Alice Glass has released a video for her new song “Fair Game.” The dramatic clip, directed by Bryan M. Ferguson, sees the singer bound in chains in a darkened room and slowly shows her escaping.

“Fair Game is Trauma Core,” Glass wrote on Twitter as the video premiered. “Pain equalizes us all. Suffering is our great equalizer.” She added, “Crystal Castles was. Alice Glass is.”

Glass has released several singles this year, leading up to the release of her album, Prey//IV, which arrives on Jan. 28 via Eating Glass Records.

In 2010, Ben Lisenmeyer and Ron Diep were booked to play a college Halloween party. As two DJs who came of age during the French electro renaissance, they thought it would be both funny and poignant to tackle the gig in full Daft Punk regalia. So, decked out in silver android helmets and silicon suits, the Phoenix, Arizona duo took the stage with a rudimentary wooden pyramid evoking Daft Punk’s iconic 2006-2007 world tour.

Justin Bieber dominates winner list of this year's Shockwaves NME Awards by grabbing one prize in each of the "worst" and "least" departments. The Canadian singer who has a new haircut to get a more mature look is named the Least Stylish, saving Cheryl Cole, Ke$ha, Lady GaGa and Liam Gallagher from bringing home the title.

Bieber gets his other "honor" by winning Worst Album. The second CD of his two-part debut album "My World 2.0" pushes aside Cheryl Cole's "Messy Little Raindrops", Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", Kings of Leon"s "Come Around Sundown" and My Chemical Romance's "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys".

The "Baby" hitmaker actually got three nominations, and the one that he lost is Villain of the Year. Thanks to David Cameron, Bieber along with Axl Rose, Nick Clegg and Simon Cowell don't become the winner of this year's meanest character.

My Chemical Romance scooped two trophies at Wednesday night (February 23)'s NME Awards.

The rockers were the biggest winners, taking home Best International Band and Best Video for their track "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)" at the British Magazine's annual ceremony.

Muse were named Best British band, while Arcade Fire took home Best Album for "The Suburbs" at the event, held at London's Brixton Academy. My Chemical Romance, who opened the show with a rendition of "Na Na Na", were greeted by fans who had camped out overnight in the hope of meeting them.

After accepting their two trophies, frontman Gerard Way said, "When the fans vote on something it's amazing. Their dedication is just incredible. A night like this you really want to try and meet them, we met a bunch before we got in the building which made us happy. We...

Despite being hailed the best at some coveted prize-giving events, Justin Bieber ends up bagging three nominations in 'worst' and 'least' departments of 2011 Shockwaves NME Awards. The pint-sized singer is up for Villain of the Year along with Axl Rose, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Simon Cowell.

Last year's winner of the meanest character is Kanye West. Now, the rap mogul gets three nods for Best Solo Artist, Best Band Blog or Twitter and Hero of the Year. In the latest category, he is facing off the likes of Gerard Way, Julian Assange and Lady GaGa.

Also, Bieber's choice of fashion made him appear as one of the nominees for Least Stylish star. He is listed in this category alongside Cheryl Cole, Ke$ha, GaGa and Liam Gallagher. His third chance to win a 'prize' in the upcoming prize-giving event comes from his debut album "My World".

The 2009 effort is up for Worst Album.
