may be their first show, and for many of them, they may have been going to shows for decades. I think that curiosity and that spark that's been happening for so many bands is just a really beautiful thing to see."

This past July, Australian prog-rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard removed their discography from Spotify in protest of CEO Daniel Ek’s multi-million-dollar investment in a German AI military drone company.

Now, the band is “trying to see the irony” in what feels like a “truly doomed” situation.

Earlier in December, an AI clone of King Gizzard quietly appeared on Spotify. Crudely named King Lizard Wizard, the “band” had a discography of tracks with identical titles to popular King Gizzard hits. The artwork also weakly attempted to emulate King Gizzard’s notably surreal album covers, while the AI-generated music itself fell short of the original’s psych-rock influences.

King Gizzard frontman Stu Mackenzie stated that he’s “trying to see the irony in this situation.” An AI clone poorly attempting to fill the void of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard months after they publicly denounce Spotify for shady investments and embrace of AI? As Mackenzie put it, “Seriously wtf – we are truly doomed.”
