  • Sublime Announce “Me Gusta” Festival

    Sublime have announced the launch of their “Me Gusta” festival. The first show will take place at the Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, TX on May 9 with Slightly Stoopid set to open. An additional event is also being planned in Oregon for June 27. Further details can be found HERE.

    Frontman Jakob Nowell commented:

    “It’s always been our dream to put on a Festival for our friends and family. It’s punk rock, hip hop, reggae, surf — all facets of true west coast alternative culture that has been kept alive for generations by fans and musicians alike. This is our era now and we got nothing but love for everyone coming with us.”

    The festival’s co-producer, Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions, also added:

    “As someone who lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I couldn’t be more excited to launch the first-ever Sublime Me Gusta Festival right in our own backyard. Sublime and Slightly Stoopid are two of the most influential bands of our generation and bringing them together for this new festival is something truly special. Fort Worth is the perfect place to kick off Sublime Me Gusta, and we can’t wait to share the full experience with everyone.”

  • Loss Becomes Premiere “Home” Music Video

    Loss Becomes have premiered a new video for their song “Home.” You can check that out below. The track appears on the band’s latest album “Sonder.”

    Vocalist Anthony Copozzi commented on the single:

    “‘Will I ever come back home?’

    This lyric for me personally means a million things,. One of them is learning to move on and allow growth, even when in a mentally unhealthy place. Things like…past feelings. Growing older. Healing old wounds. Moving on from what was once a safe place and finding a new one. All while doing that asking yourself honest questions while looking inward.

    Questions like, ‘Do I feel seen? Do I feel heard? Who am I now that this time has passed? Who are these people around me? Who am I to these people around me? Do I belong here? Am I happy? Does this fill my cup? Or am I filling some ‘thing’ or someone else’s cup?”

    ‘Patience is everything.’

    “Being gentle and kind with yourself in these moments is one of the hardest things to do, but from what I’ve learned, you have to. Especially as you are trying to survive from your own personal hell.”

    He also added the following about the video:

    “Brian [Tsao] got pretty excited. We all did. But Chef? He really got into it and had a little spill. This is probably our favorite song to play collectively as a band. That was felt especially while filming the video. Once the end kicks in, we all pretty much lock in and it’s one of the oddest connections I’ve ever felt while in a band. One hive mind. No one asked if Brian was okay. He’s still upset.”

  • Make Them Suffer’s Alex Reade On Cincinnati, OH Concert: “I Was So Sick On Stage I Had To Leave The Set”

    During Make Them Suffer’s November 23 show at Bogart’s in Cincinnati, OH, keyboardist/vocalist Alex Reade was forced to leave the stage early due to illness. The musician was “physically unable to stand and continue to perform.”

    Reade commented:

    “Hey Cincinnati!!

    Last night I was so sick on stage I had to leave the set/stage early which I have never had to do in my life and in almost 20 years of performing.

    I started to black out/pass out on stage, and as the set progressed, I was physically unable to stand and continue to perform before imminent collapse, my body was shaking.

    Cincinnati I love playing your city, you always bring incredible energy, I’m sorry to let you down last night.

    We will make it up to you when we return again xx”

    She later added:

    “Thanks ya’ll for the messages I am okkkkk!!!! (Ish.) Still sick, in fact I think the whole tour party is sick, but Philly this show tonight is gonna smashhhhhh let’s go”

    The band issued a statement as well:

    “Cincinnati, thank you for looking out for us. Last night we had to stop our set early after Alex began blacking out. We’ve never had to stop a set or cancel a show in 10+ years of touring. It put us in a situation we weren’t prepared for and it wasn’t a decision we took lightly. Health always comes first. We had fun while it lasted and it was good to be back — we appreciate you more than you know.”

  • Sodom To Release Expanded Edition Of “Get What You Deserve” In February

    Sodom have announced a new expanded edition of their 1994 album “Get What You Deserve.” The deluxe set will be available on February 27 and it can be pre-ordered HERE.

    Further information was shared in a press release:

    “Hard, Mangy, Antisocial – You Get What You Deserve!

    “What the hell are you bums wasting my money on?!” roared the legendary — and in 2025 deceased — SPV boss Manfred Schütz, yelling down the phone on an already rainy autumn day. On the other end of the line: Sodom.

    In 1993, the legendary lineup of Tom Angelripper (bass, vocals), Andy Brings (guitar) and Atomic Steif (drums). Before the three musicians’ instantly horizontal hairdos had even fallen back onto their shoulders, the old-school record boss barked again: “We’re not putting this album out like that — end of discussion!”

