British rockers Coldplay have been sued by guitarist Joe Satriani over claims that the band plagiarised large portions of their Viva la Vida smash with his lyrics.

There’s no doubt that these cam-quality recordings will be particularly poor, but...

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails made headlines again this week as he released his new, four-part instrumental album Ghosts I-IV, at a variety of price points, including a $300 super-deluxe package.
