WOLFGANG VAN HALEN’S MAMMOTH Releases Third Song  “I Really Wanna”
Third Album The End, Set for Release on October 24

GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Wolfgang Van Halen is back with the third track from his upcoming studio album, The End. “I Really Wanna” comes on the heels of Active Rock #1 single “The End” and the newly released single, “The Spell.” The instant grat track “I Really Wanna” is a funky rocker that showcases Wolfgang’s unique feel and technique on every instrument.

A music video for the song is also being released that shows Wolfgang playing in the iconic 5150 studio where the song was recorded. The song was produced by friend and collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette.

The song is available via all digital streaming platforms here

Scheduled for release on October 24, Mammoth returns with The End via label home BMG. The 10-track album clocks in at 39-minuttes and showcases the evolution of Wolf and his songwriting since he launched his solo career in 2020. Continuing the tradition of writing all the songs and performing all the instrumentation and vocals himself, Wolfgang Van Halen set out to challenge himself beyond what he did on his debut and second release, Mammoth II.

From the hypnotic opening of “One Of A Kind” to infectious closer “All In Good Time,” Wolfgang demonstrates his proficiency as a musician and songwriter. Songs like “Same Old Song,” “Happy,” and “Selfish” will fit perfectly alongside older songs that fans have already come to love from Mammoth. Mammoth released their first single in May which featured a landmark music video – a remake of the classic film From Dusk ‘Til Dawn – directed by Robert Rodriguez and Greg Nicotero. The video has received over 5-million views and contains cameos from Danny Trejo, Slash, Myles Kennedy, and of course his mother Valerie Bertinelli. Mammoth also released the new single “The Spell”. 
The End is available for pre-order in multiple configurations including limited edition vinyl colours, signed insert version and retailer exclusives here:

ABOUT MAMMOTH
GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Wolfgang Van Halen continues to separate Mammoth from the pack. The music stands alone on a foundation anchored by his impressive sonic proficiency (across drums, bass, keys, and guitar) and airtight arena-size hooks with unforgettable vocals. He harbors an irresistible signature sound, inventive vision, and incomparable identity vaunted by a fervent global fanbase. For as unique as the music is, his story so far proves to be just as unprecedented. This is arguably the first hard rock act to genuinely break out from ground zero in the 2020’s, generating north of 100 million streams, toppling charts, and selling out headline tours less than five years since its debut. Back in 2021, Mammoth’s first offering, Mammoth WVH, took flight, bowing at #12 on the Billboard 200 and capturing #1 on three Billboard charts—Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Independent Albums, and Top Rock Albums. “Distance” soared as the first of two #1 Rock Radio Hits and earned a GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Rock Song.”

Two years later, Mammoth II only saw him pick up the pace. It debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart in addition to bringing him back to #1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart. It incited widespread applause from Rolling Stone, Guitar World, GRAMMY.com, Classic Rock, American Songwriter, and KERRANG! The band canvased the globe with Metallica and Pantera and supported Foo Fighters in North America as well as filling houses on their own. They performed on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, at MusiCares 2024 gala in honor of Jon Bon Jovi, and Wolf took the stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Induction of Ozzy Osbourne. Now, Wolfgang pushes forward on Mammoth’s third full-length LP.

SUDAN ARCHIVES – NEW SONG ‘COME AND FIND YOU’ OUT NOW. NEW ALBUM THE BPM OUT ON STONES THROW OCTOBER 17TH

In the lead-up to her third album THE BPM, Sudan Archives releases “COME AND FIND YOU”, a heartfelt song about chasing a lover as she seeks connection and intimacy. Where earlier singles “DEAD”, “MY TYPE” and “MS. PAC MAN” were raucous, dance-centric party starters, “COME AND FIND YOU” sees Sudan Archives firmly in her Afropop bag, with soaring vocals and searing violin playing front and centre. The new track was produced by Ben Dickey and Sudan Archives, and features live drumming from Dutch mad scientist ZEP.

On THE BPM, Sudan Archives moves with style and grace through her most expressive, extroverted record yet. She adopted a new persona for the album, the technologically-enhanced Gadget Girl, to imagine a dazzling, chrome-plated future in which we’re all tapped into our own sense of rhythm. “No one can take away your rhythm from you – no one can take away your self-will,” she explains. The ideas she explores on the record all ultimately draw back to this one idea. “All those things can be your own power if you utilize them right.”

Sudan Archives executive produced the album, working with a close circle of friends, family and trusted collaborators, and recorded it in Chicago, Detroit, and Los Angeles. The one exception to the friends-and-family rule was inviting Chicago-based Black chamber music collective D-Composed to put together a string quartet for the anthemic string parts.

“COME AND FIND YOU” was built around a loop made by one of Sudan Archives’ stylists, Umesi, which she then turned into a beat in real time. Later, another friend added drums; the resulting track is a sexy, effortless flirtation where Sudan uses her elastic vocals to convey steadfast confidence. This approach speaks to her fully realized self-determination on THE BPM: sometimes, being fully in tune with yourself means ceding space to others and knowing how to bring out the best in the people around you. As she directed and conducted the talented crew around her, Sudan Archives brought out the best in herself, a gadget girl who’s taken yet another monumental step forward with THE BPM – the kind of leap you can only make when you trust your instincts, trust the people around you, and lock into your own rhythm.

BOOTLEG RASCAL REVEAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR ‘SAPPHIRE BOOGIE’ PLUS ADDITIONAL NZ TOUR DATES

Following the release of their taster track ‘Sapphire Boogie’, Yugambeh/Gold Coast-based band, Bootleg Rascal, have just unveiled the accompanying music video – directed and shot by Hamish Stephen (Freddy Crabs, Danté Knows).

Shot at Good Loco Studios (Eora/Marrickville) and Websters Bar (Eora/Newtown), the clip embraces the track’s cocaine-cowboy aesthetic, following two city-slicker “cowboys” from a night of whiskey and line dancing into dream-like sequences that oscillate between euphoria and unease. With the use of green screen, strobe and slow-shutter techniques, it mirrors the song’s rustic guitars and groove-driven riffs, ultimately transporting viewers into a surreal realm.

