DUSTIN LYNCH DROPS CHILL SUMMER JAM "EASY TO LOVE"

Dustin Lynch ain’t “Easy To Love.” Flipping the title of his brand-new single in an unexpected way, the MULTI-PLATINUM star is the first to admit he’s stubborn, restless, and tough to pin down when it comes to matters of the heart. Listen to the chill summer jam here.

Written by Lynch with Ben Johnson, Jon Robert Hall, Hunter Phelps, and Zach Crowell, the autobiographical narrative speaks to Lynch’s life on the run as he confesses that he’s always been good at going alone – but is still looking for more: “I’m still thinkin’ maybe one day I’ll find her / They always say when you know, you know / If I know me, she’ll be my next right turn / But I’ll take a left just to see where it goes.” 

Equal parts vulnerable and vibey, easygoing production by Crowell wraps warm guitars and sunlit grooves around Lynch’s self-aware lyrics and no worries charm. “Easy To Love” marks the anticipated follow-up to Lynch’s 10th #1 “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll).”

The adjoining music video further speaks to the track’s blue-skied optimism as a visual love letter to Key West. Filmed under director Jack Owens, the Florida footage captures Lynch ready for every opportunity that comes his way.

Throwing his see-and-be-seen pool parties for the last decade, he will next host DUSTIN LYNCH POOL SITUATION: NASHVILLE 2025, presented by Hey Dude. Returning for the third year at the rooftop pool of Margaritaville Hotel Nashville, the 18+ event is set for June 6 during CMA Fest weekend. Admittance is FREE on a first-come, first-served basis – but Lynch’s Stay Country Club members will get exclusive early access. Fans can join the Stay Country Club now.

Keeping the party going on June 7, Lynch will offer Nashville a taste of his Club Set – from his 2025 WYNN NIGHTLIFE LAS VEGAS RESIDENCY – when he hosts the DUSTIN LYNCH NIGHTLIFE PARTY at Barstool Nashville. Admittance for the 21+ event is FREE on a first-come, first-served basis. For a VIP table, text 615.606.2889.

Ryan Woods Returns With New Single "Full Speed Ahead"

FEARLESS RECORDS artist Ryan Woods returns with his brand new, bedroom-y pop single "Full Speed Ahead."

He has shared the visualizer.

Watch it below.

Despite the title, the song is a dreamy, beautifully lazy slow burn. Woods sings the poignant lyrics, his voice drenched in emotion. "Full Speed Ahead" escalates in the choruses, giving full-on The Beatles' vibes alongside '60s-inspired harmonizing. It's like six songs all rolled into one.

"I wrote 'Full Speed Ahead' during quite a confusing time in my love life," Woods shares, laying his emotional cards face up on the table. "Being someone who has endured deep pain and trauma from past relationships, moving on, and healing is a very long and difficult process."

Woods continues, "I had quickly developed deep feelings for someone and the fact that they were reciprocating was thrilling, yet it also scared me to death. I felt like a deer in headlights, looking upon a train moving 'Full Speed Ahead.' My once-pure and beautiful feelings were now poisoned by fear and daunt. How excited I was to love somebody! But will they set me free or rub salt in my wounds?"

Last year, Woods shared the glorious video for "Garden." Watch it here.  

He also served up his rendition of the Minnie Riperton classic "Lovin' You." Watch that video here. 

More music from Ryan Woods is on deck for 2025.

He also has a show set for The Echo in Los Angeles on May 20. Get tickets here. 

ABOUT RYAN WOODS:
After one listen, it would be easy to assume Ryan Woods fell from the heavens and landed smack dab in the middle of modern pop music and culture. He defies genres and eras with an otherworldly je ne sais quoi. Flaunting a sky-high range and head-turning fashion sense, Woods exudes a swaggering gusto befitting of your favorite '70s rock star, yet he opens up with a level of candor decidedly intrinsic to Gen Z. Musically, he laces D.I.Y. pop with psychedelic experimentation and existential ruminations that are both provocative and catchy. Initially, he gained traction with covers on social media, even inciting a retweet from Shawn Mendes. Woods has cultivated his signature style by logging countless hours in both Nashville and Los Angeles sessions. "Bad Texter" was a breakthrough moment in 2021 — reeling in over 28 million Spotify streams and counting, it paved the way for his King of the Basement EP. Of the latter, Thomas Bleach raved, "This EP highlights that growth and introspective manner that has made him an artist you need to keep an eye on," while INTERSECT Magazine applauded, "Woods' lyrics are poetic, witty, and most of all, authentic." Now partnered with Fearless, Woods is ready to bring his dreamy compositions, which are so much more than bedroom pop, to an even wider audience. 

Ian Munsick & Flatland Cavalry’s Cleto Cordero Team Up for “God Bless The West,” Out Now

When Ian Munsick moved to Nashville in pursuit of music more than 10 years ago, the Wyoming native was leaving behind more than just his home; he was walking away from a natural landscape whose ethereal beauty inspires him creatively like no other. Now, Munsick is sharing a wistful love letter to the West, alongside Flatland Cavalry’s Cleto Cordero, with the release of “God Bless The West,” available now.
 
Written by Munsick, Jeremy Spillman and Casey Beathard, and produced by Munsick, Spillman and Jared Conrad, “God Bless The West” is a longing tribute to the West, and a plea for the land to remain as wild as possible despite the demands of modern innovation.
 
