Missing Persons have shared their brand new single "Ice Blue Eyes". The track comes from their forthcoming album, "Hollywood Lie", which will arrive on November 10 on all formats, including CD and vinyl. Glass Onyon sent over these details:
One of the most quintessentially '80s rock groups is back with a brand new studio album of all original material that revives the band's vintage sound and edgy, melodic songwriting. Founded in the '80s under the stewardship of Frank Zappa, Missing Persons brought the musical inventiveness of Zappa-styled art rock to mainstream pop, a combination that produced a series of brilliant hit singles - "Destination Unknown," "Words," "Walking In L.A." - that remain as indelible today as they were when they were first released. The band went on to become an influential touchstone for numerous modern pop artists from No Doubt's Gwen Stefani to Lady Gaga, largely thanks to its visionary singer and fashion icon Dale Bozzio, who continues to lead the band, now in its fifth decade, both on stage and in the studio.

"Don't Call 9-1-1, but we think 'She's Nuclear' is the hottest rock track OF THE YEAR!" (continue)

(hennemusic) Bush is streaming a video for its new single, "Nowhere To Go But Everywhere", from the band's newly-announced collection "Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023."
Directed by Jesse Davey, the clip is for the song's exploration of mourning youth, while questioning the lengths people go to avoid aging. "While anyone can identify with clinging to the past which the song addresses, the extremes we've seen some people go to for external youth is unnerving," says Gavin Rossdale. "It is a drag watching your own face age - and yet, as David Bowie said, 'The thing about aging is you become the person you should have been all along.' Genius. And feels true." (continue)