Guitarist Jimmy Young describes the motivation behind the clip:

“‘Sapphire Boogie’ was born on a writing trip to Sapphire Beach, and it felt like the perfect setting for a track that blurs reality a little. We’d been listening to Paul Cauthen’s Cocaine Country Dancing and loved that wild, cocaine-cowboy energy, so we ran with it – leaning into the imagery and letting it shape the vibe of the song and video. For us, it’s about that point where a night out shifts from ordinary to otherworldly, and you’re not quite sure if you’ve stumbled into heaven, hell, or just the land of boogie.”

Off the back of a relentless touring schedule in 2025, the band will embark on an expansive Australian and New Zealand tour, featuring a mix of free entry shows, ticketed events, and headlining festivals Oktoberfest at Polytech Stadium, and Dunedin Beer Festival at Forsyth Barr Stadium. The band have also just added two additional shows in Ōtautahi/Christchurch and Tāhuna/Queenstown for their New Zealand leg.

This follows on from their nationwide Australian ‘BOOTY BLOCK PARTY’ tour and tremendous ‘Steppin Round The World’ tour of New Zealand, and the UK/EU, including stops in France, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and England. Additionally, they’ve played festivals such as Salty Hops, Live At The Pines, Winter Wine, and Spaced Out, and supported reggae legends Steel Pulse (UK).

‘Sapphire Boogie’ is available worldwide now

DELLACOMA ANNOUNCE THIRD ALBUM

Sunshine Coast Rockers Announce Third Album, “Searching For You In The Darkness” To Be Released on Nov 28.

One of Australia’s finest rock and roll acts, Dellacoma have announced that their third studio album, “Searching For You In The Darkness”, will be released on November 28 via XMusic. To date the, two singles have been released from the album, Heroes and More Than Survival 
The powerful, Heroes, has now been enhanced with a new music video.

Watch it here https://youtu.be/0o-qLoZFGo0?si=eDXHWXYIdXUXk_JO

Frontman Dellacoma Rio says of the track; ‘Heroes is about observing the human condition. As a society we often look to politicians, world leaders, celebrities etc to show us the way forward. It’s easy to get caught in the cycle of believing that we are helpless to solve our problems but this song explores the internal struggle to find pathways to freedom on our own, ways that are personal rather than looking to outside heroes to save us.’

Heroes also comes after the recent release of the Leave A Light On EP that featured not only a power ballad for the ages in the EP’s title track but the spectacular cover of Audioslave’s Like A Stone, and new track, Spare Change.

JUNO-NOMINATED & SOCAN AWARD-WINNING TORONTO ALT-ROCK DUO CLEOPATRICK  RETURN WITH NEW SONG “GUTS”

The ground-breaking, JUNO Award-nominated and SOCAN Award-winning Toronto duo cleopatrick return with their distortion-rich, infectious new single, “GUTS”, out now on all major streaming platforms. Celebrating their 10th anniversary as a band this year, cleopatrick will be in Australia this month, bringing their explosive live show to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane for the very first time.

Rediscovered during a flight home from their sold-out UK tour, which included a sold-out show at London’s iconic O2 Forum, “GUTS” was originally written in the period between cleopatrick’s boys EP and debut LP BUMMER. Though it never made it onto either record, it now emerges as a powerful bridge between past and present.

“Tucked away in a folder of old cleo demos is where I found GUTS. The demo was rad, but for whatever reason the song had never gone anywhere,” shares vocalist and guitarist Luke Gruntz. “Still buzzing from the tour we had just finished, I could see something in it that I hadn’t before. Restless and buckled into my seat, soaring over the Atlantic, I made a plan to finish the song and get it out before we hit the road again.”

Gruntz continues, “It wasn’t the only song I rediscovered on that flight. Ian and I have spent the summer shaping these lost media scraps into something very special – a timeline bending new project that we can’t wait to share with the world. More on that soon. Until then, here is GUTS.  A song salvaged from the circuitry. Pulled back from the quiet decay of ones and zeroes just before it could fade into the static of memory.”

Not to be missed, the band will be heading down under for their debut Australian headline tour this month, bringing the mosh pit-stirrers, the FAKE MOON feelers, and some brand new music that to quote the band “will go hard enough to shake a new subway line into existence.”

Don’t miss cleopatrick live in Australia this month:

Sep 25 – Brisbane, Australia – Crowbar
Sep 26 – Melbourne, Australia – Corner Hotel
Sep 27 – Sydney, Australia – Crowbar

Tickets are on sale now and are selling fast. To purchase, visit: https://threekingstouring.com.au/artist/cleopatrick/

About cleopatrick
Since their inception, cleopatrick, made up of Cobourg, ON natives Luke Gruntz and Ian Fraser, have proved themselves to be one of the most in-demand rising rock bands on the planet. They were the sole band featured in Amazon Music UK’s Ones To Watch 2021 and have amassed over 100 million streams, alongside a string of sold-out tours across Canada, the US, UK, and EU. Their electrifying performances at renowned festivals and their direct support role for Royal Blood in Canada and the US solidify their place in the rock pantheon. Their explosive debut album, BUMMER (2021), not only earned a JUNO nomination for ‘Breakthrough Group of the Year’ but also set the tone for their meteoric rise in the music scene. Praised by Exclaim! as “a solid high-energy debut,” the album features standout tracks like the raw, distortion-heavy anthem THE DRAKE” (which landed the talented duo on Spotify’s marquee New Music Friday Billboard at Yonge and Dundas Square in Toronto), crowd favourite “FAMILY VAN,” (video game PowerPoint Presentation, official video), the riff-packed ““GOOD GRIEF” and the hauntingly beautiful“ 2008”.