“We all have that person and place we pray will always be there, untouched by the hands of time. That’s what the West is for me,” Munsick reflects. “Even though the people and the land are ever changing in this modern age, I hold onto the hope that the West will hold onto her rugged charm that draws us in.”
 
“Always been a fan of Ian’s good-vibe-energy and music so I was delighted to receive an invitation to record a song with him,” Cordero shares. “He sent me the song on a Monday night. I listened while chopping onions for a dinner recipe. I immediately replied, sending him a video of me crying (from the onions) saying how much I loved the song and was grateful for the opportunity. We ended up recording it the very next morning with him at the desk which I found truly impressive: the man can write, play, sing, dance AND engineer!? Indeed, God hath blessed the West!”
 
On collaborating with Cordero, Munsick adds, “From Montana to Texas and California to the Mississippi, there really is no place on God’s green earth like it. Turns out, Cleto Cordero from Flatland Cavalry feels the same. We may have grown up 1,000 miles apart, but the vastness of the West connects us… I have a feeling we aren’t the only ones.”
 
“God Bless The West” is the latest release off Munsick’s upcoming third studio album, Eagle Feather, due April 18 via Warner Music Nashville. With the 2023 release of his sophomore album White Buffalo, Munsick spread the Rocky Mountain gospel with his raw, untamed depiction of the American West. With Eagle Feather, Munsick expands on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him. 
 
While the white buffalo represents prosperity and rebirth, the eagle feather is inspired by the native symbol representing honor, strength and wisdom, and serves as a continuation of his sophomore project by highlighting Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is. 
 
Munsick is currently headlining his spring 2025 Horses Are Faster Tour featuring a rotating lineup of support including Colby Acuff, Avery Anna, Chayce Beckham, Bayker Blankenship, Kashus Culpepper, Hudson Westbrook and Jake Worthington. In 2024, Munsick opened on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour and supported Morgan Wallen on select dates of his record-setting One Night At A Time Tour.

About Ian Munsick:
A native son of Wyoming, Ian Munsick has accumulated over 900 million global streams across two albums – Coyote Cry and White Buffalo – and a host of accolades, including 19 awards and 14 festival selections for his documentary, White Buffalo: Voices of the West. Having painted a stampeding, spirited portrait of the American West with his sophomore album White Buffalo in 2023, Munsick is expanding on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him, readying the project’s follow-up 20-track album, Eagle Feather, due on April 18, 2025 via Warner Music Nashville. In addition to selling over 100,000 headlining tickets in 2024, Munsick also opened on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour and supported Morgan Wallen on select dates of his record-setting One Night At A Time Tour. Munsick is currently headlining his spring Horses Are Faster Tour. He has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and most recently was named a Martin Showcase Artist. Standout duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson) off of White Buffalo hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown, was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received RIAA Gold-certification alongside “Long Haul” and “Horses Are Faster.” Fans of Ian Munsick will always find an open heart, natural awe and plainspoken honesty as he rides on… bringing the West to the rest.

Deadly Apples Team Up with Danny Lohner of NIN for Heavy New Single "Envious and Little" ​

Montreal-based rock/metal powerhouse Deadly Apples is back with a new heavy and dark single, "Envious and Little," available now on all major streaming platforms. The track features a special guest appearance by Danny Lohner known for his work in Nine Inch Nails.

"Envious and Little" marks the second single from the band’s upcoming album, DISTRESS, slated for release this summer. Produced by Lamothe, mixed by Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Depeche Mode), and with pre-production helmed by Michael Beinhorn (Korn, Soundgarden), "Volatile" and "Envious and Little" is a testament to the band's dedication to working with some of the most respected names in rock and metal. "My brothers from the north have concocted a wild, stirring, and decadent collection of songs. 'Volatile' is but a glimpse into their madness," said Ben Grosse.

The band's previous single, "Volatile," hit a major milestone with 250k+ streams on Spotify in under a week, along with over 150k views on the official music video. "Volatile" also made waves by landing on several prominent editorial playlists.

In recognition of their growing success, Deadly Apples has been moved to the Main Stage at the upcoming Vivo x El Rock Festival in Peru. They’ll perform a 1-hour set just before Anthrax, Marilyn Manson, and Avenged Sevenfold. In addition to their festival appearance, the band will also be performing intimate acoustic shows as side events in Peru.

Deadly Apples will continue their momentum with a performance at Welcome to Rockville on May 14th, with additional tour dates around the festival to be announced soon. For now, a date with Filter has been confirmed for May 16 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Deadly Apples have built a loyal following thanks to their unique sound and relentless touring schedule, which has seen them share the stage with rock and metal heavyweights around the globe such as Korn, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, and Rammstein.

Fans can stream or download "Envious and Little" on all major platforms.

About Deadly Apples:

Montreal rock / metal band Deadly Apples – frontman / lyricist Alex Martel and drummer / composer Antoine Lamothe – has forged a reputation for its fierce, unpredictable, and high energy live performances often culminating with Martel diving – and drowning – into the crowd.  As rock music – and society – has become increasingly safe and bland, the French-Canadian band has received praise for bringing back the danger and unpredictability to unsuspecting audiences.

