About TESLA

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid-80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like Bad Company, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith.

The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”. Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other 90s albums from Tesla include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut.  The band continues to record and release new material including 9 new albums since 2000. Most recently, they debuted the single “All About Love,” featured on their All About Love EP—now available as a special edition collector's 12" vinyl. They also celebrated two highly successful Record Store Day events since their last residency, with both volumes of their limited-edition double LPs, Real 2 Reel Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, completely selling out. Both are cover song studio albums that pay homage to classic rock tunes from the late 1960s and early 1970s. TESLA brings their unique touch to these iconic tracks, recorded using analog tape and vintage equipment, with a dedication to preserving the raw, authentic sound of the era. The albums showcase the band's exceptional talent, captured in a live in studio setting, without the use of pro tools or an automated mixing console.

TESLA’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.

Darius Rucker's 16th Annual 'Darius and Friends' St. Jude Benefit Set for June 2 at Ryman Auditorium

Multi-time Diamond-certified superstar Darius Rucker returns to the historic Ryman Auditorium on Monday, June 2 for his 16th annual “Darius and Friends” concert benefitting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. The event, which unofficially kicks off the week of CMA Fest in downtown Nashville and has raised more than $4.3 million to date, will feature a surprise all-star roster of friends as has become tradition at the annual celebration.
 
“As usual, the evening featured multiple servings of the country music industry's past, present, and future for an essential cause,” noted the Tennessean in their review of last year’s show. “‘Darius and Friends’ has become a showcase for how much his superstar talents have expanded across genres after four decades of performing. Buying a ticket for the event ensures you'll hear his country chart-toppers…And yes, there's assuredly going to be some Hootie & the Blowfish classics…But the real win of the night is when Rucker steps out of his pre-supposed ‘comfort zones’ and as he did on Monday evening, performs songs like Bell Biv DeVoe's ‘Poison,’ Tim McGraw's ‘I Like It, I Love It’ and TLC's ‘Waterfalls.’”
 
Rucker, who was honored as the 2023 CMA Humanitarian of the Year for always prioritizing philanthropic work throughout his career, made a commitment to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital nearly two decades ago after taking an inspiring tour of the hospital. Through this meaningful experience, Rucker learned how St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
 
Following that impactful 2008 visit, Rucker’s effort has since become an annual tradition. Friends performing with Rucker in past years have included Lauren Alaina, Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Dan + Shay, Vince Gill, Jamey Johnson, Jelly Roll, Charles Kelley of Lady A, Ashley McBryde, A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys, Megan Moroney, Brad Paisley, Kenny Rogers and Tommy Thayer of KISS, among many others.
 
Tickets to the 16th annual “Darius and Friends” benefit concert are available via AXS.com. Pre-sale access begins tomorrow, May 1 at 10 a.m. CT, with tickets on sale to the general public this Friday, May 2 at 10 a.m. CT. The event is made possible with support from generous sponsors AMD and The Law Office of Jennifer McCoy.
 
For more information, visit DariusRucker.com and follow on social media @DariusRucker.

About Darius Rucker
Rucker first achieved multi-Platinum status in the music industry as lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the GRAMMY Award-winning band Hootie & the Blowfish, who have sold more than 25 million albums worldwide including their Double Diamond-certified (22x Platinum) debut Cracked Rear View, which remains among the top 10 best-selling studio albums of all time. Since releasing his first Country album in 2008, Rucker has earned a whole new legion of fans with four No. 1 albums on the Billboard Country chart plus 10 No. 1 singles at Country radio and 11 Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum certified hits. Rucker was inducted as a Grand Ole Opry member in 2012 and he won his third career GRAMMY Award in 2014 for Best Solo Country Performance with his Diamond-certified (11x Platinum) version of “Wagon Wheel,” one of the top five best-selling Country songs of all time. His latest album Carolyn’s Boy (featuring recent single “Never Been Over” with Jennifer Nettles) is available everywhere now as is his New York Times bestselling memoir “Life’s Too Short,” released via Dey Street in 2024.
 
As a lifelong philanthropist, Rucker co-chaired the capital campaign that generated $150 million to help build the new MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital in his hometown of Charleston, S.C. and has raised over $4.3 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through his annual Darius & Friends benefit concert and golf tournament. In addition, Rucker has advocated for over 200 charitable causes supporting public education and junior golf programs in South Carolina through the Hootie & the Blowfish Foundation and serves as a National Chair for the National Museum of African American Music in Nashville, Tenn. Rucker is also an avid sports fan, with his Darius Rucker Collection by Fanatics line of NFL, MLB, NHL and NCAA apparel available via Fanatics.com, and he is part of the Music City Baseball investment group working to bring an MLB team to Tennessee in addition to serving as a partner at the MGC Sports & Entertainment agency.

COLIN STOUGH UNLEASHES UNFILTERED NEW ANTHEM “WHITE TRASH”

Mississippi rebel Colin Stough returns today with his hard-edged new anthem, “White Trash”—out now. Listen Below.

Co-written by Stough, Jamie Collazo, and Kenny Whitmire, and produced by James LeBlanc and Phillip White, “White Trash” is a battle cry for the outcast — fueled by conviction and delivered with a devilish grin.

Driven by raw vocals and a defiant country-rock swagger, the unapologetic declaration finds Stough doing what he does best: stripping away pretenses and leaning full-tilt into every scar, setback, and stereotype with pride. Written and recorded in January, “White Trash” delivers on all fronts.

"I grew up on the 'other side of town' with the rest of the outcasts,” Stough says. “It used to hurt when my mom and I would get called white trash; I think this is my way of reclaiming that. I love where I come from; if that’s white trash, I’ll own it."

Stough will continue working on new music this spring before hitting the road for select performances throughout the summer and early fall. Full list of 2025 tour dates below.