    Yet the blood-soaked scene from an unknown Düsseldorf hotel room, with its many hints toward the songs on Get What You Deserve, fit perfectly with the music of Sodom’s sixth studio album — a 16-track chunk of fury with which the band defiantly stood against the musical zeitgeist of the early ’90s. Andy Brings: “Back then every band suddenly wanted to be Pantera or Machine Head. Incredibly clean, sterile, and technically perfect. We didn’t. Couldn’t, weren’t, didn’t want to!” Band leader Tom Angelripper adds: “With Get What You Deserve we wanted to return to our roots — more Venom, more Motörhead. Andy’s punk roots also came through stronger, which was right up my alley. Short songs, maximum impact, straight in your face — the way it should be!”

    A few months earlier, Sodom had released the Aber Bitte Mit Sahne EP — partly to introduce their new drummer Atomic Steif, and partly to have fresh songs ready for the upcoming Christmas Metal Meetings Tour at the end of 1993 with Motörhead, Kreator and Entombed. The EP also served as a test run for what would become a fruitful collaboration with then-unknown producer Wolfgang Stach, who would go on to major success with Guano Apes, Jupiter Jones, and BAP.

    The new lineup unleashed unexpected power within Sodom. The songs came together quickly and were recorded in record time — raw and wild, yet incredibly tight. Brings: “There’s nothing nice about this album — not the sound, not the lyrics. It wasn’t supposed to be. It was meant to be completely unfriendly. The others were the polished ones.” Angelripper: “With Atomic Steif on drums, we became an unstoppable machine — in the studio and on stage. It breaks our hearts that he passed away far too soon on August 31, 2025, at only 57, and can’t witness how songs like Jabba The Hutt, Sodomized, and Silence Is Consent are being rediscovered and loved again. He was the German Dave Lombardo — an incredible drummer!”

    Thirty-two years later, this snarling beast is being unleashed on the metal community once again. A timeless punch to the gut — or, as Maik Weichert, guitarist and mastermind of German metalcore heroes Heaven Shall Burn, puts it: “The best punk album of the nineties!”

    Get What You Deserve will be released as an extensive box set, remastered and newly mixed by Andy Brings, including the remastered and remixed Aber Bitte Mit Sahne EP, plus the first concert with Atomic Steif as a bonus double LP and a DVD with additional live shows. Alongside the original hotel room cover, the package also includes the censored version with the band photo and the originally planned artwork featuring a Knarrenheinz painting by cult artist Andreas Marschall. Andy Brings: “I wanted to strip the album — which already had almost no additives and zero ballast — down to the absolute maximum. No samples, no tricks, just a very pissed-off band at the peak of its creative energy.” Tom Angelripper: “Over 30 years ago, we went against the current with this album — and we’re doing it again today. Nothing sounds like this record, and that makes me proud. Get What You Deserve was, is, and will always be the sound of pure defiance. My personal favorite Sodom album!

    Get What You Deserve will be released on February 27, 2026 via BMG and is available for pre-order now. The first single, “Sodomized,” was the first song written by the new lineup in 1993.

    The accompanying video, made from Brings’ private footage of the Christmas Metal Meetings Tour, features not only the band but also Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead and other legendary musicians.

    Sodom’s deluxe, expanded reissue of Get What You Deserve is available in these formats.

    Super deluxe ‘shotgun wound’ liquid vinyl box set edition. 5LP, book, poster, DVD and backpatch (limited to 150 copies via the Noise Records store only)
    Box set including 5LP’s on deluxe colour wax, book, poster and DVD.
    Double, gatefold milky clear vinyl.
    Triple CD digisleeve with 24 page booklet
    Pre-orders of the deluxe boxset edition will come with a limited 30cm x 30cm art card signed by Tom Angelripper and Andy Brings from the Noise Records store, while stocks last!

  • Watch The Darkness Members Perform At St. Pancras International Station

    Earlier today (November 25), The Darkness’ Justin and Dan Hawkins played a set at the St. Pancras International train station in London, England. You can see footage of that impromptu performance below:

    Justin commented:

    “As Santa prepares to fly his reindeer-fueled sleigh of Slays across the night sky, thence to squeeze his tubby frame down the exhaust flues of the nation’s central heating boilers, so we, The Darkness, dust off our Christmas songs in readiness for a glut of celebration! And what better place to celebrate than Britain’s favourite railway station?! As the commuters hurry by, mince pies crushed in their frozen palms, we are filled with joy to tickle the ivories of Christmas Warmth, and strum upon the Lute of Festive Light.”

    Peter Martin-Jones, head of marketing at London St. Pancras Highspeed, added:

    “St. Pancras International has become one of London’s go-to spots for live music, and having The Darkness bring such a festive performance to one of our iconic pianos perfectly captures that spirit. We are so pleased that Justin and Dan chose to pay us a visit in such an exciting week of announcements for the band.”

    Wells commented:

    “I am so incredibly proud and happy to announce that today, on my 40th birthday, I’m officially presenting and releasing my second children’s book, ‘Clark Barks!’ inspired by our middle beagle babe, Clark…our loudest, precious boy!

    I wrote this story at the start of the year and have been working tirelessly illustrating and finalizing it ever since!

