Only 11% of Russians say that sanctions have personally affected them or their family, according to a poll released on June 18 by the independent Russian polling firm the Levada Center. The figure has been steadily declining since a high of around 30%, shortly after the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine in March 2022. At the same time, a higher percentage of Russians said that sanctions had personally impacted them or their families in 2015, about 34%. Despite widespread sanctions, Russia's economy has remained surprisingly resilient, which may be connected to a decrease in ...

Who was the better nu-metal band of the ’90s – Korn or Limp Bizkit? That’s the debate that the center of this week’s Chuck’s Fight Club on Loudwire Nights! When it comes to nu-metal, it doesn’t get any bigger than Korn and Limp Bizkit. One band is often credited with pioneering the genre while the other is often associated with the genre’s peak pop culture moments. Korn have remained consistent as one of hard rock and metal’s top bands over the last three decades, generating such standout tracks as “Blind,” “Got the Life,” “Falling Away From Me” and “Freak on a Leash” among others. Limp Bizkit...

When former President Donald Trump agreed to address a conference hosted by an organization that opposes abortion in all circumstances, President Joe Biden's campaign cited the appearance as evidence of Trump's extremism on the issue. But in his brief recorded remarks at the Danbury Institute's Life & Liberty Forum in Indianapolis on Monday, Trump did not explicitly mention abortion at all, although he paid lip service to the value of "innocent life." That episode reflects the dilemma Trump faces as he tries to retain the support of pro-life activists without alienating voters who reject the h...

National polls show slight shift toward Joe Biden: In the roughly week and a half since former president (and presumptive Republican presidential nominee) Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies related to falsifying records to hide hush-money payments to a porn star, numerous national polls have indicated that voters have moved slightly toward incumbent president (and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee) Joe Biden. A HarrisX/Forbes poll found Biden and Trump each getting a one-point bump after the verdict. A Reuters/Ipsos poll found a one-point bump for Biden, with Trump losing a po...

Godsmack and Staind have both had great careers after enjoying late ’90s breakouts, but which of these bands is better? That’s the debate at the center of this week’s Chuck’s Fight Club on the Loudwire Nights radio show. Both bands started in Boston-area of Massachusetts around 1995 and saw a similar trajectory in their career, each becoming hugely successful in the 2000s after making impressive debuts in the late ’90s. Godsmack have remained a constant chart favorite since their self-titled 1998 debut, which gave us the single “Whatever” and started a run of hits that included the chart-toppe...

Donald Trump's presidential campaign famously promises to "Make America Great Again." As a rule, no one should think too hard about the meaning of bumper sticker political slogans. But ever since Trump rolled it out nine years ago, his slogan has quietly asked some seemingly unanswerable questions: When was America great before? And when did that greatness vanish, thus necessitating its recovery? The answer, it turns out, isn't a year. It's an age. And that age is roughly when you were between 11 and 16 years old—regardless of when you were born. Across generations, Americans seem to believe t...

Which is the better Shinedown album – Leave a Whisper or Planet Zero? That’s the debate at the center of this week’s Chuck’s Fight Club on the Loudwire Nights radio show, as we pit Shinedown’s debut against their most recent album. This also goes to the bigger debate of which bands have gotten creatively better over time, maintained a level of consistency or have seen a drop-off in their work. But regardless of the outcome, it’s safe to say audiences found and embraced both albums. Shinedown arrived on the scene in 2003 with Leave a Whisper, a solid debut album featuring drummer Barry Kerch, g...

Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down both used their platform to raise the political consciousness of their fanbases, but which of these veteran rock bands did it the best? That’s the question at the center of this week’s Chuck’s Fight Club on the Loudwire Nights radio show. Yes, these two politically-minded bands are friendly. Serj Tankian and Tom Morello even formed the Axis of Justice non-profit organization together. But as both bands would be the first to urge you to vote, this week we’re going to ask you to vote for one of these bands over the other. Rage Against the Machine dom...
