Four years ago today, we lost the supremely talented Meat Loaf (Michael Lee Aday). He was 74 years old. I saw him three times in concert in Birmingham - more than I've seen any other artist. He was unbelievable live. Especially when performing 'Paradise By the dashboard Light". #MeatLoaf

Caught between the chaos of the stage and the grind of the scene, Nick Lowe and Elliot Easton take a rare moment to pause and catch their breath. A candid glimpse of punk life in 1982.

A snarling voice, sneering charm, and synth-punk swagger. Billy Idol took punk’s grit and turned it into stadium-filling electricity.

No one fused art school weird and tight funk grooves like Talking Heads. Their sound defined intellectual cool.

Will Sergeant recently sat down with the team at BOSS for a deep dive into his iconic Roland and BOSS setup — and how he’s been shaping the sound of post-punk since 1978.
A proper treat for gear heads and Bunnymen fans alike. 🎸🔥.
