Originally released in 1983, Pyromania launched Def Leppard into rock legend status. The album featured global hit singles "Photograph", "Rock Rock (Til You Drop)" and "Rock of Ages" and went on to achieve platinum status across the globe (including a # 2 chart entry in the USA).

Neil Young With Crazy Horse releases "Fu##In' Up", featuring newly recorded versions of songs in all their Ragged Glory available now via Reprise Records. There are certain albums that have an aura around them. It can't really be planned, but there is something in the way all the music performances and material come together to set them on their own plateau. The interesting part of that equation is that there is no way to plan on the results, or even predict. They often come together as they are being recorded, and that is the start of a wonderful journey. FU##IN' UP, recorded in 2023, is truly a work unto itself, available now via Reprise Records.
These nine songs from Young's ever-growing catalog are injected with the kind of audio attack that Young and Crazy Horse have been playing since they started performing in the late 1960s. It has been a constant capturing of what rock & roll is really capable of, and one that shows no sign of stopping. The Crazy Horse lineup on FU##IN' UP includes Billy Talbot (bass, vocal), Ralph Molina (drums, vocal), Micah Nelson (guitar, vocal, piano), Nils Lofgren (guitar, vocal, piano) and Neil Young (guitar, vocal, harmonica). The sounds these five musicians achieve cannot be predicted, and allow an element of sonic surprise that is a definition of how the boundaries of bands are always up for revision, and supply the music to march into the future with an unparalleled power.

Southtowne Lanes is thrilled to share "Find Your God", the latest single from their forthcoming album Take Care. "Find Your God" is an blistering track that races through guttural screams only to find peace and acceptance in its final moments.
"Soaring up, I'm running with whatever change is occurring," shares singer/guitarist Matt Kupka. "If my father's death was the light going out and escaping up to the skies, I am desperately racing against the speed of light to meet him before he departs this world. The song races up and up, and finally breaks through the clouds." (continue)
Atlanta-based American guitarist Eddie 9V has released his new single "Saratoga" via Ruf Records. It is the first single taken from Eddie's new studio album released later this year.
"Saratoga was written under a perfect western landscape," says Eddie. "We had an off day on the road and I was sitting on a random Air B&B porch picking a riff I had recently come up with. I was writing all these little lyrics while looking out to a huge mule deer directly in front of me eating grass and carrots that I was throwing to them." (continue)
The Get Up Kids today announced a North American headlining tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their seminal 1999 LP, Something To Write Home About. Following on June 23rd performance at Pittsburgh's Four Chord Music Fest, the trek will see the band playing the album in its entirety at each show, including two nights at Los Angeles' Troubadour and Chicago's Metro, plus shows at Brooklyn's Warsaw and Toronto's Danforth Music Hall, before ending with at Las Vegas' Best Friends Forever Fest.
In the two and a half decades since the release of this landmark album, the four core members of The Get Up Kids - Matt Pryor, Jim Suptic, Rob Pope, and Ryan Pope - have explored side projects, helmed solo ventures, and held stints in high-profile bands. They've also started businesses, found spouses, and raised kids. Still, run into them on the streets of Lawrence, Kansas, these days, and you'll find that - perhaps beneath a beard - each has retained the high-spirited, unwavering authenticity that fans stood feet from at basement shows before the band's sophomore breakthrough.
