The band "Shinedown" is releasing a new single, "Killing Fields".
This is the band's third single for 2025, after "Three Six Five" and "Dance, Kid, Dance", and it presents the heavier and darker side of the band, with dramatic production and powerful riffs that bring "Shinedown" back to its hard rock roots.
The band "Aerosmith" and "YUNGBLUD" are collaborating again and releasing a new version of the song "My Only Angel", under the name "Desert Road Version". The new version features the comedian and legend Steve Martin, who adds a surprising banjo touch to the song... that gives it a completely different character from the original version released only about a month ago.
The band "Green Day" has released a video for the song "Suzie Chapstick", documenting all the madness of the "Saviors" era, the band's 14th album released in January 2024. The new clip, summing up about two years of shows, travels and behind-the-scenes scenes, shows the band on giant stages around the world and also in intimate and unexpected moments, like a surprise show at the Marquis pub in Covent Garden, and a spontaneous performance in a New York subway station together with Jimmy Fallon as part of his show "The Tonight Show".
"Almost two years have passed since we started the Saviors run", the band members wrote. "What a crazy ride it has been! The Suzie Chapstick video is a look back at all the chaos (and everything in between). A huge thanks to Ryan and Alice Baxley for the documentation, and to all of you who accompanied us - it was a real roller coaster!"
The band "Puscifer" has released a new video for the song "Self Evident", the lead single from the upcoming album "Normal Isn't", expected out in February 2026. The clip, filmed during the band's show in Los Angeles, presents the band's live and unique energy led by Maynard James Keenan, and combines dark visual elements with a hypnotic atmosphere.
The new album is expected to present a sharper musical direction, as Keenan described it, a "combination of goth and punk", and marks another step in the creative evolution of one of the most experimental and unique bands in the alternative rock world.
The band "Daughtry" has released a video for the song "The Bottom", from the album "Shock to the System (Part Two)".
The fourth single from the album presents the charisma and vocal power of Chris Daughtry alongside a dark and energetic sound that brings the band back to its roots.
The Welsh musician "Hana Lili" is releasing a new single and video called "Sick Of Myself".
After recently signing with the record company Nettwerk and opening a new chapter in her career, Lili presents a song that combines alternative rock with pop-punk, and describes a feeling of frustration and weariness with yourself, moments when you feel empty and directionless.
The final album of "Megadeth" will include a renewed version of "Ride The Lightning" - the song Dave took part in writing together with "Metallica". Dave and the band shared the tracklist of 11 songs of the final album, and in song number 11 a surprise awaits.... a "renewed" version of Ride The Lightning. Dave noted: "The decision was to pay honor to the place where my career began..."
The streaming service Prime Video has revealed a first teaser for the new documentary series "Paul McCartney: Man on the Run". The series focuses on the first years after the breakup of "The Beatles", and documents Paul McCartney's path to building his solo career and forming the band "Wings" together with his wife Linda McCartney.
Among the segments presented in the series will be rare interviews, never-before-seen archive material and an intimate look at the period in which McCartney had to deal with enormous media pressure, creative doubts and the need to reinvent himself after the end of the Beatles era.
We are already starting to lose patience but it is really getting close!!!

The band "Mammoth", which is actually the one-man band of Wolfgang Van Halen, has released its third album, "The End". The new album presents Wolfgang at the height of his creative power, as he continues to prove he is much more than "the son of". As on the previous albums, he plays all the instruments, sings, produces, and presents virtuosity and a personal approach to every detail and sound.

Friends, no need to get excited, there was no protest or hostility... Yorke only noted that he will not come to Israel because of the Netanyahu government.
We have always argued that music, while being protest music, should sometimes also consolidate and unite, and it is not clear why the band's fans should suffer because of one government or another.
Thom Yorke, vocalist of the band "Radiohead", revealed in an interview with the "Times" that he does not intend to return to perform in Israel. According to him, since the band's show in the country in 2017 it was drawn into harsh disputes with activists who argued that the show harms the Palestinian people. "For a long time I felt we were in the middle of a witch hunt", Yorke said. "This issue kept sleep away from my eyes. Now it is different. I definitely will not return to Israel. I don't want to get even 5,000 miles close to the Netanyahu government". At the same time, Yorke made clear that the situation is different for his bandmate, the guitarist Jonny Greenwood, who is married to an Israeli. Greenwood himself responded: "It's crazy. The only thing I am ashamed of is that I dragged Thom and the rest of the band members into this mess. But I am not ashamed to work with Arab and Jewish musicians, and I have no intention of apologizing for it".
The musician Matt Cameron recently shared a series of photos on the social networks that appeared to be from the preparation rehearsals of "Soundgarden" ahead of the induction ceremony into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame".
The Seattle band will enter the Hall of Fame at a ceremony to be held on November 8 in Los Angeles, alongside "Bad Company", "The White Stripes", Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper and "Outkast".
In the photos Matt published, Ben Shepherd, Kim Thayil, Hiro Yamamoto (the band's original bassist), Mike McCready of "Pearl Jam", Jerry Cantrell of "Alice In Chains" and Taylor Momsen of "The Pretty Reckless" were seen.
And if we are already dealing with "Soundgarden"...
The guitarist Kim Thayil of the band "Soundgarden" has announced a new memoir called "A Screaming Life".
The book, due out in May 2026 through HarperCollins, will tell the story of Thayil's life, starting from his childhood in Chicago, through the move to Seattle together with Hiro Yamamoto, and up to the formation of one of the most influential bands in the grunge genre.
Kim says he worked on the book over recent years, and it will take readers behind the scenes of the extraordinary musical journey of "Soundgarden".
The band "The Rolling Stones" is launching glasses!!!