In 2022, cleopatrick soared to new heights, winning a SOCAN Award in the Rock category for their Top 5 Canadian and U.S radio hit and breakout single, “hometown.” They complemented their success with the release of their DOOM EP which featured five gritty, fuzz-filled tracks, including the clever and catchy “OK” (WATCH | LISTEN) and the emotionally charged “SCARING ME.” (WATCH | LISTEN)

With their bold sophomore album FAKE MOON released earlier this year, cleopatrick entered a thrilling new creative chapter. Recorded in Brooklyn with visionary producer Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Hand Habits) and featuring acclaimed guitarist Mike Haldeman, FAKE MOON reflects a more experimental, collaborative approach. Featuring the dynamic debut singles “HAMMER, “PLEASE”, “BAD GUY” and “HEAT DEATH”, FAKE MOON embraces imperfections and instinct, channeling a raw aesthetic, described as the audio equivalent of early PlayStation 1 graphics, while showcasing a refined, evolved sound. Guided by the mantra “if it feels good, it sounds good,” the record marks a fearless step forward for the duo, pushing sonic boundaries without abandoning their DIY roots.

Just weeks after the release of FAKE MOON, cleopatrick surprised fans with “TALK DOWN,” a gritty track that cemented their status as one of rock’s most innovative and unpredictable forces. From viral hits to genre-defying albums, cleopatrick continue to carve out their own lane, proving that rock’s future is not only alive but thriving in the hands of a new generation.

JIMMY NICE & THE KNOW ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM ‘AS IT ECHOED OFF THE STOOP’ RELEASED OCTOBER 24th

NEW SINGLE ‘ANOTHER THING’ OUT NOW

Genre-defying project from Australian hip-hop veteran explores stillness and self-reflection through cinematic storytelling and organic instrumentation

Australian hip-hop luminary Jimmy Nice ventures into bold new territory with the announcement of his debut album under the moniker Jimmy Nice & The Know. As It Echoed Off The Stoop arrives October 24 via One Day Recordings in partnership with EMI Music Australia, accompanied by the vibrant new single ‘Another Thing’.

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

The album follows a compelling series of lead singles—P(s)alms, Wanna Be and Threat—and two sold-out debut performances at Sydney’s Trocadero Room, signalling an exciting evolution for one of Australia’s most respected hip-hop voices.

Jimmy Nice & The Know represents a natural progression rather than reinvention. By assembling a collective of accomplished producers, musicians and creatives from Sydney’s fertile inner west scene, Jimmy has created The Know—a living, breathing extension of his artistry and deep sense of community.

As It Echoed Off The Stoop fuses cinematic storytelling with razor-sharp lyricism, wrapped in soulful grit and sophisticated musicianship. The album explores the profound act of finding stillness in our increasingly chaotic world. With The Know providing rich, organic instrumentation, Jimmy moves fluidly between raw confession and quiet observation, unpacking themes of social pressure, personal loss, and the weight of self-reflection—all anchored by recurring motifs of presence and contemplation.

“Since starting a family I’ve been forced to look at my own life and the moments that have forged the figure I am today. The fragility of each decision. This album is a cautionary tale, from me in the present glancing back toward the me of the past,” explains Jimmy Nice.

A founding member of ARIA-nominated duo Spit Syndicate and the influential One Day collective, Jimmy Nice has spent over 15 years shaping Australian hip-hop culture—not only as an MC, but as a graffiti writer, photographer, and creative director. His artistic fingerprints can be found across the local scene’s most significant moments and movements.

With The Know, Jimmy trades 808s for guitars and transforms heartbreak into widescreen catharsis. This is vulnerable, headstrong, genre-defying music—poetry in motion delivered through a livewire blend of hard-won experience and fearless experimentation from an artist who refuses to stand still.

“When you enter the studio with nothing and you leave with something, that’s pure magic. It takes trust. There were 5 people in absolute service to the vision,” Jimmy reflects.

Jimmy Nice & The Know invite listeners to join them on the stoop—a place to pause, reflect, and truly listen. As It Echoed Off The Stoop promises to be one of 2024’s most compelling artistic statements, cementing Jimmy Nice’s position as a vital voice in Australian music.

As It Echoed Off The Stoop is released October 24, 2024 via One Day Recordings/EMI Music Australia.

HOODOO GURUS ANNOUNCE 40TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE 2LP EDITION OF ICONIC ALBUM MARS NEEDS GUITARS!

Australian rock icons Hoodoo Gurus are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their landmark second album Mars Needs Guitars! with a stunning Deluxe 2LP reissue, giving fans a chance to rediscover one of the most beloved records in Australian rock history.

Originally released on 8 March 1985, Mars Needs Guitars! cemented the Gurus’ reputation as one of the most influential guitar bands of the era, delivering unforgettable hits including Bittersweet, Like Wow – Wipeout! and Death Defying.

The 40th Anniversary Deluxe 2LP Edition features:

•LP1: A picture disc pressing of the original 1985 album;

•LP2: A collection of previously unreleased demos, including the never-before-heard outtake Johnny, pressed on Ozone Green glow-in-the-dark vinyl;

•Original artwork by Richard Allen;

•Limited-edition packaging celebrating this milestone release

Fans are also treated to newly remastered audio and a glimpse behind the scenes of the band’s creative process, with early demos showcasing how the Gurus’ sound evolved during this defining period.

“When we made Mars Needs Guitars! we were just focused on making something fun, loud, and honest,” said Dave Faulkner. “Forty years later, it’s incredible to see how much these songs still resonate. This edition really captures the spirit of that time and gives fans a deeper look at how it all came together.”

Released on 8 March 1985, the Hoodoo Gurus’ sophomore album marked a turning point for the Sydney-based band. With explosive drumming from newcomer Mark Kingsmill and standout contributions from Brad Shepherd, the album fused garage-rock grit, power-pop melodies, and irreverent storytelling.

It became a critical and commercial triumph, peaking at #5 on the Australian Albums Chart, earning 3× Platinum certification, and landing the band on international stages. Its success helped establish Hoodoo Gurus as one of the most enduring acts in Australian music.

The Mars Needs Guitars! 40th Anniversary Deluxe 2LP Edition will be available on 17 October 2025, with pre-orders live now from here.

BOYS LIKE GIRLS RELEASE THE HOMECOMING (LIVE FROM THE MGM MUSIC HALL AT FENWAY PARK) LIVE ALBUM AND CONCERT FILM

In 2023, alt-pop powerhouse BOYS LIKE GIRLS made a long-awaited return with Sunday At Foxwoods, their first album in over a decade.