Accompanied on stage by a touring guitarist and keyboardist / dancer, the Great White North act has showcased its intensity in arenas and stadiums around the globe – United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, Japan – on high-profile tours with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Deftones and Rammstein, as well as Main Stage slots on festivals such as Hellfest Open Air, Knotfest, Vans Warped Tour, Hell & Heaven Fest and Resurrection Fest.

On their new full-length album DISTRESS, Deadly Apples push the limits of their catchy sound to every extreme: darker, deeper, and heavier, yet their most accessible work yet.  Interlaced with cinematic atmospheres, poignant melodies, singular screams, gritty analog synths, pummeling drum beats, abrasive guitars, delicate pianos and heartfelt lyrics, DISTRESS is a unique, relevant and modern take on a classic genre that they made their own.

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album was produced by Lamothe, mixed by Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson) and mastered by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails), with NIN alumni Danny Lohner performing the guitars / bass and Richard Patrick of Filter providing guest vocals.  Early pre-production work was also completed with Michael Beinhorn (Korn).

Deadly Apples is back and will fucking destroy anyone standing in its path.
THE DISTRESS IS COMING…………………………………………..

Upcoming Show Dates:

March 29, 2025 @ "VIVO X El ROCK" Festival in Lima, Peru with Avenged Sevenfold,  Marilyn Manson, Anthrax, and more

May 14, 2025 @ Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, FL

May 16, 2025 @ Workplay in Birmingham, AL with Filter

Messiness shares indie rock gem 'Previous Life', a psychedelic reconstruction of the past

Psychedelic-tinged indie rockers Messiness present their debut single 'Previous Life' - an upbeat sonic reflection on alienation, sensory excess, and the paradox of nostalgia. At its heart, the song articulates an existential crisis in which the self seeks refuge in an imagined past that is not so much remembered as it is constructed. This is the first taste of the band's first album, slated for release later this year via Tarla Records and StoneFree Records. 'Previous Life' imbues psychedelic indie rock with a raw, rebellious exploration of life.

Revolving around Sicilian singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, writer and sociologist Max Raffa, Messiness is the welcome result of his remarkable journey, carved through Europe’s cultural landscapes, from sun-bleached Balearic shores to British harbour towns, as Raffa performed in various rock’n’roll bands while conducting the ethnographic research that ultimately shaped his musical vision. Finally landing in Milan’s shadowy outskirts - in the gritty underbelly of Italy’s fashion capital - Raffa assembled a proper motley crew: Rosario Lo Monaco wielding guitars, Filippo La Marca manning the keys, Giovanni Calella thumping the bass, and Luca Anello keeping the beat.

"This “Previous Life” is not a site of historical retrieval but a metaphysical counterpoint to the suffocating present—a liminal space where agency dissolves, aspirations are rendered obsolete, and structure itself is negated. The song thus stages a dialectic between presence and absence, reality and myth, in which the very act of longing for another life exposes the impossibility of its attainment," explains Max Raffa.

"'Previous Life' is not merely a reflection on nostalgia; it is an interrogation of nostalgia’s internal contradictions. The song exposes the futility of retreating into an imagined past, revealing that such a past is, by definition, uninhabitable. The impulse to escape is simultaneously an acknowledgment of entrapment—the longing for a life beyond structure, obligation, and meaning ultimately leads not to liberation but to negation."

Messiness creates accessible, vibrant feel-good indie rock with Britpop leanings. Incorporating elements of art pop, psychedelic and space rock elements, their harmonic styles bring Canterbury scene experimentation together with Southern European flavours, drawing from both traditional and urban soundscapes.

In 'Previous Life', the repetition of “I’m making plans for my previous life” serves as both a mantra and a lament. The author clings to the idea of a different, freer existence, but the sheer act of making plans—a forward-looking action—ironically contradicts the notion of a previous life. Max Raffa notes, "This contradiction reinforces the song’s central theme: the longing for a life beyond structure, obligation, and meaning ultimately leads not to liberation but to negation; the search for meaning often leads to its undoing, and the past we construct as a refuge is, in the end, an illusion."

As of March 14, 'Previous Life' will be available from fine online music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and directly from the artist via Bandcamp.

British Rock Sensation INGLORIOUS Unveils New Single “Testify” + Video OUT NOW via Frontiers Music Srl

Acclaimed British hard rock band INGLORIOUS is thrilled to unveil a new single and official video, “Testify,” out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

Lead singer Nathan James commented about the new single:

“'Testify' is one of those songs that, when Colin played me his original demo, I started humming a chorus straight away. It starts with Colin’s awesome bass sound that the fans will notice from the early INGLORIOUS albums. It was a lot of fun to record and is a great introduction to the talents of Richard Shaw (guitar) and Henry Rogers (drums)”.

Watch the Video for “Testify”

INGLORIOUS returns with frontman Nathan James and original bassist Colin Parkinson. Nathan James, who founded the band in 2014, has been singing professionally for 20 years. He has performed/recorded with artists such as Ginger Baker, Uli Jon Roth, and The Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

More recently, he has appeared in Jeff Wayne’s musical version of The War Of The Worlds, Steve Steinman’s Vampires Rock Symphonic, 80’s Classical, and Zeppelin Symphonic. Nathan also fronts Supergroup Iconic, under the Frontiers roster featuring Michael Sweet, Joel Hoekstra, Marco Mendoza, and Tommy Aldridge.