    I want to thank my wife @mrs._jewells for her advice and patience as I was up MANY late nights, my family and friends for their support, and of course the star of this book, our sweet Clarky! Most importantly God for giving me the love for writing and illustrating and seeing this project through! It is such a fun and challenge experience and something that I am so proud of every time I complete it!

    Clark Barks!’ is available online worldwide via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc! I’m also so happy to announce that I will be doing a book signing at @nadinewestbookcompany in Glasgow, KY on Dec. 20th from 12-2pm! (They will also have copies before and during the event!) and would love to see you there! You can also DM me if you can’t make the event and would like a personalized signed copy!

    Children’s books bring me so much joy and I absolutely love creating these stories inspired by our sweet pups!

    Enjoy ‘Clark Barks!’ OUT NOW!!”

    Here’s a description of the book:

    “Clark isn’t just any beagle-he’s the neighborhood’s loudest hero! Known for barking at everything (and sometimes nothing at all),his nonstop ‘AROOOO!’ once seemed like pure beagle chaos! But one day, everyone realized Clark’s bark had a purpose! Now, this once ‘noisy beagle’ wears his title with pride! Clark is more than a barker-he’s the heartbeat and hero of his neighborhood!

    This children’s book is filled with fun, colorful images, and features a fun rhyming read! It is perfect for the dog lover of any age who considers their barking buddy to be the hero of their household!”

  • Tool’s Justin Chancellor On Lengthy Waits For New Music: “Art Doesn’t Really Have A Schedule”

    During an interview with The Australian, Tool’s Justin Chancellor discussed the band’s new music plans. The group were hoping to release new material quicker than usual, but as Chancellor put it “art doesn’t really have a schedule” and “you can’t force it.”

    Chancellor said the following:

    “We’re working on new music. I don’t know when we’re going to finish it. We’ve been working on stuff on and off for a couple of years, you know? And we we’re always working on new music. I was in the studio with Danny [Carey, Tool drummer] last week, banging out some ideas. But we don’t… I always say this, art doesn’t really have a schedule, you know what I mean? Like, you can’t force it. And if you do, it tends not to work out so great. So, I think, especially in our band, it’s somehow it’s just the way it works with our band. It’s a different kind of alchemy.

    And I think we’ve all learned, you know, Maynard‘s [James Keenan, Tool vocalist] got his side projects, Danny [Carey, Tool drummer] does a bunch of different stuff, Adam [Jones, Tool guitarist] does different sh*t, and I’ve got my my stuff. And we’ve learned to sort of pare out the time when people need that space with busying ourselves with other things, which actually influence what we do when we come back together as well. So it kind of gives us a little headroom that speaks to the new stuff that we do when we come back together.”

    He continued:

    “…Everyone’s always taking a piss like, it takes so long for us to make music, but I’m proud of everything we’ve done. And I don’t like 13 years. They always talk about 13 years. It seems like a week to me. When we were working on that stuff every day, we were grinding away at it. And it doesn’t really matter in the end. If you do anything that’s decent, even if it’s one thing, it’s worth it.”

    He also added the following when asked if requests for new music could be considered a compliment:

    “I think it’s more interesting to take a long time to find something unique than just to keep repeating yourself. No offense to anyone that, you know, I guess we… let’s just call it pop music, right? They just keep churning out the hits. I mean, people love that stuff, so, there’s a place for it. And there’s a reason that there’s people that are good at that, but that’s not us. We’re into trying to create something unique that hasn’t been heard before as musicians, as a band. …Sometimes it gets harder and harder. Sometimes it just comes to you, you know, like some some days you’re like, ‘Whoa, what’s this?’ And you play it to your friends and they’re like, ‘Whoa’, that’s you know, it’s amazing. It just comes out of the blue.

    But you can’t really… it’s not a formula, you know what I mean? There is no formula. And if anything, the formula is just to carry on living life and exploring and letting it come in from your life experiences. I think with us, that’s the way it works a lot more. but I get what you’re saying. It is a compliment that people are excited for new music. But we just don’t want it to be on a schedule. We want it just to be good. We want to be proud of it, and we want to all agree that this is what we want to share. So like I was saying, the side projects are a really good way of us alleviating that that time, and kind of keeping the fitness up, but like not pushing the whole issue.”

  • Michael Monroe Premieres “Disconnected” Video

    Michael Monroe (ex-Hanoi Rocks) has premiered a new video for his new song “Disconnected.” This track will appear on his new album, “Outerstellar,” which will be released on February 20. Monroe said the following about the single:

    “Technology was supposed to bring people closer together, when, in fact, people are more disconnected than ever. They’re looking at their phones and their computers and downloading stuff. And, you know, the Internet can’t take away the experience of being at a live show. You’re on stage, and you communicate with the audience who are there, in that moment. That’s where the magic really happens, and absolutely no program or device or computer can reproduce that.”