The record is a beautiful meeting of their melody-driven pop anthems delivered with the maturity of a band that had many years of growth in between. It served as a bold reintroduction that resonated with a new generation of listeners, while igniting the hearts of longtime fans.

After writing and producing for artists like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Jason Derulo, frontman and songwriter Martin Johnson brought a sharpened pen and a deeper sense of purpose back to the mic.

With renewed energy, the band performed a sold-out show to 5,000 fans on October 26, 2023 on their hometown stage at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park.

The 120-minute set was filmed and captured BLG in their most natural state — on the stage and in front of fans in unfiltered, electric, and unforgettable fashion.

Now, the band releases THE HOMECOMING (LIVE FROM THE MGM MUSIC HALL AT FENWAY PARK) — a living, breathing document of the evening. Listen here.
Ahead of the album release, the band hosted a premiere of the live concert film for an intimate gathering of lucky winner at Brain Dead Studios on Fairfax last Friday, September 5. The full film is now available to view via YouTube and Veeps.

About the live album, Johnson previously stated: “Fenway Park. The shrine. The cathedral of Boston. Where curses broke, where beers were spilled, where you can feel the city’s heartbeat under green tin and red clay. You don’t just visit Fenway — you belong to it. I was baptized in peanut shells and piss-warm Bud Light. I sat in seats older than my grandfather’s bad decisions and prayed to the church of Big Papi. It was ours. And then… they dug under it. Right into the bones of Lansdowne Street — into the bedrock of garage bands, bar fights, and rat nests the size of golden retrievers. They carved out the MGM Music Hall like a secret lair, a rebel bunker under the battlefield.

“I came up with a generation raised on Dunkin’ Donuts and driven half-mad by traffic on Storrow Drive. We were kids with guitars slung over our backs like bayonets, howling through rusted-out PA systems in the backrooms of American Legions, screaming songs into the linoleum void of church basements while the Sox blew another lead in the 7th. We grew up in the shadow of the Big Dig — a $22 billion pothole we all paid for with our sanity — swallowing granite and history, trying to make room for a future nobody asked for. But under all that concrete? Something was rumbling.

“We were born in abandoned warehouse practice spaces in Haverhill humidity, Charlestown cold, and Taunton’s forgotten back alleys where the floorboards creaked like old Fenway seats and the walls sweated ambition and mildew. Nights under buzzing lights, sleeping above tanning salons, hustling out of the back of Southie dance studios while the Red Line screamed overhead like it knew something we didn’t. This wasn’’ L.A. This wasn’t Brooklyn with its oat milk and self-awareness. This was Boston — revolutionary blood in the bricks, blue-collar fists in the drywall, a city that builds bands like it builds bridges: loud, stubborn, and willing to fall apart a few times before getting it right.

“We played Knights of Columbus halls and churches in Allston packed with sweaty teenagers who still believed in anthems. We got hit with beer bottles and baseballs outside Bill’s Bar. Those anthems carried us around the world a hundred times and back again. And then… twelve years of silence. No encores. No curtain calls. Just echoes.

“But now — we’re back. Back where it started. Under the lights in Fenway’s guest house, on a stage built for second chances. A stage for believers and for the ones who never left the pit. This isn’t just a show. It’s a resurrection. Live from the MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park — this is Boys Like Girls. This is The Homecoming.”

BLG will embark on a slew of upcoming tour dates that run through October. The band has also announced several festival appearances and will be serving as support to The Jonas Brothers through October, as well. So it’s a busy few months of touring ahead

ALTER BRIDGE Release First Track “Silent Divide”  from Upcoming Self-Titled Album, Out January 9

On the heels of the excitement from the recent announcements of their upcoming eighth studio album and their Blackbird festival in Wales next year, acclaimed rockers ALTER BRIDGE are releasing the first piece of music in over two years, “Silent Divide.” The track from the quartet, comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums, shows the band is back and ready to pick up where they left off in 2023. The brooding track begins with the signature guitar tones of Kennedy and Tremonti before the rhythm section of Marshall and Phillips join in. The chorus is powered by Kennedy’s haunting descent as he sings: “Keep your head down, ride out the silent divide.”

A music video for “Silent Divide” is also available today that the band has been teasing for days. A comedic opening skit was released of Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips calling Kennedy’s mom to get the band back together as Myles hangs in his mom’s basement. That scene gives way to a performance of the four guys playing together in a small room – a throwback to the way it all started for them. The video was directed by JT Ibanez.

Watch the new music video for “Silent Divide” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOpu6CFBZJo

With more than two decades performing together, ALTER BRIDGE show no signs of slowing down. The new self-titled album from Napalm Records, Alter Bridge, is comprised of 12 all new tracks from the band and features some of their most iconic moments on record. Songs like “Rue The Day,” “Disregarded” and “Scales Are Falling” will fit alongside any of the classic songs from ALTER BRIDGE’s catalog. “Trust In Me” shows Myles and Mark sharing vocal duties as Myles handles the verse duties while Mark takes the chorus. That strategy is flipped on “Tested And Able” as Mark handles the verses and Myles takes on the choruses behind one of the band’s heaviest intros to date, giving way to an unforgettable melody.

The album closer “Slave To Master” is an epic track that ALTER BRIDGE has come to be known for and is the longest song the quartet has recorded to date. The band worked with longtime collaborator and producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette on their eighth album. Alter Bridge will be released on January 9, 2026.

Pre-Order Alter Bridge https://www.lnk.to/AB-AlterBridge

About ALTER BRIDGE:Back in 2004, four lifelong musicians got together down in Florida. Even though they had traveled separate paths, similar lessons learned, wisdom earned, and dues paid united these gentlemen—Myles Kennedy [vocals, guitar], Mark Tremonti [guitar, vocals], Brian Marshall [bass], and Scott Phillips [drums]—as ALTER BRIDGE. Over the ensuing two decades, the band endured countless trials and tribulations, defied every odd, and rose to the head of the pack as a hard rock juggernaut, cementing a singular legacy by selling out arenas, gathering nearly one billion streams, inciting international acclaim, and quietly attracting a diehard audience. Beginning with the Top 5 entry of 2004’s gold certified One Day Remains, the band have scored six consecutive Top 20 debuts on the Billboard 200. Among a myriad of highlights, Guitarist Magazine applauded “Blackbird” for the “Greatest Guitar Solo of All Time,” the ABIII single “Isolation” vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, 2013’s Fortress received rare perfect scores from KERRANG! and Total Guitar, and Walk The Sky shook the Top Rock Albums Chart at #1.

