Ok Cage the Elephant, we see you as their song “Beaches in Tennessee” hits the number one spot in the world of rock. This is their second number-one rock song; the last time was the song “Shake Me Down,” which hit the top spot in 2010. But hold on, because Ninth Key almost beat them out last week, and according to a couple of charts already out, they will get there this week. On the other side, we get debuts on the countdown from Smashing Pumpkins and Spiritbox.
We also turned our spotlight to the Baltimore-based hardcore, punk band Turnstile. Although pigeonholing them into those genres doesn’t do them justice. Last week we heard from James Hetfield of Metallica and Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against the Machine about how much they love that band. While no one from the band joins us, we still decided it was time to tell a little of the story of Turnstile. We did hear from friends like Adam Gontier, Cody from Wage War, and Jack from Dead Poet Society.