In 2022, after a lengthy UK tour, INGLORIOUS announced a hiatus. After seven years of non-stop touring with bands such as The Winery Dogs, Steel Panther, The Dead Daisies, Last In Line, as well as their own international tours and festival appearances, recording four original albums, a live album and a covers album, everyone felt it was the right time to take a break.

Nathan is now back, looking forward to unleashing his powerful voice, and he joined forces once again with original INGLORIOUS bass player and main co-writer Colin Parkinson, who co-wrote and released the first three albums with the band: 'Inglorious,' 'II' and 'Ride To Nowhere.'

Joining them is renowned guitarist Richard Shaw, best known for his work with English extreme metal band Cradle Of Filth, as well as NG26, Emperor Chung, and Plague Of Angels. Richard brings exceptional musicality and a fresh energy to the band’s sound.

On drums, longtime friend of Nathan, Henry Rogers, completes the line up. A celebrated musician, Henry has played with Touchstone, Mostly Autumn, Mia Klose, and Mark Kelly’s Marathon and has earned accolades such as “Drummer Of The Year” in Classic Rock Prog Magazine and Rhythm Magazine’s list of influential progressive drummers.

TESLA Release Music Video for "ALL ABOUT LOVE" (Electric Version); Announce New Tour Dates! ​

Legendary rock band TESLA has unveiled the electric version of the music video for their latest single, "All About Love." The track is part of their All About Love EP, which is now available as a special edition release on limited collector's 12" vinyl.

WATCH the video below:

What you will hold in your hands is a one of a kind collectors edition 12” VINYL EP that showcases TESLA’s new song “All About Love” in the three formats that TESLA the band is famously known for: ELECTRIC, ACOUSTIC, and LIVE performances. Multiple versions of this new song are presented here on this EP. 

 Music lovers will state that a great “song” will sound great played in any of these formats, so TESLA’s Brian Wheat and Frank Hannon have teamed up to produce this 12” Vinyl EP of their new single  “All About Love” showcasing these different versions of the song. 

Captured by Brian Wheat in his upstate NY recording studio, there is an electric version that shows how the band performs the song in full force, as well as two stripped down acoustic versions that showcase the dynamics of his mixes. Thus, Jeff Keith’s heartfelt lyrics about sharing love can be felt and to honor TESLA’s tradition of  adding an acoustic instrumental to their love ballads, Frank Hannon recorded here a new classically influenced acoustic guitar solo piece titled “From The Heart” that is a nod to their 1987 hit “Love Song”. 

Furthermore, to present the “live in concert”  element of TESLA, a rendition of "All About Love" segues into James Gang’s classic song "Walk Away", both were recorded live at a Las Vegas concert earlier this year. They are included here as bonus tracks! 

Throughout their nearly 40 year career, TESLA the band has performed diligently showing their prowess in these diverse environments. Both their electric and acoustic formats are received with love and acceptance by their loyal fanbase and TESLA the band is still selling out concerts to this day. 

 So put on your headphones or crank up your sound system to enjoy this audiophile vinyl treat; the ALL ABOUT LOVE E.P. with special edition single on a Limited Collectors 12" vinyl.

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 material including 9 new albums since 2000.

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.

Vocals: Jeff Keith
Guitar: Frank Hannon
Bass: Brian Wheat
Guitar: Dave Rude
Drums: Steve Brown

Southern California Punk Rockers INFAMOUS STIFFS Release the Single and Video "No Static"

Southern California punk rockers INFAMOUS STIFFS have released the single and video "No Static" taken from their upcoming six song EP titled “The Ornery Six”, an attitude that has remained consistent with the band since their first release. Their mix of good ol’ fashion Punk Rock n Roll flares with gruffness and an irritable disposition that is reflected in this new batch of tunes. The relentless, crunching guitars, powerful drum beats and driving bass lines set the stage, while the vocals are spit out with gravelly piss and vinegar and the shot of venom necessary to deliver the goods. A Frankenstein’s monster of influences are defused in songs such as “No Static” “Evel Mann” and “Walk Away”, while the soul toucher “Lonesoul” and the bassackward antics of “Loose Screwz” encapsulate the craziness of the world we live in now. The cover track “Top Secret” pays homage to LA’s own Kaos and Johnny Stingray (RIP) and revels in a classic style of punk rock that’s sure to chip a tooth or two.  So grab yourself these tunes and turn it up loud as you drive 100 MPH or do some toe tapping to your own giddy up while your fists fly through the air. This is an explosion of energy from these 4 punkers from California!

The Dead Daisies release their latest single “Love That’ll Never Be” today. The song came together while the band was working on songs for what became their latest album “Light ‘Em Up”. John and Marti Frederiksen had started working on the track with a future Corabi solo record in mind but decided to throw it into the mix for the band to consider. Everyone really liked it and after a few elements were trimmed off and Doug toughened up some of the guitar parts, they all really loved how it came out!!

“Love That’ll Never Be” is a bluesy 70’s Rock ballad reminiscent of The Allman Brothers about a girl who thought the grass was greener until she realises that what she wanted....she already had!!! Now, it’s too late to get it back...” –John Corabi

It’s a timely reminder to be happy with what you have and to love the one you’re with!!

Watch the dramatic video below:

John, Doug, David, Michael and Tommy head out in March to Europe to play cities not previously visited in 2024!