Beyond packing O2 Arena and Royal Albert Hall, Classic Rock hailed 2022’s Pawns & Kings as “the Rolls-Royce of ALTER BRIDGE records” in a 4.5-out-of-5-star review. Plus, the latter LP garnered praise from American Songwriter, Guitar World, and Loudwire, while Billboard christened them “one of America’s premiere hard rock quartets.” Channeling the same hunger, the band continue to push themselves on their self-titled eighth full-length offering, Alter Bridge [Napalm Records]. It embodies everything they’re known for such as the precise riffs, towering hooks, and solos that practically break guitar strings as they burst through the clouds.

 

 

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Team Up with BABYMETAL on The End

“20 Years Of Five Finger Death Punch – Best Of Volume 2,”Out Oct 24 Via Better Noise Music

Collection Includes 16 Re-Recorded Songs
Along With Three Previously Unreleased Live Tracks
To Reclaim Band’s Legacy Following Sale Of Original Song Masters Without Band’s Knowledge

Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse, Five Finger Death Punch are marking their 20th anniversary with the release of two definitive greatest hits collections:
Best Of – Volume 1 (available now) and Best Of – Volume 2 (out October 24, 2025).

Both collections feature newly re-recorded versions of the band’s biggest anthems, created in response to their former label’s sale of the original song masters – made without the band’s knowledge or the opportunity to reclaim their legacy.

Turning that setback into something powerful and positive, the band chose not to simply remix or remaster but to fully re-record fan favorites across two volumes of greatest hits – both as a tribute to the songs and to the fans who’ve stood with the band over the last two decades.
While respecting and honoring the original recordings and those who helped shape them, the band is excited to revisit and bring renewed intensity to tracks like “Sham Pain,” “Blue On Black,” “Trouble,” and “Burn MF.” Together, the two Best Of collections celebrate the band’s respect for the past while reintroducing the music for a new era. See the full album track list for Best Of – Volume 2 below.

Leading the charge as the first single from Best Of – Volume 2 is the 2025 version of “The End” featuring BABYMETAL.

Vocalist SU-METAL reflects: “We were invited to take part in a 20th-anniversary collaboration project featuring guest artists on past songs. Five Finger Death Punch and BABYMETAL had performed at the same festival overseas back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then. I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by and based on the original lyrics of “The End,” and spent a lot of time experimenting to figure out what kind of voice would best suit such a deep, cool track. My favorite part of the song is the flow from the section starting with “Negai o kakete” right after the chorus into the break — I loved how my voice gradually got covered and engulfed by Ivan’s growl, which gave me chills. I hope listeners will enjoy that moment as well.”

With over 13 billion streams, countless #1 hits, and multiple gold and platinum certifications, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH remain one of the most dominant rock acts of the 21st century. Their 20th anniversary continues with Best Of – Volume 2, out October 24 via Better Noise Music, featuring 16 re-recorded classics plus three never-before-heard live versions of “Wash It All Away,” “Wrong Side Of Heaven,” and “Jekyll And Hyde.”

Penned about a real horse who, having been born wild in the NSW high country, has lived and worked with William since he was caught as a yearling.

This provided him the opportunity to work alongside Waddo in his studio (LWM House), as well as record with legendary musicians. Including Michel Rose, Doug Gallacher, Gus Fenwick, Lawrie Minson, Hugh Curtis and Brendan Radford. Enjoy this new chug along track from the ‘Singing Stockman’!

Thanks for listening to the records! William Alexander Management.

FALLOW FIELDS. DAVEY (SINGLE)

She’s gone to the UK.  He’s left behind. She asked you to keep an eye on him… two eyes in fact.  You’re keeping your eyes on him, but he’s not doing well. It’s not her fault she’s living her life.  It’s not his fault he’s falling apart.

So what can you do?… except write a song about it.

Davey is the ninth single to be released from Fallow Field’s debut album, Rocky Head Road.

ABOUT FALLOW FIELDS
Based in the misty hills of the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, Australia, Fallow Fields are a captivating husband and wife songwriting duo.

Their debut album ‘Rocky Head Road’ made an impressive entrance on the ARIA charts, debuting at #2 on the Australian Country Chart, #15 on the Australian Album Chart, and #19 on the Country Chart.

In their first week, it became the best-selling country album on Bandcamp, across vinyl, CD and digital formats. Having just celebrated its first birthday, the album is edging towards half-a-million streams on Spotify.

Fallow Fields’ songwriting is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of the complexities of love and life, where Danna and Rachel fearlessly lay bare their hearts for all to see. From moments of blissful joy, to heartbreaking despair, their songs capture the full spectrum of human experience with a vulnerability that is as brave as it is beautiful.

Fallow Fields’ country-tinged harmonies resonate with the depth and richness that only two decades of musical partnership can bring. With their voices finely tuned by years of shared experiences, Fallow Fields deliver harmonies that evoke the nostalgia of a bygone era.

From haunting ballads to foot-stomping anthems, the record takes the listener on a guided tour of a life well lived. Mixed by the illustrious Paul McKercher and mastered by the brilliant William Bowden, this is a release you won’t want to miss.

GEORGIA MULLIGAN releases sophomore album, UNHEAVEN

Singer-songwriter Georgia Mulligan has today revealed her sophomore album, Unheaven. A rich and transformative record, Unheaven is a body of work that holds the listener close. Touching on themes of loss, estrangement, fear and the many faces of love, Unheaven is a celebration of resilience which emerged at the intersection of daily life and creative practice.

“This album is:  Continuing. Say yes.
Even if you have to hold your breath & keep your eyes shut for the first part.
Take a moment, then keep going.
Self-awareness (the pursuit thereof).
Love (the undeniable and the mysterious).
Space for the losses you didn’t know you were allowed to grieve.”
GEORGIA MULLIGAN

Sonically, the record is a graceful blend of styles and sounds, encompassing indie rock, folk and pop; weaving them effortlessly together with Georgia’s bewitching vocals and powerful command of language. With the Sydney artist taking inspiration from fellow creatives such as PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding and Nick Cave, the result is a stunning body of work, primed for fans of Merpire, Courtney Barnett and Julia Jacklin.

