“Plush” is to date The Stone Temple Pilots biggest hit. Although it appears as the second single released from their 1992 debut album “Core”, it happens to be the bands most notable song. That’s saying a lot considering the bands decently long career and all the heckling and criticism …

Believe it or not, but Italian music is not only Al Bano and Romina Power and Eros Ramazzotti. So far, the work of musicians from the peninsula was not a global object of desire, but that may soon change the album “Eden” Yummare group makes that we can be …