Stay tuned for more dates to be announced and look out for the release of their upcoming blues album, “Lookin’ For Trouble”.

ROCK & BLUES IS INDEED ALIVE & WELL!

Gemini Syndrome Releases Powerful New Single “Suffer in Silence” – A Bold Anthem for Overcoming Struggle Within

GEMINI SYNDROME

Origin: From Nothingness to Everything The Prequel to the LUX Trilogy

Before the LUX trilogy, there was nothing. Now, Gemini Syndrome unveils the origin story—

Origin: From Nothingness to Everything—a prequel that explores the space where

transformation begins. More than just an album, it is a ritual, a sonic initiation into the unknown.

While the full experience will arrive later this year, the band is releasing one single at a time,

allowing each piece of the puzzle to be absorbed before the full revelation.

Produced by Matt Good, this album is an alchemical process—raw, unfiltered, and designed to transmute chaos into clarity, destruction into rebirth. It is both their heaviest and most beautiful work to date, unconcerned with expectation and dedicated solely to truth.

“This album is about the space before everything,”says drummer

-Brian Steele Medina.

“It’s the chaos, the void—where transformation begins. We stopped worrying about what people expected and just made something real, a ritual of transmutation that we want to take our listeners through, step by step. We’re releasing this album one song one at a time because each piece is part of a bigger picture, and we want each one to have a chance to breathe. It’s a journey,” adds guitarist

-Meegs Rascón.

Vocalist Aaron Nordstrom continues, “This album is a departure from the norm. We didn’t want to just be loud for the sake of it; we wanted to be true. This is us, unapologetically.”

Brian Steele Medina concludes, “That’s why we’re giving ‘ORIGIN’ to the world in pieces,

because each song is part of the story we’re telling—a story of authenticity, chaos, and rebirth. Each one is a piece of the puzzle.”

The album’s sound is forged by the unique contributions of each band member. Meegs Rascón delivers dark, atmospheric guitar work, blending heavy riffs with brooding melodies that push the music’s intensity. AP Paveri’s intricate basslines provide a deep, pulsing foundation, amplifying the album’s relentless energy. Brian Steele Medina commands the rhythm section with thunderous drumming—dynamic, primal, and explosive. At the forefront, Aaron Nordstrom’svocals shift between haunting vulnerability and searing power, carving a direct emotional connection with the listener. Together, these four forces create a sonic landscape that is both primal and transcendent—a fusion of aggression, introspection, and raw authenticity.

With Origin: From Nothingness to Everything, Gemini Syndrome extends an invitation— step into the unknown, embrace the process, and undergo the initiation. Each song serves as a catalyst for personal alchemy, revealing deeper truths along the way.

Doobie Drops New Single "Worth A Shot"

Columbus native DOOBIE has quickly become one of the most prominent independent artists in the underground hip-hop scene, earning the reputation of "hip-hop's Kurt Cobain." His breakout single "When the Drugs Don't Work" surpassed 115 million views on YouTube and has earned a platinum certification, marking a major milestone for the independent artist. Doobie's rise has been steadfastly built from the ground up. His music has always been influenced by rock, drawing inspiration from bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and Metallica.

In late 2024, he dropped his first proper rock single: "Early Bird Gets the Whiskey." 

Now, Doobie is kicking the door to 2025 open with another rock anthem — this time it's "Worth a Shot." The song is currently added to Test Drive on SiriusXM's Octane.

Watch the lyric video below:

The track kicks off with an undulating riff and escalates to a full-on rager ... quickly. It's also home to a monster breakdown. If you're looking for ALL the hooks, you'll find 'em in "Worth a Shot." Doobie and his crew approached the song with one goal in mind — to make something badass. 

Mission accomplished.

"I walked in the studio, told my producer [Andrew Baylis] and co-writer [Conor Matthews] that I wanted to make some 'badass shit' today and that's what we did," Doobie shares about the song's origin story. "I pulled up an old drinking quote to use for a song title and we wrote, recorded and produced the whole record in about 3-4 hours."

 Doobie's debut rock release is slated for 2025 and more details will be available soon.

He describes the project as some of the best music he's created, and is excited to bring his own twist to the rock genre.

Throughout his career, Doobie has stayed true to his own experiences, using his music to tell his story. His battle with addiction and life struggles have shaped his lyrics, making his songs deeply personal. Avoiding typical industry collaborations, Doobie has produced most of his music himself, keeping his work as raw and reflective as possible. With his upcoming rock release and continued momentum as an independent artist, Doobie is ready to expand his legacy. Proud of how far he’s come, he sees his success as the payoff for taking the harder path and putting in the work. As the first independent artist from his city to go platinum, Doobie's journey is just getting started.

GILLSAW DROPS SECOND SINGLE "SIREN COMES"

The industrial rock scene is about to get louder and darker with the release of

“SIREN COMES,” the highly anticipated second single from GILLSAW. Following the success of their debut single "RIZEN" just a few weeks back, "SIREN COMES" takes listeners deeper into the heart of their gritty, aggressive sound—a relentless blend of metal, electronic, and industrial elements that define GILLSAW'S unique style.

