Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang Van Halen took to social media to pay tribute to his father, to mark what would have been the famed guitar legend's 69th birthday.
Wolfgang wrote: "I wish you were here so I could give you a big hug, go to dinner, celebrate it with you and make a dumb joke about it being your 69th birthday. Just regular sh*t. I miss hearing you laugh. I miss laughing with you. It's the little things. (continue)

House & Home and Suntitle just released their brand new "Split" EP that features two tracks from each group. To celebrate we asked them to tell us about the EP. Here is the story:
The House & Home / Suntitle split was sort of an overnight idea. Suntitle had a few songs that they'd been sitting on for months, and actually recorded vocals with Pat from House & Home. The songs started as demos and ideas that they collaborated on with past band members. The drums were tracked by their old drummer, DJ before Matt joined, and Tyler, who's played guitar with them in the past, was in the studio as well. The instrumentals and mix were done by Jake Clarke, and they were planning on releasing them in the form of an EP at some point in 2023 or early 2024. It was pure coincidence that House & Home was planning on going into the studio to record some new songs around the same time. We wanted to have some new music ahead of a tour that, funnily enough, never even happened. We went into the studio with loose ideas, made a few demos, and brought everything to Will Beasley to get everything polished and ready to record. The studio was an interesting experience, both good and bad. Some ideas came together effortlessly, while others were a little more labor intensive. "Cellophane," for instance, was an idea that came out of a bit of desperation. There was an idea that we'd spent all day working on that we couldn't quite get to work. We all got a little frustrated, went home to take a break, and came back at around 9pm to start something new. We had the skeleton of that song done in about 20 minutes. Regardless, everyone was looking for the best way to release the songs, and I think it was Matt, who drums in both bands, that came up with the idea of just releasing the songs together. (continue)