COLIN STOUGH 2025 TOUR DATES

5/10: Jackson, MS (Mississippi Makers Festival)

6/7: Nashville, TN (CMA Fest)

7/18: Mize, MS (Watermelon Park Fest)

7/30: Sturgis, SD (Kickstands Bar & Grill)

About Colin Stough

Born on the Mississippi-Alabama border, Colin Stough was raised on Southern rock and second chances. A self-taught guitarist and gravel-voiced storyteller influenced by The Allman Brothers, Conway Twitty, and Koe Wetzel, he first picked up a guitar at age 8, later trading in his prized possessions for a pawn shop acoustic — one he still plays today. After high school, he worked full-time as an HVAC tech until his mom pushed him to audition for American Idol Season 21. That leap launched a life-changing ride: a standout third-place finish, a deal with 19 Recordings / BMG Nashville, and a breakout debut with songs like “Bad Day” and “I Still Talk to Jesus.”

With a skinned-raw vocal and lyrics carved from lived experience, Stough has built a loyal following of nearly 750k across social platforms. His EPs Promiseland and Lookin’ For Home offer a no-frills portrait of a 20-year-old navigating scars, faith, and fire with Southern grit. He’s opened for acts like Chase Matthew, Drake White, and Kidd G, and is continuing to build his live show through 2025. A student of Skynyrd and the outlaw spirit, Stough isn’t chasing trends with his latest release "White Trash" — he’s telling the underdog’s truth, one song at a time.

BROOKE EDEN SADDLES UP WITH NEW SINGLE "GIDDY UP!"

Brooke Eden, the powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, and country music artist, announces that her brand-new track, "Giddy Up!," is out now, via BMG. The upbeat anthem is her most authentic and unapologetic to date, celebrating her country roots while embracing the joy and freedom of the dance floor. Listen Below.

With a twangy vibe and a glittery twist, "Giddy Up!," is Eden at her most fearless and fun, delivering a track destined to become this summer’s crossover Pride anthem. From two-stepping at her hometown bar to performing alongside the biggest names in music, Brooke’s newest release marks a thrilling new era – one where authenticity takes center stage and everyone’s invited to the party. 

“Line dancing has always been a place of belonging for me,” says Eden. “I grew up performing in my dad’s line dancing band, and the community and joy of those nights inspired my new song. I wanted to create a song that brought the queer and the line dancing communities together, no matter who you are or where you’re from, to move, connect, and celebrate.”

To bring the spirit of the song to life, Eden is hosting Giddy Up! Nights, a series of line dancing events taking place at venues across the country. At each stop, fans are invited to hit the dance floor with Brooke herself as she teaches the official "Giddy Up!" line dance, which is a fun and accessible routine designed for dancers of all levels. In addition to debuting the dance, she’ll perform the fan favorite 2023 track "Outlaw Love" and her new track "Rainbow Rodeo," which also drops today.

Giddy Up! Nights and 2025 Tour Dates:

• May 3 - Denver, CO

• May 4 - New York, NY

• May 8 - Los Angeles, CA

The free event will bring together hundreds of thousands of attendees and feature unforgettable performances, inspiring closing remarks, and the official passing of the torch to the next WorldPride host city, Amsterdam 2026. 

In addition to Giddy Up! Nights, this summer, Brooke will also take the stage at Pride events nationwide.

About Brooke Eden:

Over the last few years rising star Brooke Eden has become a critically-acclaimed force to be reckoned with in Nashville. Heralded by Billboard as a “fiery country star-in-the-making,” and named one of CMT’s Next Women of Country as well as a Music Row “Next Big Thing,” Brooke has used her personal journey to self-acceptance to create music that is both bold and passionate with the message that it is okay to be who you are. She has even punctuated this message in the form of a partnership with the RIAA, “Music Matters with RIAA,” a multi-event-driven campaign designed to show how music can enable our authentic voice, give us purpose, and give us strength and courage to navigate life’s challenges.

A dynamic performer, Brooke has shared the stage with Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, Kane Brown and Keith Urban. Both a CMT Music Awards and 2023 GLAAD Media Awards nominee for “Outstanding Breakthrough Artist,” Brooke has been lauded by American Songwriter, Billboard, Buzzfeed, The Gay Times, MTV News, People, Popsugar, SheKnows, Them, Vogue, Wide Open Country, and Young Hollywood while performing on national television shows from NBC’s TODAY to the Academy of Country Music Awards. Applauded for her “commanding stage presence and brassy straight-shooting style” (Nashville Lifestyles), “Brooke Eden is the queer country superstar we need and deserve” (Gay Times Magazine). With her 2022 Choosing You EP and 2023’s Outlaw Love EP, along with her string of singles, Brooke has carved out a distinctive space in the music industry. After becoming the official anthem for the SEC Network last year with her crowd starting “Party Wherever We Go,” Brooke is returning to dance halls and pride festivals around the globe with her latest release “Giddy Up!” out now. With new music on the horizon, she continues to evolve her sound and embrace her roots while proudly pushing boundaries.

Bike Routes Share "World Apart (Reimagined)"

Blue Grape Music recording artist Bike Routes released the wonderful Rush of Energy EP on October 25 of last year. Get it here.

Since then, Bike Routes, the alter ego of David Lawrence Osterhout, has remained busy, hitting the road and winning over new fans at every venue and every city.

Bike Routes  shares "World Apart (Reimagined)." Listen below.

"'World Apart (Reimagined)' is a step back in energy in order to really showcase all of the other elements taking place in the song. It fully captures the story-telling elements of a classic Bike Routes track, while ushering forward a new sound and experience," Osterhout says.

It's truly another way to appreciate, enjoy, and ultimately love the song, with its simple strumming.