Following the release of her 2023 debut Nothing Wrong, Mulligan felt stuck in a loop. Starting to write again was the way forward.

“With the encouragement of my heroes (those I love) I carved out some time for the shapes of the songs to appear out of the depths, sat by the water’s edge and played a few up to the surface. Some didn’t flow so easily, they needed trimming (or hacking) and suturing back together. “

“I wanted so much and at the same time I wanted Out. Looking back, the only one of those wants that was useful was that I wanted the Next Thing. I’ve always been looking ahead, from the moment I started doing this ‘songwriting and singing in public’ thing.”  GEORGIA MULLIGAN

Recorded across the Summer of 2024/25 at Golden Retriever Studios with additional recording at Rancom Street Studios, the album came together with musical contributions from Sydney music heavyweights Clayton Allen (drums & percussion), Maia Jelavic (lead guitar), Grace Turbo (piano) & Blain Cunneen (production, bass, keys, guitar).

Georgia Mulligan has cut her teeth sharing stages with the likes of Phantastic Ferniture, Nadia Reid, Angie McMahon, Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys, Cousin Tony’s Brand New Firebird and countless others, performing also as a member of Julia Jacklin’s touring band. Following the remarkable launch shows played for her recent single release, Georgia will soon be back on stage with a pair of album launch shows to celebrate Unheaven, with dates set for both Sydney and Thirroul in early October.

HAAi SHARES A NEW TRACK, ‘STITCHES’ AHEAD OF THE RELEASE OF HER EAGERLY ANTICIPATED SECOND STUDIO ALBUM

HUMANiSE – OUT 10 OCT 2025 ON MUTE

“… her solo work — which includes psychedelic electronica, massive breakbeat sounds, anthemic synth-kissed songs and remarkably fun D.J. sets — continues to cement her reputation as a stand-alone talent.” – The New York Times, one of 5 Artists to Watch, 2025

“Synthetic audio is married to analogue twists, while the songwriting itself is rooted in one of HAAi’s most imposing vocals to date.” Clash on Can’t Stand To Lose [HAAi, credit Sophie Webster]

London-based, Australian-born producer, songwriter and DJ, HAAi (aka Teneil Throssell) edges closer to the release of her second studio album, HUMANiSE, with the release of a new track, ‘Stitches’.

Listen to ‘Stitches’ HERE, which Throssell says is “a naive love letter to yourself, your lover and your friends. The people who evoke the strongest feelings in you and who make you feel the most human.”

Stitches’ comes hot on the heels of her tribute to the dancefloor, ‘Hey!,  and follows recent tracks ‘Satellite‘ (feat. Jon Hopkins & Obi Franky & ILĀ & TRANS VOICES) and ‘Can’t Stand To Lose’, both A-listed by BBC Radio 6 Music, plus her collaboration with KAM-BU, ‘Shapeshift’. After a busy summer – recent DJ sets include Coachella, Movement, Glastonbury (her Glastonbury B2B with Romy that went out on BBC Radio 1 featured the premiere of Romy’s remix of ‘Stitches’), Body Movements, helming UNiSON, her community-focussed night in London, as well as a drop in on Glamcult TV to record this intimate version of ‘Can’t Stand To Lose’) plus a remix of Chloé Caillet & Luke Alessi’s ‘The One ft. Jocelyn Brown’, HAAi won’t be taking her foot off the pedal this autumn. As well as a series of DJ dates she has several UK instore performances and signings confirmed for Brighton’s Resident, plus Bristol and London’s Rough Trade – full details below.

The new album – an immense evolution from her acclaimed debut – reckons with what it is to be human in an increasingly digital world, as AI threatens to eclipse everything and our screens separate us from each other. HUMANiSE is out on 10 October 2025 via Mute on limited edition clear double gatefold vinyl and limited-edition CD in eco card packaging.

In all of her work, Teneil has always sought to conquer new frontiers in electronic music, and on the new album, she’s drilling deeper into the grid to deliver an ambitious and thrilling epic: embodying a sonic step up, exploring the sweet spot between machine-led dystopia and emotion-filled utopia.

“Throughout the album, I kept thinking about a machine with a human heart,” she says. Where previously she’s been hidden by a laptop, or obscured behind the decks, more recently she was, “inspired to return to my songwriting roots and use my voice more in my own music.” Vocals are stunningly delicate and give a newfound dimension to her kinetic productions. “It took a long time to get there, it’s such a vulnerable thing to do,” she continues, “but for this album, it was important for me to allow this ‘human heart’ to be front and centre.”

The human heart has another focus on the album: unity and community. HAAi explains, “Even though HUMANiSE is about how the world is starting to change beyond our control, it’s important to keep a sense of togetherness and hope.” These ideas of community and a sense of belonging is of utmost importance, and she has returned to work with friends including Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip, singer Obi Franky and rapper KAM-BU, artist Kaiden Ford, as well as poet James Massiah, who guests on ‘All That Falls Apart’, and two choirs: TRANS VOICES with choir leader ILĀ and a gospel choir led by Wendi Rose. But this is no clique, the community she surrounds herself with is inclusive, with ample space for the listener on a journey where you are suspended in dreamlike euphoria, drawing the most human part of you to the surface – the part where nothing matters more than family, friends, and togetherness.

HUMANiSE is out on 10 October 2025 via Mute on limited edition clear double gatefold vinyl and limited-edition CD in eco card packaging. Pre-order HERE

 

 

 

Adelaide’s NORMAL BEHAVIOUR serves up new single ‘FAMOUS’

Leaning into a musical energy that blends both rock and indie in good measure, Adelaide’s NORMAL BEHAVIOUR has struck up a strong local following that has put them on the map as an act to watch in recent years. Raw honesty and an unfiltered approach to songwriting has already produced memorable music from the South Australians and as they step further into 2025, Normal Behaviour returns to take it up another level.

