  • Don Broco Share Music Video For “True Believers” Featuring Sam Carter (Architects)

    Don Broco have premiered a new video for their new song “True Believers.” The track, which features Architects frontman Sam Carter, is from the band’s new album, “Nightmare Tripping,” which will be released tomorrow (March 27).

    Don Broco’s Rob Damiani commented:

    “We started writing this song back in 2024 during the Southport Riots. At the same time the Olympics were on, and flicking between them and the news was an alarming contrast between celebratory British patriotism and violent English nationalism. Over the last few years it’s been impossible to avoid the rise of the far-right across Europe and the United States, seeing politicians and people on the streets alike using the Nazi salute freely without consequence, and genocide apologist’s ideas embraced in the mainstream media. This song is about the brainwashing that’s led to this, to question what we’ve been brought up believing and the narratives that have been reinforced for generations.

    As soon as the initial ideas were fleshed out I wanted Sam on this track. We’ve been fans of Architects for a long time and the energy and aggression he brings to his vocals are unmatched. As a human being of planet earth he’s used his talents again and again to stand up for what’s right so to collaborate on this song with him was very special.”

  • Legal Dispute Breaks Out Over The Estate Of The Late Shifty Shellshock (Crazy Town)

    According to TMZ, a legal dispute has broke out over the estate of the late Seth “Shifty Shellshock” Binzer (Crazy Town). The situation has been a complicated one due to the singer’s lack of will.

    Shifty‘s ex and the mother of his 17-year-old son Gage, Tracy Shelor was seeking to become the administrator of the estate in May 2025. Around that time, it was estimated to be worth $140,000.

    However, in July 2025, Shifty‘s older son Halo Binzer tried to gain control of the estate and the estimate was closer to $90,500. Shelor protested Halo‘s bid and accused him of “squandering” his father’s royalties and hiding “personal effects.”

    For his part, Halo denied those allegations and claimed his father’s estate had “no tangible personal effects of any value.” He also said Shifty “had a severe substance abuse problem and sold anything of value to support his lifestyle.”

    As if that wasn’t enough, Jasmine Lennard, the mother of Shifty’s son Phoenix, also took legal action after taking issue with Shelor. The two previously had problems in the past.

    Notably, Shelor has since disputed Halo‘s valuation of the estate. According to her, an unreleased album, two potential documentaries, and other potential contracts were not accounted for.

  • Frozen Soul Share Music Video For “Invoke War” Featuring Machine Head’s Robb Flynn

    Frozen Soul have premiered a new video for their new song “Invoke War.” The track, which features Machine Head vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn, is from the band’s new album, “No Place Of Warmth,” which will be released on May 8.

    Vocalist Chad Green commented:

    “‘Invoke War‘ is about the internal battle we all have to fight when navigating loss, grief, guilt, and depression. It’s about getting back up. It’s meant to be the anthem to your day, the background music to your story, the extra weapon you might need to help conquer whatever you’re struggling with. Robb’s lyrics add a whole new layer of power and emotion to the song. This is a follow up to ‘Arsenal Of War,’ which was about remembering and carrying the light and memories of your lost loved one with you.

    We wanted to show that this isn’t some big war with a ton of actors—this is the war we fight alone inside every day. We brought trinkets to hold up in the video to remember the good times and remind us that the battle may never end but we can choose to remember while we move forward. At the end, I dig up the dagger from the ‘No Place Of Warmth’ video out of the bloody soil, a symbol of how hard it is to remember and relive those things. That dagger has my [late] brother Cory’s name engraved on the side facing away from the camera. I stared at it the entire scene thinking about how badass he would think it was with me all bloody holding a dagger.”
