The Kinison Announce Pomona, CA Show

The Kinison will be performing at The Glasshouse in Pomona, CA on May 29. Vocalist Christopher Lewis said the following about the upcoming show:

“The Glasshouse always felt like our home venue, so it felt fitting to make our return there. We’d sometimes get last-minute calls to fill in after a band dropped off a show or couldn’t make it — we were the house band. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been on that stage.”

Exodus Now Have Censored And Uncensored Versions Of Their “3111” Music Video

Exodus have now shared censored and uncensored videos for their song “3111.” The uncensored version can be found HERE, while the censored version can be found below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Goliath,” which will be available on March 20. Guitarist Gary Holt said the following:

“So here it is, time to share the full, uncensored version of the video for ‘3111’! If you put it in movie terminology, we have the PG, PG13 and with this one, the rated-R version! With YouTube flagging what we consider the PG13 version repeatedly with threats of losing our page permanently (which, to be honest, contains nothing you can’t find on YouTube already) we decided to really push it and include all the scenes we KNEW they would not allow! So here’s the full video, with its own web site to view! Enjoy!”

Def Leppard’s Rick Savage On New Music: “We’re A Few Songs Short Of Having Two Albums”

During a recent interview with People, Def Leppard bassist Rick Savage revealed that the band have a wealth of new material. According to him, the group are “a few songs short of having two albums.”

Savage said the following:

“We’ve really got enough material, and we’ll have enough material to take us through to the end of the decade pretty much. We’re a few songs short of having two albums.”

He went on to say the band’s next album may arrive in early 2027:

“It’s an ongoing process, really. If we needed to put the album out next week, we absolutely could, but we’re still writing, we’re still recording, we’re still finishing off. It’s like we always say, the last 20% takes 80% of the time to get it right. So, we’re kind of in that process.”

This news comes shortly after Def Leppard released a new single titled “Rejoice.”