"SIREN COMES" plunges into the terrifying experience of a man tormented nightly by a seductive Siren. The song captures the push and pull of this encounter, highlighting both the allure and the deadly intent of the Siren. Lyrics like "Her soft barefoot approach / Night prowl capable" and "Silky dominatrix / Smooth with tongue" paint a vivid picture of the Siren's seductive nature, while lines like "Demonic / Kills for thrills / She'll quickly she'll drain your soul" reveal her true, malevolent purpose. The repeated refrain "Thunderous Siren Comes" acts as a chilling reminder of the nightly terror. The story accompanying the song reveals the larger context: Ian, isolated and vulnerable, is the target of these nightly attacks.

RIZEN, a mysterious figure, warns Ian of the Sirens and their soul-stealing intentions. Each night, the Siren's seductive whispers almost break Ian's will, but Rizen's booming cry, "Get up boy, time to run!" jolts him back to reality, sending him fleeing into the night. This nightly ritual of terror and escape leaves Ian broken and on the brink, a mere shell of his former self, trapped in a cruel game orchestrated by Rizen. The song and story work together to create a haunting atmosphere, exploring themes of temptation, vulnerability, and the psychological torment of a seemingly endless nightmare.

Band Bio:

GILLSAW is the brainchild of Bay Area musician Jole Gills, a drummer and sonic experimenter with a lifelong passion for music. His eclectic influences range from industrial pioneers like Ministry and Nine Inch Nails to progressive metal giants like Devin Townsend and Tool, with detours into the experimental realms of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and the cinematic soundscapes of Danny Elfman. Even the ambient textures of new age artists like Steve Roach find their way into the mix. All these elements converge to create Gillsaw's unique and captivating sound.

Deadlands Share Video for The Pretty Wild Collab Track "Kundalini"

New York-based band DEADLANDS, who joined the Spinefarm roster in 2024, are kicking off 2025 with a vicious new track. Today, the band has shared the video for new single "KUNDALINI," which is a complete collaboration with The Pretty Wild.

Watch it below.

"When we started writing 'Kundalini,' everything just felt so natural. CJ [Arey] and I walked into the studio and instantly clicked with The Pretty Wild girls (Jyl and Jules), and of course, Andrew the producer. From the very start, there was an incredible synergy, and we got right down to business. In just two days, we had created something truly special. The experience was infused with divine, feminine energy, and it was nothing short of inspiring," says Deadlands singer Kasey Karlsen.

She continues, "I'm beyond thankful to have worked alongside such brilliant and badass women. Jyl and Jules brought their unique artistry and creativity to the table, elevating the song to a whole new level. CJ and I were also blown away by Andrew's immense talent — his contribution was extraordinary, and we'd love to collaborate with him again in the future."

Karlsen finishes, "'Kundalini' is Deadlands' first-ever collaboration, and it's an honor to have teamed up with The Pretty Wild."
 
Jules from The Pretty Wild also offers a look into the song, saying, "'Kundalini' represents the primal, divine energy waiting to awaken, and that untamed force became the heartbeat of this song, a surge of calling out toxic femininity, empowerment, and transformation. We loved channeling that metal-physical edge, stitching together the spiritual and the brutal. Collaborating with Deadlands was an unforgettable journey, and we all poured everything into this beast, we can't wait to unleash it live."

"Kundalini" follows the Fall 2024 release of the video for "VILLAIN." Watch it here.

DEADLANDS are a New York-based band infusing fresh and unexpected energy into traditional post-hardcore. Founding member and frontwoman Kasey Karlsen is used to laying her cards face up on the table, as she has been writing about her toxic relationships, friendships, hardships, and current events  basically all topics that are near and dear to her heart — since she was in high school. She also draws over million followers across platforms, thanks to her compelling content. CJ Arey, professionally known as "NO SHADE," creates melodies for the guitar and bass while simultaneously inputting his own flare of trap and cinematic references into the production of the music. In 2024, the band headlined shows across the United States while making stops to perform at Louder Than Life, Aftershock, and Blue Ridge Festivals. Deadlands are working on more music for 2025, with tour plans on the horizon. Fans of bands like Asking Alexandria, Motionless In White, Escape the Fate, Falling in Reverse, Wage War, and Bring Me The Horizon will be magnetically drawn to DEADLANDS.

HANABIE. Release New Track "Tasty Survivor" (via Sony Music Japan) Featured On 'Momentarily Lily' Anime Streaming Now on Crunchyroll

Harajuku-core trailblazers HANABIE. are kicking off 2025 deliciously with their new track "Tasty Survivor"(via Sony Music Japan). Today's release is the featured ending theme song for the new anime series 'Momentarily Lily' streaming now on Crunchyroll, with an official music video coming soon. Speaking about the track, vocalist Yukina commented:

"This is our very first tie-in with an anime, and we wrote this track specifically for it! The song reflects the world and characters of Momentary Lily while also capturing the essence of our band life. From the intense “eat or be eaten” vibe of live band battles to the exhilarating build-up toward the chorus, it mirrors the way we warm up for a live show and the anticipation of listeners heading to the venue.

We hope this song becomes a source of energy for everyone living their lives to the fullest all over the world."

Guitarist and vocalist Matsuri shared:

"For our first-ever anime tie-in, we focused on blending the world of Momentary Lily with HANABIE.'s unique style. The result is a track that’s bold and straight-forward, yet carries a touch of fragility. The intensity of the intro, in particular, was inspired by the anime’s battle scenes, so we’d love it if you pay close attention to every detail. There were so many connections between HANABIE. and the characters of Momentary Lily, and we poured all those emotions into the lyrics.We hope you enjoy every aspect of the song, from the lyrics to the music, down to the smallest nuances!"

