Tigercub have premiered a new video for their new song “I’m Breaking Out.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Nets To Catch The Wind,” which will be released on April 10. Vocalist/guitarist Jamie Hall said the following about the single:
“‘I’m Breaking Out‘ attempts to express the futility of incompatibility and looks beyond it. I’m trying to navigate someone’s emotions like unfamiliar water.. trying to get past the façade. But I can’t, and the song is ultimately about giving myself permission to stop trying..”

Helmet have shared a new in-studio performance. The set was recorded at Gojira vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier’s Silver Cord Studio in Ridgewood, NY.
Pro-shot footage of Rage Against The Machine‘s May 27, 1996 set at the Pinkpop festival in Landgraaf, NET has been uploaded to YouTube. You can check that out below. Notably, Public Enemy‘s Chuck D joined the band onstage for “Zapata’s Blood” and a cover of Public Enemy’s “Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos” during the performance.

Polyphia guitarist Tim Henson has premiered a new video for his new song “Original Sin.“ You can check that out below. The solo track was released alongside the announcement of his “Original Sin” clothing line.
Henson commented:
“‘Original Sin’ started as something digital with synths and keys, but once I translated it to my nylon-string guitar, everything clicked. I wanted to play with contradiction: a waltz that feels like it’s driving forward, something elegant but uncomfortable. Conceptually, it’s about choice. If you’re forced to do the right thing, it doesn’t mean anything. That idea – freedom, temptation, consequence – is something I’ve been thinking about a lot.”
A press release added:
“The title ‘Original Sin,’ which Henson frames less as a moral lesson and more as a metaphor, is about creation as a game of agency, where meaning only exists because choice does. The philosophy extends into the music video which visually reinforces these themes. The vision behind Henson’s forthcoming clothing brand launch of the same name, is a high-end, complementary creative extension of the release, merging elevated design with the same meticulous attention to detail that defines his music.”
Mammoth, the project headed by Wolfgang Van Halen, have premiered a new video for their song “One Of A Kind.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s latest album “The End.”
Violet Grohl, the daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, has signed with Republic Records. The deal was made through her imprint Auroura Records.
Kristina Grossmann, SVP of A&R/operations at Republic Records, said the following:
“From the moment we met Violet, it was clear that she represents the next generation of artists. The music is immediate, intentional and her voice holds a rare duality. She is unapologetically cool and is a fearless female voice. We couldn’t be more excited to help bring her vision and this album to life.”
David Wolter, EVP/head of A&R at Republic Records, also commented:
“Violet brings a rare combination of perspective, artistry, and reverence for the craft. She understands the history of music, but she’s also pushing it forward. She is the future.”
With this news, Violet has also given a wide release to her songs “THUM” and “Applefish.” Those tracks were previously exclusive to Bandcamp. A third single exclusive to that service, “What’s Heaven Without You,” was recently released as well. Violet said the following about that track:
“This song was written in David Lynch’s memory alongside two of my favorite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan and Justin Raisen. A few days after the chaos and devastation of the L.A. fires, we came together in our sadness and grief and let it pour out into this song. We hope you can find some resonance in it. The impact he left on art is truly magical. We miss you, David.”

“Super stoked to be returning to the States for our first full tour in 11 years and with Sy Keeler back at the helm, it’s gonna’ be mega..! This is just Part 1, we’re bringing this tour to the entire USA so that nobody gets to miss out on this epic setlist..! See you in the Pit..!”
Warlord’s Mark Zonder added:
“Although Warlord is an American band, formed in 1980… in those 45 years since, we never once performed live in the USA (our first gig ever was actually in Germany in 2002). This year we will set forth on our first ever tour of North America, performing the set that fans would have seen from us if we had done this all those years ago, the full “Deliver Us” Mini LP, “Cannons” tracks, “Lost And Lonely Days” EP and more.”
