The band "Vessel" releases a new video, the third from its debut album.
The band says the video captures its true spirit during a show held this past January.
If you have not seen them onstage, this is a must-see show!!!
The band "Haim" has officially announced its new album, "I Quit", due June 20 as the follow-up to 2020's "Women in Music Pt. III". Danielle Haim and Rostam Batmanglij produced the album. The announcement comes with the band's third single of 2025, "Down to Be Wrong", following "Relationships" and "Everybody's Trying to Figure Me Out".
The band "Green Day" - which protested against Israel last month by changing the lyrics of "Jesus of Suburbia" onstage at Coachella - releases another single offering a taste of the deluxe edition of "Saviors", due May 23. It is one of seven additional tracks on the deluxe edition, alongside previously unreleased songs including "Smash It Like Belushi", "Underdog" and "Stay Young".
"Parkway Drive", one of Australia's heaviest musical exports, returns with its first new music in three years.
"The mission statement for 'Sacred' is pretty simple: an anthemic wrecking ball of positive energy," singer Winston McCall explained in a statement. "Our lives and the way we exist in the world have increasingly been pushed through negative, hopeless lenses and frames. An obsession with everything we lack, everything we hate, everyone we blame, everything keeping us down."
A year has passed since former "Fever 333" members Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta formed their powerful duo, "House of Protection". The project is described as a genre-crossing blend of electronics, punk and hardcore. This week the band released the second single from its upcoming seven-track EP, "Outrun You All", due May 23 through Red Bull Records.
The band "Pierce The Veil" has released a new single, "Kiss Me Now", ahead of today's deluxe edition of "The Jaws Of Life". The new edition also includes a special cover of Radiohead's "Karma Police". Singer Vic Fuentes said the song is a love letter to his wife Danielle, about the fear of time passing too quickly.
The metalcore band "Of Mice & Men" releases a new single, "Another Miracle", its first new material since the 2023 album "Tether". Produced entirely by the band members themselves, the single deals with despair, hope and the constant search for peace amid chaos.
Since we mentioned "Green Day" earlier, we should add that the punk trio received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Despite the glamorous occasion, Billie felt as though he was preparing his own tombstone... Could it be connected to last month's reprehensible anti-Israel incident at Coachella???
A statue of Lemmy Kilmister will be unveiled today in his hometown of Burslem, Staffordshire, England. The bronze statue stands 2.25 meters tall and was made by local sculptor Andy Edwards. "Motörhead" guitarist Phil Campbell will place some of Lemmy's ashes at the foot of the statue.
The joint shows by Jonny Greenwood ("Radiohead") and Dudu Tassa have been canceled following pressure from BDS.
BDS claims that "Radiohead" guitarist Jonny Greenwood and Israeli singer Dudu Tassa are "using art to whitewash genocide in Gaza and the settler-colonial apartheid regime that underpins it".
The two were due to perform in London and Bristol next month. In an interview, Jonny said the threats had become very real and dangerous, and they did not want to put any crew members at risk.

Bruce Springsteen has released many albums during his long career, but it turns out he has even more that he finished recording and never released. That is about to change...
Next month, Springsteen will release the anticipated box set "Tracks II: The Lost Albums", a collection of seven complete, previously unreleased albums.
To promote the set, Springsteen has shared early singles: 2018's "Rain In The River" and a meditative 1995 trip-hop track, "Blind Side". The latter is especially striking, offering a glimpse of a fascinating alternative path Springsteen might have taken during the 1990s.
This week he shares a third song from the set: the title track from the mid-2000s collection "Faithless".
Legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has been sued again by musician Jake Holmes, alleging copyright infringement and incorrect credit for "Dazed and Confused".
Holmes, who says he is the song's original creator, filed the lawsuit in federal court in California. He alleges that two early live recordings were used in the documentary "Becoming Led Zeppelin" without his permission or payment. Sony Pictures, which produced the film, is among the other defendants.
For the first time in more than four years, a hard rock album tops the Billboard 200, and the honor goes to "Skeleta", the new album by Swedish band "Ghost".
Released April 25, it is the band's sixth studio album and enjoyed strong commercial success, selling about 86,000 copies in its first week. An especially striking figure: 89% of sales were physical copies, mainly vinyl. It is also a personal milestone for Ghost, its first US No. 1 album. Three of its earlier albums reached the top ten.