Deeply intimate, earnest, and heartfelt expressions of anxiety, heartbreak, and acceptance lie within deceptively sugary melodies and hooks. David’s acoustic guitar is the anchor, inviting listeners into a notebook full of emotion and authenticity. 

The Garden State gave the world Bruce Springsteen, The Misfits, Lifetime, and The Gaslight Anthem. There's perhaps a bit of the essence of each of those trailblazers within the Bike Routes sound. While the South Jersey singer/songwriter conjures the spirit of the iconic troubadours of indie rock, classic emo, and postmodern pop-punk, he distinctively carves a singularly unique identity all his own. 

Osterhout teamed up with producer Zach Tuch (Touché Amoré, Silverstein, Movements), looking to expand the Bike Routes sound. The resulting collection is the Rush of Energy EP — the first Bike Routes release via Blue Grape Music. 

Bike Routes is currently on tour with Arm's Length. All dates are below.

HOW WE FEEL Release Debut Album "Ready For War"

Cleveland, Ohio Rockers HOW WE FEEL are a powerful new duo consisting of Vocalist Chris Bianchi (Forever in Terror) and Drummer Brian Lamtman. Best friends for more than 20 years, they were inspired to make music together in early 2024. Influenced by Shinedown, Imagine Dragons and Thirty Seconds to Mars, they are preparing to release their debut album Ready For War on Friday, May 2nd. HOW WE FEEL is carving their name into the modern rock scene with authenticity, energy, and purpose - coupled with a sound that has a fresh yet familiar edge.

The album was recorded at the band’s new WareHouse Studio in Kent, OH.  It was engineered by John Burkeand produced and mixed by Paul Bartolome (Asking Alexandria, Escape The Fate), and mastered by Grammy Award winning Ted Jensen (Green Day, Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence) at Sterling Sound in New York.

The band’s Chris Bianchi says "Making this album has truly been an experience that we will never forget. From not knowing if we could do it again, to taking those first steps and now here we are: “Ready For War” is an album we've put an extreme amount of time and effort into. It has a lot of feeling and emotion related to the things we all face in our everyday lives at this point. I hope that listeners can relate and find their own solace in the album. It tells a story of triumph and overcoming along the way. It's a story of truth and about how you never give up on your dreams.”

The title track is the focus for the album release, and the “Ready For War” video was directed by Jake Cole in Canton, Ohio (Home of the Pro Football Hall Of Fame).  Bianchi explains “The video is meant to showcase the daily struggles and obstacles that many face be it through bills, relationships, daily life struggle but that love will always win. It helps you find that light in the dark and at the end, you can win and you do triumph. The video is meant to our process: Going from writing in the basement, to recording the song in the studio – and ultimately performing live on stage for our fans.”

The band is starting to book shows in support the album release and will be using their appearance at the upcoming Inkcarceration Festival to launch into touring for the rest of the year into 2026.

Live Shows

        Friday, May 2nd @ Globe Iron – Cleveland, OH (Headlining)

Inkcarceration Festival – July 18th – 20th @ Ohio State Reformatory – Mansfield, OH

About HOW WE FEEL:

HOW WE FEEL formed in early 2024 when long time friends Chris Bianchi and Brian Lamtman decided to combine their shared interests and tastes to release music they were both passionate about. Their demos of emotionally driven lyrics backed with an explosive sound caught the ears of Virgin Music Group, who partnered with Bianchi’s label Legend Recordings in May of 2024.  They went into the studio with engineer John Bruke and producer Paul Bartolome (Asking Alexandria, Escape The Fate and more) to record several tracks.  The songs were mastered by legendary engineer Ted Jensen (Green Day, Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence) and debut single Make It Out Alive—a hard-hitting anthem of perseverance – was released in September of 2024.  It was followed by Devil Inside in November, and Losing My Mind in December.

A Stereogum fave for their "incendiary mosh riffs," the band has shared the visualizer for new single and album opener "26/9." Watch and listen below.

It's rife with Gridiron's hallmarks — hip-hop-inspired bounce and grooves, massive breakdowns, and a boatload of confidence and bravado.
 

"'26/9' is about always raising your personal bar, never settling, and continuing to level up and push yourself to the limit, something we set out to accomplish with this track and record," says Karll.

Once again — mission accomplished with Gridiron!

Gridiron, which originally formed as a pandemic project and have since grown into a full-fledged entity, features members of Never Ending Game, Simulakra, and Scarab, and connects the Philadelphia, Delaware, and Michigan areas.

Pushing every boundary to a breaking point, Gridiron will go to any extreme and then some. They follow quite possibly the most unpredictable playbook in the game. The band might flood the zone with a corpsepaint-smearing death metal barrage only to double back around for a victory lap narrated by blinged-out and braggadocios bars. Their hybridization of metal, hardcore, and hip-hop wouldn’t be out of place at either OZZfest 1997 or Rolling Loud 2027.

It's why the quintet have bulldozed their own path as a phenomenon with millions of streams and acclaim from Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, NO ECHO, and more.

Gridiron were born out of a series of COVID-era marathon Call of Duty sessions, which led to writing and recording together. Their musical pedigree spoke for itself with Will also in Never Ending Game, Xavier in Simulakra, and Tyler and Lennon in Scarab. Given their individual experiences, the guys instantly locked into a creative groove. Following the Loyalty At All Costs EP [2020] and Worldwide Brotherhood EP [2021], they dropped their first full-length, No Good At Goodbyes [2022]. Along the way, they also shared stages with everyone from Missing Link to Trapped Under Ice and have plenty of upcoming touring planned for 2025.

And now, Poetry From Pain is here and it slays.

Gridiron have a bunch of live shows on deck. All upcoming confirmed dates are below. The band was also just announced for Summer Slaughter in July. Those dates are also below.

