Stick To Your Guns have shared a music video for their new single "Severed Forever" to help announced that they will be releasing their new studio album, "Keep Planting Flowers" on January 10th.
"Keep Planting Flowers is a collection of songs that exist to spite the nihilistic narrative that plagues our minds and societies," Jesse Barnett says about the album. "One that says things are just the way that they are and that regardless of the burning rage or depthless depression that this fills us with, there is simply nothing we can do about it. I militantly reject such a joyless outlook on the one life that I get the honor of living. A new world needs a new you, so no matter how bad things get, keep planting flowers." (continue)

(hennemusic) Heart singer Ann Wilson took to social media to share a new video where she provides an update on her health status following a cancer diagnosis and treatment earlier this year.
"Hello, everybody. Ann Wilson here," begins the rocker in a new video. "Now I know lots of you have been wondering how I've been doing, so I thought it'd be best if you heard this straight from me. I'm doing absolutely fine now, but it's been, to put it mildly, a lot. Chemo is no joke. It takes a lot out of a person. And then there's that two weeks of waiting around for test results, a form of mental torture. (continue)
Guns N' Roses icon Duff McKagan has announced today's premiere of two new songs, "Heroes" and "True To The Death Rock N Roll Ballad," both available now at all DSPs and streaming services. A distinctive cover of David Bowie's timeless classic, the double-sided single - which pairs Heroes with a brand-new Duff original - heralds next week's kickoff of McKagan's eagerly awaited Lighthouse Tour '24, a world headline run getting underway September 30 at Dublin, Ireland's The Academy. US dates begin November 4 at Boston, MA's Paradise Rock Club.
"We thought it was good idea to put out a couple of fresh songs right here on the eve of the Lighthouse tour," says Duff McKagan. "Choosing David Bowie's HEROES seemed to be a natural subject matter for me (I am of course, a massive history nerd)...star-crossed lovers in the shadow of the mid-70's cold-war era Berlin Wall. To try and compliment this era, I chose a sort of 70's glam-rock song that I wrote some time last year, TRUE TO THE DEATH ROCK N ROLL BALLAD, another lyric where love and lust and time are the central figures. We hope you dig this 'single' and thank you all for just being you!" (continue)

Seattle rockers The Jaws of Brooklyn just released their new single, 'Litebringer,' which was produced by Grammy-winner Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes), and to celebrate we asked Bryan Cohen to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
My biggest fear when I am writing a new album is not being able to top the last record. Honestly I think it's a feeling a lot of songwriters grapple with. So when I started writing new The Jaws of Brooklyn record I wanted a banger that had a similar feel to our song Fever from our first record. In December of 2023 I contracted COVID and ended up stuck in my bedroom with just a guitar. I started strumming and a Kinks like riff popped out. Like..."here I am". I knew it had a similar energy to Fever so I started playing with a 60's sounding chorus to match the riff. I was thinking of "Black Keys' Lonely Boy and using the words WRONG and RIGHT and I BRING THE LIGHT. That is when I remembered Pierce Brown's Sci Fi book Light Bringer. GOOD TITLE!!!! (continue)
