Mike Peters, the iconic leader of The Alarm, has a shared a personal message with fans informing them that his cancer has returned and he is currently undergoing treatment.
Peters wrote: 29 years ago today on October 25th 1995, I first heard the words "Cancer and Mike Peters" in the same sentence. October 25th 2024 is also the day I would have started conditioning for Stem Cell Transplant at The Christie Hospital in Manchester but unfortunately on October 3rd, I discovered that the Richter's Syndrome had aggressively broken down my hard-earned remission and, therefore, denied me the opportunity to have this potentially lifesaving procedure. So close, yet so far. (continue)
Ahead of the eagerly anticipated release of the 30th Anniversary Edition box set of the band's seminal Blue Album (November 1 via Geffen/UMe), Weezer has shared the only known band recording of "Superman" (Garage Practice), one of their earliest songs. Recorded during band practice in June 1992 the recording is a fascinating snapshot into the earliest days of the band rehearsing in their garage just months after forming.
"With these garage rehearsals, we have a totally unique and fleeting glimpse into the earliest dynamics of Weezer," writes longtime friend, collaborator, and de facto band historian Karl Koch in the liner notes accompanying this definitive release. "The decision to roll tape 'live' in the garage seems to have been random, and it only happened twice. The very existence of these recordings depended on pure luck, as the tapes were apparently lost not long after I duped them back then." (continue)
Grammy-nominated powerhouse Beth Hart is back with the release of her highly anticipated new album, You Still Got Me, out now via Provogue / Mascot Label Group. To celebrate the occasion, Beth has also unveiled a stunning in-studio video for the album's explosive opening track, "Savior With A Razor," which features a jaw-dropping collaboration with Guns N' Roses' legendary guitarist, Slash.
The track, a soaring rocker, erupts with Beth's gritty vocals, as she snarls the powerful lyrics: "Dig my bad bones out the trash, sell my sick soul, keep the cash, kiss the preacher, kiss my ass, I'm a rager, like a savior, with a razor, I'm takin' the devil down." This Bond-like anthem thunders with nihilistic defiance, and Beth's towering vocal performance guides the listener through the shadows, breaking through the ceiling with Slash's electrifying guitar wrapping itself around the story. The two artists unite in a dynamic and intense performance that showcases their undeniable chemistry. (continue)

Southern California's modern rock torchbearers, Robert Jon & The Wreck, have just released their powerful new single, "Boss Man," alongside the Red Moon Rising Deluxe Edition, now available on all digital platforms. This Deluxe Edition features the original tracks from the band's 2024 album, Red Moon Rising, the two CD Bonus Tracks "Hate To See You Go" and "Rager" along with two brand new songs, "Boss Man" and "Life Between The Lines," making this a must-have for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
"'Boss Man' is an anthem calling for unity and awareness amongst all people," guitarist Henry James explains. "It's a cautionary tale involving environmental, humanitarian, and political concerns. It asks for us all to consider that all people in power (and those vying for political office) do not necessarily have our best interests at heart and to be wary of the potential for deceit. It asks the listener to stand together and care for their neighbours, families, and friends." (continue)
On the heels of their successful cover of the Elvis Presley classic "Suspicious Minds," Las Vegas rockers Velvet Chains announce another original single from their debut album scheduled for March 2025.

The song's verses and chorus are delivered with power by Viper as he delivers the haunting message of "My heart's still beating but I'm dead inside." The bridge turns the melody into something unforgettable as Goldschmidt, Boldt, Viper and Cassiano all trade lead vocal lines before returning to the final chorus. "Dead Inside" was produced by Mitchell Marlow (In This Moment, New Years Day, Cassadee Pope). (continue)

Lips Speak Louder - the emerging Nashville alt-rock duo featuring Rachel Brandsness and Angie Lese - is back with the third single off their forthcoming debut album, a stirring track called "Dog Days of Summer" that's available everywhere now.
Following the faster-paced, slightly heavier feel of their first two singles "Hype" and "Crush," Lips Speak Louder's incredible versatility is on full display on the new release, as the pair slows things down to create a song that's an inspirational musical journey of self-awakening and defiance against the norms.

Canadian progressive/post-rock troupe Versa just released their new album "A Voyage / A Destination, Part 2", and to celebrate we asked Matthew Dolmage to tell us about the single "Flew The Coop" feat Ross Jennings(Haken). Here is the story:
I originally sketched this song out in 2011. It was one of the first songs I'd written that was intended from the start to feature more vocals. I struggled a lot with writing lyrics in those days, and the original lyrics for the song, that was used for probably a year, were inspired by webcomic 'Wigu', about a little boy and the adventures he'd go on with a magic horse named Sheriff Pony, and an anthropomorphic potato named Topato.