Eric Church Will 'Free the Machine' With Arena Tour This Fall

With his highly anticipated album Evangeline vs. The Machine arriving this Friday, May 2, Eric Church will bring the next chapter of his critically acclaimed live show to fans in major cities coast to coast as his Free the Machine Tour kicks off a run of 22 arena dates on Sept. 12. 
 
“Eric Church in concert is as much a catharsis as a hell-raising Friday (or Saturday) night,” declares POLLSTAR, with Stereogum adding that he is “at the top of his genre because he breaks its rules in big, exciting arena-filling ways.” Praised by Forbes for his “leave-it-all-on-the-stage mentality,” Church will be joined across varying dates by special guests Elle King, Marcus King Band and Charles Wesley Godwin (support bios are available HERE).
 
“From front to back, these shows will be different than anything you’ve ever seen or heard from us before,” shared Church in a video message sent directly to Church Choir members. “I cannot wait to see you on the road for this tour.”
 
Tickets to most shows are available to the general public beginning next Friday, May 9 at 10 a.m. local time (with the Philadelphia date on sale May 16). As always, premium members of the Church Choir will have early access to tickets through the Church Choir presale beginning Monday, May 5 at 10 a.m. local time. Premium members should check their email for presale details and can log in at EricChurch.com or the official Eric Church app to access their unique codes. A registration presale via Seated, available to non-premium Church Choir members and the general public, kicks off Tuesday, May 6 at 10 a.m. local time. To register, please visit EricChurch.com and sign up for your desired date.
 
Having consistently taken industry-leading precautions to protect fans from scalpers, Church is reserving all pit tickets on the Free the Machine Tour for premium Church Choir members to ensure his most passionate and loyal fans are closest to the stage. Premium Church Choir members will receive request instructions via email. Pit tickets will be will-call only to deter resale (except where prohibited by state law).
 
The news of a tour comes just ahead of the imminent release of Church’s latest album, Evangeline vs. The Machine, available everywhere this Friday, May 2. Expanding the legacy of one of country music’s most fearless storytellers and anchored by lead single “Hands of Time” – which debuted as the most-added song at Country radio and earned Church a new personal record for first-week impact with 135 stations – the album is available to pre-order/pre-save HERE.
 
In addition to the tour kicking off this fall, Church will bring the new music and his esteemed catalog to life onstage with a run of high-profile shows this spring and summer, beginning with two To Beat The Devil residency shows at London’s revered Royal Albert Hall on May 16-17. He will then take over Nashville’s Pinnacle for a sold-out, two-night installment of Evangeline vs. The Machine Live on May 23–24. In July, he heads west for what has become a roughly once-a-decade experience at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where fans can expect a unique set each evening across three sold-out shows: Eric Church vs. The Machine; Eric Church vs. The ECB; and Eric Church vs. The Guitar.

About Eric Church
A seven-time ACM Award winner, four-time CMA Award winner (including 2020’s Entertainer of the Year) and 10-time GRAMMY nominee – including three nods for Best Country Album, Eric Church has built a passionate fan base through his critically acclaimed catalog of music. Church’s October 2024 release, “Darkest Hour,” saw the superstar signing over all of his publishing royalties to the people of North Carolina to provide immediate relief following the devastation of Hurricane Helene while also providing ongoing funds to support a more resilient future for his home state. The song is featured alongside current single “Hands Of Time” on his forthcoming album, Evangeline vs. The Machine arriving May 2, marking his first new music since 2021’s Heart & Soul triple album (“Stick That In Your Country Song,” “Hell Of A View”). That project followed prior releases including RIAA Gold-certified Desperate Man (“Some Of It,” “Desperate Man”), Platinum-certified Sinners Like Me (“How ’Bout You,” “Guys Like Me”), Carolina (“Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most”) and Mr. Misunderstood (“Record Year,” “Round Here Buzz”), Double-Platinum certified The Outsiders (“Like a Wrecking Ball,” “Talladega”) and 4x Platinum-certified Chief (“Springsteen,” “Drink In My Hand”), as well as 32 Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certified songs. Church is also a minority owner of the Charlotte Hornets, a co-owner of the iconic Field & Stream brand, has his own SiriusXM music channel, “Eric Church Outsiders Radio,” his own liquor offering, Whiskey JYPSI, and recently celebrated the first anniversary Chief’s, his six-story venue on Nashville’s famed lower Broadway.

NAILED TO OBSCURITY - Announce New Album "Generation Of The Void" + Release Video For New Single 'Overcast'

NAILED TO OBSCURITY are excited to reveal the name and release date of their fifth studio album, Generation Of The Void, which will be out on September 5th, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. Alongside the announcement of the pre-order, a music video for the new single 'Overcast' has been unveiled. 

NAILED TO OBSCURITY commented:
“We are beyond excited to finally share this with all of you. Generation Of The Void marks a new era for Nailed To Obscurity — heavier, darker, more dynamic than anything we've ever done before. This album is the result of years of evolution, and it's our most atmospheric and intense journey yet, pushing every boundary we’ve ever set for ourselves."

"'Overcast' captures the bleakness of a world in ruins — a driving, post-apocalyptic anthem with a haunting melody and an eruption of raw, relentless energy. It's a song about finding the strength to move on when everything familiar has turned to dust. We can’t wait to play this one live on our upcoming headline tour this fall!“

With Generation Of The Void, NAILED TO OBSCURITY have crafted their most mature and expansive album to date. The album reflects the turmoil of the post-pandemic era, the shadows of war in Europe, and the relentless changes affecting all of humanity. Beyond its political and social commentary, the album also dives deep into personal struggles, confronting themes of dark emotions, depression, and fear. Every note, every lyric carries the weight of uncertainty and disillusionment, while no one knows what one will find within the void or beyond.

