The Replacements have reunited and recorded an EP to benefit former guitarist Slim Dunlap, who suffered a stroke back in February, Rolling Stone reports. The band plans to press 250 copies the four-song, 10-inch vinyl collection and auction them online, where they're sure to fetch a pretty penny. The record marks the first time since 2006 that the Minneapolis indie heroes have made new music, alth

Since announcing her decision to change genders after a life-long bout with gender dysphoria, Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace (formerly Tom Gabel) has been considerably reticent concerning the process of beginning to live as a woman and intentions to begin hormone replacement treatments. However, this weekend's show at New York City's Terminal 5 was proof that the celebrated punk singer ma