With new single ‘Famous’, the group bring the pulsating, emotional core of their rock songwriting together with an undeniably catchy arrangement that ensures the song remains with the listener, playback after playback.

‘Famous’ came together as part of a touchstone year for Normal Behaviour. Embarking on their first tour of North America in 2024 opened their eyes to the sheer level of opportunities that were open to them and as a result, redefined the vision they had in place for the project. During the tail end of the tour while spending some time in LA, the debut Normal Behaviour album was born.

Of their new single, Normal Behaviour explains, “We wrote this song fully aware of what it sounds like: a massive, catchy single. But underneath that, it’s about that moment when you realise you’ve been chasing the wrong thing for years. It’s about watching people around you ‘make it’ and wondering what any of it even means anymore. Ironically, the song is probably our most ‘hit-worthy’ release yet.

The production is crisp but raw, with live drums, the occasional sprinkle of production around the edges. The track is upbeat but never feels rushed. Lyrically, it’s bold and pokes fun at itself: “I just wanna be / Alone among the leaves / The crowd is after me / I’m so desperate.” Now all 27, the members of Normal Behaviour are approaching music with clearer eyes. ‘Famous’ isn’t just a song, it’s a mirror held up to the version of success we thought we needed, and a reminder of the joy we’ve  already found in creating music together in bedrooms with our best mates.” NORMAL BEHAVIOUR

Since their inception, Normal Behaviour have elevated on stages supporting the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, You Am I, Amyl & The Sniffers and Atlas Genius – the latter seeing the group take on 22 shows across the US in 2024. Previous songs like ‘Killing Time’ and ‘Hold Me’ have earned support across Australian music media including triple j and Triple J Unearthed; the way the band has continued to spread their wings musically, without losing their original signature has struck a chord with more listeners around the country and now, abroad.

With their debut album now in the can, Normal Behaviour is excited to look forward to what is coming next.

“The whole process was pretty surreal.  We have been trying so hard for so long and it really felt like one of those milestones where we could look at each other and really soak it in. These songs were born in rehearsal rooms and bedrooms in Blackwood, South Australia and then tracked and polished in Los Angeles, California, something we would only ever dream of doing.”

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN TOUR + NEW SINGLE “IT COMES FOR YOU”

Returning in January 2026 with Bodysnatcher (USA), Volatile Ways and Pain Body

Prolific metal band Fit For An Autopsy will return to Australia in January 2026. The New Jersey heavyweights will be joined by Florida’s Bodysnatcher, rising Australian force Volatile Ways and Pain Body – uniting for one of the most crushing line-ups to hit Australian stages in years.

Fit For An Autopsy also deliver an unrelenting standalone single, perfectly titled “It Comes For You”. The track is an aggressive, full-throttle journey right out of the gate; masterfully blending the band’s older sound with the high-caliber production and songwriting that has become a hallmark of Fit For An Autopsy. “It Comes For You” was recorded earlier this year at Graphic Nature Audio in Kinnelon NJ with the bands own Will Putney handling the production, mixing and mastering. The cover artwork was created by Jorden Haley. Watch the visual onslaught that Eric Richter at Channel 13 Productions created for “It Comes For You” here.

Fit For An Autopsy’s Will Putney states, “An aggressive offering from our camp felt like an appropriate response to the current climate of class disparity and political overreach. Sometimes I feel like we’re beating a dead horse over here but it’s important to consistently remind the listener to remain intolerant of such authoritarian rule.  Believe it or not, but one day, it comes for you.”

When Fit For An Autopsy return in 2026, they’ll be armed with their seventh and most ambitious album, The Nothing That Is (2024). A ringing wake-up call for humanity sleepwalking into a dystopian existence, The Nothing That Is is a thoroughly intense and complex aural experience, delivered with the confidence of a band that has honed its skills and sense of purpose through 15-plus years of all-out live shows that has made them one of the most respected names in modern metal. Before they land Down Under, Fit For An Autopsy will join Killswitch Engage on a 25-date trek across Europe and the UK, as well as a stop at Knotfest Mexico.

Coming to Australia with Fit For An Autopsy will be Florida bruisers Bodysnatcher. The devastating quartet deal in destruction and their 2024 EP, Vile Conduct, is a masterclass of unrelenting heavy, delivered by one of the best in the game. Next up is Newcastle’s Volatile Ways who have barged their way into the heavy music sphere with their explosive beatdown deathcore that has everyone on notice. Rounding out the line-up is Human Warfare’s newest signing Pain Body who marked their arrival as a new force in extreme music with their debut single “Hymns of Melancholy”.

ABOUT FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY
Fit For An Autopsy’s acclaimed 2022 album On What the Future Holds was the band’s highest-charting release to date, becoming the first of their six full-lengths to reach the Top 25 of the Billboard 200. But while some musicians would take such an achievement as a cue to duplicate whatever worked last time, or maybe even tailor their sound to boost its commercial appeal, the band—vocalist Joe Badolato, guitarists Will Putney, Patrick Sheridan, and Tim Howley, bassist Peter Spinazola, and drummer Josean Orta—simply continued to evolve along their own path. The Nothing That Is, Fit For An Autopsy’s seventh and latest album (and third for Nuclear Blast), bears no sign whatsoever of commercial concession or rehashed past glories. Instead, the ten-song album finds the band exploring moodier textures and deeper emotions that add new power and dynamics to their already brutal and complex music, while also completely tuning out the ambient noise of passing musical trends and the expectations of the outside world. Produced by Putney at his Graphic Nature Audio studio in Kinnelon, New Jersey, The Nothing That Is is an album filled with anger, frustration, and crushing despair. Songs like “Hostage”, “Red Horizon”, “Lower Purpose”, and the pummeling title track grapple with the horrors that the human race has unnecessarily inflicted upon the world, while the epic, introspective closer “The Silver Sun” reflects bitterly upon our uncertain future. Built to be listened to in its entirety in a single sitting, The Nothing That Is flows like the gripping soundtrack to a documentary film of our increasingly dystopian existence. A ringing wake-up call for humanity and a thoroughly intense listening experience, The Nothing That Is brims with both aggression and melody, it’s bracing music is delivered with the confidence of a band that has honed its skills and forged its sense of purpose through fifteen-plus years of all-out live shows. Sufficiently secure of their place in the metal firmament to let their music go wherever feels right for a particular song, Fit For An Autopsy have delivered what may well be the greatest album of their career.