The production quality on Generation Of The Void marks a significant step up, pushing NAILED TO OBSCURITY's sound to an entirely new level. This album also introduces a new dimension to the band's sonic identity, featuring an unprecedented balance between their signature crushing growls and a greater emphasis on clean vocals. While clean singing has always been part of their sound, Generation Of The Void takes it further—some songs feature only clean vocals, others are dominated by growls, and most strike a dynamic balance between the two.

Recorded between 2021 and 2024, the album sees the band reaching new creative depths. Guitars, bass, and drums were laid down at Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany, while vocals were recorded by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark. Additional elements, such as synths and extra guitar layers, were produced by Lamberti himself at the band’s headquarters in East Frisia. Production duties were shared between V. Santura, Jacob Hansen, and Lamberti, with Hansen handling the final mix and master, ensuring a sound that is both expansive and intimate.

The album’s artwork and layout were crafted by renowned artist Giannis Nakos, visually embodying the record’s dark and introspective themes.

NAILED TO OBSCURITY will embark on their first extensive European headline tour in autumn 2025, with guests YOTH IRIA (GR) and OAK, ASH & THORN (US). This tour will be a celebration of the band's 20th anniversary, which is due this year.

ABOUT NAILED TO OBSCURITY:

Formed in 2005 by guitarists Jan-Ole Lamberti and Volker Dieken, NAILED TO OBSCURITYstarted their journey as teenagers with an uncompromising vision. They released their independent debut Abyss in 2007, proving their resilience in an industry where many bands fade before they rise. With lineup evolutions in the early days and sonic transformations, the Germans honed their melancholic yet crushing sound, which reached new heights with Opaque (2013) and King Delusion (2017), released via Apostasy Records. These albums marked the first steps from a local underground act to a serious, globally touring band, following the arrival of vocalist Raimund Ennenga in 2012.

By 2018, NAILED TO OBSCURITY had earned a place among the greats, signing with Nuclear Blast and unveiling Black Frost in January 2019, an album that solidified their identity and positioned them on some of the biggest stages in Europe and North America. With bassist Lutz Neemann joining in May 2024, replacing long-time member Carsten Schorn, the current lineup was completed.

In 2022, NAILED TO OBSCURITY released the singles 'Liquid Mourning' and 'Clouded Frame', both of which are featured on Generation Of The Void. These tracks provided a glimpse into the band's evolving sound and set the stage for what was to come.

Now, after years of meticulous crafting and relentless touring, Generation Of The Void emerges as the next chapter—a visceral and evocative testament to the times.

Hatebreed Announce Summer Slaughter 2025

HATEBREED spent 2024 celebrating their 30th anniversary with several tours. It was par for the course with the Grammy-nominated, Connecticut hardcore icons, who are road warriors, in addition to being one of the most impactful and enduring bands of the modern era.

Today, the band proudly announces it is resurrecting the beloved and annual Summer Slaughter tour for 2025, which kicks off July 8 in St. Petersburg, Florida and runs through July 28 in Grand Rapids.

The Summer Slaughter brand built its reputation as a breeding ground for new talent and to showcase up and coming heavy bands, alongside established headliners. Hatebreed singer Jamey Jasta is breathing new life into this legacy brand and will continue the long-held tradition of giving a live platform to the absolute best up 'n' comers in the scene.

Support for this year's run will include Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, Incite, Escuela Grind, and Snuffed on Sight on select dates. So the Summer Slaughter mission is clear: The best of the best.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, May 2 at 10am local time. Get tickets here or here.

"A new era of Summer Slaughter has begun," states Jamey Jasta. "Huge thanks to Ash and the Sumerian team for their belief and support. Myself and Sound Talent Group are excited to be working with them going forward and taking the tour worldwide. It's been years since Hatebreed has done a Summer tour in the U.S. and Summer Slaughter is the perfect return for us. The tour has always catapulted the newest and brightest talent to new heights and we'll be continuing in that tradition while expanding in size and scope. Let the slaughter begin AGAIN!"

"I've always wanted Hatebreed to headline Summer Slaughter since the inception of the tour many years ago," says tour founder and Sumerian Records' Ash Avildsen. "Jasta and the band have always curated and built community across different sub-genres in the world of heavy underground music like very few others have been able to. I am thrilled it's finally happening on Slaughter with Hatebreed at the top. Now is the time!"

With dozens of pit-stirring anthems across albums, Hatebreed have built their reputation through decades of ruthless breakdowns and an Iron Man touring ethic, consistently selling out shows the world over. Over the course of its career, the band has gone from playing basements and backyards to being a featured, must-see attraction on countless festivals like Graspop, OzzFest, Warped, and Download, alongside massive high-profile tours. 

Described by Forbes as "more relevant than ever in the metal and hardcore community," the quintet remains one of the most definitive live acts in music today and recently celebrated a milestone with their track "Looking Down The Barrel Of Today," which surpassed 90 million global streams on Spotify, making it their single biggest career streaming track of the modern era. To date, Hatebreed have sold over 1.5 million albums in North America alone.  

Hatebreed's most recent album, 2020's Weight of the False Self, was praised as a "return to their hardcore roots" by Brooklyn Vegan. The album was deemed "one of their most aggressive to date" by Consequence and "pummeling" by Revolver, while Psychology Today called it "a blazing combination of extreme metal and hardcore punk." Hatebreed remain one of the most vital bands in the hard rock scene.

As long as y’all keep showing up, so will we – we have the best fans in the world!"

All along the way, fans will be treated to electrifying performances from one of Country’s brightest young stars, who represents the start of a new creative generation.

Batson first connected with fans through standouts like “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know,” and has gone on to release hits such as “I Don’t Like You Anymore” (1 million Spotify streams and 2.6 million YouTube views), and “X’s” (5 million+ Spotify streams and 11 million YouTube views).
 
