As a longtime fan of Nine Inch Nails and Paramore, how am I just learning about Ilan Rubin\u2019s one-man outfit, The New Regime? Yes, I am a bit shameful to admit this lack of knowledge to you, Shockya readers, but there comes a time when even the \u201cexperts\u201d need to admit fault (insert a sarcastic tone). Rubin\u2019s repertoire includes being the drummer for these two bands as well as for Angels & Airwaves. He is also noted as the youngest person to play Woodstock at 11 years old in The Guinness Book of World Records. At this age, my main concern was blending in with other Juicy Couture wearers, not performing in front of thousands. Hats way off to you, Rubin. <\/p>\n
The musical mastermind will be releasing his third project \u201cExhibit A\u201d on May 7th. The upcoming album will be the first installment of Rubin\u2019s Exhibits\u2019 series, which will be compiled of several EPs. Recently, Rubin also announced that he will be rejoining Nine Inch Nails on the drums for their upcoming world tour as well as drumming on Paramore\u2019s self-titled album, which will drop on April 9th. With a full plate of work up ahead, which will hopefully include a Lollapalooza performance, Rubin\u2019s personal project emphasizes his own creative style. <\/p>\n
Penciling in and underlining May 7th on my calendar, I have just enough time to catch up on The New Regime\u2019s prior releases, which include \u201cSpeak Through The White Noise\u201d and \u201cCoup\u201d, and suggest you do the same. With these albums along with my unwavering Paramore obsession, this summer will be overflowing with Rubin\u2019s music.<\/p>\n
