oster The People have shared a visualizer of their brand new track, "Chasing Low Vibrations". Produced by Foster The People lead singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Mark Foster and Chrome Sparks and co-written by bandmate and multi-instrumentalist Isom Innis, Mark Foster, and Jeremy Malvin (Chrome Sparks).
"Chasing Low Vibrations" follows "Take Me Back," the last release from the 3x GRAMMY Award-nominated group's fourth studio album and Atlantic Records debut, Paradise State of Mind. The album arrives on Friday, August 16.
Foster The People made their highly anticipated return this spring with the album's first single , "Lost In Space," available HERE. Hailed by Consequence for "(invoking) moments of psychedelia, the space age, the anthemic of the '80s, and dramatic disco strings," the powerfully nostalgic track arrived alongside an official music video directed by award-winning filmmaker Rupert Holler.

Fit For An Autopsy have shared a music video for their new song "Hostage", which is the lead single from their forthcoming album "The Nothing That Is", that is due on October 25th.
They had this to say about the track, "'Hostage' is an examination of the human trauma and grief one carries through life. The inability to escape events of the past combined with the feeling of an increasingly dark future can weigh on a person like nothing else. This song is intended to capture that complex and overwhelming emotion and conveys the negative side of a sorrowed existence." (continue)
Originally released May 31, 1994, Ill Communication was much more than the record that returned Beastie Boys to #1 on the Billboard 200. In short order, the fourth album from Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "Adrock" Horovitz and Adam "MCA" Yauch would become a multi-platinum juggernaut that pervaded every aspect of pop culture. Ill Communication's charge to global domination was led by "Sabotage" and its unforgettable Spike Jonze/Nathanial Hornblower-directed tribute to '70s cop shows, as Rolling Stone dubbed the album 1994's "soundtrack for summer." Fans and critics alike were equally and instantly floored by hip hop highlights like the opening "Sure Shot," the classic Jimmy Smith homage "Root Down" and the Q-Tip collaboration "Get It Together," while a Vibe cover story hailed Beastie Boys as "perhaps the most consistently innovative musicians to emerge out of hip hop." It was a claim that Ill Communication continues to back up, as the album's infectious sprawl enthralls multiple generations of listeners. From household name hits to sublime instrumentals ("Sabrosa," "Ricky's Theme") to hardcore punk workouts ("Tough Guy," "Heart Attack Man") and realms beyond ("Bodhisattva Vow," "Shambala"), Ill Communication has never stopped growing in stature and impact.
Grand Royal, Capitol Records and UMe are proud to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Ill Communication with today's release of two limited edition versions of this Beastie Boys opus: (continue)
Serj Tankian, lead singer and lyricist for the GRAMMY© Award-winning rock band System Of A Down returns with his new single, "Justice Will Shine On." The raging, impassioned hard rocking tune is available worldwide now on Gibson Records.

Robert Jon & The Wreck have just unveiled their latest single, "Hate To See You Go," now available on all digital platforms. As a special bonus track from their critically acclaimed album Red Moon Rising, "Hate To See You Go" delivers a poignant and emotionally charged narrative about the pain of parting from loved ones. Frontman Robert Jon Burrison explains, "'Hate To See You Go' reflects on the hardships of someone needing to leave the people they love. No matter what area of work it might be, or other reasons, it's always hard to leave, but it's just as hard to watch someone leave. Which is the side that we wanted to emphasize in this classic rock feeling song with guitar harmonies and a chorus that's hard to forget."
This new release follows the success of their eighth studio album, Red Moon Rising, which has been lauded for its fresh take on Southern rock. Produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley, the album blends funk-infused rhythms with thought-provoking lyrics, signalling a bold new chapter in the band's evolution. Tracks like "Give Love", "Down No More" and "Ballad of A Broken Hearted Man" have already resonated deeply with fans, with the latter amassing over 1 million views on YouTube. (continue)
StrateJacket are thrilled to share the lyric video for their propulsive recent single "End of Time". The lyric video comes on the heels of the band's debut album announcement (Bad Start out on October 11, 2024 via EDGEOUT).
Originally fashioned to showcase solos for each band member- Jackson Roemers (lead vocals/guitar, 24), Fabian Angel (vocals/bass, 23) and Nate Mangold (drums, 22) - to take their own solos, "End of Time" plays out like The Who's "My Generation," adding "Hey! Hey! Hey" refrains to the song. (continue)
