  • Stevie Stone Not Strange Enough for Label, New Album 'Malta Bend'

    Society always celebrates the records that top the Billboard 200 album chart. Back of The Billboards is a Music Times weekly segment that looks at the opposite end: the new record that finished closest to the back of the Billboard 200 for the previous week. We hope to give a fighting chance to the bands you haven't heard of. This week we look at 'Malta Bend,' the fourth album from independent rapper Stevie Stone.

  • Photo Recap of Rock on The Range 2015: Linkin Park, In This Moment, Tech N9ne and More

    Some might argue that the range of musical styles present at Rock on The Range will never live up to the diversity of a Lollapalooza or Coachella. That may be true, but when you have bands ranging from In This Moment to Godsmack to Tech N9ne appearing in the same vicinity, you'll certainly get the most diverse looking bunch of people at one festival. Let Music Times sums up its weekend at America's largest rock festival with this collection of photos, no reading required.

  • Tech N9ne on 'Special Effects' Guest List, Hard Interjections and Planned Pusha T Collaboration

    Tech N9ne is having a good year, recently eclipsing his best sales week ever with new album 'Special Effects' and now headlining the Ernie Ball stage at Rock on The Range in Columbus, OH. The emcee sat it with Music Times to discuss the new album, breaking through to rock fans (and hip-hop fans), stealing drummers from his former tour partners, and also hinting at a Pusha T collaboration to come...hopefully sooner than later.

  • Mumford & Sons Drops, Tech N9ne Sets Personal Record on Albums Chart

    This week Warner Music became the first major label to report higher earnings from streaming than digital downloads, but album sales seem to be doing alright for Mumford & Sons, which tops the sales chart by selling 249,000 copies of 'Wilder Mind' this week. That's a sizable number but more than a 50 percent drop off from the band's previous album, 'Babel,' which debuted with 600,000 copies sold (the biggest rock debut of the decade thus far, in the band's defense).

  • Mumford & Sons Top Billboard 200, 'Fifty Shades' Gets Mother's Day Boost

    Mumford & Sons remains a rock band to beat on the Billboard 200, gathering its second no. 1 record with Wilder Mind. Although the band's original alternative fan base has raised an eyebrow at the use of electric guitars on the new set, sales still came out to 249,000-trailing only Drake and Kendrick Lamar for biggest debut of 2015 thus far. Although nothing to frown at, it's still a relatively low sales figure for Mumford, which sold 600,000 copies of Babel when that album dropped during 2012.