Bassist Hetsu added:

"This is HANABIE.’s long-awaited anime tie-in song!

We expressed the story of the girls in the anime in true HANABIE. style—it's pop, fast-paced, and features an incredibly catchy chorus that perfectly matches the battle scenes. We think it’s going to be addictively fun!

The bass line is also super catchy and intense, so make sure to pay attention to that as well.

We hope you’ll enjoy the song together with the anime! ♪"

HANABIE. drummer Chika also commented:

"This is our first-ever anime tie-in, and we had the honor of creating the opening theme for Momentary Lily. While keeping the anime in mind, we also made sure to stay true to HANABIE.'s signature style.

One of the key highlights in the drums is right before the first chorus—a section where the kick drum is hit eight times in a row. It’s a small but powerful detail, inspired by the dynamic and intense battle scenes, as if representing a flurry of attacks.

Just like the anime, this track is full of highs and lows, and we hope it gets your heart racing with excitement as you listen!"

Prior to today, the quartet released their banger "Ito Okashi My Type" from their new EP 'Bucchigiri Tokyo' available now on all streaming platforms, and announced a massive North American co-headlining run with alternative artist Kim Dracula beginning in March 2025. The band has also just announced their EU/UK Fall headlining tour beginning in late October.

Poison the Well Return + Drop First New Song in 15 Years With "Trembling Level" Video

 POISON THE WELL released the definitive album The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation in December 1999 and it went on to become a benchmark of the genre that has inspired a generation of bands. The album was chosen as one of the "15 '90s Metalcore Albums That Still Resonate Today" by Brooklyn Vegan; as one of the "21 Best U.S. Metalcore Albums of All Time" by Kerrang!; as one of the "25 Best Metalcore Albums of All Time" by Loudwire; and as one of the "Top 60 Best Hard Rock Albums of All Time" by Revolver. Its influence is indisputable.

But the band is not content to rest on the laurels of its past achievements, as mighty as those achievements are.

Instead, PTW are looking forward in 2025 by releasing their first new song in 15 years with "Trembling Level."

Watch the video below.

 "Trembling Level" finds Poison the Well in top form. Harmonics pierce the armor of a thick riff, and a guttural groove tosses and turns beneath Jeff Moreira's hard-hitting screams. The barrage subsides on an arresting bridge anchored by a dramatic drumroll. A final melodic warning, "Don't you let the silhouettes lead you to the ocean floor," gives way to one last pit-splitting breakdown.

"For me, I was trying to figure how to effectively incorporate elements from our whole discography into one song," guitarist Ryan Primack reveals. "We ended up with this, and it has a little bit of everything we've done throughout the course of our existence."

"Lyrically, it's about tackling a fear," says Moreira. "I tend to write based on personal experience. You're approaching something you're scared to do, going through it, and realizing the hardest parts are actually the ones you should be looking towards because those will lead you to success.” 

In other Poison the Well News, the band has signed with SharpTone Records. More new music is expected, so stay tuned. The band also fortifies its ranks by officially welcoming bassist Noah Harmon and guitarist Vadim Taver into the fold. Both musicians have played with the group for
years. Now, they round out the lineup.

Last year, PTW announced a massive 25th anniversary tour celebrating The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation this spring.

PTW will be playing the beloved album in full every night, making it show not to be missed.

Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist will serve as support. New dates have been added in Mesa, Arizona and Lawrence, Kansas. 

All dates are below and in the graphic. Get tickets here.

"For me, The Opposite of December... represents everything I absorbed as a teenager: the shows, the music, the raw energy of hardcore and punk. I never imagined that record would still resonate 25 years later. Seeing people continue to connect with it inspires me every day, and I'm so grateful for the opportunities this band has given me," says singer Jeff Moreira. "This upcoming tour is so much more than just a series of shows. It's a celebration of that record, its impact, and the journey we've shared together. We've worked hard to make it special in every way — from the lineup, featuring Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist, to the merch, the setlist, and the production. It's all about honoring The Opposite of December... and the listeners who've supported us through the years."

He finishes, "For this to be our first tour in 15 years feels unreal. I can't wait to celebrate with everyone in April. Open the door for your friend."

SKUNK ANANSIE Release Brand New Single "An Artist Is An Artist" + Video!

British rock icons SKUNK ANANSIE have released their brand new single "An Artist Is An Artist". Their first new music in almost three years, it finds the acclaimed four-piece at the peak of their powers and is a witty, provocative, pulsating slice of spiky, new-wave brilliance.

Tackling everything from ageism to our current need for approval in the digital age, "An Artist Is An Artist" somehow seems to hark back to the band’s vitriolic debut single, "Little Baby Swastikkka," in terms of its confrontational quality. It also reaffirms the fact that SKUNK ANANSIE is part of Britain’s proud agit-pop lineage that extends back to The Slits, whilst also conjuring up the wordplay of Ian Dury.

Watch the Music Video for “An Artist Is An Artist” below.

Produced by David Sitek of TV On The Radio fame, known for his production work with Foals, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Santigold, Solange, Weezer, and Chelsea Wolfe, "An Artist Is An Artist" is the surprising first taste of what’s to come from the band in 2025. Reinvigorated after a period of introspection, their work with Sitek has seen the band twist and turn, stepping out of their comfort zone and re-shaping themselves into a lean and vital musical machine, ready to take on the world once more.