NICK MULVEY RELEASES NEW SINGLE ‘SUPERNATURAL HEALING’
LISTEN HERE

DARK HARVEST (Pt. 2) ALBUM OUT OCTOBER 24
AUSTRALIAN VINYL RELEASED VIA IMPRESSED RECORDINGS
PRE-ORDER ALBUM & PRE-SAVE VINYL HERE

DARK HARVEST WORLD TOUR TO HIT AUSTRALIA FEBRUARY 2026
TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE

British singer-songwriter, composer, and producer Nick Mulvey announces his fifth studio album Dark Harvest Part 2, set for release Friday October 24.

Mercury Prize-shortlisted British singer-songwriter, composer and producer Nick Mulvey today reveals the second single from his second album of 2025, Dark Harvest (Pt. 2) is set for release on Friday October 24 via his own label Supernatural Records.

The latest single ‘Supernatural Healing’ reflects on the costs of endless searching and the clarity that comes from letting go. Born from years of restless exploration, the track captures the moment of surrender to a deeper current – a song of release, renewal, and finding peace beyond the chase.

LISTEN TO ‘SUPERNATURAL HEALING’ HERE

“Someone once said to me “Nick, you’ll never find the water when you’re digging in many shallow wells”.  I don’t remember who this person was but I’m grateful to them because they planted a seed in me, one that would lay dormant for many years. Until recently” says Mulvey.

Having founded his own label, Supernatural Records, and distributing via AWAL, Nick is writing a new independent chapter in his story. For Dark Harvest, Nick reached out to some incredible collaborators to help him express his inner-most musings. Legendary producer Jimmy Hogarth (Amy Winehouse, Paolo Nutini), the boundary-pushing Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins), and the globally renowned Parisi Brothers (Ed Sheeran, Fred Again..), have all lent a hand in assisting Nick to actualise his intentions.

If Dark Harvest (Pt. 1). was the tilling of hard ground – songs born from upheaval, loss and searching – Dark Harvest (Pt. 2) is the first fruits of the harvest: intimate, defiant and unflinchingly hopeful. These ten tracks carry the quiet power of a life rebuilt, rooted in surrender and ripened in service.

The powerful conclusion to his two-part journey through grief, humility, and grace, the album follows an extraordinary year of touring to date with a sold out headline tour in the UK followed by appearances in Europe and a triumphantly packed Glastonbury performance this summer. On the horizon a headline tour in Ireland, mainland Europe and North America to close the year – followed by Australia in February 2026.

Musician, composer and producer, Nick Mulvey’s work pushes boundaries in songwriting and sound, in music both traditional and experimental, acoustic and electronic. With a unique path to success, Nick spent his early days studying Ethnomusicology in London, before becoming a founding member of the award-winning collective Portico Quartet. He left in 2011 to concentrate on his own material, and once solo, released the Mercury Prize shortlisted debut album First Mind in 2014. 2017’s celebrated Wake Up Now came next, along with a number of EPs. Mulvey’s latest offering was 2022’s New Mythology, recorded during the Covid 19 pandemic whilst in Paris. He now returns, refreshed and rejuvenated by the challenges and successes of his life over the last three years, with Dark Harvest (Pt. 1) and Dark Harvest (Pt.2 ).

Dark Harvest (Pt. 2) is Nick Mulvey at his most raw, radiant, and redemptive – a closing chapter that feels like a brand new beginning.

JONI MITCHELL Releases Joni’s Jazz 

Exploring The Grammy Award Winner’s Lifelong Connection To Jazz Across Five Decades Of Music

8LP Vinyl Box Set, 4CD Edition, & Digital Version Out Now

Includes 61 Tracks Selected By Mitchell, Rare Photos, Original Artwork, And Fine Art Print With Purchase

Joni Mitchell has released Joni’s Jazz, a passion project years in the making. This career-spanning collection features recordings chosen by Mitchell that reflect jazz’s profound influence on her music. The release is available now as an 8LP vinyl box set, a 4CD edition, and across all digital and streaming platforms. Both the vinyl and CD versions include liner notes with rare and previously unseen photos and original artwork by Mitchell.

Order & listen here
https://jm.lnk.to/JonisJazz

A Joni Mitchell Archives fine-art print is available as a gift-with-purchase exclusive from 
jonimitchell.com

Spanning 61 tracks, Joni’s Jazz includes studio recordings, live performances, rare alternate takes and previously unreleased demos, and material drawn from multiple decades and record labels.

Listen to “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Live at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, September 9, 1979)” HERE

The set features contributions from some of Mitchell’s most important collaborators in jazz, among them Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, and Charles Mingus. Mitchell, who calls Shorter her favorite collaborator, dedicates the collection to him following his passing in 2023. “It was a joy to play with him,” she writes. “He will be missed, but he will remain alive for me in this music.”

Covering nearly every era of her recording career, the collection includes selections from Songs To A Seagull, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Mingus, Turbulent Indigo, Both Sides Now (a 2001 GRAMMY® Award winner), and more. It also features her guest appearances on projects like Hancock’s GRAMMY® Award-winning album, River: The Joni Letters.

Across the collection, the music follows Mitchell’s artistic growth — from the rhythmic layering of “Harry’s House / Centerpiece” to the bold experimentation of “The Jungle Line,” the narrative scale of “Paprika Plains,” and the airy, improvised feel of “A Chair In The Sky.”

It draws from more than five decades of Mitchell’s recordings, going back to 1968 for “Marcie,” from Song To A Seagull. The most recent is her performance of “Summertime,” recorded live at the 2023 Newport Folk Festival. It marked Mitchell’s first full-length concert in over two decades — a powerful return that resonated around the world.

As a self-portrait in sound, Joni’s Jazz captures an artist in conversation with jazz over a lifetime — never imitating, always inventing. Last year, in the liner notes for Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 4, she joked, “People ask me my favorite of my albums, it’s going to be Joni’s Jazz.” Now it is.
