Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter Comments On The Leak Of The “Eros” & “Ohms” Demos
As previously reported, Deftones’ shelved 2008 album “Eros” and demos from the sessions for their 2020 album “Ohms” recently leaked online. The tracks have since been removed, but the band never issued a statement on the matter. However, Stephen Carpenter has since commented on the situation during a chat on “The Dr. Greenthumb” podcast.
Carpenter said the following when asked about “Eros” getting “scraped from the internet”:
“I don’t know if it’s been scraped from the internet or not, and I don’t know to what extent it’s leaked, but every record of ours since ‘White Pony” has leaked. It happens.”
He then further addressed the leak:
“Yeah, [the leaker is] somewhere in the chain. But I mean the reality is now people have the internet available and you can share stuff instantly. So once it gets on the web, yeah, it’s gone.”
He also added the following about the material surfacing on YouTube:
“They’ve been on YouTube though for a long time, that’s how I listen to them.”

Shinedown Earn First-Ever Billboard Country Airplay Entry
Shinedown have scored their first-ever Billboard Country Airplay entry. The band achieved the feat with their single “Searchlight,” which hit No. 54 on the chart. That track is from their latest album “Ei8ht.”
Singer Brent Smith told Billboard the following:
“It was a bit more of a power ballad, and then the guys let me come back in the studio, and I re-sang it with kind of a different intention built around more of that authentic country, really old-school country vibe. But at the end of the day, we always say that Shinedown is everyone’s band, and it’s been incredible to see the country format and just the audiences embrace the song. Everything we did with it was built from authenticity.”
Guitarist Zach Myers added:
“We’ve always felt a good song is a good song. It doesn’t matter where it comes from. A good song with a good lyric and a good hook and a good melody is gonna catch on.bIt means a lot to us. The fact that we can even be accepted by another format is really cool to us. So, thank you to country radio for playing the song. We know they’re a group of people who are very proud of what they do, so thank you very much for letting us in.”

Social Distortion Are Using Fully Upcycled Merch Items On Their European Tour
Social Distortion are selling 100% upcycled merch on their current European tour. Shirts and hoodies were printed on blanks Universal Music Group’s merchandising division, Bravado put together from unsold merch in their Nashville warehouse.
The unused items were sent to Tangier in Morocco. Hallotex then broke them down and spun them into new yarn. The initiative, which was proposed by Billie Eilish’s mother Maggie Baird, was launched to create 280,000 recycled cotton merch items for musicians to sell on their European tours.
Social Distortion’s Mike Ness commented:
“It’s important to everyone in the band that we always do what we can to reduce our footprint on the environment, and using these 100% recycled blanks for t-shirts on our tour is an easy way to do just that. We hope that our fans will love them.”
Matt Young, CEO of Bravado, continued:
“There are a huge number of artists that have been waiting for this kind of sustainable option for merch on their tours. We’re thrilled that Social D will be among the first bands to take these new t-shirts and hoodies out on the road with them. This is an important innovation as we continue to decrease the impact made by touring and merch.”
Dylan Siegler, head of sustainability for Universal Music Group, added:
“Merch gives fans a tangible way to connect with artists, and this project gives them a way to connect with sustainability at the same time. These are pieces fans will feel good about purchasing.”