“His name seemed to be on a lot of records that we liked. But none of the records sounded the same. The records all sounded fresh, but mainly the artists all sounded like themselves,” says Skin of the producer.

“He basically reminded us that the process of making music didn’t need to be that complicated. When you start a band it never is, so it was a good reminder of that, and he got us to strip things right down,” continues guitarist Ace.

Listen to "An Artist Is An Artist" HERE

Originally based around a trademarked, hulking Skunk riff, the band listened to Sitek as he reduced the tune to its most primal essence. Then, he decided that they needed to add a sax solo. “I fucking hate sax!” grimaces Skin, “then this really cool fucking dude walks in and played sax like I’ve never heard it before, and at that point my mantra became, just trust The Dave.”

Strangely, what should have felt uncomfortable sounds utterly natural, and the band’s performance in the multi-coloured lyric video showcases how fresh, vital, current, and contemporary they are, a rare feat for a multi-million-selling group three decades on from their very first release.

"An Artist Is An Artist" will no doubt prove to be one of the highlights of the band’s upcoming European and UK headline tour, which kicks off in Portugal on February 28th and continues through Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Czechia, Poland, Denmark, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Belgium before ending in the UK with 14 shows.

Tickets are available HERE

SKUNK ANANSIE, formed in 1994 in London, is a seminal band, one of the first multi-racial British rock bands, who are known for their powerful sound and thought-provoking lyrics. Fronted by the charismatic and dynamic vocalist Skin, the band blends alternative rock with elements of punk and metal. They remain one of the most important and influential bands of their era.

Their debut album 'Paranoid & Sunburnt' (1995), and its follow up 'Stoosh' (1996) both hit the Top 10 album chart in the UK and with hits like "Weak" and "Hedonism," they established themselves on the international stage, helped by their stunning live performances. In 1999, SKUNK ANANSIE closed the decade out in style by releasing their third studio album, 'Post Orgasmic Chill' and headlining Glastonbury Festival, before surprisingly going on a lengthy hiatus in 2001.

The band reconvened in 2008 to embark on the second chapter of their career, releasing three acclaimed albums - 2010’s 'Wonderlustre,' 2012’s 'Black Traffic,' and 2015’s 'Anarchytecture.' In 2019, the band marked their 25th anniversary with '25LIVE@25,' a live album that brings together the greatest songs from their six studio albums.

Throughout their career, SKUNK ANANSIE has sold over five million records globally. The band’s international prominence continues to thrive today, selling out live arenas and headlining festivals across the continent.

SKUNK ANANSIE is celebrated for addressing political and social issues through their music and breaking racial and gender barriers in rock. Their influence extends beyond music, contributing to discussions on identity, equality, and activism.

Dead Poet Society Share New Version of "HURT" (Feat. The Warning)

Los Angeles quartet DEAD POET SOCIETY, who were recently tipped by The New York Post's Page Six as a band to know, dropped their second albumFISSION earlier this year via Spinefarm. It's available here.

They have not taken a beat since releasing the album, embarking on a non-stop, Herculean touring schedule, screaming up the radio charts, and winning over press and fans with every performance. They appeared at several Spring festivals, as well.

Today, they have shared the reimagined version of their single "HURT," featuring rock band The Warning. Listen here.

Watch the visualizer below.

"We're so excited to release this new version of 'HURT' featuring The Warning," Dead Poet Society say. "We first saw Paulina from The Warning singing along to the song on social media, when we were on Shiprocked together. So it seemed only natural to invite her up for a repeat performance at Aftershock. It became such a moment, that we invited them to record a studio version with us and all three of The Warning sisters."

 "The first time we heard the song was while working on our album Keep Me Fedwith our producer, Anton DeLost, who also produced Dead Poet Society's album," state The Warning. "When 'HURT' came out, we were in the studio and heard it there. We immediately congratulated Anton on everything because it was just incredible. From that moment, we became fans of the song. 
 
"Later, we met DPS on Shiprocked and heard the song live for the first time, which was amazing. Then, at Aftershock, DPS invited Pau to perform it with them on stage. That performance brought everything together, and after it, we started talking like, 'Hey, maybe we should hop on the song officially.' Now, we’'e thrilled to see it finally being released. It's such a powerful song, and we're incredibly happy to be part of it."

Elsewhere, their previous single "RUNNING IN CIRCLES," which was a Top 10 track at radio, appears on MADDEN 25, one of the most beloved video game franchises of the fall season. The band also played some of the biggest shows its career, gracing the main stage at Reading & Leeds (UK) and appearing at Pukkelpop (Belgium), Lowlands (Holland), and Rock en Seine (Paris).

Clearly, 2024 has been a banner year for Dead Poet Society thus far. Stay tuned for more from the band in 2025.

Prior to the release of FISSION, Dead Poet Society accumulated over 100 million global streams, with nearly 50 million streams in the U.S. alone. The band also enjoyed two Top 15 singles at radio and key playlisting. They have also spent as much time as possible on the road — having toured with alt rock powerhouses Badflower, Biffy Clyro, Highly Suspect,and BRKN Love. The band has ultimately established itself as an intense live act not to be missed!