The I Need A Truck Tour will build on a year of massive shows for the rising star from his Road to Indio Tour.

About Maddox Batson:
Maddox Batson navigates the world with wisdom and wit far beyond his 15 years. After the Nashville-born, Alabama-based songwriter began gaining notoriety covering songs from Zach Bryan, Red Clay Strays, and more, he started to write his own songs. Thanks to early singles like “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know,” Batson quickly showed that he wasn’t only a star at covering country hits, but an excellent writer of his own home-cooked cuts – a practice he saw first-hand as a co-writer on Lana Del Rey and Quavo’s smash hit collaboration, “Tough.”
 
With the arrival of his latest single, “Girl In Green” and his EP First Dance, Batson is ready to show the world what he can create, all while embarking on sold-out live shows across the country, making his debut appearances at Stagecoach Music Festival and the Grand Ole Opry, and preparing more new music — First Dance (The After Party) out May 2. Life is moving fast for the multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar & mandolin), who has fully embraced his next- up status in country-pop music. “It can be overwhelming, this life, but I’ve got a lot of good people surrounding me,” he explains.

ENSLAVED Embarks On US/Canada Shows In May

Cosmic metal pioneers ENSLAVED will make their anticipated return to North America in May for a trio of extraordinary shows featuring hand picked support acts and distinct set lists. 

Commenting on the dates, founding guitarist Ivar Bjørnson says: 

"Greetings from the western mountains of Norway, as one does. We're getting close to May, and that means Enslaved is coming back to North America. Not a moment too soon, if you ask us. We're going to start off in Montreal on May 12th with special guest Spectral Wound. The day after, May 13th, we're hitting New York with the Infinity Ring as our special guest. Then on May 16, the day before the Norwegian National Day of all things, we'll be at the legendary Milwaukee Metal Fest for the first time. We have special guests. We have special set lists. Yes, we have it all now. We want to see you there."

ENSLAVED North American Dates:
May 12 - Montreal, QC - Beanfield Theatre (w/Spectral Wound)
May 13 - New York, NY - Gramercy Theatre (w/The Infinity Ring)
May 16 - Milwaukee, WI - Milwaukee Metal Fest

VIP Tickets: https://tix.soundrink.com/tours/enslaved
Tickets: https://enslaved.no/tour/

ENSLAVED is currently on tour in support of their latest avant-garde creation Heimdal. Stream the Deluxe Edition of the record here: https://enslaved.bfan.link/heimdal-deluxe.ema

Heimdal (Deluxe) includes the studio album in full, as well as alternative versions of two album tracks 'Forest Dweller' and 'Congelia', both with sublime performances from renowned cellist Jo Quail, bonus track 'Gangandi', plus the entirety of 'The Otherworldly Big Band Experience' - Enslaved's stunning 2022 streaming event featuring fellow psychedelic Norwegian prog band Shaman Elephant.

Enslaved's latest studio album Heimdal (released March 2023) is both a departure and a communion with roots forged over three decades ago in the turbulent birth throes of Norway’s black metal scene. It's a record that points towards new beginnings, and a dawn that’s on the other side of the apex of the land. A psychedelic journey through arcane Norse folklore, connecting with one's ancient ancestors and our future selves.

'The Otherworldly Big Band Experience' was an Enslaved show like none other, their biggest, boldest project to date - a colossal, kaleidoscopic stage show featuring a stellar setlist covering their career, both past and present. Including some tracks never previously performed live. 

Never faltering, Norway’s iconic Enslaved continue to exist as one of the most original and dependable components in our scene's indestructible backbone. Possessing the reputation as one of the most riveting live acts around, they never fail to offer us talent of the highest calibre, always doing justice to their signature black/progressive sound. Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, releasing their first demo Yggdrasill in the summer of 1992, their legendary mini-album Hordanes Land coming out in 1993, and with their debut full-length Vikingligr Veldi arriving in the spring of 1994.

Enslaved are a band in stellar form - a band at its most existentialist and self-conscious, proud Bergeners bearing the torch of their hometown’s extraordinary musical history. Their most recent material shows Enslaved at their most unleashed and thought-through - a lethal combination unfurling a potential that’s easily rekindling the furor of their early works while dancing gracefully through their most ambitious, most haunting and most musical tunes yet. A contradiction? Life itself is a contradiction. And yet we all live to prove it wrong.

Enslaved are:

Grutle Kjellson | vocals
Arve 'Ice Dale' Isdal | guitar
Håkon Vinje | keyboards, clean vocals
Iver Sandøy | drums

DUSTIN LYNCH AND SCOTTY MCCREERY ANNOUNCE CO-HEADLINGING TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR

Raising a toast to some of the biggest Country smashes of the past decade, Dustin Lynch and Scotty McCreery are joining forces for their co-headlining TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR, announcing a dozen special shows in the fall.

Tickets for the DUSTIN LYNCH AND SCOTTY MCCREERY: TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR are available via an exclusive fan presale (including VIP Packages) beginning on Wednesday (4/30) at 10 a.m. local time, and continuing through Thursday (5/1) at 10 p.m. local time. The tour’s public on-sale begins Friday (5/2) at 10 a.m. local time. To purchase tickets, visit Lynch and McCreery’s websites.

The TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR kicks off November 6 in Saginaw, MI, and will feature 12 hit-heavy stops across the U.S. Stretching from Portland, ME, to Tupelo, MS, the run is scheduled to wrap December 6 in Duluth, MN, with two of Country’s most electrifying talents supported by Walker Montgomery and Sons of Habit (who will appear on select dates).

