(hennemusic) Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth is streaming "Wash And Fold", a previously-unreleased song he recorded during a series of 2007 sessions with John Lowery, aka current Motley Crue touring guitarist John 5.
"It's called 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bar & Grill', and it was designed as a jukebox musical after seeing what the South Park fellows did," Roth told Rolling Stone in 2013. "'Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bar & Grill' is the opening theme song, and it's about an Indiana kid who goes to sleep - think The Wizard Of Oz - and the characters in his life, the butcher, the baker and the newspaper guy, pop out of posters and sing him a song called 'Giddyup.'

The Sleeping Souls are excited to announce the release of Just Before The World Starts Burning, the explosive UK rock band's debut studio album. Best known as Frank Turner's loyal bandmates and dedicated road warriors, The Sleeping Souls recorded Just Before The World Starts Burning over the last three years between Turner's rehearsal space in Oxford and Badlands studios in Ireland, resulting in 12 tracks that touch on numerous themes such as lost love, frustration, escapism, obsession, and personal family relations.
Including the anthemic single "Liar/Lover," the highly-charged punk ripper "Caught Up In The Scrape," "Rivals," a loaded lament on the antagonistic pains felt between feuding families, and the introspective "Weathering The Storm," Just Before The World Starts Burning was an album written mainly on the road that delivers scorching riffs, pounding drums and heavy downstrokes of guitar compounding the frenetic energy The Sleeping Souls are rightfully known for.
