R.E.M.

R&B-influenced ballad took an uncharacteristically direct approach to the subject of suicide.

Drummer's new group the Bad Ends just released their debut album 'The Power and the Glory.'

Guitarist doubts he played 'Batman' theme properly and can’t forget how embarrassing early R.E.M. concerts could be.

Guitarist says “non-musical stuff” became too distracting and the band quit at the right moment.

Guitarist explains how pandemic shaped his latest songs.

Reissue of debut EP has him thinking about beginnings – and endings.

A deep dive into every song on the band's landmark 1992 album.

'Automatic for the People' further cemented the band's status as alt-rock visionaries and superstars.

Initially planning to make a big rock record, they decided instead to focus on acoustic sounds and dark themes.

A record that began with a message about control ends with a song suggesting that we’re all powerless in the face of mortality.
