Meet the new collaboration between Alice Cooper and Tom Morello. A little over a month after releasing "I'm Alice", Alice Cooper releases the second single from his forthcoming album "Road". The song, "White Line Frankenstein", features legendary Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, and there is no doubt the two have created a "monster", as the lyrics suggest.
The band "In This Moment" releases the first single from its eighth album, "Godmode", due October 27 this year.
And "Thirty Seconds To Mars" releases a new single, "Get Up Kid". The song by brothers Jared and Shannon Leto comes from the band's forthcoming sixth album, "It's the End of the World but It's a Beautiful Day", due September 15.
Now there is a new single and a new album announcement too. After we reported here that actor Keanu Reeves had shared a teaser of new music from his band "Dogstar", and after the band returned to performing together, we can now report a new single and album. Reeves is the bassist of the band, which formed in the early 1990s, and this is its first new music in about 20 years. Its third album, "Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees", is due in October.
The band "Greta Van Fleet" releases its third album, "Starcatcher", today. Bassist Samuel Kiszka said the album takes Greta Van Fleet back to a rawer sound, even to its garage days. Four of the album's ten songs have been released as singles so far.

"Blur" also releases its ninth album, "The Ballad of Darren", today. It is the band's first since "The Magic Whip" in 2015 and its shortest, with less than 50 minutes of music. The reason for the long silence is that its members have been busy with other projects. In April 2017, Damon Albarn's Gorillaz released its fifth studio album, "Humanz", followed by three more albums in June 2018, October 2020 and February 2023. Albarn also released his second solo album, "The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows", in November 2021. Guitarist Graham Coxon worked on soundtracks for "The End of the F***ing World" and "I Am Not Okay with This", and released the debut album by his project The Waeve in February 2023. Drummer Dave Rowntree also released his first solo album, "Radio Songs", in January 2023.

NASA wanted to emphasize the power of a launch to the Moon, so it turned to a band with plenty of power!!

Singer-songwriter Demi Lovato has decided to turn her past pop hits into rough, powerful rock songs. She plans to release them on "Revamped", a ten-track album with new arrangements, due September 15. Demi said the idea came during her shows, when she wondered how to combine her earlier pop music with her current rock sound. After trying new arrangements of several songs, she felt it was working and that the audience was responding positively.
On the new rock version of "Sorry Not Sorry", she teams up with SLASH !!
Remember how Hayley Williams joined Foo Fighters last month to perform "My Hero" at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee? Following that performance, Paramore decided to bring a beautiful acoustic version of this rock classic to streaming services. It was recorded back in 2006, but it took the band a long time to put it on streaming... Hayley wrote on Instagram: "Not long after Bonnaroo, Paramore fans used their powers to convince us to put this 2006 moment on streaming." Alongside the acoustic version, Paramore also uploaded an interesting electronic version, and believe it or not, within a few days the electronic version already had more than two million plays.