This tour concept brings a pair of bona fide Country stars to the same bill for the first time. Hot off his recent headlining debut at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre (check out his exclusive with PEOPLE here), Lynch remains an in-demand headliner – who is currently hosting his ongoing 2025 WYNN NIGHTLIFE LAS VEGAS RESIDENCY. The buzzed-about club set makes Lynch Wynn Nightlife’s first-ever country music artist in residency in Las Vegas, NV, with dates continuing through the summer.

After breaking out with the PLATINUM “Cowboys and Angels” in 2012, Lynch has gone on to post 10 #1s – including his latest #1 “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll),” and the 2X PLATINUM, six-week #1 “Thinking ‘Bout You (feat. MacKenzie Porter)” – the most-played song at Country radio in 2022. A Grand Ole Opry member who continues to break boundaries as a global performer, Lynch has played to over 4 MILLION fans spanning five headline runs, in addition to touring with Country’s biggest names like Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, and Brad Paisley.

McCreery, who was a crowd favorite last night at the Stagecoach Festival, also brings a long list of modern-classic Country hits to the TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR. A perennial hitmaker with a rumbling baritone, McCreery was the first Country artist and the youngest male artist of any genre to debut his first studio album at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200 Albums chart back in 2011, and has gone on to sell more than 4 MILLION albums and score six #1’s – including the 3X-PLATINUM “Five More Minutes” and his recent chart topper “Cab in a Solo.”  The ACM and CMT award winner recently announced the June 20th release of a special edition of the album that took him to superstardom, Seasons Change: Platinum Edition, now available for pre-order with four additional tracks.
 
McCreery’s TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR appearance continues to cement his top-flight reputation. After kicking off the year touring the U.S. and Canada with Kane Brown, plus a packed schedule of headline and festival dates, including his upcoming UK Tour in May and Switzerland’s Gstaad Festival in September, McCreery remains a dedicated road-warrior that connects with audiences internationally. He is also a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry and recently served as the announcer on the “Opry  100 - A Live Celebration” highly rated NBC television special.

DUSTIN LYNCH AND SCOTTY MCCREERY: TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR promises a unique experience for Country music fans, so don’t miss this rare chance to see two Country powerhouses share the stage.

The follow-up to Blue In The Sky, which delivered the history-making 2X PLATINUM, six-week #1 “Thinking ‘Bout You (feat.

With his latest album Rise & Fall, featuring his sixth No. 1 single “Cab in a Solo” and 12 additional tracks, McCreery explores classic themes of heartbreak, rowdy nights, nostalgia, faith, newfound joy, fatherhood, and enduring love, and through it all, felt comfortable being himself, resulting in a project full of electrified twang, rich baritone vocals and insightful storytelling. The 31-year-old has sold more than 4 million albums and achieved 6 No. 1 hits: the recent “Cab in a Solo,” the RIAA Platinum-certified “Damn Strait,” the RIAA Gold certified “You Time,” the RIAA Gold certified “In Between,” the RIAA Platinum certified “This is It,” and the RIAA Triple Platinum certified “Five More Minutes.”

He was awarded Pandora Billionaire status in 2021 in recognition of his music achieving more than one billion streams on Pandora. His song “Five More Minutes” inspired two popular holiday movies which aired on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network: Five More Minutes in 2021 and Five More Minutes: Moments Like These in 2022. He released his first book Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream in 2016. McCreery was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2023. Last year, he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry by Josh Turner and Randy Travis, after being invited by Garth Brooks. The singer/songwriter married his high school sweetheart Gabi in 2018, and the couple had their first son Avery in October 2022.

Whiskey Myers Add 'What We Were Born To Do Tour' Dates; New Album Due Sept. 26

Following a high-octane performance in front of an at-capacity Stagecoach crowd this past weekend – including a debut of their brand new single, “Time Bomb” – Whiskey Myers announces new dates for their What We Were Born To Do Tour spanning the country throughout 2025. Presales begin tomorrow, April 29, at 10 a.m. local time for Whiskey Myers app users with tickets on sale to the general public this Friday, May 2 at 10 a.m. local time via WhiskeyMyers.com.
 
The news follows last week’s announcement of Whomp Whack Thunder, the band’s highly anticipated seventh studio album set to release Sept. 26 via their own Wiggy Thump Records. Channeling the spirit of classic rock through a modern Southern lens – roaring guitars, thunderous drums and lyrics that cut deep – the album is available to pre-order/pre-save HERE. 
 
Celebrated by POLLSTAR as “an outlier of alt-country with more thrust, Southern cousin of The Black Keys or spiritual grandchild of Waylon and Willie’s outlaw country,” the genre-defying band will be joined by Bayker Blankenship, Kashus Culpepper, Wade Bowen, Landon Smith, Charles Wesley Godwin, Dexter & The Moonrocks and Colton Bowlin across the slate of new dates – including a special weekend of shows spanning their September album release week.
 
In addition to the What We Were Born To Do Tour kicking off June 6, Whiskey Myers will also co-headline 15 dates of the Live in 25 Tour with Tedeschi Trucks Band later this year. The six-piece will also headline their own personally curated festivals; the seventh annual Wiggy Thump Festival on May 10 in their hometown of Palestine, Texas and the inaugural Moon Crush “Whiskey Moon” music vacation taking over Miramar Beach, Fla. Nov. 7-9.

