Petition Aims To Have GWAR Experience A Wardrobe Malfunction At The 2015 Super Bowl Half Time Show
Jeff Cantrell of Morehead, KY has decided that enough is enough. He’s seen way too many boring pop acts at the annual Super Bowl and he can’t take it anymore. For a sport that’s as violent, intense, and potentially injury-causing as football, the musical show casings of the Halftime acts over the past several years have simply not met to those standards. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Boring, tame, and ultimately empty, Cantrell has decided that it’s time to spice things up.
This is where Change.org enters the picture. Cantrell organized a petition that asks Greg Aiello, Senior Vice President of Communications for the NFL, to allow GWAR to be the Halftime performance act in 2015. Cantrell writes several reasons, including, “Front man Dave Brockie writes a football column for MetalSucks.com called “Necessary Roughness” even the “The Dan Patrick Show” has an Oderous mask on display.”
For those who believe that this is a worthy endeavor that deserves your voice, head on here and bring the Scumdogs of the Universe to millions of TV sets around the world!
Meanwhile, GWAR will be releasing their new album Battle Maximus tomorrow. Pre-order your copy here. Head on belwo to hear “Madness At The Core Of Time”.

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