About Whiskey Myers
Genre-bending band Whiskey Myers have played nearly 3,000 live shows to ever-increasing crowd sizes since their emergence in 2007. In addition to headlining their own sold-out shows from coast to coast at iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Ryman Auditorium, plus performing at marquee festivals Bonnaroo, Stagecoach, Download and more, the six-piece was also personally selected to open The Rolling Stones’ Chicago stadium show. The band is poised to begin their next chapter with their highly-anticipated seventh studio album Whomp Whack Thunder arriving Sept. 26 via the band’s own Wiggy Thump Records, with lead single “Time Bomb” available everywhere now. Their previous project, Tornillo, featured the No. 17 most-played Americana song of 2022, “John Wayne,” and followed breakthrough album Whiskey Myers, which debuted at No. 1 on both the Country and Americana/Folk sales charts, at No. 2 on the Rock chart and No. 6 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart (No. 3 among new releases). In total, Whiskey Myers have sold more than 2.4 million albums and amassed over 3.7 billion streams while earning nine RIAA Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certifications as an independent band. Known for their high-energy live show and unique sound, the band praised by Esquire as “the real damn deal” has also earned sync success with features in Paramount’s hit shows “Yellowstone” (including an on-screen performance) and “Landman,” plus Netflix series “What/If,” Angelina Jolie film “Those Who Wish Me Dead” and CBS series “SEAL Team,” among others. USA Today describes their sound as “a riff-heavy blend of Southern rock and gritty country that has earned comparisons to the Allman Brothers Band and Led Zeppelin,” with Rolling Stone noting “it’s the seminal combination of twang and crunchy rock & roll guitars that hits a perfect sweet spot.”

Singer-Songwriter Evan Bartels Signs With WME For Global Representation

Breakout singer-songwriter Evan Bartels has signed with WME for global representation across all areas. 
 
Bartels recently signed with famed Lost Highway Records and will release To Make You Cry, his debut EP for the iconic label on May 23. The title track is available Below.
 
Raised in the tiny town of Tobias, Nebraska, Bartels delivers a masterclass in storytelling on To Make You Cry, crafting a sweeping, cinematic experience with nothing more than his voice and an acoustic guitar. Recorded in his self-built cabin just outside Nashville, the six-song collection shines a light on overlooked lives while delving into the quiet sacrifices and spiritual undertones that define the journey of a working musician.
 
Bartels observations on life prove why American Songwriter calls Bartels’ music “intense and intimate” as he strives to tell distinctly human stories without judgment and to truly see the unsung person where most passersby may wish to look away. 
 
“I couldn’t be more excited to join the WME roster,” said Bartels. “Chris Hrovat and Jay Williams are two of the hardest-working visionaries in the business and it’s an honor to work with them.”
 
“Evan Bartels is a powerhouse of authenticity and grit—his voice carries the weight of lived experience, and his songwriting strikes a chord that’s both raw and timeless,” said WME’s Chris Hrovat. “We’re beyond excited to welcome Evan to WME and look forward to helping him reach new audiences and stages around the world.”
 
Bartels recently wrapped a successful run at C2C (Country 2 Country) international country music festival in Berlin and Germany. He returns overseas with upcoming tour dates in the UK and Ireland along with recently announced U.S. tour dates.

Bury Tomorrow Release New Single "Forever The Night"

NEW ALBUM WILL YOU HAUNT ME, WITH THAT SAME PATIENCE OUT MAY 16

Building on a huge touring run that saw the band visit their biggest ever venues across the UK, Europe, USA, Australia and Japan, Bury Tomorrow are on course for an even bigger 2025.

Following the release of dynamic and sonically splintering new singles ("Let Go," "What If I Burn," and "Villain Arc"), the band, which is currently co-headlining across North America with fellow Brits While She Sleeps, have today released "Forever The Night."

The song explores the intoxicating allure of escapism — how euphoria can blind us to the truth, even when something isn't good for us. The track captures the emotional tension of clinging to fleeting highs to avoid facing reality, underscoring the inevitability of change and the end of all things.

Watch the "Forever The Night" video below:

For Bury Tomorrow, the last two years have been about trying to fill the space where they knew something was missing.

From the depths of uncertainty, through line-up changes and COVID-inspired road blocks, the arrival of guitarist Ed Hartwell and keyboardist/vocalist Tom Prendergast and the creation of 2023's The Seventh Sun has allowed them to lay out a whole new path of possibilities that felt unavailable before. Now, with an invigorated belief and fresh outlook on what the band can encompass, they present Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience, their most fantastically visceral offering to date.

Crafted more intimately and intricately than ever before by internalizing every aspect of the writing process, with Carl Bown [Sleep Token, Bullet For My Valentine, While She Sleeps] manning production duties for the first time, the result is a profoundly personal, extraordinarily expansive and punishingly grand display of cathartic craftsmanship.

Born from a shared sense of frustration in feeling an ever-shifting disconnect from the state of modern society, the band have created an earnest, heart-wrenching and definitive look at the overlapping effects of brutal self-sabotage, crippling anxiety, fierce despondency and the never-ending search for peace and clarity in a world so full of noise. It is a record about division as much as togetherness, an outpouring of personal devastation but a hopeful reminder that we are all navigating it together.

"To haunt is to revisit or recur persistently to the consciousness of someone or something,” explains guitarist, Kristan Dawson. "There’s beauty in that commitment somewhat. In a world full of distraction, discourse, instancy and demand, patience seems hard to attain. In patience there is peace, one thing society is short of. The title serves as a call of reflection, relying on the present moment, remembering what truly matters. I think the notion of patience being haunting is quite a contrast and that's certainly reflective of the album musically."

Within such deep sonic exploration and shared emotional understanding, and despite its bleak outlook on things, Will You Haunt Me With That Same Patience' still strives to represent that lingering presence, that hope, that reminds us that this isn't the be-all and end-all of this existence. That things can change for the better, just like we can change for the better with it, and persevering through such separation will bring us back around eventually. We just have to weather the storm and trust in that feeling to pull us through.

To have allowed themselves the time and space to reach this point of comfort and confidence now feels like a starting point for everything that the band will do in the future. Expanding their empire in all corners of the world and delivering their biggest statement of intent to date is the beginning of a whole new chapter in the story of one of the most devastating and dedicated assets to British heavy music.
